The most valuable tool for me on this first CD is the Bagha. It’s helping me to concentrate or relax whenever I need to. I had a handball match a few weeks ago. I hurt my arm and wasn’t able to concentrate on the match anymore. So I used the Bagha and a Powerword “Painless”. A few seconds later I was able to concentrate on the match again because I simply forgot the pain. It was like the match took me away from it.

Another important advice was the competition with myself. I had the problem that I was the youngest and the smallest player in the team. So I was frustrated after every training or match with this team. After I listened to your CD I changed my attitude towards my situation. I accepted that the older players were too good for me to compare with them yet. I stopped to think about that. I only compared with myself. So I improved a lot and now, just a couple of weeks later I’m able to compare with most of my team.

In a nutshell, you’ve changed my life.

I’m only 16 and yet through your meditation program and stress relief methods, I am now able to look upon my daily negatives in a new and positive light.

Boring aspects of my life such as college and general blues are now eradicated and are now replaced with a desire to motivate myself to thrive in life and attain my dreams.. so thank you for making this teenager value life!

The music is good and I liked it. I did not get tangled web at first, but ow I get what tangled web means. I liked when hes said bhaga it was nice. That was a good way to get better grades. Both of them they were great I loved everything you said. I liked the music.

I like the word tangle it sounds silly. I really like that sound and the song because it tells you about your problem. I think that song helps people that has problems. I didn’t get bored, no. Shawn is a great singer and great talker. I really remember everything. It really helped me a lot of my problem.

They explain about life well. It taught us things like the bagha method and the “omm” chant to help gain confidence. It tells us good example stories. Provides excellent tips on how to improve in areas such as school and sports.

I liked the bagha because it does help you. The song was good, it rocked. The voice of the singer was awesome.

The way that athletics should think about the way that they should think about challenging themselves not other people is a really great idea.

The song is pretty cool to me. I really like it. He (Shawn) sings very good to me. He (Burt) is a very good story teller. It’s not too long or too short, it is perfect to listen to. I will not get bored because it is very relaxing to listen to it. I did like it was cool. The best part was the song.

What I like is the song because it’s catchy and it pretty much represents our life. I also liked the bagha. I think that the tips about the good grades were pretty good. I think that it was great because it really helped me with my problems.

The messages they give me will help me in life. They explain the trouble I will go through in life. They told me some ways to stay in control. “Ohm” helps you in tests. Making a story really helps to remember something for a test. Also, day dreaming is good if you can control it. I think that if I bought a CD it would really help me.

Great speaker! (Burt). Shawn Walker is a great singer. It solves peoples problems. The guy speaking (Burt) is funny. Love the story to remember the planets in order. I love track 8 that talks about sports and athletes. I would like to get that CD because it will help me.

I like how it actually talks about our feelings. I like the techniques that it tells us to do to relax.

I like how he (Burt) explains his comments. I like how he speaks calmly to the listeners to make them understand.

It’s a very nice song. I like the lyrics, it gives a good message. Mr. Burt tells cool stories, it’s funny. I like Mr. Burt’s planet story. He gives good tips. Mr. Burt knows nice techniques.

I like the fact that they help you with tests and to get better grades.

I like the way he explains different methods to help you with your life. I like the way he gives you examples of other people’s problems to try to relate to you. Great methods. Good lyrics.

He (Shawn) has a nice voice. The thing that Shawn said touched me a lot. The man (Burt) says interesting things that could help us when we grow up. I liked when he said stories about athletics cause I play basketball. I liked when he said use stories to give us ideas.

Shawn could sell the CD and I will buy the CD. I will be hearing the CD always and I will leave the TV to my grandma.

I got some ideas when someone tells me to do the wrong thing to not do it. I will not do it, but if they tell me that if I don’t do it they will not be my friends, I don’t care I will not do it. Cause there will be some consequences.

