LIGHT AND SOUND
TOUCHING
THE INSIDE OF YOUR SOUL...
FROM THE OUTSIDE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To really touch our souls, we must journey deep within ourselves. It's an exciting
trip, full of all sorts of revelations and surprises. It can also be harrowing,
since we must go alone naked, and in silence.
Along the way, friends and lovers are essential. Good books will speak to us. So will quiet |mountains and still lakes. Even loud rock 'n' roll. We will also be made flexible. I And our sense of humor will help guide us.
Since ancient times, men and women have known that dancing flames and rhythmic drumbeats can become a bridge for crossing important chasms that must be traversed if we are to make that entire journey. Today, dancing flames (flashing in precise patterns in sophisticated goggles) and precisely throbbing drumbeats (heard through headphones) can help you cross into places where you may encounter an important stranger-yourself.
Just slip them on, and feel the everyday world dissolve as the mesmerizing colors and sounds move you into another world. It can be an exhilarating journey. You may even encounter that huge, elusive Silence. In any case, when you come back, you'll feel calm and energetic Refreshed. And ready for whatever's next.
What a Light & Sound Machine Can Do for You Relaxation. Stress reduction. Accelerated learning. Creative visualization. Peak mental performance. Deeper and more restorative meditation. .Many people use light and sound machines to help them achieve any (or all) of these objectives. With so many tantalizing possibilities. you may be wondering where to begin.
We suggest that new users begin with the relaxation programs. since relaxation is an excellent gateway to other Light & Sound (L/S) activities. Then use ,your L/S sessions to increase the effectiveness of things you are already doing: Add an exciting new element to ,your meditation, relaxation, or stress-reduction program-or simply learn to achieve desired states in less time. Learn to create a calm, undisturbed space in the midst of daily chaos.
Experiment with the programs that come with your machine, then (if the machine is programmable) tailor them precisely to ,your needs. Here are some types of programs ,you might want for your L/S machine:
Relaxation: Take an energizing break! Once the response is learned. relaxed states can be reached in minutes (or even seconds)! Use to prevent jet lag-before you land.
Sleep: Use when tired, but not ,yet sleepy - or if you wake up and can't get back to sleep
Meditation: Use programs for deep relaxation combined with mental alertness-or deeper and more dreamlike states.
Creativity: Use for brainstorming and problem-solving, or for creative visualization and self- transformation.
Learning: Use with language cassettes and other learning
tapes-or just before or after classes or meetings to improve recall. Check out
the programs for -"twilight" or "sleep" learning.
Entertainment:
See kaleidoscopic patterns of vivid, ever-changing geometrical imagery;
Expanded
Perception: A quiet mind allows for new insights. Learn to let yourself see things
in a different way.
According to Michael Hutchison, "People can learn
to take control of their mental state. People tend to operate under the assumption
that if they feel depressed they have to wait for their anger to be gone. The
fact is that once you learn how, it is very easy to switch out of one brain state
and into a higher or more beneficial one. As more and more people get into these
higher states they will carry them into their lives and the world will be a better
place. The whole point to brain technology is people learning to function in a
high energy, high coherence and high efficiency brain state. We are talking about
a momentous leap forward in human evolution.
Light And Sound experiences
People buy light and sound machines for many reasons some are listed here;-
1/
MEDITATION..
2/ RELAXATION AND STRESS CONTROL..
3/ ACCELERATED LEARNING..
4/ PAIN CONTROL..
5/ HEMISPHERIC BALANCING..
6/ SELF ENHANCEMENT ..
7/ LEARNING DIFFICULTIES..
8/ RELATIONSHIP AND SEXUAL PROBLEMS..
9/ ALTERED
STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS..
1/ MEDITATION
In the 20 plus years
I have been teaching meditation I have noticed both physiologically
And with
the use of EEG systems that the average meditator takes between 15-20 mins
to get into the alpha brain wave state, and theta is nigh near on impossible for
most,
Things like constant circling thoughts and imaginings often leave one
more tired ,stressed and frustrated than when one started, and the odd fleeting
periods of relaxation are usually disturbed by the unexpectedely, trying to quieten
the thoughts with thought is an interesting idea .
