FAST FORWARD YOUR PERSONAL EVOLUTION
WITH THE MONROE INSTITUTE

by Linda Leblanc, Outreach/Residential Facilitator of The Monroe Institute

The use of sound and music for healing has a long history and current research reveals that sound has a powerful effect on almost every aspect of the body and the mind of the listener. For decades music has been a key element in superlearning and it has been discovered that music can naturally synchronize the brain and entrain brainwaves and the heart rate.

In the 1950s, American Robert Monroe, a successful businessman and broadcast executive, pioneered a new kind of sound technology. Fascinated with the possibilities of using sound to alter human consciousness, Monroe’s research using audio sound patterns to induce specific states of consciousness was the basis of the patented technology now known as Hemi-Sync®, which uses tones to balance both hemispheres of the brain. The author of three books describing his many extraordinary experiences, Monroe discovered that specific sound patterns and frequencies have beneficial, measurable effects on an individual’s capabilities. For example, some frequencies enhance alertness; others may induce sleep and still others evoke meditative states of expanded awareness.

Monroe was the founder of The Monroe Institute (TMI), a non-profit educational and research organization dedicated to researching the impact of Hemi-Sync and sound on the brain.

Hemi-Sync is combined with music or oral guidance to enhance its effectiveness. After 5 decades of research, there are over 300 Hemi-Sync CDs which may be used at home for a wide variety of applications. From meditation or focused attention to stress reduction and sleep enhancement, over 1 million tapes and CDs have been sold worldwide. The dozens of “Metamusic®” selections, which range from classical to New Age, sound like ordinary music to the listener, but have Hemi-Sync sound patterns embedded beneath the music.

TMI conducts educational programmes in the USA, Europe and Asia. Well over 20,000 people have attended the specially-designed week-long courses. There is a world-wide network of Outreach trainers, who provide local programmes, where one can experience first-hand the effects of Hemi-Sync, in an informal, relaxed setting, with a trained facilitator.

Paphos happens to be home to the only accredited Monroe Institute trainer in this part of the world. Since the year 2000, over 300 participants have attended the courses in Cyprus, which produce overwhelmingly positive comments, such as “a remarkable experience”, “I don’t think it could be better – perfect” and “a treasured experience for me and it opened a little bit more the door to spiritual awakening”. These courses, held in English, have attracted participants not only from Cyprus, but also from Lebanon, Israel, Greece, UK, France and Ukraine. The workshops are always a mix of many nationalities and people from all walks of life participate. Many men attend, attracted by the science behind the technology.

The results-oriented courses are designed to assist in expanding awareness and intuition and applying one's full potential to all areas of life. Specifically designed exercises with the Hemi-Sync technology form the core of the workshops, together with explanation, discussion and supportive group interaction. Participants learn step-by-step how to move comfortably through controlled stages starting with deep relaxation and then gently leading to various states of heightened awareness such as "Mind Awake/Body Asleep", a deeply relaxed state in which the body is asleep and the mind maintains full alertness and control.

This year, the renowned Gateway Voyage is being held in Cyprus from 29 May to 4 June. Participants explore the far reaches of inner space during a full week of relaxing as subtle changes in brainwave patterns allow them to:

· Awaken latent abilities and creative powers
· Release fears and blocks
· Advance big steps in meditation
· Fast forward personal/spiritual evolution

A week immersed in Robert Monroe’s Hemi-Sync® technology can change your life. The course is suitable for all levels, from first-timers to advanced. All one needs is a sense of adventure and openness to explore the leading-edge of brain/mind technology.
