Mind Electronics NEW The Enhancer NEW The Healing Zapper NEW Young Person’s Zapper Series Life-Changing Mind Electronics Alpha Wave / Theta Wave Trance Sex The Zapper Hypnotic OM Astral Journey Metronome @ 45 Beats Per Minute * * * * * Our mind-electronic programs are high-tech ways to induce and maintain an altered state of consciousness. The programs listed above work in different ways, and to some degree, are for different purposes. To make sure everyone is with me, I need to provide some basic background information. First, understand that an altered state of consciousness is also a way of saying hypnosis or deep meditation. No matter what you call an Alpha or Theta mind state, it amounts to the same thing -- slowing down the cycle-per-second-activity of your brain. You can do this naturally with meditation or self-hypnosis. As a writer, when uninterrupted at my keyboard, I naturally go into an eyes-open altered state. But I don't nearly as deep as when I'm using an electronic program or doing self-hypnosis. Long-distance runners usually go into an altered state after running about one mile. Artists go into an altered state while working. So do many of you reading this. If you experience an activity that allows you to totally focus and time seems to disappear, you're naturally altering consciousness in the process. A medical research report showed that while watching TV, two-thirds of the time you're in an eyes-open, light-level altered state. You may have had the experience of someone talking to you while you were watching TV and you didn't hear them. You probably figured that you were just engrossed in the program. But an altered state so totally focuses your attention upon one thing, that you tune everything else out. The "feel-good" result of an altered state is the natural release of brain/mind opiates called endorphins. William Glasser, M.D. calls running a "positive addiction," because of this release and the mellow mental state that results. Because if feels so good, you want more -- thus the concept of an addiction. Of course, TV can be equally addicting for the same reasons, without the health-enhancing results. When you go to sleep at night, your mind slows down and you drift from Beta, down into Alpha, then Theta and eventually Delta. In the morning, as you awaken you come up through these states to return to Beta. Although, most people don't make it all the way back to Beta until they've finished their first cup of coffee. And if you, like me, spend a great deal of your day in alpha, you probably never fully return to Beta. This may or may not work for you. If you hold down a high-pressure job that requires assertiveness and knife-edge quick thinking, you may want to rethink purposely inducing an altered state for extended periods of time. For me, I like viewing life through mellow filters.
The Mechanics Brainwave activity is divided into four levels of cycle-per-second activity: Beta: Full consciousness Alpha: Falling asleep at night Theta: Early stages of sleep Delta: Full sleep to deepest sleep. Alpha, Theta and Delta are all considered altered states of consciousness. The Mind Electronics programs described in this article will take you to Alpha and Theta. _____________________________ If you are wide awake in full Beta consciousness, the cycle-per-second activity of your brain is clicking away (converting cycle-per-second to beats per minute) at about 800 beats per minute in the mid Beta range. As you relax and go into an altered state, the activity slows down through Alpha to about 145 beats per minute at the bottom of Alpha/top of Theta. This level is also called the Hypnogogic state. Below Theta is Delta, which is natural sleep. The term, "follow response sound," means a sound or vibration that slows down over a period of time -- usually five to ten minutes. The sound will begin in the mid-Beta range and slow down to Alpha or to Theta. Your mind naturally synchronizes and locks onto the sound and follows it down. An altered state is induced even without you realizing it.
The Audio Programs NOTE: After two weeks of daily use, any of these programs will be far more effective than the first time you use them. It can take this long to condition your mind to attain your natural deepest level. Never use any mind electronics or altered-state program in a moving auto or while doing something that requires you to be alert and focused. * * * * * Life-Changing Mind Electronics Track 1: "Beta-To-Theta Follow Response -- This is the first program I created many years ago, and it's still being used by many people for specific purposes. But Side A/Track 1 is simply a clicking sound that slows from mid-Beta to Theta. I combined it with music in seminars I conducted in the late 70s and early 80s. Back then, I wrote about a woman who ran a nursery school with an abundance of hyper children. She told me when she played the tape, the children mellowed out. She said the tape allowed her to make it through the day without going crazy. (You play it softly in the background.) In response to that article, I had teachers and nursery-school people from all over the country ordering the tape. And cards and letters poured in thanking me for helping them to keep from going crazy. I don't know about the morality altering the kids consciousness, but I can vouch for the calming effectiveness. STUDYING AND RETENTION: Sit down, close your eyes and listen to the sound for five minutes (until you reach Theta). Now open your eyes and tell yourself to remember what you see, hear or read. Allow the sound to play in the background. Stop every few minutes to tell yourself again that you will remember everything you see, hear or read (you've increased your suggestibility by 25 to 200 times while listening). When you're done, turn