We do not claim that these recordings treat or cure any psychiatric or medical condition, per FDA regulations. We certainly love them for personal growth processes and relaxation when cautions that apply to any relaxation or personal growth process are heeded. Many people find that these recordings can enhance processes for body awareness, energy awareness, relaxation, and visualization. However, they are most consistently helpful when the process is guided rather than free-form. Guidelines and sample exercises come with each recording.
Many people report that sound is more compelling than eye movement or tapping.
Also, sound can be enjoyed throughout the process. Listeners have reported they prefer sound because they are not distracted by eye movements. Some close their eyes to be more fully immersed in the process they are experiencing. Listeners usually report a much more rapid achievement of relaxation, body awareness, energy awareness, visualization and reverie in related processes than they have come to expect without the use of an alternating bilateral stimulus. One user, a psychologist, told us that he used UpLevel each morning as part of an EMDR-inspired meditation process.
