Hemi-Sync® technology

Hemispheric synchronisation, through sound.

Hemi-Sync® sends precise, slightly different sounds to each ear. The brain responds by synchronising the activity of its two hemispheres, supporting states of deep relaxation, clarity and inner exploration.

Listen with headphones. These are low tones — laptop speakers barely play them, and the binaural effect does not appear at all.

A method, not a belief

Hemi-Sync® asks you to believe nothing. It offers direct experience — audio technologies that support you in exploring your own consciousness, with full respect for your free will.

The Monroe model

The Focus levels — a map of consciousness.

The Focus levels are names for states of consciousness you explore gradually, guided by sound. They are landmarks of your experience, not steps to climb.

  1. Focus10Mind awake, body asleepThe first threshold: the body fully relaxed while the mind stays lucid and alert.
  2. Focus12Expanded awarenessAttention widens beyond ordinary perception: room for intuition, visualisation and clarity.
  3. Focus15The state of no timeThe usual sense of linear time fades; a deep stillness remains.
  4. Focus21The edge between worldsThe body reaches a very deep relaxation while awareness stays awake and able to explore.

Descriptions of what listeners experience, not claims about reality.

The Hemi-Sync guide

Ask, before you set out.

The guide answers from the programme pages and shows its sources. For anything else, a person from the team writes back.

I'm the Hemi-Sync guide. I help you choose a programme or an exercise and show you where my answer comes from.
