The Hemi Sync Experience

The kids' school table sits between two speakers. Hemi sync is designed to be listened to in stereo, so the table is perfectly located. I put in the CD that is supposed to help with focus and concentration while the kids did some math and handwriting. It took them just as long to do their work as it usually does. Josie also thought the music was distracting and put on the ear protection. I left the room to check my email, and came back to find Jake looking down at his math.

"Mama? You know what's the saddest thing in the whole world? Losing those that you love." Then he started doing that thing where your chin quivers and you're trying not to cry. "I miss Max and Petey."

"Me too." I said. "I guess you're kind of having a delayed reaction, aren't you."

"Yeah. That music makes me sad."

"Well, I'll go turn it off."

When I went down to turn it off, I looked at the title of the CD. Of course I had forgotten, but it's title is Remembrance. I wonder.

Ordered Hemi Sync

Okay, y'all. I ordered the Hemi Sync set today. It's a three CD set. Sleeping Through the Rain (for sleep, duh), Masterworks (for focus and concentration), Remembrance (for relaxation).

The Hemi Sync information that got my attention at first was the group studies done at the Monroe Institute on the effects of auditory signals on altered consciousness. Unfortunately those CDs don't seem as readily available, although my yoga friend might have one. You must be pretty relaxed to do those auditory experiments. I don't know deep breathing, or focused meditation. I do know heavy drinking though.

Maybe after a few glasses of Ravenswood I would be able to achieve an altered state of consciousness. I just might not be aware of it. That could be a problem. I could probably do that without the CD's.

For my ADHD friends: this particular set of CDs is geared towards people on the autistic spectrum and those with ADHD.

(Ravenswood is geared towards alcoholics.)

Hemi Sync and Autism

This technology has been used with kids with developmental disorders. I am definitely using it.

Here's the research so far.

Here is a place where the CD's can be purchased.

Hemi Sync

I saw a program about near death experiences, and they discussed Hemi Sync. It's a system developed by the Monroe Institute using sound waves to wake up areas of the brain that we wouldn't normally tap into. Some people use it as a form of self-hypnosis to help them with pain, addiction etc. I want to try it out for kicks. I think it is possible for me to download it. Once I start using it, I will put it into my schedule and tell you how it affected me.
