At Monroe (Wow!)

The program at Monroe is intense. Hemi Sync™ (binaural sounds under the music that affect brain waves and produce meditative states, some quite deep) taped exercises with headphones in a soundproof (-ish) bed, debrief, taped exercise, debrief, get grounded (food or physical exertion or both), more taped exercises and so to bed. The group of 22 has a collective funny bone a mile wide, good humor and genuine bonding. I have three that are FFLs (friends for life). The Monroe population in general over the years has been split equally between men and women, with over 70 percent having post-graduate degrees.

The exercises take you progressively deeper into your own consciousness, and build in you a tool set that can be used after the program either in a Hemi Sync™ induced state, a similar brain wave state (alpha, etc.) reached without using the tapes, or at street level consciousness.

Already I can see future uses for myself, in healing, problem solving, and life decisions requiring clarity unhampered by emotion.

We will head home Friday, and I will post again soon after that.
