What is Hemi-Sync®?
The Monroe
Institute, founded by Robert A. Monroe, is internationally known for its work
with audio sound patterns that can have dramatic effects on states of
consciousness. Monroe observed, during his early research, that certain sounds
create a Frequency Following Response in the electrical activity of the brain.
Those observations
led to some remarkable findings dealing with the very nature of human
consciousness. Researchers learned specific sounds could be blended and
sequenced to gently lead the brain to various states ranging from deep
relaxation or sleep to expanded states of awareness and other "extraordinary"
states. This compelling research became the foundation of a noninvasive and
easy-to-use "audio-guidance" technology known as "Hemi-Sync."
The audio-guidance
process works quite simply by sending different sounds (tones) to each ear by
stereo headphones. The two hemispheres of the brain then act in unison to
"hear" a third signal-the difference between the two tones. This is not an
actual sound, but an electrical signal that can only be perceived within the
brain by both brain hemispheres working together. The result is a focused,
whole-brain state known as hemispheric synchronization, or "Hemi-Sync"-an
optimal condition for improving human performance.
Specific
combinations of Hemi-Sync signals, for example, can help individuals achieve
laserlike focus and concentration. Different Hemi-Sync signals are used to
facilitate profound relaxation, expanded awareness or other desired states.
Depending on the intended goals, music, verbal guidance or subtle sound
effects are combined with Hemi-Sync to strengthen its effectiveness. Users
remain in total control as these recordings do not contain subliminal
messages.
Hemispheric
synchronization does occur naturally in daily life but typically only for
random, brief periods of time. Hemi-Sync can assist individuals in achieving
and sustaining this highly productive, coherent, brain-wave state.
Robert Monroe's
work inspired an entire industry of mind/brain products. After decades of
research, and thousands of lab sessions, the extraordinary Hemi-Sync process
remains unparalleled in its ability to assist us in harnessing our human
potential. There are now scores of CDs incorporating Hemi-Sync for a wide
variety of applications.

Theta Brainwaves
With Hemi-Sync
These topographic
brainwave maps illustrate the state-changing potential of the Hemi-Sync
process.
Hemi-Sync helps
you safely alter your brainwaves with multi-layered patterns of sound
frequencies. When you hear these through stereo headphones or speakers, your
brain responds by producing a third sound (called a binaural beat) that
encourages the desired brainwave activity.
_______________________________________________________
This is how binaural
beating works:
A sound played in
the left ear is heard as a single tone.
A sound played in
the right ear is also heard as a single tone.
When played
together the vibrato perceived is called binaural beating.

What Hemi-Sync® can do for you
Hemi-Sync can
help you experience enhanced mental, physical, and emotional states, by
combining verbal guidance, music, pink sound and/or other audio effects with
the binaural beats. The particular elements for each recording are carefully
selected and integrated with the appropriate Hemi-Sync sound frequencies to
enhance the desired effect.

Metamusic®
Titles
Metamusic® is
more than music. From soul-stirring New Age to the timeless popularity of
classical, Metamusic combines delightful musical selections with renowned
Hemi-Sync® sound technologies to entertain and benefit the listener. Many
titles feature special blends of Alpha, Delta, and Theta frequencies to slow
excess mental activity in order to facilitate meditation or support
relaxation. Other selections feature a predominance of Beta frequencies for
focus and concentration or Delta frequencies for sleep enhancement.
Metamusic is experiential and may be used to facilitate a given application
or simply for musical enjoyment. Use Metamusic to enhance focus and
concentration; for expanding awareness through musical imagery; for deeper,
more profound relaxation; or simply for musical enjoyment (but NOT while
driving or using heavy machinery). The applications are unlimited.
Musical Hemi-Sync
CDs can be used in two ways: you can simply relax, listen, and enjoy the
experiences that unfold or you can play the CD as a soothing background
while carrying out another activity (but NOT while driving or using heavy
machinery). Either way, be prepared for an experiential treat.
