helpful by the group. Facilitators attributed this response to place- ment in the workshop format and time constraints. Exploring was introduced at the end of the workshop, time was short, and the room was very hot and humid. These factors were not conducive to creating an environment for optimal use. The tape will be used in the future with a better understanding of the conditions that would maximize its impact. ‘H-PLUS—The Prep side of H-PLUS Relax was perceived by par- ticipants to have an impact on their state of relaxation. Many peo- ple mentioned this effect. Approximately fifty percent said they could not believe anything could relax them to the degree that was accomplished. There was insufficient time to assess uniformity of results with the Function Command. However, several comments indicated that the relaxation response was present when it was used. Summary and Personal Observations Facilitators believed that the Hemi-Sync technology used in this project enhanced the delivery of the conflict management seminar. Statistical analysis is basic in nature and is built on the personal perceptions of the participants rather than on hard data. Even the basic statistical approach employed in this instance added an addi- tional portion of credibility to the conclusions drawn. Problems were minimal. Obtaining personal tape players for each individual was more of a logistical difficulty than was antici- pated. Moving the stereo equipment in and setting it up went

smoothly. Careful orientation resolved most questions about the nature and intent of the tapes. Some did see the tapes as similar to hypnosis; one person feared a conflict with personal Christian beliefs. These concerns arose despite the careful orientation, which will be repeated at succeeding seminars. The technology is demon- strating its value and will see continued use with those interested in improving their personal performance and satisfaction.

Ske has been a professional member of The Monroe Institute since July of 1987. Here, Dr. Rhodes describes her use of Super Sleep to modify a youngster’s disturbed and disruptive sleep cycle. George was born two months preterm with hyaline membrane disease and a variety of additional conditions of lesser severity. Between the ages of ten months and approximately three years, he participated in a home-based, parent-implemented infant education
program designed and supervised by me. At two years and nine months, he was also receiving speech and language therapy services, was experiencing feeding difficulties, and was exhibiting considerable upset in response to even minor changes in his routine. Intelligence- test data indicated a preponderance of performance within the nor- mal range. However, areas of clear deficit continued to exist. Although it was possible to complete an evaluation in one sitting (which had not been true in the past), it was also true that behav- iorally George continued to be the human equivalent of a horse that Recent reports indicated that George’s sleeping behavior no longer represented a problem to himself or anyone else. needs blinders to function. As described by his caregivers, George’s need for attention and supervision did not cease with the advent of sleep, a characteristic that interfered with all aspects of functioning, both his and that of those who cared for him. In an effort to influence Georges sleeping behavior positively, it was decided to introduce the Hemi-Syne Super Sleep tape into his nighttime environment following a suitable period for collection of baseline data. Super Sleep, which is played continuously throughout the night, entrains the brain through successive, normal sleep cycles. In other words, it is designed to guide an individual into sleep iv --- PAGE 5 (OCR) --- Fall 1993 and maintain the sleep state.
