To provide an environment of mutual enjoyment and shared rhythms for the child and adult. It is helpful to have 2 or 3 selections of music from each general category of music. There is a wide range of personal preferences in the children and adults you are working with. It is important to find the type of music which is appropriate to use with the child and to have enough variety within that type that you don't have to consistently use the same taped selection. Hemi-Sync Metamusic can assist children in experiencing some very profound differences in the way they physically feel and process information.
Sudden changes can be frightening and can create added resistance.
It may be important to introduce changes involving relaxation and focus of attention gradually. You may wish to begin with this type of music, and gradually introduce music containing the Hemi-Sync signals into the environment. Hemi-Sync also produces a more gradual effect when played over open speakers. Listeners report a much stronger effect when they listen to Hemi-Sync Metamusic tapes through headphones. Thus, a continuum of experiential intensity can be created according to the type of music or sound selected and according to the way it is presented to the listener.
