Do not play at a volume higher than your  comfort zone.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/music\/infinitepool.jpg\" title=\"Infinite Pool\" alt=\"Infinite Pool\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThis recording is designed to stimulate interhemispheric communication between both halves of your brain. You can greatly  assist this process by placing your attention in the center of your  brain. Imagine that the sounds you are hearing are coming from  this central area in your head.<\/p>\n<p>In reality, of course, the source of the sound is coming from your  headphones (or your stereo speakers). But by imagining that the  sound is coming from the center of your head, you create a shift  in perception that allows the sound patterns to work with you in a  more dynamic way. If you find that your mind has wandered from  the impression that the sound is coming from the central area of  your brain, gently bring your attention back to it.<\/p>\n<p>This shifting of attention to the center of your head is very  important.<\/p>\n<p>Each track is identical, though some are a little longer than   others. The average length is around twelve minutes.<\/p>\n<p>It is suggested that you listen to only one track at the beginning  to get used to the states of mind this program produces. Take  a few minutes to rest afterwards and to notice any sensations,  thoughts and\/or feelings that might have arisen.<\/p>\n<p>To take full advantage of the transformative effects of this program, it is suggested that you listen to one track once or twice  a day. Again, take some time afterwards to rest. The time after  intense psychoacoustic stimulation is often the most powerful  and\/or insightful.<\/p>\n<p>You can listen to the tracks either sitting or lying down.  Generally speaking, it is better to keep your eyes closed when  listening to more fully experience subtler mental impressions.<\/p>\n<p>If your experience is too intense for your comfort, turn down the volume. This will instantly decrease the psychoacoustic impact  of the sounds. If discomfort with intensity still continues, stop the  recording. Rest for a few minutes before engaging outer activity.<\/p>\n<h2>Other Listening Protocols<\/h2>\n<p>This recording can be quite helpful when doing inner work,   psychological clearing or while engaged in the exploration of  altered states. Be creative and develop your own methods. The   following are just some suggestions. As with the first listening protocol, these methods will work best if you imagine that the sounds on  the recording are coming from the central area of your brain.<\/p>\n<p>1) Dream Work  The images that arise during the program  often have a dream-like quality to them. Generally speaking, any images or experiences that arise in your mental   experience are the spontaneous expressions of your own  unconscious or super-conscious mind(s). These experiences  can be worked with as you would any other type of dream- material, i.e., journaling, dialoguing, etc.<\/p>\n<p>2) Psychological Insight  This recording can be quite helpful  when engaged in psychological work. Play one track just before  a psychological session and then again directly afterward.   Due to its intense stimulation of the deeper levels of mind,  your experiences may yield helpful insights especially in  regards to suppressed material and\/or the mythological   representation of your psychological state.<\/p>\n<p>3) Psychonavigation  Psychonavigation is a method for moving,  in consciousness, either forward or backward in time, or for  experiencing alternate realities or probabilities. Listening to  this recording while engaged in such work can yield quite  fascinating and helpful material.<\/p>\n<h2>Cautions<\/h2>\n<p>This recording is a powerful psychoacoustic tool and  should be treated with due respect. Used appropriately, this recording will stimulate  exceptional non-ordinary states of mind.<\/p>\n<p>Do not, under any circumstances, listen to this recording in situations requiring alertness, such as driving a car or operating machinery. We are quite serious  about this.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, those persons with a history of epilepsy, stroke or brain   dysfunction should not listen to this recording without approval from a health professional. Finally, any person with a history of schizophrenia or psychosis, as well  as those using psychoactive medications, should seek the guidance of the prescribing  physician before using this program.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tomkenyon.com\/store\/infinite-pool\/\">Return to main Infinite Pool page<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listening Protocol Stereo headphones are required to get maximum effectiveness from this recording.
