2015 Professional Seminar: Update on Hemi-Sync® (A. J. Honeycutt)

2015 Professional Seminar: Update on Hemi-Sync® (A.J. Honeycutt) (Transcript) NOTE: This is an unedited transcript – it is exactly as created by otter.ai. 00:10 Well, welcome to the tech talk this afternoon. Obviously, this is the Hemi sync portion as Fred mentioned, I wanted to talk about our various projects and endeavors since last year. So let's begin from recapping from last year's notes. If you remember we discussed a medical researcher Lieutenant Colonel Melissa GaNS efforts associated with the Army's department of research programs and clinical investigations at felt Fort Belvoir hospital, I understand that the proceeding is proceeding well and that there is no shortage of people. They want to participate in the study. And it's it's really quite good. The abbreviated title is the sound mind warrior study. But officially, it's called the binaural beat technology a complementary paths to post deployment wellness. A brief study of the study sounds like this. The purpose of this prospective, double blind, repeated measures study is to assess the efficacy of binaural beat technology on anxiety and anxiety related cardiovascular measures, as well as to assess the feasibility of implementing a binaural beat technology intervention in a military population during the high risk post deployment window. That's a mouthful. So in essence, what they're talking about as being able to look at the service members who are coming back from deployment and wanting to see if there are methods of binaural beat technologies, which will help ameliorate the stress that they've gone under. So what we have in this case are 74 service members who have deployed and they are placed into two groups listening to dreamland, one has got the Hemi sync in it, and one does not. For those of you who are not familiar with Dreamland, it's a men of music artist selection. It was created by Laura nashman and Michael Mann. And this is the selection that was playing while we were getting seated. 02:29 Each group will listen to their respective sound files for 30 minutes at bedtime, three times a week for four weeks. The study looks at both quantitative and qualitative measures to include cardiovascular reactivity, blood pressures, C reactive protein and daily logs from participants. We should be seeing some results from these studies this summer. So stay tuned, we're actually quite excited to see what this measure of research is involved in and what kind of what kind of results that we get from it. If you're interested in actually seeing the the link for the trial in and of itself, it's that clinical.trials.gov And I've got an ID number for it for anybody who's interested. Jim, I spoke with you briefly about the state trait Anxiety Inventory. And it would be interesting to sort of talk a little bit more about that with you at some point. But this is actually another study in which they can take a look at the the amount of stress people experience going in before the actual research components and what it's like afterwards. In light of putting the study together and its progression, Lieutenant Colonel again has also displayed an interest in doing another study. But this time she wants to work with super sleep. Currently, she is writing a grant that will research the effect of the technology on sleep and melatonin levels. As you can imagine, we are excited by this and we have another super sleep prototype to share with you today. This is a result of us spending a lot of time looking at the nature of what we could do at a particular time back when the original super sleek was made the conclusions that we've come to after many years later and also exercising the technology that we have to bear for that. So this is the first sample of the original Super slave 04:45 I'm thinking everybody's pretty familiar with my correct Pink Noise Delta what else is in there? Cricket chair squeaks ashtray moving It's a it's been an oldie but goodie. And it's been that way for a long time, it was released in 1989, just to give you an idea of of when that came OUT out onto the market. But with technology and a few ideas, we began to reengineer some of the sleep and relaxation titles with added lower and more Earth connected sound frequencies. Through our Illumina tested testing, we have found these efforts to be quite powerful. Here's a clip from the Probert prototype, super sleep to. 05:54 As we're listening to this, I'm thinking in terms of what we're listening to seems to be relatively subtle. If you listen to this on a pair of headphones, it is, it is a profound, profound differences in it. I think it's really quite interesting. And we've been spending quite a time regarding this. And upon Lieutenant Colonel GaNS interest and actually using super sleep, it was a synchronous move moment for us, because it was sort of like we've already been starting to work on this and a place that she's interested in it, perhaps we should consider providing this file for them to study as opposed to the old one, because we feel like that this one's got extra punch in it, as a result of of our experience and the equipment that we can use now. That might be available. No. But I will be willing to send you a sound file so that you can listen to it and tell me what you think about it. You know, for those who of you all who are our veterans in terms of the Hemi sync world, it's very important for us to be able to, to gather that information from you. Good, bad, or indifferent in terms of that, because I think that at this point of the ballgame, you have a sense of what you resonate with, and what's true for you and what works and what doesn't. So when I talk about our listeners listening to things, it is a small unit of people who are familiar with it and have a sense of it. And so that is sort of like the primary alpha testing, if