Hemi-Sync

The audio-guidance process works through the generation of complex, multilayered audio signals. Robert A. Monroe, a radio pioneer and founder of Hemi-Sync®, was internationally known for his 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 FFR (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. This compelling research became the foundation of a noninvasive and easy-to-use audio-guidance technology known as Hemi-Sync®.

Using a Neuromapper, we can “see” hemispheric synchronization occur. Compare the incoherent brain wave pattern (left) with the highly coherent brain wave pattern of the same subject listening to Hemi-Sync® through stereo headphones (right).

Hemi-Sync® helps you safely alter your brain waves 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 brain wave activity.

A sound played in the left ear is heard as a single tone. A slightly different sound played in the right ear, is also heard as a single tone. When played together the vibrato perceived is called binaural beating.

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

The brain controls all body activities, ranging from heart rate and breathing to emotion, learning, and memory. It is even thought to influence the immune system’s response to disease. It sets humans apart from all other species by allowing us to achieve scientific breakthroughs, composing masterpieces of literature, art, and music. The brain is what makes us human. The extent of the brain’s capabilities is unknown; it is the most complex living structure known in the universe.

The brain is divided into two hemispheres — left and right. The left hemisphere is linked with verbal skills, rational, logical, and analytical thinking.

The right hemisphere is linked with visual/spatial skills, emotion, musical aptitude, intuition, and imaginative thought.

There is a reason why we have two hemispheres: they are both necessary and complementary, and they function best when they are functioning together. The brain is an electrochemical organ; researchers have speculated that a fully functioning brain can generate as much as 10 watts of electrical power. Even though this electrical power is very limited, it does occur in very specific ways that are characteristic of the human brain. Electrical activity emanating from the brain is displayed in the form of brain waves.

Our brains are always generating Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta beats at the same time. When we say a person is in a Beta, Alpha, Theta or Delta state, it only means that is the strongest signal being detected at that time.

Beta brain waves
are the fastest frequencies ranging from 14 cycles per second up to 38 cycles per second. Beta is your normal thinking state, your active external awareness and thought process. Without Beta you would not be able to function in the outside world.

Alpha brain waves
are the brain waves of relaxed detached awareness, visualization, sensory imagery and light reverie. Ranging between about 9 cycles per second and 14 cycles per second, Alpha is the gateway to meditation and provides a bridge between the conscious and the subconscious mind.

Theta brain waves
are the subconscious mind. Ranging from about 4 cycles per second up to 8 cycles per second, Theta is present in dreaming sleep and provides the experience of deep meditation when you meditate. Theta also contains the storehouse of creative inspiration and is where you often have your spiritual connection. Theta provides the “peak” in the peak experience. Therefore Theta is the most important access to your guides for our channeling sessions.

Delta brain waves
are the unconscious mind, the deep sleep state, ranging from about 4 cycles per second down to 0.5 cycles per second. When present in combination with other waves in a waking state, Delta acts as a form of radar – seeking out information – reaching out to understand on the deepest unconscious level things that we can’t understand through the thought process. Delta provides intuition, empathetic attunement, and instinctual insight. It is also the brain wave most often associated with energy healing. For our channeling sessions Delta waves are important for any kind of healing needed.
