I tried several different tapes at the beginning of my search but I didn't care for the voices, imagery or style of several hypnotists. However, Barrie Konicov worked for me. I bought his first tape, "Subliminal Self-Healing" and used it exclusively for a couple of months. It doesn't focus specifically on the stomach but it did the trick for me! Next, I purchased his tape called "Subliminal Stomach Problems." The two tapes are much the same in terms of imagery and suggestions but the Stomach Problems tape focuses more on the stomach and the stress we put there. Lastly, I bought "Subliminal Relieve Stress and Anxiety" which is a tape directed towards how to relax and get rid of anxiety rather than heal part of your body. I bought it really out of curiousity and for something new to listen to but, with the other two tapes, I didn't really need it.
Each tape has a subliminal message side (you hear waves or music but the talking is below the conscious level) and a talking side. I don't think the subliminal side works so I recommend you skip it. It's completely normal to drift off to sleep listening to the talking side and that's OK because your subconscious mind will hear the suggestions.
Of the three tapes, I'd try the "Self-Healing" or the "Stomach Problems" first because you want to get rid of the GERD symptoms ASAP.
You can buy the tapes from Amazon but you won't find them in a bookstore. Barrie Konicov's company is called Potentials Unlimited. He also has a website but he charges more than Amazon.
If you find that during the tape your body is betraying you by interrupting your relaxed state with GERD symptoms, just continue with the tape and ignore the symptoms as much as possible. I was surprised to find that my body didn't want me to get rid of the symptoms. A book I read says that we develop emotional/physical patterns so that changing them takes time. It took about 2 weeks for me to get through a tape without my body rebelling in some fashion for even a few seconds.
Good luck!