With light and sound the
mind can ramble all it likes , the pulses take one down into a very deep alpha/theta
mind state in these states the mind often falls quiet by itself, but what I have
found to be truly amazing is that after a very little time /use in the quietness
the distance between two thoughts
appears to get wider in that distance or
space the mind experiences some amazing altered states of conciousness..
"But
is there any benefit for meditators who have had many years of experience with
heightened states of awareness? Michael answers this question with the following
example. "A psychiatrist came to one of my workshops. He told me that he
had twenty years of experience meditating twice a day and he is very suspicious
of all
This stuff. I put him on one of the machines and afterwards he looked
at me and said "I can't believe it, this is my meditative experience".
Now he uses the technology in his psychiatric practice to help people who have
difficulty getting into meditative states. Many experienced meditators tell me
that they can get into their meditative states faster and at times when their
stress level might normally make it very difficult. It becomes a kind of meditation
booster in that way"
2/STRESS
The long-term effects of stress
on one's health are quite significant. The American Academy of Family Physicians
has said that two-thirds of office visits to family doctors are prompted by stress-related
symptoms. Stress is more than just a nuisance or something that occasionally makes
people feel nervous or anxious. Very stressful events have been associated with
a dramatically increased risk of a heart attack. For instance, in the days following
an earthquake the incidence of heart attacks
increases significantly, presumably
because of the stress of the earthquake.
Chronic, ongoing stress,
even when it is not so dramatic, can affect one's health in very significant ways.
One common example of this is the effect of a very stressful job. Several large
studies have demonstrated that a stressful job more than doubles one's risk of
a heart attack. A stressful job might lead to cigarette
smoking, obesity and
lack of exercise, all of which increase one's risk for a heart attack. It is also
the stress itself that directly leads to an increased risk. Stress has been associated
with the risk of many other diseases, ranging from the common cold to chronic
pain to some types of cancer.
Light and sound machines take the user into
deep alpha and theta mind states, this helps reduce stress
And the harmfull
effects of stress..
99% of our customers report a decrease in their stress
levels….
Using mind Technology for relaxation, stress reduction and boosting
immune function
Among the ways mind technology can be effective in boosting
immune function is by: (1) producing deep and lasting relaxation to reduce stress
and the damaging effects it can have on the body and immune system, and permit
the body's homeostatic, self-regulating powers to maintain the immune system at
optimal strength; (2) altering brain body chemistry to produce optimal levels
of the various components of the immune system and to produce feelings of well-being
and to increase self-confidence; and (3) helping change stressful or immune impairing
behavior patterns and attitudes through eliminating negative scripts and atitudes
and using positive suggestions, visualizations, and rescripting, during deeply
relaxed or trancelike states. What follows are some suggestions for ways you can
use mind tools for these purposes.
http://www.altered-states.co.nz/mpower/para.htm
Some
brain tools can be extremely helpful when used during a medical treatment session
- for enhancing guided imagery; producing states of heightened receptivity to
healing suggestions and affirmation; opening up the unconscious to permit the
emergence of beliefs, traumas, or attitudes that may be harming your health or
immune function. Hundreds of medical professionals and therapists around the world
are using mind tools as an integral part of their treatment of various types of
illness or immune dysfunction.
http://altered-states.net/mind/david.htm
Michael
Dullnig, M.D., of Sacramento, California, for example, has used various dual-induction
and binaural-beat audio tapes in conjunction with his counseling of HIV-positive
patients. In a 1990 study he noted that all patients in the study showed improvement
in psych9ological target symptoms, and some showed significant increases in T4
cell counts, important components of the immune system. William Harris, M.D.,
director of the Penwell Foundation, an organization for the investigation, research,
and application of different modalities for the treatment of those with AIDS/HIV,
has used light/sound (LS) devices with HIV-positive patients and found them extremely
effective. He speculates that the devices may boost immune function by producing
states of deep relaxation, by enhancing the patients' receptivity to suggestions
for healing, by improving their ability to visualize and the clarity of their
visualizations. Says Harris, "I think that this type of machine may actually
be stimulating…. The body to produce its own chemical substances," and
that these natural substances may enhance immune function and healing.

