The Monroe Institute programs encourage the evolution and growth of human consciousness through personal exploration of profound states of expanded awareness using the Hemi-Sync® process.

Hemi-Sync® is a trademarked, state-of-the-art audio technology based on the natural functioning of the brain that encourages coherent brainwave activity. Our brains produce waves or patterns of electrical activity. Different patterns indicate different mental states, such as rest (occipital Alpha), deep sleep (central Delta), meditation (central and frontal Theta), physical activity (wide-spread Beta). Hemi-Sync's audio binaural beats influence these brainwave patterns and in concert with the other components of the Hemi-Sync® process consequently affect states of consciousness.

The Hemi-Sync® process is an auditory-guidance system developed and improved by The Monroe Institute over forty years of research. The coined, trademarked term, Hemi-Sync®, signifies an entire process; a combination of multiplexed audio binaural beats and pink sound (or music), verbal suggestion (on some CDs) , relaxation exercises, and guided imagery, all carefully crafted to engender desired mental states of consciousness. Hemi-Sync® influences brainwave patterns and appears to transform states of consciousness. The Hemi-Sync® process does not employ the use of subliminal suggestions. Hemi-Sync® auditory-guidance programs are designed for listening through stereo headphones or properly placed stereo speakers. The versatility of Hemi-Sync® gives the basic technology an almost limitless range of applications for mental, physical and emotional well-being. The technology simply and effectively allows you to involve your own total capabilities and direct them as you choose. It can be compared to a powerful software program that facilitates extraordinary levels of performance and productivity, guided by the intention and desire of the listener.
