Monroe Institute is real deal. Tones alone worked for me-not imbedded in music. Long story distilled down…@14 years ago I suffered a reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus. Auto immune response demyelinated peripheral nerves in legs and feet. I was diagnosed as “post viral syndrome “. Extreme fatigue, hyper reactive muscles, neuropathys…doc’s won’t see you for this, so 2 years of med research on my part showed that part of the damage is over active amygdala in my brain. How to “quiet” down your amygdala? Partly thru the use of hemi-sync tones. Helped greatly. My background of 30+years of acute/critical care helped me digest a lot of dense clinical info. Also gave me a realistic view of the level of health care available if you have something uncommon—you’re on your own. This is a very very distilled down description. As always, your mileage may vary.
Hemi Sync Recordings
I was shopping for some new CDs (gasp) on Amazon and I purchased this CD called Baroque Garden, which contains several pieces performed by the Archangelos Chamber Ensemble. I didn’t really read much about it, but I like this type of music, so OK. I got it yesterday and it turns out to be some type of New Age recording called Metamusic with a tone embedded that is supposed to synchronize both hemispheres of the brain and it says not to listen while driving or operating heavy machinery, apparently because you’ll get too relaxed. So I listened and there is some very soft hum recorded in the center. I don’t think a non-audiophile would pick it out, but you all would definitely hear it because it sounds like a slight hum that you would identify as something wrong with the amp or similar. The music is actually quite nice and I just thought I would pass it along. Turns out the thing was produced by the Monroe Institute, a place that preaches mental health and wellness. So now I have both hemispheres of my brain in sync and all is well. I did pee in my pants, but that’s nothing unusual. A small price to pay for synchronized hemispheres I guess.
