Amanda-
Contact me to get a free copy of my sleep recording. just part of the celebration for 5,000 members on HypnoThoughts.

One thing I haven't seen recommended on here (and maybe I missed it) is the use of DUAL INDUCTION. I use two voices (both mine) in stereo in many of my recordings, especially my sleep ones. The voices are manipulated on the computer to move around in stereo so that you hear one in one ear and one in the other ear. This allows me to overwhelm the conscious mind and not let it get caught up in my narrative. I have a 12 minute sleep recording that gets way over 90% of the people I give it to, and many of these people are long term insomniacs.

The way I do it, I start with one voice in both ears, then start to move it around, then add the second voice.

My recording has:
2 relaxing voices moving around in stereo
brain wave synchronization for binaural beats (though audacity, which is different than Jacks great explanation)
peaceful music
embedded commands
and...hypnosis.

hope this helps,
Scott

Scott,

The Dual induction is a great add. I have just started playing with this idea and as you said it does overwhelm the conscious mind. It is great to just pepper in "That's right... just let go... and sleeeeeep" and have it moving around from one ear panned across to the other.

Again I like Audacity because it's free and you can continue to layer as many audio tracks as you want. There are also great plugins that let you do the panning.

oops-
when I said audacity, I meant to say "cool edit pro" that has built in brain wave synchronization.

both programs are great, but only cool edit pro has the BWS built in as an option. I use both for different things.

Jack -
Thanks for those excellent instructions. I'm going to see what I can do in Garageband on my mac, as I think Audacity is a windows product.

I'm curious about the binaural beats in general. If I understand correctly, you're saying, Left 100, Right 106 = theta. Left 100, Right 104 = Delta.

Question one: Is that beats per minute?
Two: does it matter which is left/right? why?
What would alpha be?

How do these translate to hz?

Very interested in this. The music I love and use for my personal use is by Jeffrey Thompson, and it's wonderful, but I don't have the rights to use/sell it for clients. (I tried, but my email went unanswered....)
I've found some copy-right free music online which is okay, and I bought some music, but my clients find it a bit, well, funereal. I don't think delta music NEEDS to be boring, but.... anyway, being able to add some background beats may be the solution.
Anyway, many thanks,

Stephanie Voss

Thanks. ,

You can creat your own using Audacity (free software download). I have given Amanda the instruction that I use to create the binaural beats and I will paste them into this message.

Binaural beats can be created in Audacity. If you don't have it go ahead and download it (it's free!!!). Once you have it installed go ahead and open it up and follow these steps.

John,
I didn't click on your link until after I wrote about Jack's instruction. The link not only provided a resource, but more information about the beats.
Once again, your generous sharing makes my life easier.
Thank you!
That's a wonderful link.

Stephanie,
Audacity is not a windows program... just google and you should get places to download it from.
This site popped up for me...

Personally I would recommend doing an instructional version of Betty Ericksons 3-2-1induction. I have used this to fall asleep no problem.

A recording to help someone fall asleep whilst playing it,
is one good idea that seems to be coming forward in this thread.

But there are many variations on sleep problems.

For some people it is simply the task of getting off to sleep in the first place.
fort others, it is having a continuous sleep.
waking up with churning thoughts
and for others it is the quality of the sleep.



I would use an analeptic cycle of suggestions,
tackling all of these aspects.
and then only towards the end of the recording
use a technique which encourages them
to drift off in to a deep relaxed natural sleep.

Following on from some general relaxation/letting go type process,
it might go something like this..

another great benefit of this is that at night,
tonight...
tommorow night,..
and each night from now on..
when you are ready to sleep.
and it doesn't matter what time it is
or what sort of day you have had
you are finding that you are able to snuggle down in bed
making yourself as comfortable as you can possibly be...
and then as you are closing your eyes ready for sleep,
every muscle in your body is relaxing
just as ou are relaxing now,
but even more so
yes your body is relaxing and your mind is relaxing
and with each breath that you are taking in bed,
you are getting more and more relaxed,
more and more tired,
and drifting down, easily effortlessly and naturally
into a wondrful deep relaxed natural sleep
and while you are asleep, your mind and your body are relaxing deeply
and because your mind and your body are relaxing deeply while you are asleep,
so each night, you are enjoying a deeper , a more continuous, and a more refreshing nights sleep
and because each night, you are enjoying
a deeper, a more continuous, and a more refreshing nights sleep,
when you are waking up in the morning,
you are waking up more refreshed, more alert,
waking up each morning feeling more willing and more able
to cope with anythng the new day may bring, being calm relaxed and confident...

blah blah blahh

Hope you find something useful in this..

Love and hugs,

Fable

Scott that one recording I got from you a while back was simply amazing! I'm curious to know if you could divulge how you match up the embedded commands? and what frequency ranges you use in your recordings? Just the other day I started playing with the visual flash feature in brainwave generator while listening to hypnosis recordings and I love the effects so far.

Larry Audacity is a windows program, and a mac osx program and a Linux program. Its available on many platforms.

Jack, that is the coolest thing ever. That binaural rhythm added a missing element to the music I've been using. Now I need to learn how to bounce sounds from ear to ear, then add the vocal effects...the list is endless!

Fable, if you have a fan club I wanna join. If you don't have one, you should. Thank you for the sample script.

Thanks Jackie,

The general format of the script draws a lot from one of my earliest,
and best teachers,
Peter Blythe.

To get the sounds to move around from ear to ear...

try playing around with the envelopes, on audacity.
gradually increase volume on left, as you gradualy decrease volume on right,
don't dcrease it too much though or you will lose the beat.

then vice versa.

there is probably a much easier way,
but I enjoyed playing around and working it out through trial and error.

Love and hugs,

Fable
