“….it is quite refreshing to know that there is a brain-entrainment modality that actually works. In fact,

I am convinced that Hemi-Sync goes beyond “blind” entrainment and consequently avoids some of the danger of underdeveloped technologies that clearly have the potential to do harm to those using them.”

What is the Hemi-Sync® Technology? A History

The Hemi-Sync® Technology was invented and developed by the late Robert Monroe, founder of the Monroe Institute®, who was  one of the world’s greatest researchers into the science of human consciousness.

Hemi-Sync® is a an audio guidance program that has been extensively researched and has been proven, both scientifically and clinically, to have the ability to harness the power of human potential. It is a safe, time proven audio guidance technology that has many applications for your daily life.

BACKGROUND

Robert Monroe spent the latter half of his life exploring the many realms of human consciousness. Along the way, he pioneered many advances and created a number of groundbreaking technologies –– one of his most renowned technologies being Hemi-Sync®.

Beginning in the late 1950’s, Mr. Monroe began experimenting with what was known at that time as “astral projections.” However, he felt that this terminology simply was not descriptive enough for what he was experiencing. So he invented a new one.

He concluded that “out-of-body experience” or “OBE” was a far more appropriate and descriptive term, particularly regarding his own personal consciousness expanding journeys.

Mr. Monroe took the study of out-of-body experiences very seriously and eventually built a laboratory, and then a state-of-the-art facility to thoroughly understand and explain this phenomenon.

That facility eventually become known as the Monroe Institute® and it is located in Faber, Virginia, about a three hour drive southwest of Washington, DC. The Monroe Institute was founded as a non-profit company.

THE GATEWAY VOYAGE

One of the core programs that was developed at the Monroe Institute was a course called, the Gateway Voyage®, which has been offered for the past thirty years. In fact, it is a prerequisite for all other programs that are taught at the Institute.

The Gateway Voyage® is an entire week of self-discovery and exploration into expanding human consciousness where attendees are introduced to the revolutionary technology of Hemi-Sync®, one of the primary technologies created and perfected by Robert Monroe.

Hemi-sync® is short for Hemispheric Synchronization, also known as Brainwave Synchronization. Hemi-Sync® defines the process of  synchronizing the two hemispheres of the brain together, thus the word, “hemi” for hemispheres, and “sync” for synchronization.

This amazing audio guidance technology works through the generation of a series of complex, multi-layered audio signals, also known as Binaural Beats, which act together to create a resonance that produces unique brainwave patterns characteristic of specific states of consciousness.

It is very powerful for creating, accessing and sustaining different states of awareness, and thus, different levels of consciousness.

The Hemi-Sync® audio guidance process works by sending different tones into each ear through a stereo headphone or speaker. Then the two hemispheres of the brain begin to act in unison to hear a third signal, which essentially is the difference between the first two tones.

This third tone is not an actual sound, but rather, an electrical signal that can only be perceived in the brain when both hemispheres are working together. The electrical signal is perceived as a wavering type sound, which stimulates the brain to move from random waves to more balanced and thus, highly synchronized brain wave patterns.

The end result of this process is a much more focused, centered whole brain state known as hemispheric synchronization or Hemi-Sync®. Thus, Hemi-Sync® produces an optimal condition for improving overall human performance.

This technology has been used for many different purposes which include relaxation and sleep induction, learning and memory aids, helping those with physical and mental difficulties, anxiety and stress management all accomplished by reaching higher altered states of consciousness.

LATEST UPDATES

The Monroe Institute® continues to carry on the standards and legacy of Robert Monroe as it works to continually refine and develop the Hemi-Sync® technology ever forward.
