| 1 | Schumann for Sleep For effective deep meditation and to improve the onset of sleep. Calms “hyper/chatter” minds. Ideal for those with insomnia who have a busy mind and tense body. Is useful in helping insomniacs sleep (especially those who are physically tense and anxious or have “chattery” minds). It has also been shown to be very successful in helping people with imbalanced circadian rhythms (primarily those with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia syndrome), to get some sleep. The first 10 minutes incorporate dissociation to help dissolve mental chatter. This session may be used for an afternoon meditation. It does not speed up at the end, allowing the user to wake up naturally. Use this session at bedtime and fall asleep while the session is running. Also use this session for a long, deep afternoon meditation. May be used following traumatic events. Evening use (prior to bedtime) is not recommended as the user may get an energy boost an hour or two later. Have a drink of water an hour or more before using this session at bedtime. Have a drink of water before an afternoon session. This session contains HRV for paced, relaxed breathing. | 40 min | 7.8Hz |

| 4 | SMR for Sleep Use to improve sleep for those who have insomnia due to a “racing” mind but relaxed body. Sensori-motor rhythm that suppresses movement and feeling. We produce a great deal of SMR activity within the motor strip during sleep, as SMR activity inhibits the ability to move much or to sleepwalk. Research has shown that SMR brainwave training with neurofeedback dramatically improves sleep in people who have insomnia related to a racing/chatter mind and a relaxed body. May be used during the day but it is primarily intended to be used at night for sleep. Use with eyes closed. It is beneficial to practice breathing for the first 10-15 minutes of the session until drowsiness sets in. | 40 min | 14Hz |
