I was sighted in some way and I wanted to make it more apparent to myself. I began working with the GATEWAY EXPERIENCE exercises, and then followed the instructions to achieve a Focus 10 state without the tapes. One day, while grocery shopping with my mother and my aunt, I distinctly heard my uncle telephoning to say he was going to pick up his wife the next day. I told my mother what I had heard. That evening my uncle did call and said exactly what I had somehow heard in the store earlier that day. I attributed this precognitive experience to my work with the GATEWAY EXPERIENCE. When I recounted this to Patricia, she explained about the development of perceptual skills beyond the five physical senses, and about the “third eye” energy center. Later, I had another intuitive experience involving a close friend which gave me more proof that I was indeed seeing more than | had ever looked for. This kind of intuitive skill might be a distinct advantage for other blind people to develop. Patricia and I had taken each other's hands and crossed into each other's worlds. I have become physically self-assured as if lam more keenly aware of what's “out there.” Looking back over the year we worked together, I realize that I have overcome my fear of the world. Instead of being afraid to leave the house, I now look for places to go. At a recent soccer game I was able to perceive and understand the game vividly. My concentration and feeling of personal freedom have

He and his wife, Charlene Gallenberger, PAD, are the directors of The Open Center in Hendersonville, North Carolina, where the GATE- WAY OUTREACH programs are offered. The Open Center also plans to offer group programs that blend Hemi-Sync technology and clinical
instruction on issues such as sleep improvement, marriage enrich- ment, and adjustment to multiple sclerosis. Recently, clients and tl surance companies have pressed for briefer treatment. This presents me with a challenge, as I want therapy to be a learning experience for the individual and not just an exercise in temporary symptom relief. Thave addressed the challenge of providing rapid treatment while increasing the client’s self-understanding by using The Monroe Institute Hemi-Sync tapes. This article gives a few examples of how this method has worked over the last three years. Names and circum- stances have been modified to guard confidentiality. Ann was referred for hypnosis. It was essential that she have a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) test as soon as possible to check for a brain tumor. She had already failed to complete the test three times, even with calming medications. The MRI involves the person remaining motionless inside a very cramped tube for hours as the machine noisily takes pictures of the brain. Many people who have no difficulty with small spaces have intense anxiety reactions in the MRI. It is not desirable to anesthetize the person for the procedure because it interferes with their being monitored well while in the tube. The MRI team reported that, in their experience, no one who was even moderately claustrophobic had ever completed the test. ‘When Ann was a child, her father had held her head underwater,
