breath. As you allow your muscles to relax, tension will
disappear. You may try lying down while using this session
with relaxing music. There is a quick two minute boost at
the end of the session to bring you "back up" again.

very deep tranquility and focused concentration. Some peo-
ple feel this session seems much shorter then 35 minutes.

period of several weeks to help you learn to properly let go

11 60 min Deep Meditation
Make time for yourself! Use this session when you know
you will remain undisturbed. This is the longest session
offered and for beginning users it may seem too long. It is
excellent as a training session if you are trying to learn how
to meditate for extended periods. You may find your medita-
tion practice will go more smoothly even without the help of
this machine.
Learning
Learning is enhanced when you are in a tranquil, alert
state. Absorbing new information and concepts—and
memorization too—becomes easier. Many people also find
self-help tapes are more effective when used along with a
light and sound machine. Try sessions 13, 16, or 17 for this
purpose, but make sure the session you choose is long
enough to last the length of the tape.

13 35 min Learning with Tapes

state of tranquil and focused concentration.
