General
Q: In a nutshell, what is Hemi-SyncŪ?
A: Hemi-SyncŪ is a scientifically based and clinically proven "audio-guidance" technology that uses sound to influence brain wave activity. This patented, and highly sophisticated technology is backed by over 40 years of research. For more details, see the expanded explanation in What is Hemi-SyncŪ?
Q: How does Hemi-SyncŪ work?
A: Hemi-SyncŪ is an audio-guidance process that works through the generation of complex, multilayered audio signals, which act together to create a resonance that is reflected in unique brain wave forms characteristic of specific states of consciousness. The result is a focused, whole-brain state known as hemispheric synchronization, or “Hemi-SyncŪ,” where the left and right hemispheres are working together in a state of coherence. As an analogy, lasers produce focused, coherent light. Hemi-SyncŪ produces a focused, coherent mind, which is an optimal condition for improving human performance
Q: Is Hemi-SyncŪ on all the products?
A: Yes.
Q: Are all titles available in both tape and CD format?
A: No. However, we have a separate listing of everything available on CD
Q: Are the Hemi-SyncŪ frequencies the same on each title?
A: No. The Hemi-SyncŪ process has evolved into a sophisticated multi-layering of Hemi-SyncŪ signals - "designer mixes" of sound frequencies, fashioned to be optimally effective for a given application. Naturally, Hemi-SyncŪ sleep products incorporate predominately delta frequencies; learning products predominately beta and so forth. However these designer mixes are supplemented with special sound frequencies, which enable the desired result. This is the "key" to the effectiveness of Hemi-Sync.
Q: How long are Hemi-SyncŪ tapes and CDs?
A: Most are between 30 and 40 minutes long. Timing varies to accomplish the purpose of each listening experience.
Q: Can someone with hearing loss benefit from Hemi-SyncŪ?
A: Yes. Doctors and individuals with impaired hearing tell us that the frequencies are effectively carried to the brain by the bones in the ear canal.
Q: Is Hemi-SyncŪ like hypnosis?
A: Yes, they are similar. Hypnosis is an induced, altered state of mind, in which the body is deeply relaxed, sufficient to be temporarily ignored, except for demands like bladder fullness, etc. It is sometimes described as "focused concentration." This "state" is one in which the partint has perhaps even more control over the body and self than in "ordinary" states of consciousness. Witness the fact that hypnosis is sometimes used for pain control in minor surgeries, childbirth, and even dentistry. It is an expanded state of awareness, in which one can be fully aware of the sensory data from the environment, (sound, light, temperature, etc.) and at the same time can develop awareness of other data sources as well, such as past lives, out-of-body information, information from guides, one's inner self, etc. Neither state can "make" you DO anything. You are able to maintain your faculties for choice and value systems, including choosing to follow suggestions from the therapist or not. Hemi-SyncŪ is designed to leave control in the hands of the listener as well. In this sense, it's somewhat related to self-hypnosis. Hemi-SyncŪ does not "make" you do anything. It simply creates an effect that helps you move into a certain state, providing that you relax and are open to responding to the Hemi-SyncŪ process.