you will, towards getting it into a workable forum to where we send it out into a secondary tier, if you will, of review. So this is the file that we were considering for that ongoing research. And we do believe it's an improved version of what we know today. And we want to provide the best of what we have to offer for these endeavors. So we'll see how it goes and report back on that. It remains to be seen, she's got to put the grant together. And then we all know that the bureaucratic wheels roll pretty slowly. And so as far as the clinical trials that we're involved in right now, I mean, that actually started a few years ago. And so we're now coming to the place of realization to see what the information provides for us. And, you know, hopefully it's a it's an information in such a way that we can improve from what we're doing. In other news, we have completed some good projects this last year to include both meditations, meta music titles and new meta music atmospheres titles. This is a subgroup of ambient audio environments where the emphasis is on the technology and one's ability to self direct their own intentions. Here's a brief montage of our efforts since we last met being your full attention to the stillness of your body resti into that stillness 09:24 in this exercise, you will be guided to experience a meditative state of infinite stillness. 09:45 Let us begin by directing your attention to your breathing 10:11 Every year too, we try to supplement a few of our foreign language titles. from last year's list we created Scott Taylor's. Hey Scott, Good job buddy. Scott Taylor's into the light which has been a very popular popular series and we've done that in Japanese language and Spanish. And we also did stream Haven and Japanese as well. Here are a few examples of those files 10:39 Readex cinco que somasole Korekara tavini DECA Caymus Kanata Viva Colima Danny Nambia Kuma no 10:48 Thomasina K can stick master 10:58 doesn't want a guy that's suitable never in monogamous starts in one I got it. Oh yeah my God I'm lucky Did you annoyed or get screwed over? But I never see 11:20 and yes, we are creating other titles as we can get to them is specific to foreign languages. Currently working on German, Spanish and Japanese versions of particular works. As far as that montage was concerned did everybody recognize Lee stone TMI trainer. Yeah, Lee's done a lot of good work for us. Byron Metcalf you also might be familiar with Brian he did the the shamans heart to which is a wonderful metal music artists piece as far as pretty as far as as far as that goes as well. So we've been able to produce some really nice music this year along with some guided meditations and really quite happy about that. I can tell you that part of the quality of all these things and the nature of how they're put together as a result of Kevin Collins efforts in this and Kevin's in the back of the room. He does a lot of the audio engineering for us and he does quite a good job doing it. So thank you, Kevin for your efforts. 12:28 Moving on to the spring, we have some other interesting projects that we have finished. One amount of music atmospheres piece was created by John Siri and Kevin called celestial meditation. It's received good reviews from our primary listeners and here's an audio sample it's it's almost two minutes long so it'll give you an opportunity to relax and breathe into it. 14:27 Just a short sliver. But what do you guys think about that? It sounds it sounds it actually sounds really great and other environments as well. More and more people are looking for these kinds of environments where they can do their own thing. And we believe believe that this provides a great vehicle for those pursuits. And sometimes guided meditations are fine. But other times you just want to wander around at your own pace and intention and these meta music atmospheres are perfect for that. And as I said celestial meditation is the title Another projects we're proud of this year is Will William bule mins destination higher self we are regaled by Ville What was that last night seems like 24 hours ago. In the design of these exercises, as you already may know through that talk is to effectively allow you to create focused intentions for your own continuous continuing spiritual journey, or assist with another one's loved ones efforts. Bills, meditations and affirmations, joined with the music in Hemi sync technology provide a wonderful avenue for these endeavors. This is a sample from doorways to your higher self. 15:47 Now, use the unlimited power of your mind. And imagine, feel, or sense that a glowing doorway of light appears before you. Take a moment and know that this special door is just for you. 16:20 Each door, you move through opens the pathway, the portal to your spiritual essence, your higher sun 16:43 you begin to perceive the door. 16:56 And you clearly can see that there is a personal message carved into the door for you. 17:10 Sounds pretty cool too, doesn't it? This is a two, I'm sorry. That is called Doorways to your higher self. It is almost available 17:30 think it's a two CD set. And it comes with a small manual to help you with the process. And as I said, one can use it in the service of others. And so I responded to that when Bill was talking about the Edo in terms of living wills. It's a you know, it's sort of an extension of that in terms of creating an articulate method for conscious transition, if you will, and to also be able to provide that for others within your tribe, if you will, for those that will benefit from it. Hopefully, these new titles have whetted your appetite, you will have the listener you'll have the opportunity to listen to them in full during the tape day. And so as far as the Hemi sync portion of the tape day is concerned, we're going to trip the light fantastic with the celestial meditation. And then
