First, it is important to be fully aware of what neuroacoustic stimulation really is.

Second, and this is important:
Children until 16 years of age 16 naturally enjoy alfa-rythms, which dominate without any additional stimulation.
Children can still use neuroacoustic programs ONLY if it is allowed by their medical practitioner and only under his observation. There are many cases when such conditions as ADHD are treated in children using brainwave stimulation, but it is only your medical practitioner who can authorize such use, we can't

This also applies to pregnant women. While it is not completely forbidden to use brainwave stimulation programs, it is your doctor who has to approve such use.

While the meditation programs are safe for most people, those who have epilepsy should not use them. People who should seek advice from a doctor prior to using this product include: -Those who are photosensitive. -Women who are pregnant. -Those with a history of seizures and/or epilepsy. -Those using a pacemaker. -Those under the influence of medication or drugs. -Those under the age of 18, as they are more likely to experience seizures. существуют.
-Those suffering from a severe mental disorder should also avoid using our programs.
There are no counter-indications for healthy people who are at least 18 years of age.
Atttention! Never drive a vehicle or operate machinery while listening to any Advanced Mind Institute meditation program. This product should not be used while under the influence of alcohol or other mind-state changing substances, legal or illegal.

A program instruction, as a general rule, contains the time of the day, which would be the most beneficial for a certain meditation program.
If a meditation program description does not have any recommendations it means you can you it at any time you like.

It is better to select your meditation time using our Planetary Hour calculator Planetary Hour Calculator try to select hours, highlighted in yellow, as these hours are the most beneficial for meditation.

Try to meditate at the same time every day, this will help you establish a habit.

When once a week you take a break from meditation programs you can still meditate without one.

Unless a meditation program description says otherwise then it would take you about a month for the program to produce effect. In some cases it might take much less time, we encountered cases when the effect was almost immediate.
After a month, a month and a half take 1 to 2 weeks break. This will help your brain to "digest" a program, then you can resume listening to any program you like.
During your weekly day off you can still meditate without using our programs as well as during your weekly or 2-week break.

We offer a large selection of free meditation programs, both online as well as free downloads. Pick any program you like, preferable an alpha-wave one. Establish a daily meditation routine, then, when you feel comfortable you can switch to paid meditation programs. Remember, you do not have to go to a Buddhist monastery to learn meditation. You can learn how to meditate in the comfort of your own home.

Yes, this is not science-fiction, you can still play back sounds under 20Hz using commercially available headphones. To achieve that we use different sound modulation techniques, the most known is the binaurial beat technology (which we do no use at all) when 200Hz frequency sound is played in one ear and 210Hz frequency signal is played at another. When combined they form a 10Hz resonance frequency that you cannot hear, but your brain can. The 200Hz carrier frequency can be played back by virtually any headphones. It is as simple as that.
Another option is the use of monoaurial or isochronic tones. A frequency of let's say 150Hz pulsates 8 times per second and this entrains your brain into alpha-rythm.
There are many other technologies, generally known as modulation, that can convey frequencies under 20Hz. We use amplitude modulation for example that alters the volume of the sound several times per second, hence entraining your brainwaves.

1. You can use virtually any МР3 player, but if you care for quality we recommend using sound editing software, they are the best players there are. There are two free sound editors you can install and use for playback. The first one is Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net), the second one is WavePad (http://www.nch.com.au/wavepad). Both these software programs are guaranteeed to play back our files correctly.
2. Sound Card. Let it not be a surprise for you but most commercial computers have a pretty low quality sound card, especially notebooks. It is a very good idea to buy an external sound card, they are not too expensive but they do make a difference. You can use a sound card from Creative or Asus, for exam-ple Asus Xonar7 (https://www.asus.com/us/Sound-Cards/Xonar_U7/). However, if you have a quality computer or mobile device you do not need to worry, generally they have high quality sound cards. Please check your manual to see what kind of sound card is installed on your PC or mobile device.
3. Headphones. They do now have to be expensive, but it is better to use headphone that completely cover your ears. it is better to avoid "earplug" type headphones.
4.   Before starting meditation check the sound card settings and adjust the volume. Please turn off and sound-altering software, such as: Equalizer, Environment effects, Flex Bass, Xear SignFX, Audio Brilliant, Dynamic Bass, Mega Bass, etc. Failure to do so may reduce a program's effectiveness or even make it completely useless.

No, you can't. However, you can get used to practicing meditation even without our programs and may find this process extremely interesting and stimulating. There is no question of any form of addiction as we understand it.

We use a large variety of brainwave entertainment technologies, except binaurial beats, as this is a very old and outdated technology. Some meditation programs use isochronic tones, monaurial beats, different types of sound modulation, for example amplitude modulation. We also use holophonic sound technology, and many other audio technologies. Unlike many other companies, who offer similar products, we specialize in using various types of modulation as the primary brain wave entertainment technique. We also help you achieve better results by helping you choose the right time for meditation using our planetary hour calculator. This takes the guesswork out of meditation, you can always find out what is the best time for you to meditate.

We use neuroacoustic research to develop our programs. Let me provide a few examples. We use Dr. Eugene Peniston and Dr. Paul Kulkosky's research from the University of South Colorado to develop an anti-addiction program, its effectiveness is backed by multiple scientific research. We use research by Dr. Joyce M, and Dr. Siever, to design our programs.

In very rare cases some people can experience discomfort or will not enjoy the benefits neuroacoustic programs have to offer. Such cases are very rare, most people reap enormous benefits from meditation and brainwave entrainment meditation programs.

Definitely not. There are absolutely no subliminals of any kind in our meditation programs.

No one will prohibit you from doing so, but the effectiveness will suffer. In order to get the most benefits from our programs you need to meditate, not just "listen" to programs.

The main goal when practicing meditation is to achieve what we call the “mind awake, body asleep” state. Sometimes it takes 10 minutes (or more for beginners) to achieve this state, becoming easier with each subsequent session. Characteristics of this state: A. The body feeling heavy, completely relaxed along with -> B. The mind being conscious, awake, and highly aware causing -> C. Breathing to slow down dramatically and -> D. Thoughts starting to have less frequency and less physiological response on the body. In this trance-like state of consciousness you can effortlessly find life solutions, release stubborn dysfunctional thought patterns, dig deep into your intuition, have creative visualization & insights, naturally balance your body’s chemistry, heal yourself on the deepest levels, and much more. You will see benefits: physical, psychological, mental, and emotional. This is why it is so important to meditate, not just listen to programs.