He sings good. Really to understand how life is like. I liked the words because what he was singing is true. I liked it because it talked about something that happened to me too and it was exactly the same. I think though the advice for tests is really great. Visualizing really helps to remember something.

I like the words of the song and the message that it sends to kids. I also like the song because it makes me understand some things I didn’t know. He (Burt) is funny and explains the message well. I like the planet story because it is helpful.

I like it because it talks about life and uses metaphors to explain how life gets complicated. It tries to help us untangle our webs and see life in a different way. The song is cool and funny.

I like the song and how it helps you with life. I also like that I learned new things.

I liked the CD a lot. I like how he (Burt) describes details and explains the tangled web. The concept of Bagha is very useful and true. I like the story and the concept used for remembering the planet. I enjoyed the song and I like how Shawn compares and understands us kids.

I like it because it matches the song. The singer (Shawn) was there to explain more about his song. I like it because it helps you with life and there is a different track for each problems.

He (Burt) talks about if you have a problem just say “ooooo” and you will feel happy and proud. I like it because it helps with problems.

I really liked the song. It was the best part. The CD was funny and I enjoyed it a lot when he (Burt) went “mmmm.” It was pretty funny.

I like everything about it. I like that he (Burt) tells you information. The song is silly and I really like it. I liked how they explain a tangled web. I think he (Burt) is funny and I like his stories a lot. I think Bagha really works.

I like the song a lot. It was the best part. I like when Shawn was telling us stories about when he was 8 years old. I like the stories about the Bagha he (Burt) was telling. I liked the part when they talk about when somebody wants you to do something wrong or something that you don’t want to do.

It is a really cool song! The singer is happy. The Bagha helps us to not be angry. It works like magic. I like it a lot.

I was listening to the section on Anger — Bully and Bunny, when my 13 year old grandson came in. Despite his young years, his ears went up, and he listened intently. I know it helped him understand how to deal with school bullies.

I have a greater understanding of other people, along with myself, regarding what motivates us all. And I am encouraged again and again to remember: I can do! Another section I like “best” is Sparkling up the Kitchen, a very useful technique I can apply in many ways.

I am retired but have my grandson living with me. Your program has been a blessing. I read all of the lessons I get from you, and along with that, share them with my grandson and use them as valuable lessons to be learned about life. He enjoys reading them, and they have helped him in school as well as life. He has begun to be much more rational in his thought processes.

I have used Burt Goldman’s CD’s in my 6th grade language arts classroom on a few occasions. I use them because at this age (11-12) my students have many personal and social issues that they often can’t work out themselves. The CD’s help them find alternative solutions to their problems than the unsuccessful solutions they have tried. The CD’s give them an understanding of “why” they and others act the way they do, and then give them strategies and exercises they can use to deal with these problems in constructive ways. I will give you two examples of this.

Many students have trouble taking tests because they worry too much about the outcome. Because they are so nervous, they often get lower grades than they are capable of. Through the CD’s, they have learned to picture themselves receiving high marks on their tests (the Bagha). When they are sitting, ready to take their test, they relax and calm down by using relaxation techniques (Ohm and breathing in and out slowly). Because they are able to calm down and focus on doing well, they do much better.

Another example of successful use of the CD’s is when I asked each student in my class to think of a problem they were having in their life (after listening to CD #5). They pictured their problem and then put the problem in a blue balloon and let the problem go up in the sky while doing a relaxation exercise. Many felt their problem lift right off their shoulders and disappear. They knew the problem still existed, but they just didn’t care enough to let it bother them. The others who weren’t as successful as the others in “letting go” of their problems, stated that at least they were more relaxed in how they felt about the problem.

At this age, children are often reluctant to go to an adult to solve their insecurities and problems. Their friends have similar problems and aren’t able to help because they don’t have the maturity or life’s experience. These CD’s allow the kids to listen, relate, and find solutions and strategies for doing better in life. Parents can use the CD’s, also, as a springboard for discussing issues that are important to their pre-teens and teens.
