poignant, “living” insights into how Hemi-Sync acts in support of physical, emotional, and mental healing for long- and short- term survivors of AIDS. This dynamic session included a guided Hemi-Sync exercise for healing of oneself and others. The final presentation defined four fundamental styles of energy, expressed in our own bodies and sexuality, and how they may be reflected in our beliefs, attitudes, and feelings about dying. The experiential portion of this session allowed everyone to explore four ways of being with death in a Hemi-Sync-support- ed ambiance. Succeeding issues of the HEMI-SYNC JOURNAL will feature the papers that formed the basis for the presenta- tions. /Ed. note: Unedited copies of session tapes are available.] Throughout the week, the Open Forum schedule provided a © 1993 The Monroe Institute Route 1, Box 175, Faber, VA 22938-9749 804/361-9132 --- PAGE 2 (OCR) --- HEMI-SYNC™ JOURNAL platform for members to share their unique healing and teach- ing skills freely.

Bodywork and personal fitness sessions, together with free time for just relaxing (swimming, playing volleyball, walking, or running), struck a balance between the inner and outer. During the Tape Day Intensive, everyone experienced selected tape exercises from the LIFESPAN 2000 program. The finale was a Celebration of Change to inaugurate the first year of the Professional Membership’s second decade. An enthusiastic group sing-along followed an excellent evening of live music by Mark Certo and Clinton Brown. From the foundation of the unique energy generated by the seminar, members departed with many plans in the formative stages—plans to develop the myriad ways in which the Hemi- Sync technology can be integrated into the cycles of life to enable all to thrive instead of merely survive.

Last summer I experimented with yet another dimension to aid workshop participants in getting the most for their time and effort. This project involved the use of Hemi-Sync for enhancing the delivery ofa workshop on conflict management. Workshop Objectives The workshop objectives were threefold. Clearly, a primary
