Barbara Bullard has been the recipient of many teaching awards for inspirational and innovative teaching. She incorporates the principles of the readings into her research and has been a member of A.R.E. for 22 years, as well as serving on their Board of Trustees for Atlantic University. This institution, located in Virginia and founded by Robert Monroe, researches the use of sound patterns to create an identical wave form in both hemispheres of the brain simultaneously. When both the right and left brain are entrained to the same signal by using Monroe's Hemi-Sync tapes, the results are astounding. As the entire brain focuses on one goal, states of super-learning are achieved as well as relief from pain and disease.
Many listeners also report peak experiences of a transcendental nature.
Barbara Bullard began working with students in her classes who were interested in changing many aspects of their lives. Everything from improving test scores to losing weight or giving up smoking was accomplished with the Hemi-Sync tapes. One student confidentially told Barbara that he had AIDS and was disturbed at his declining T-cell count. Since then, other AIDS patients using the tape have reported similar results. On a recent Sightings TV program, the Monroe Hemi-Sync tapes were featured as an amazing tool for the control of pain during surgery.
