Hemi-Sync® FAQ's -
Series
Q: What's the difference between
Human Plus®, Mind Food® and Metamusic®?
A: Human Plus recordings teach you how to activate the
benefit of a particular selection whenever you wish without listening at the
particular moment when you desire the intended effect. For example, the Human
Plus Attention exercise teaches you how to move into a highly focused state when
not listening to the Attention exercise. Most Mind Food titles provide the
experience/benefit while you are listening. For example, the Mind Food title,
Concentration, helps your brain move into a highly focused state of
concentration while listening. Metamusic® selections contain music
and Hemi-Sync® with no verbal guidance.
Q: What tape/CD will enable me to
have an out-of-body experience?
A: An OBE cannot be guaranteed. Your ability to
experience an OBE depends on many factors unique to every individual, like
personal beliefs, possible fear barriers, etc. If you are interested in an OBE,
we recommend the Gateway Experience. You may or may not experience an OBE.
However, the Gateway Experience is designed to gently lead you into profound
states of expanded awareness and contribute to the development of your human
potential on many levels.
The Listening
Experience
Q: What if I fall asleep while
listening?
A: That's fine. The
benefits of Hemi-Sync® are achieved with or without your conscious
awareness. Many Hemi-Sync® exercises help you achieve a hypnogogic
state, that borderline state between deep relaxation and sleep so it's possible
you may drift into sleep. If you want to familiarize yourself with the verbal
content of an exercise, listen once, without headphones, while seated in a
chair.
Q: I hear a hissing noise on some
tapes. Is that a defect ? Should I use the Dolby® function on my
stereo?
A: No to both
questions. What you are hearing is "pink noise" (sometimes described as a
swishing sound). It is a combination of all the frequencies the human ear can
perceive, with higher and lower frequencies adjusted to be equal in volume. Pink
noise enhances the perception of the Hemi-Sync® sound patterns, and
therefore plays a valuable role on certain Hemi-Sync® products.
Dolby® nosie reduction attempts to filter out the pink noise. Therefore, it is
important not to use Dolby®, or other noise reduction systems, when listening to
Hemi-Sync® audio products on tape.
Q: Am I supposed to "see" things
when I listen to Hemi-Sync®?
A: "Supposed to" really doesn't apply. There are many
ways of perceiving; visualizing is only one of them. Many people experience a
physical response to Hemi-Sync® and become aware of different body
sensations; other people have sensations of hearing or tasting, or simply
"knowing." Enjoy your experience, whatever it is.
Q: How do I know if I'm getting
the intended effect?
A:
Everyone is unique. Your Hemi-Sync® experience may differ from the
experience of others. In fact, your experience may be different each time you
listen to a particular exercise. Just relax and trust that your experience is
right for you at the time.
Q: Is Hemi-Sync®
beneficial for experienced meditators?
A: Yes. Many long-term meditators report that
Hemi-Sync® helps them move more quickly and reliably into a
meditative state. Experienced meditators also report that they seem to "go
deeper," and sustain the meditative state longer when using Hemi-Sync.
Q: What if I don't feel awake and
alert after listening to Hemi-Sync®?
A: Certain Hemi-Sync® products are designed
to leave you in a sleep state. However, if a non-sleep recording leaves you
feeling a little "spacey", here are some grounding techniques to try: slowly
count down from 10 to 1; drink cold water; splash cool water on your face and
neck; run cold water on your wrists; weather permitting, walk barefoot outdoors
while you breathe deeply.
Q: How many times should I listen
to an exercise to get the effect or benefit?
A: Generally, you will feel the influence of
Hemi-Sync® the first time you listen. However, some products are
designed as a training series. These products typically work best when you
listen multiple times to reinforce and anchor the intended benefit. All Human
Plus selections and the Gateway Experience series fall into this category.
