Hypnosis is a naturally occuring phenomenon, which is regularly employed by sports psychologists.  When athletes speak of "being in the zone," they are actually referring to a trance state. 

The World Games defines pool/billiards as a precision, non-reactive sport.  As such, a premium is placed on focus, imagery, visualization and anxiety or arousal control.  Regular use of this CD is designed to help your mental game.  Much the same as regular and consistent physical exercise helps to build aerobic capacity, consistent use of Mind/Body Pool © is designed to assist in strengthening your mental focus and visualization skills.  Try listening to it prior to your practice sessions or matches.  Caution:  Do not listen to this CD while you are driving or operating machinery.

Mind/Body Pool © is essentially divided into two parts:  a trance induction and specific pool imagery.  The former is designed to get the player into a highly relaxed and intensely focused, altered state of consciousness.  The latter portion allows the player to "practice away from the table."  University research has actually shown that small, minute muscle movement occurs when visualization and imagery are practiced, helping to build "muscle memory."
