material. The newly incorporated method provides a founda- tion for the client’s further development. Once conscious, coherent information processing is established, a greater exploration of the primary learning system can be undertaken. © 1991 The Monroe Institute Route 1, Box 175, Faber, VA 22938-9749 804/361-1252 --- PAGE 2 (OCR) --- HEMI-SYNC JOURNAL METHODOLOGY In the primary learning system one encounters emotion and memories from the unconscious years of development, zero to ten years of age, and intuitive and sensate input relative to present-day development. To begin, I ask the client to record in a journal all emotional and memory input, as well as any intuitive and sensate material such as dreams, visions, or fantasies. Using the journal, the two of us then spend an hour anda half a week sorting through what has been remembered, recorded, and pertains to that week of the client’s life. This method serves a) to educate the client to his/her own system of processing data; b) to differentiate emotional response from intuitive, felt- feeling response; c) to begin a conscious observation of archetypal behavior, i.e., how data has been conceptualized and organized within the psyche; d) to foster an understanding of personal archetypal behavior as a link to universal archetypal behavior; e) to encourage the client’s individuating process.

a) live in an agitated state; they have forgotten or are not consciously aware of a relaxed mental state. The typical methods of evoking relaxation are sexual activity, alcohol, drugs, food, and sleep; b) view their lives through a body consciousness, an emo- tional consciousness, or through many of the other forms that cultural, rational consciousness takes; c) lack conscious experience of their own dreams, visions, active imagination, or creative visualization; d) feel that the state of “mind awake/body asleep” has no value. Most often, when it occurs for them, it is viewed as a lack of sleep; e) perceive the use of intuition or objective consciousness as too assertive, controlling, illegal, or a weird state of mind not to be trusted; f) have avery low tolerance for the higher vibratory levels that conscious attention can induce. HEMI-SYNC MODALITY The Hemi-Sync tape that | initially use in my work with clients is The Way of Hemi-Sync. I prefer this tape as it requires no explanation, guides the listener step-by-step through an experience, and gives information and instruction simply and easily. INTRODUCTION OF HEMI-SYNC INTO THE THERAPEUTIC PROCESS Generally I will introduce a client to Hemi-Sync when there is a call for reduction of stress and anxiety. After an initial, and often lengthy, discussion of relaxation methods, I ask the client whether s/he has used any kind of sound techniques, and if s/he would be interested in trying one for
stress reduction, as well as to aid his/her present work of balancing right-brain and left-brain functioning. Most clients choose to use the tape. First | introduce them to The Monroe Institute’s work and describe Frequency Fol- lowing Response (FFR) and Hemi-Sync using the explanations from the Institute brochure. Then I provide the tape, tape instructions, and the “Are Thoughts Really ‘Things’?” pam- phlet, which cites the application of a topographic display EEG computer system to investigate the relationship between brain waves and states of consciousness. To complete the orienta- tion, we usually discuss equipment, tape listening preparation and scheduling, and the broader application of learning about other energy systems. The client takes The Way of Hemi-Sync and literature home, and is responsible for deciding how often and when to use the tape. To date I have introduced twenty-five clients to Hemi-Sync. INTRODUCTION RESULTS Twenty-four of the twenty-five clients introduced to Hemi-Sync immediately made the decision to try the tape. The client who initially decided not to use the tape later requested it. Three clients returned the tape. One man stated that “in a home of six children there was no undisturbed time to use it.” (He now frequently uses a METAMUSIC tape for the whole household to hear.) Two clients reported that their ears were too sensitive to the sound (one person wears hearing aids in both ears, the other is extremely sensitive to her inner proc-
