grounds in the use of sound, positive imagery, and self- healing to help them cope with this frightening disease. A short time later, we discovered information about the H-PLUS tapes and included several of them in our work. Regenerate, Lungs: Repair and Maintenance, and Off- Loading were best received. In fact, within two weeks of learning to use Regenerate, two people reported a doubling of their T-cell counts. Several years later, based on the research conducted by Jim Greene in cooperation with Georgetown University, we extended our help to a larger AIDS circle by offering the Positive Immunity Program in California. The PIP is a weekend-long intensive course that incorporates tapes from the GATEWAY EXPERIENCE, Waves I and IJ, as well as an introduction to the H-PLUS tapes. It has been two years since that decision, and we would like to share some of what we have been privileged to witness on this path of birth, transformation, and death. Birth Is the First Step AIDS survivors report that living with this disease is like being reborn into a new world—one with its own language, treatments, schedules, support systems, and opportunities. Initially, it can be a very intimidating experience and how well someone copes depends on his or her attitude. It is not news that attitude is a key factor in healing. We have observed this to be paramount in working with AIDS sur- vivors. Those who resist “rebirth” with anger or fear weaken faster and have an average survival rate of eighteen months after diagnosis. Those who embrace “rebirth” with an atti- tude of hope seek alternative treatments, use the Monroe tapes more regularly, and have a longer survival rate. For example, of eight individuals participating in a recent PIP weekend, six reported that they had never used convention- al drug therapies such as AZT and DDI. Using positive atti- tude, nutrition, exercise, and support systems, such as the Hemi-Sync tapes, these six asymptomatic individuals are classified as long-term survivors; one of them was diag- nosed over eleven years ago! Those who embrace “rebirth” with an attitude of hope seek alternative treatments, use the Monroe tapes more regularly, and have a longer survival rate. Transformation and Hemi-Sync People who have a positive attitude about their survival enter the PIP weekend workshop ready for healing and transformation, and it provides opportunities for change to occur on all levels. During the two days, participants are guided through the following GATEWAY EXPERIENCE tapes: Orientation—Focus 3, Introduction—-Focus 10, Advanced-Focus 10, Free Flow-Focus 10, Introduction-Focus 12, Energy Bar Tool, Color Breathing, Living Body Map, and Free Flow 12. A guided-imagery exercise on the immune system concludes the program. Participants are encouraged to use Release and Recharge, Exploration Sleep, Problem Solving, and One Month Patterning inde- pendently over the next few weeks and to record their indi- vidual insights. Transformative changes begin early in the workshop. Working with Focus 10 the first morning of the program, people may experience a physical cleansing and display such symptoms as aching and cramping muscles, headaches, nausea, and back pain. Massage therapists and iii --- PAGE 4 (OCR) --- HEMI-SYNC™ JOURNAL energy workers are available to facilitate the cleansing of toxins from the body. Participants are also encouraged to consume plenty of water throughout the weekend to aid in this process. As the group moves into the Focus 12 tapes, emotional and mental shifts begin. These shifts become integrated when, at the end of the first day, The Living ...powerful changes occur and are evidenced by dramatic differences in complexion, muscular relaxation, and actual reduction in AIDS symptoms. Body Map is used as a tool to unify the physical, emotional, and mental states. On the second day, for some individuals, the experience moves to a spiritual transformation when Free Flow 12 and a guided-imagery exercise on the immune system are combined. Anyone who has worked with the Monroe Hemi-Sync tapes knows that levels of transformation are highly person- al. However, powerful changes occur and are evidenced by dramatic differences in complexion, muscular relaxation, and actual reduction in AIDS symptoms. One participant suffered from Karposi’s sarcoma lesions that had moved into his sinuses. He had received radiation therapy, causing the tissue around his eyes to swell severely and turn dark purple. By the workshop’s end; this swelling was visibly reduced and the discoloration had shifted to pink. He exclaimed, “I can almost recognize myself when I look in the mirror!” Such comments as “I have never felt so relaxed,” “I haven’t had this much energy in months,” and “I am leav- ing with tools that I can really use on my own-wow!” are characteristic late in the second day. Our journey does not end, however, when these individuals walk out the door. We continue as a part of their support system by monitoring and mentoring the use of the tapes and introducing partici- pants to the H-PLUS tapes found to be the most beneficial by former participants. These include: Regenerate, Circulation, Reset, Restorative Sleep, Tune-Up, Lungs: Repair and Maintenance, Off-Loading, and Let Go. MIND FOOD Energy Walk has also been popular. Of course the METAMUSIC ARTIST SERIES selections are favorites, par- ticularly Sleeping Through the Rain, Inner Journey, Cloudscapes, Transformation, and Prisms. H-PLUS Immuznizing is considered inappropriate since the Function Command, Plus-Alert, Destroy, does not bolster an immune system faced with an auto-immune disease. In addition to tape education, support group meetings provide access to and experiences in additional alternative methods, such as oxygenation therapy, rebirthing, and meditation. Closing the Circle We've also walked to the end of the circle with individu- als facing the final portion of the cycle of life. Sitting by hospital beds or counseling grieving family and friends, the Monroe tapes are an integral part of the process. For exam- ple, many people choose to have METAMUSIC playing by the bed of a dying loved one or use it themselves as a cop- ing tool. Following the recent death of a friend and former PIP participant, the family purchased ten tapes for their own use. After the funeral of another participant, friends divided his tape collection among other AIDS survivors. At moments like these, we realize the importance of “walking the circle” with someone as he moves through transforma- tions and finally finishes where he began—closing the cir- cle and moving through death into whatever rebirth awaits. The experiences of the last two years have proved the value of incorporating Hemi-Sync on this path, It is a cop- ing tool for those struggling with this new way of living; it opens doors to greater human transformations; and it can be used to help create a harmonious release from a body stricken with AIDS. It certainly gives all the “peace- ful warriors” facing life with AIDS a most vital tool for their journey. ‘THE MONROE INSTITUTE BOARD OF ADVISORS James Beal Wilson Bullard, PhD Thomas Campbell, MS Gregory D.
