Years ago I discovered that I could use a Light & Sound mind machine while my client described their issue symptoms. At frequencies of 8.5 – 10 hz alternating, I found that clients tended to more quickly solve their own problems. One woman I worked with said she felt she could do anything in that state of mind.
Some Common Thinking Errors and What to Do About Them
For RET Technicians, try using a mind machine while doing RET Life Skills Coaching.
Soar into altered states of consciousness as you relax to unparalleled visually stunning displays and brain-soothing sound.
What seemed to work for me was to slowly adjust the mind machine’s frequency up, little by little, until the client showed a distinct relaxing of the facial muscles. Then I’d leave the frequency there for a while before inviting the client to discuss their issue with me. My job was to help them elicit further aspects of their issue or problem. “What ELSE…” “…And then…” etc. Mostly I focused on behavior, belief, and physical sensation, rather than on emotion.
For example, one client, who favors the auditory modality, found it beneficial to just talk with the lights flashing – I just let her ramble on until she said she was “done.” She could do her “bitching” and complaining while the lights did their magic. For her, using the alternating lights at 4-5 hz would relax her and help her through her own “talk therapy.” We had to do some experimenting to find the best frequency for her; yet, I feel delighted that she loves the lights and I don’t have to do as much RET wand work. Her overall life attitude has changed dramatically since using the machine in this manner.
You can even use this method for self-resolution. Just place the mind machine on yourself and start it. Then simply start talking about what bugs you – do it out loud so you get it out of your head. I recommend selecting a relaxation program on the mind machine, but just about any program will work – including the “random” programs some machines offer.
You can use the manual mode in machines that offer this option (like the Voyager Galaxy, Proteus, or Sirius mind machine) – simply adjust the frequency up or down until you feel particularly relaxed or the flashing lights feel like they are drawing energy away from you. For most people there will be a distinct feeling that the light pattern is drawing energy out and away from them.