off the program and count yourself up from one to five. Say the words, "wide awake" several times. PROGRAMMING: Get comfortable, close your eyes, listen for five minutes, then begin to give yourself positive suggestions (phrased as an already accomplished fact). (If you’re working to get rid of a headache, tell yourself, "My head now feels good. My head feels as good as it has ever felt.") Also, visualize what you want to experience as if it were already so. Awaken yourself at the end as described above. PSI EXPLORATIONS: Same as above, but use your time to count yourself back into a past life, or explore telepathic sending, remote viewing or any other PSI exploration. If you don't have a metaphysical background, you'll need to do some reading and preparations for such experiments. Track 2: Hypnogogic Sound Vibration -- This is a synthesizer-produced vibration of 6 to 7 cycles per second (a "fluttering" sound), combined with effects and a nearly subliminal human heartbeat. This combination of tones and effects will assist you to achieve and retain the ideal level for subjective explorations. The hypnogogic level is a bit fragile. Once you get there, you can easily drift off into a natural sleep, or just as easily awaken to full consciousness. But the sound vibration will help you to retain the hypnogogic level. My wife Tara has the natural ability to go into Theta and remain there literally for hours while she explores or works with her spirit guide. But I usually go to sleep after short periods of time. In the early days of experimenting, I'd set an alarm clock to bring me back. This resulted in a lot of short, jerky and time-consuming explorations. So, working with sound engineers, I created this program for myself. And it helped me to remain at this level and explore for a much longer period of time. Most users agree that it helps them as well to work in Theta for extended periods. The hypnogogic level is a semi-sleep state conducive to the release of images from your unconscious mind. Albert Einstein claimed to receive his ideas in this state and Mozart composed music at this level. "Pictures come to me as in a dream," said painter Vincent Van Gogh, explaining how he perceived his future paintings in a twilight sleep. To use the program, simply lie down, close your eyes, slow down your thoughts, breathe deeply and listen to the sound as you focus on what you want to attain, whether it is an idea, a solution or new awareness. Or just relax and observe what comes into your mind. Or use the time for programming as I've already explained. * * * * * The Altered-State Sound Track 1: This program uses state-of-the-art digital recording and three-dimensional sound effects. You'll hear the hypnotic sound of waves rolling up the beach, combined with soothing New Age music and a gradually slowing vibrational pulse, which will electronically draw your mind down into Alpha. No words or induction are necessary. The sound will generate a very relaxed altered state of consciousness, which is ideal for a flowing massage. It just might add a new dimension to making love. You can also use your time to explore or program your mind, just I've described with the Mind Electronics album above. Track 2: Same as Track 1, but I conduct a metaphysical induction, relaxing your body and directing you to manifest etheric electricity. This is ideal preparation for metaphysical explorations such as past-life regression, automatic writing, astral projection, remote viewing, telepathic exploration, etc. After the induction, you hear only the Altered-State Sound until the end of the program when I awaken you with positive suggestions. * * * * * Alpha Wave / Theta Wave Track 1: Alpha Waves -- This is our third generation of electronic exploration. As with the above programs, it will take you down into an Alpha state, but in a different way. You hear a consistent sound that is best described as pulsing electronic waves. I personally prefer this to the beta-to-theta clicking sound on Mind Electronics. (But not everyone agrees.) Track 2: Theta Waves -- This track will take you deeper and help you to retain the Theta state just as Track 2 of Mind Electronics. Use both tracks just as you would the above programs I've already described. * * * * * Trance Sex This CD combines, music, Theta Waves and sensual subliminal suggestions. I created it for erotic massage and making love. You'll hear soothing music, combined with trance-inducing Theta Waves -- resulting in a shared, eyes-open altered state. Embedded in the music are suggestions to enhance the sexual union and a merging of two souls who are open to experiencing each other on a deeper level. Lovers may perceive shared visions. Some have reported feeling a new sense of oneness. Others have claimed a soul-bonding "afterglow" which lingered long after making love. Use this CD regularly to enhance effectiveness. When you're both ready to fully awaken, count yourself up from one to five and say the words, "Wide Awake." The Subliminal Suggestions: The following words are repeated over and over behind the music -- unheard by your conscious mind, but perceived by your unconscious. "Sensual. Bonding. Seductive. Love. Sex. Union. Two into one. Arousal. Desire. Passion. Merge soul energy. Become one. Longing. Attain wholeness. Completeness. Love. Beloved. Whispered words. Whispered desires. Love. Passion. Melding. Merging. Intensity. Excitement. Love. Passion. Hunger. Thirst. Love. Craving. Carnal. Heat. Urgency. Love. Flesh. Tantalizing. Zeal. Stroking. Fondling. Love. Taste. Rhythm. Passion. Love. Satisfaction." * * * * * The Zapper The entire 74-minute CD is one program -- my latest electronic exploration. It is so powerful, I'm still trying to figure it out and Tara and I are in the midst of