Mind machines and self improvement technology.
Years ago after using a hypnotherapist and psycho analyst to resolve my issue I had with panic attacks, I was still suffering from a stuck feeling. I came across a mind machine marketed by a self improvement company in the United Kingdom called Lifetools. This machine had glasses which had four flashing lights in each eye and there was also head phones so you could listen to tones of sound. You could either listen to a specific frequency and the flashing lights and tones would guide you into an altered state of mind or you could listen to a specific program that guided you through a number of different frequencies. In a normal waking consciousness our minds are in Beta range. When we use hypnotherapy we move down into Alpha. When we start to dream we move into Theta and even deeper to Delta when we go to sleep. The mind machine could guide you through these frequencies.
Each time I used the original mind lab I had purchased the stuck feeling started to disappear as I used the machine. After using the machine for a couple of months the stuck feeling disappeared completely. Some people will experience clear vivid imagery when using the machine, while other people will see patterns of light. I certainly experienced a large release of endorphins while using the machine and also felt peaceful. My sleep improved and the need to drink coffee reduced.
This machine was designed by Robert Austin of Mindplace.com. At a later date I upgraded to the Mindlab Orion. There have been further improvements with the technology and the latest machine is called Procyon. Mindplace also have a biofeedback machine and I think they are looking at getting it to control the Mindlab ProCyon.
I understand that Mindmachines can help migraine sufferers, but can cause problems to people who are sensitive to light. Use the technology at your own risk, but I feel that it brought great benefit to me and is worth the risk. After all, one in four adults are likely to experience mental health issues at some time in their lives, whether it’s mild adult ADHD symptoms, anxiety or something much more life changing. It’s only natural to want to seek out a natural, non-chemical solution.
At a later stage I came across another program called the Centerpointe program invented by a gentlemen called Bill Harris. I would be very careful before using this program, as I believe it has side effects.
Centerpointe program.
The first level of the program lasts for about six months and has 4 CD’s. All you do is listen with head phones and this program guides you down through Alpha, Theta and Delta and the carrier frequencies are sub modulated to give it power. It uses binaural beat frequencies, two different tones are played into each ear and the difference between them is the frequency you hear in simplistic terms. Be very careful to follow the instructions in the program and not rush things. To start with you listen to the first CD for half a hour a day for the first two weeks and then for a hour a day for a period of time. Then you upgrade to the next CD and listen to that for a further period of time. The whole process takes about six months.
I experienced some unbelievable imagery while using the introductory level of the program, but on a downside a week of disturbed sleep.
Each level of the program can last six to 12 months. The sub modulation frequency is increased on each level of the program.
On levels one and two I suffered with very little disturbance and saw images like on the walls in a pyramid, just floating through my mind.
However when I progressed onto level three I got no benefit out of the program at all. My sleep patterns were disturbed and it upset my stomach. After three months I had to throw the CD’s in the bin, because every time I used them I had terrific cramp in the back of my head and it made my hair fall out excessively. On talking to the help desk at Centerpointe I didn’t think they took my complaint very seriously and wrote to Bill Harris, the reply I got from somebody else didn’t satisfy me.
Even though the product allowed me to see fantastic imagery, I can’t recommend it because of my experiences on level 3, it took me a long time to recover from my experiences.