These Mind tools should be effective for people to use in conjunction with treatment, for people who feel that they are not as healthy as they would like to be, and for those who feel healthy enough but would like to protect themselves from the possibly damaging effects of stress and environmental toxins and attain a state of peak or optimal health and well-being.
"Throughout the ages humankind has searched for new means to reach higher levels of consciousness. Most of this exploration has been shrouded in the occult and sought through spiritual or mystical experimentation. With the advent of the technological age science has joined the quest for the Holy Grail of expanded experience. This state of awareness has been sought in all cultures and described in the ancient eastern teachings as Nirvana, the state of bliss."
3/ ACCELERATED LEARNING..
Since many mind tools, such as LS and binaural-beat tapes, permit the user to
select a target brain -wave frequency, the question arises as to what is the best
state, or the "appropriate depth," for learning: the relaxed, receptive
alpha state, or the hypersuggestible, drowsy, dream-like twilight or theta state.
Evidence suggests that alpha is ideal for learning new information, data, facts, material that you want to be fully aware of and have readily available in waking consciousness. On the other hand, theta is the ideal frequency range for the uncritical acceptance of external suggestions, for bypassing defense mechanisms and resistance and presenting important t self-change messages to the deeper parts of the mind. That is, to present messages having to do with attitude or behavior change to the unconscious mind, without the critical screening present in waking consciousness, it is best to get into the theta range. As Dr. Budzynski points out, "the material is being sorted in the brain much the same as verbal information assimilated during anesthetic surgery, i.e., it cannot be recalled, but does influence behavior."
Thus a suggestion for those who have LS and other variable frequency devices and want to find the best program for peak learning: If the material to be learned is informational, a useful program might be to begin by entraining brain waves from a waking EEG (anywhere from 14 to 18 Hz - experiment to find what "feels" right), ramping down slowly to a low alpha frequency (from 8 to 10Hz, again find out what feels right), remaining at this frequency for the duration of the learning tape, and then ramping back to a final relaxed but alert frequency (from 10 to 14 Hz).
Those
wishing to learn material having to do with attitude or behavior change would
begin by entertaining brain waves in beta, ramping down slowly to theta (around
4 to 6 Hz seems most effective), remaining at theta for the duration of the learning
session, and then ramping back up to 10 to 14 Hz. For both types of learning,
the material seems to be better assimilated if the user spends sever minutes after
the learning material has been presented remaining in a relaxed alpha or theta
state before ramping back up to beta, ending the session, and returning to ordinary
consciousness.
In the book "in the palaces of memory " they suggest
5hz as being the optimum learning frequency.
4/ PAIN
Relaxation
for Sedation
In 1988 anesthesiologist Robert Cosgrove Jr., Ph.D., M.D., undertook
preliminary studies of LS. In his initial evaluations, Cosgrove, an authority
in pharmaceutics and biomedical engineering, notes that LS was "clearly very
powerful in its ability to cause deep relaxation in most subjects. Its effectiveness
has been so great that we are very enthusiastic about the prospect of evaluating
the (device) for its sedative properties in patients prior to, during, and immediately
following surgery.
Here in NZ a customer when on a popular news program and
stated that his light and sound machine was helping to keep the pain from his
liver cancer at a tolerable level…
Deep relaxation can help people in
pain…
5/ HEMISPHERIC BALANCING..
BINAURAL BEATS.
It
has been noted that if one were to strike two tuning forks of slightly different
tone
pitch at the same time, one would find that there were three distinct
tones rather than
two. The third tone is the difference in frequency of the
two tones. For example, if
one fork resonated at a frequency of 202Hz,(cycles
per second) and the other
resonated at a frequency of 200Hz the resulting
third tone would be the difference of
the original tone, and would modulate
at 2Hz. These modulations are know as beats.
A PHENOMENA was discovered
by Dr. Gerald Oster in 1973, at the Mount Sinai school
of Medicine in New
York. Dr. Oster had been investigating the effects of sound waves
on the brain.
