Hemi-Sync Support for Journeys Out of the Body
Introduction In 1958, Bob Monroe had an extraordinary experience that dramatically altered the course of his life. The chronicles of his experience and the events that followed were documented in his classic work, Journeys Out of the Body, published by Doubleday in 1971. The out-of-body experiences, or OBE, was and continues to be little understood. However, Bo's pioneering work has helped countless people in their personal quest to understand their own experience. Two chapters of "Journeys" were dedicated to providing guidance in the achievement of an OBE, and as Bob wrote, "the only possible way for an individual to appreciate the reality of this Second Body and existence within it is to experiences it himself." In 1973, Bob founded The Monroe Institute (originally known as The Monroe Institute of Applied Sciences), a research facility in Virginia. In searching for a means to quickly and safely induce states of relaxation and sleep, the Institute's research efforts resulted in the development of an "audio-guidance technology known as Hemi-Sync. This patented technology uses pulses of sound to help facilitate and maintain a naturally occurring brain state known as hemispheric synchronization, when both the left and right hemispheres of the brain work in unison. Bob's discoveries included the realization that the out-of-body states was but one of many possible states of expanded awareness, with many applications. In the years that followed, Hemi-Sync applications were developed to facilitate focused attention and concentration, accelerated learning, enhanced creativity, problem solving and pain management, to name just a few. Hemi-Sync Support for Journeys Out of the Body evolved as a natural extension of Bob's writing and the audio technologies he developed, presented together for the first time. The Monroe Institute remains dedicated to the continuing development of methods and techniques that will promote the evolution and growth of human consciousness.
