Hemi-Sync™
Hemi-Sync Questions inevitably pop up. Eventually, someone asks; “What frequencies are used for…?” Don’t feel bad. Curiosity happens. I’m sure you’ll like the answer, its complex and sort of mind boggling. It’s the reason that most companies out there who try to copy what Bob Monroe did never get it right.
There’s a “slew” [that’s deep southern for a whole bunch] of frequencies produced in any given Hemi-Sync product and they differ for each ear, as well as a “reach,” or as they say up north of Bal’mer City, range or spread, which are designed to cover at least most everyone or about eighty percent of the population at large. But, that’s not what’s important about Hemi-Sync. It’s the third frequency which your own brain invents that makes the difference. And of course there are some other somewhat complicating differences that come into play as well.
For instance, let’s take a mix of just four Hemi-Sync signals as an example. For simplicity, we’ll label them using “L” for left ear and “R” for right ear; “1″ for first signal, “2″ for second, and so forth, through the “4th signal.” So we have L1, L2, L3, and L4 mixing with R1, R2, R3, and R4. They in turn produce “M” which represents “A Mix Signal,” M1, M2, M3, and M4, which has been created by your brain.
But wait! Your brain will then mix M1 with L1, for M1(2), and M1 with R1, for R1(2), M2(2), R2(2), etc., and then we have a further sub-mix of M1(2) with R2(2) for a MM(2) etc. These are called sub-harmonic mixes. These sub-harmonic mixes are compounded and stacked at specific points throughout the CD play out, where other new L1 and R1 frequencies are then specifically introduced for specific reaches at specific times throughout the Hemi-Sync exercise; kind of like developing music inside your head, only it’s your brain that’s building and playing it, not the CD. And this was all developed over a very long time, through trial and error by Robert Monroe himself, in his lab, using his explorer group, himself, and hands-on mixing equipment. He did this running through each exercise over and over again, tweaking it as he went, a little bit here a little bit there, while watching the results as he went, watching the effects, until he locked down what he wanted to do and produce. To say that he was a gifted man would be an understatement.
So…it’s easier to answer questions about Hemi-Sync by letting you know what works for me. There is a lovely exercise which walks you through a garden, which is part of the Surgical Recovery package. I use that piece for both pain control and for sleeping after surgery. It’s remarkable, at least for me! For someone else…it may give you hives or keep you awake all night, I don’t know. I just know Hemi-Sync works, and the magic of it is in trying it until you find something that works for you, finding the right CD or tool, the right exercise that fits what you want to do with it. In the future all that may change, but for now, that’s what I know about it.

Hi Joe-
Very interesting stuff - I am surprised how many people in the remote viewing community don’t get the “what works for one person may not be best for another”, but thats to be expected in the methods approach to competition - simple business I assume.
I love my TMI CDs, but I almost always prefer the “free flow” versions of the CDs with no narrative. There is something very tangible on the monroe CDs that I just dont feel on other schools, but they tend to push me a bit deep for viewing. I do prefer having some sort of background audio when I am doing a long session.
The harmonics theory they use is really fascinating - I previously knew of the binaural beat - the third virtual tone the brain produces - but I never knew there were so many other harmonics! Thanks for sharing, very interesting.

I enjoy my TMI Gateway Exploration set of CDs. They go all the way from focus 12 to the beginings (with a bit of free flow) of focus 21. But I have a set of TMI CDs designed specifically for OBEs that I like even better. They’re longer and don’t have any voice-overs (which always seems to disturb me at the worst possible moment, lol).
I enjoy focus 15 for RVing now and then but the OBE set is even better for RVing for me. But all in all, I have to say that I find them best not for OBE’s or RVing either one. Both activities seem to work better just organically, arising from silent meditation. Nowadays, I use the TMI CDs for variety in meditational sessions and for pain control - they work great for that, at least for a while.
Spending time with animals (like Bing), existing on their wavelengths for long periods, is probably the single best method of healing as well as pain-relief I’ve ever found. They draw the focus away from the self and into their world. If you go with it and pay attention, you can find a whole different reality, one of which our section of the spectrum is only a part. I guess mankind’s been learning from animals since time immemorial. I guess there’s vast amounts they can still teach us, all of us, if we are only willing to learn.

dear joe
I seem to be one of the few who have a little difficulty getting the third sound( could be of a head injury), none the less I have read and misplaced I think your book remote viewing secrets which led me to TMI. the question is does putting the gateway experiences on an ipod effect the sound patterns? I also use dr jeffery thompsons cds for brain entrainment.
I must say I am a believer of being guided to those whom can give guidance and support .

I come here to this blog looking for answers only to leave with more questions…
just ordered your Ultimate time machine with skip atwaters book, should be here in a few days.
been rereading dr. moody’s book “Reunions”
it just seems that now is the “time”
hope you are well

hey joe isn`t the synchronicity meditation down the road a similar kinda thing
technology used instead for meditation?
M.C talks mainly about deep delta frequencies for deep meditation
theta not quite as deep
alpha as focused
what freq. are usefull for RV