He discovered that when he introduced, through headphones, two different tones
separately to each ear that the brain would resonate at a frequency that was the
difference of the two tones, ie. 400Hz introduced to the left ear and 406Hz introduced
to the right ear would result in the a solid EEG (electroencephalagram) reading
of 6Hz. He dubbed this phenomena binaural beats.
Before the binaural
beat phenomena was discovered, there was no way to entrain or
synchronize
brain waves. Studies of brain waves were limited to the mental state of
the
test subject, and the waves that were produced as a result of that state rather
than what states could be produced as a result of altering brain wave frequencies.

6/ SELF ENHANCEMENT
..
Do you have a pile of self improvement tapes thrown in a drawer or box
under the bed, You know, like stop smoking, loose weight , stress relief or become
a new person, do you feel like you have "been there, done that "and
it didn't work.
Play theses same tapes through a light and sound machine ,
(doesn't have to be the top of the line unit, an inexpensive Muse Sharp will do
the job), and see what listening in a relaxed theta state does to your self improvement
program.
7/
LEARNING DIFFICULTIES..
"Brain tools can be enormously effective n overcoming
learning disorders. Perhaps the most important discovery has been that ADDH and
other learning disorders are linked to underarousal, or abnormally slow brain-wave
activity (theta and delta) and insufficient beta activity in the sensorimotor
rhythm range and above (13-20 Hz).
Learning disabilities also have a stress
component - clearly those who have lea5rning disabilities experience stress as
a result of their own learning and behavioral difficulties, and stress can also
increase learning disabilities.
Learning disabilities are also linked to problems
of behavior, negative self-image, and low self-esteem. Thus I suggest techniques
for using brain tools to help change problematic behavior patterns and attitudes
through eliminating negative scripts and attitudes, and using positive suggestions,
visualizations, and rescripting during deeply relaxed or trancelike states."
Michael Hutchison, Mega Brain Power, p. 367
8/ RELATIONSHIP AND SEXUAL
PROBLEMS..
According to Michael Hutchison "In addition to the physiological
benefits many people report personal transformations. Some well-known musicians
such as Pete Townsend, Eric Clapton and Keith Richards were treated with electrical
stimulation of the brain for drug addiction. They as well as others report that
not only were they able to get off drugs but they experienced a transformation.
They no longer had addictive personalities."
Michael Hutchinson tells
of a woman who, as a child, lost her mother in a car accident. "She realized
that she had been blaming her mother for many of her current problems. She was
under psychiatric treatment and taking antidepressant medication for severe depression.
She couldn't hold down a job… she was a total mess. After a couple minutes
on a light and sound device, I noticed there were tears falling down her face.
Afterward she said she had met her mother during the session and was able to create
a reconciliation. They expressed their love for one another and her mother told
her she wanted her to succeed and be happy. Later I found
that she stopped
taking the medication, go a job, lost twenty pounds and got married. She went
through a life transformation from something that started as twenty-five minutes
on the machine.
http://altered-states.net/mind/david.htm
I'm not
saying she actually went and met the spirit of her mother but something very important
obviously happened to her. She was clearly ready for it. And something else might
have produced the same effect. But the fact is that the machine acted as a catalyst."
IMPOTENCE AND SEXUAL PROBLEMS
There is intriguing evidence that mind technology
can literally turn up your energy, by stimulating
Increased levels of sex
hormones, other studies by Dr C Norman Shealy and associates suggest that not
only L/S units , and color stimulation, but also cranial electrostimulation (CES)
can boost
Secretion of a number of these sex hormones
And we all no that
a stressed body is not conducive to a happy sex life..
9/ ALTERED
STATES
Altered states of consciousness may be produced by changes in brainwave
cycles. "When you decelerate frequencies in brainwaves going from beta to
delta the amplitude increases. Maximum impact on the human body is when the brainwaves
are in delta. This is when whole brain functions take place. Neurochemical secretions
of endorphins and opiates produce sensations of bliss and access to the multidimensional
levels of human experience.
