Audible narration and optimized acoustics (with binaural beats, I believe) are utilized. It is VERY effective, and it works. The beauty of Pzizz is its dynamically-generated randomized mix of narrative, music, and audio effects which are unique in each instance of use. This prevents you from getting accustomed to the extent that it becomes predictable and ineffective, which is the problem with most pre-recorded programs. Thus, Pzizz is a real game-changer in this product category. For the price, it simply can't be beat. There are NO subliminal messages in pzizz.

They'd advertise it as a feature if there was - in my opinion. Plus, all the evidence I've read about audio subliminal messages say they don't work. So even if they had a "buy 100 copies of Pzizz" or "cluck like a chicken" message hidden in there, it's highly doubtful you'd follow through. You turn off the voice narration by lowering the voice narration volume to zero. Well, there is no way for me to verify 100% there is no subliminal messages – I just don’t think there are any there.

OR because you know for a fact it's not in there -- e.g., does Pzizz make a point of guaranteeing its users in writing that they do not use any such programming? And (2) how does one "turn off... the occasional narration" without turning off the soothing sounds that enable one to nap &/or sleep? I'm asking this latter Q. simply b/c I haven't seen the entire Pzizz set-up yet, & so I can't figure out how one would shut off the 1 without also eliminating the other. Thank you, Brad, for your helpful answers!

There is an occasional narration telling you to relax, etc. You can turn that off if you want. There are not any subliminal messages.

I'm keenly interested in trying Pzizz, but I'm one of the many, MANY potential Pzizz clients who first need some specific answers which -- so far -- we can't find anywhere: yet we need to know them before even trying out the Pzizz online offer of "free" samples! To wit: when one listens to any of the Pzizz-generated sounds (I put it that way simply for want of a better term), do these Pzizz "sounds" employ subliminal-level suggestion(s) of ANY kind [e.g., whether via spoken word(s); musical pattern(s); sung word(s) or song(s); et cetera] in order to enable the listener to achieve the advertised nap &/or sleep? If anyone out there can answer this -- even partially, or theoretically! -- I'd really appreciate your feedback ASAP. Thanks very much! Thanks for this Pzizz info.

The hardware version was actually very well-designed and first class in every respect, and totally worth the price given the uniqueness of the technology. At under $3, the new itunes store version is an absolute bargain.

Anything to help a person get better naps is always an improvement. I wonder if it could also be used for meditation sessions. If I had an iPod or iPhone, I would definately be checking this out.
