HOW TO USE YOUR LIGHT & SOUND INSTRUMENT
Helpful Hints.
-Always read your light and sound/ sound only owners manual. It is the best way to maximize your session experiences.
-Always have the volume at a comfortable level. Blasting the audio tones will not make a session more effective.
-When wearing lightframes, have the brightness set at a level you find enjoyable. The more you use your instrument, the more tolerable to brighter intensities your eyes should become. Like audio tones, you do not need to have the brightness set at the maximum level for it to be effective for you.
-To achieve the best possible results, use your system on a daily basis for the first 30 days.
-Wear clothing that is comfortable and loose fitting while doing sessions.
-Make using your mind machine a routine. Try to set aside a specific time and place for you to use your system.
-Have a goal in mind before beginning a session and say it verbally to yourself. Maybe it is a problem you need to solve, an idea you need to organize or some stress that needs to be released.
-Try to draw a mental picture of the goal you have in mind. Try to make it as detailed as possible. Can you picture the results? During the session, try not to drift from this picture. Try to re-main focused on your goal and mental picture. Should you find your thoughts drifting, just refocus.
-Keep a blanket or comforter handy. Blood flow to your extremities is reduced during deep relaxation and you might find yourself a bit chilled during the session.
-Be aware of how you are breathing. Try to have your breaths come in a deep, regular fashion. Try this: Inhale (count 1,2,3,4), Hold (2,3,4), Release (1,2,3,4) or mentally say to yourself as you breathe: Quiet/Cope/Focus.
-Keep a log or journal of your session experiences. After a session, remain still and listen to any thoughts that come into your mind. Answers do not always immediately surface after a session. Sometimes they surface hours or even a few days later. Be conscious of this while you go about your normal daily routine.
-To determine what works best for you, become aware of your energy levels, sleep patterns and stress levels over the course of the first four weeks.
-Do not be overwhelmed by your light and sound machine. The more you use it, the easier it becomes to use. Should you ever have a problem or question, never hesitate to call the dealer you purchased it from or the manufacturer directly.
-Please remember: When I first started using a light and sound instrument (an IQ-III in 1985) there was no one I could call. I still have a difficult time programming the clock on my audio / visual entertainment system. So if I can figure this technology out, believe me, you can too!