experiments to test its potentials. Tara says it only takes 20 seconds of listening to knock her out. How it came about: One day while simply exploring in an altered state as I've described above, I received a message: "Combine theta waves with a delta pulse." I don't know if the words came from my Higher mind, my spirit guide or maybe even a deceased electronics guy on the other side. I do know it is possible for our brains to register both rhythms at the same time, as can be measured on electronic brainwave equipment. But I have yet to find anyone who knows the full potential of generating such an effect. Anyway, I explained what I wanted to Steven, my sound-engineer son, and to New Age musician Jerry Crocker. Instead of using the beat I described, Jerry suggested and created a diminishing Delta pulse which he added to our existing "Theta Wave" program. I tried it out. Steven looped and mastered it to CD. And I'm releasing it on a trial basis, because we may end up changing it, or adding other effects. But for now I'm going to put it out there and ask for responses from the people who use it. As I write this, I'm planning to introduce The Zapper in my keynote talk on the opening morning of the American Board of Hypnotherapy Convention in Costa Mesa, California, February 17. By hypnotizing 400 or more professional hypnotists at one time, I'll be sure to get a quick reaction. The Zapper is highly effective for all the techniques I've already described, but I find myself playing it most often while I'm writing. I guess this is a matter of admitting that I'm writing while "stoned." But talk about focus! And ideas seem to just explode out of some hidden little corners of my mind. But I must also admit that the other day after listening while writing a few letters, I folded them up, inserted them in envelopes, then walked out the door of my office and put them in the mailbox . . . without bothering to put on stamps. Be warned. Make sure you're safe to explore in this tweaky state of consciousness. Never use any such program in a moving auto or while doing things that could have consequences if you momentarily forget where you are and what you're doing. * * * * * Hypnotic OM By itself, Eternal OM is inner-harmony music produced in a pentatonic scale -- without tension or resolve. Soothing synthesized instrumentals combined with voices that intone the OM at the prescribed vibrations. On this CD we've added a follow-response to sound to the first 10 minutes of Eternal OM. Your mind will link to the sound and you will be drawn deep into Alpha. At this time, you'll be in an eyes-open or eyes-closed Alpha level of consciousness -- whichever you decide upon. Use the CD just as I've described for the other mind-electronic programs. This is the CD I most often use in my seminars, when inducing group sessions. So many participants asked if they could purchase the album, we finally developed one for general release. Eternal OM is consistently on "Top 10" New Age music charts for sales in metaphysical stores. Hypnotic OM uses the same great music (which is trance-inducing all on its own) and adds the electronic dimension. * * * * * Astral Journey Soothing inner-harmony music -- a blend of instruments and ethereal voices that draw you into the Higher realms of light and love. As above, the follow-response sound fades away after about 10 minutes, leaving you in an eyes-open or eyes-closed Alpha level. Tara and I both will use this CD on occasion in our seminars. Both Eternal OM and Astral Journey are ideal for metaphysical explorations, massage, love making and day dreaming. * * * * * Metronome A hypnotist's primary tool is his/her voice. I usually gives this tape/CD to the participants taking my annual Professional Hypnosis Training. It is simply a clicking sound at exactly 45 beats per minute. Use it to practice your induction, and to learn to hit one, two or even three words on a single beat. When you can roll your voice in a paced pattern, you can induce a trance state in others. Once you develop the ability, you can do it so smoothly that others don't even realize your rolling your voice. This is how preachers hypnotize their flocks and the big-name lawyers hypnotize members of the jury. Some hypnotists also play the beat softly in the background, even during the awakened interview process. Then when it's time to induce an Alpha state, the hypnotist begins to match his/her voice to the beat, accelerating the induction process. * * * * * SPECIAL NOTE: If you don't have a background of perceiving vivid images in an altered state, I strongly suggest that you work with my How To Be A Better Receiver program (NX502 -- $12.98). Currently available only as a tape, it offers an intense 90-minute workshop that contains the training you need to be a good hypnosis subject. Content: talks, exercises and a sample past-life regression session to help you maximize your receptivity. How light or deep a hypnosis subject you are has nothing to do with the accuracy of your perceptions. Anyone can learn to receive vivid, life-changing impressions while in an altered state, once they understand the various methods and experience the exercises. * * * * * Even after I explain the differences in the aforementioned products, some people will ask, "Well, which one should I choose?" But I can't answer that. One person will love one program and dislike another. The next person has exactly the opposite opinion. It comes down to how you are going to use it, which sounds you like best and which program is most effective for you. But if you still want to ask me which one I suggest, I'd say, "Try The Zapper." But that's because I'm having so much fun with it, even though it causes me to mail letters without stamps. Copyright 2000 by Dick Sutphen, Malibu CA |
