Freedom to Change
Freedom to Change is a unique psychoacoustic support program for addiction recovery, self-esteem, eliminating self-sabotage, and dealing with emotional overwhelm, as well as with grief and loss. Based upon the pioneering work of Milton Erickson, M.D., and the psychoacoustic tonal matrices of Tom Kenyon and Acoustic Brain Research, Freedom to Change gently imparts resources that transform lives. This CD contains BioPulse™ frequencies in the alpha-delta range (10-4 Hz)
What Are Those Odd Sounds I Hear?
Some of these sounds are BioPulse™ frequencies that help the brain/mind enter into more relaxed and receptive states. Other sounds are specific tonal patterns and frequencies, many of which are just below the threshold of conscious hearing. These sounds are activating the brain/mind at important moments during the learning process.
In addition, Tracks 1 and 2 contain subliminal audio messages that promote healing. A script for these messages appears at the end of these liner notes.
How Should I Play This Recording?
Stereo headphones are strongly suggested in order to receive maximum psychoacoustic stimulation of the brain and mind.
Cautions
Please read all instructions before listening to this recording. Do not listen to this recording in situations requiring alertness such as when operating machinery or driving a car. Freedom to Change is for self-exploration and self-education purposes only.
Background
Freedom to Change was originally created to be used by persons recovering from addictions. However, once the program was in use by laypersons and therapists alike, it became quite clear that it was also extremely beneficial in cases of recovery, incest, rape, and emotional abuse, as well as suicide risk, emotional overwhelm, low self-esteem, and emotional sabotage.
The term addiction refers to the abuse of not only drugs and/or alcohol, but also to the abuse of such things as food, overwork, sex, unhealthy relationships, and even such things as exercise or watching television (in some cases). If an activity is uncontrollable and impoverishes other areas of our lives, it is addictive.
You may be using this program with a therapist as a support to your treatment. The advantage in a therapeutic context is that you receive professional help to sort out difficult issues and/or feelings you may be experiencing.
You may, of course, use this program by itself, without a therapist. Hundreds of people have done just this and found the program to be of immense benefit on its own.
However, should you experience strong emotions or behaviors that you feel unable to handle, it is advised that you contact a mental-health professional.
There are four tracks on this recording. Each one comprises one listening session.
Track 1 Self-Esteem (12:18)
Track 2 Eliminating Self-Sabotage (13:26)
Track 3 Emotional Overwhelm~ (14:23)
Track4 Ocean of Calm (9:41)
How to Use Freedom to Change
The core of the program consists of the first three tracks.
It is suggested that you alternate between Tracks 1 and 2, i.e., listen to Track lone day, then Track 2 the next. Listen to Track 3 whenever you feel emotionally troubled. If you have the time and motivation, you can listen to all three tracks in a single day. You can listen to these tracks as many times as you wish. In fact, some persons report listening to the entire recording (all four tracks) many times in a day-especially during difficult emotional periods.
The fourth track, “Ocean of Calm,” is designed for those times when you want as little sensory input as possible. There are no audible words on this track, just ocean sounds, psychoacoustic sound patterns, and calming music.
How long Should I Follow the Program?
Generally speaking, most people benefit immensely by following the suggested listening program (see above) for a month or two. If you are recovering from an addiction, it is suggested that you follow the program for at least six months to a year. Make a commitment to yourself Repetition of the listening sessions is vital to the success of the program.
What Are Transformational Metaphors?
The stories you will be hearing are based upon the medical hypnosis work of Milton Erickson, M.D. They “speak” to the unconscious mind through a precise use of language and metaphor. Through this method, me unconscious interprets the stories as messages about you and your greater potential. These stories are powerful catalysts for personal transformation and growth. Because the messages go directly to the unconscious, most people experience spontaneous improvements in their outlook and behavior.
Note: This program was originally recorded onto chrome audiotape and then transferred to digital tape. This is why you will occasionally hear the words “this tape.” This CD has been digitally mastered to capture the frequencies and psychoacoustic depth of the original masters.
