• Please only listen to these tracks in a place where you can safely relax and give them your full and undivided attention. These tracks contain powerful, consciousness-altering sound frequencies, and they should never be listened to whilst driving or operating machinery.
• These recordings are best experienced through headphones. If you choose to play the tracks through speakers, please make sure the speakers have good stereo separation, and be sure to listen in the center of the stereo field.

• Because these tracks use a combination of relaxing and energizing frequencies, it’s best not to listen to them too close to bedtime, otherwise you may find that your mind is too alert to wind down for sleep.  
• In the verbally guided tracks, you will sometimes hear more than one voice speaking at the same time. There is no need to try to focus on each voice – simply allow yourself to comfortably drift between the words.

Profound Renewal can be played on any computer, stereo system, MP3 player, or smart phone.

There is a boundless, irrepressible energy and spontaneity that just about all of us had when we were children.

As a father, I see this every day in my three-year-old son. He might sometimes flop down on a bean-bag, and take some time out to rest during the day, but ten or twenty minutes later, he's bouncing up and down again, running rings around the house and garden, singing songs, and battling dragons.

Whether you can remember it or not, it's very likely that you had a similar kind of energy, vitality, and exuberance in your childhood too.

As we became adults, each of us undoubtedly gained wisdom, perspective, and a deeper knowledge of the world around us, but many of us also lost something. We lost some of our child-like curiosity, some of our sense of fun, and many people today find that they no longer have the same degree of energy and vitality they once had.

Some people carry around stress, tension, and worries, and it makes everything feel like a struggle for them. Other people get caught up in the same rigid routines, the same repetitive thought patterns, which can make everything seem drab and humdrum, and they end up overlooking the beauty, the magnificence, and the fresh possibilities all around them.

But we also know that there are people who retain their enthusiasm, curiosity, and joy throughout their life. People whose eyes twinkle with a sense of mischievous fun. People who can shrug off stresses and irritations, or deal with them with humor and pragmatism. We’ve all met people like this: people who are passionate, loving, and truly inspiring to spend time with.

So the big question is, can you cultivate more of this kind of energy in yourself?

Can you re-access more of your natural, child-like energy and vitality and integrate it into your life as an adult?

The Taoist sages of ancient China certainly believed so. The story goes that rather than living in accord with endless rules and directives, those ancient Chinese mystics used meditation and energy-building practices to cultivate a profound, primal life force, or “chi,” which allowed them to renew themselves, to extend their lifespan, and ultimately to rediscover their natural spontaneity, child-like grace, and equanimity.

My own experience of working with clients as a hypnotherapist is that when people return from a profound state of deep relaxation - especially people who have been stressed or deeply troubled - they look noticeably more healthy, more radiant, and sometimes they even look younger. Their eyes become brighter, their faces become more expressive, and they talk about how they feel completely renewed and re-invigorated.

What’s more, there is a large body of research which shows that taking time out to deeply relax on a regular basis strengthens your immune system, it normalizes your blood pressure, it lifts your mood, it boosts your creativity levels, and it allows you to properly focus and perform at your peak in life.

So, whilst not all of us are able to retreat to a mountain cave for several decades to meditate and cultivate chi, like those ancient Taoist sages, we do have incredible resources available to us in this modern age, which can allow us to deeply relax and renew any time we need to.

And that's exactly what I created Profound Renewal for.

Track 1: Profound Renewal (16 minutes)

A guided meditation with multiple voices designed to significantly enhance your overall energy and vitality.

The benefits of this track are cumulative. You may experience a noticeable boost to your energy levels immediately after listening, but deeper, more long-lasting benefits to your health and well-being will tend to emerge after you've been regularly listening for several weeks.

Track 2: The Ten Minute Recharge (10 minutes)

A supercharged power nap session. You can use this for an instant boost whenever you feel like you need a break.

After listening to this session, users have reported that it felt like they’d been relaxing for much longer than ten minutes, and it was as though they’d just been away on a really enjoyable vacation.

Track 3: Rejuvenation Frequencies (30 minutes)

Nature sounds and brainwave frequencies for relaxation and calm, sustainable energy levels. 

You can listen to this track passively in the background, when working or unwinding after work. You can also use it with eyes closed, as a calmly energizing meditation or as a “mind massage.”

The verbal guidance in the first two tracks of Profound Renewal may be a little bit different from guided meditations you've heard before.

At times you will hear the words coming from the left, from the right, and sometimes as if they’re right in the center of your head.

In places, you will hear two voices speaking simultaneously, each one echoing the other, or offering the same suggestion in different ways.

One of the most important benefits of this approach is that it allows you to give your rational, analytical mind a rest, and it helps you to more completely immerse yourself in the experience you are having.

As you relax and allow yourself to drift between the voices, you'll find that within a few minutes you enter a state of complete absorption and profound rest, and this may happen much more quickly and deeply than you might expect.

In hypnotherapy, this principle of using two simultaneous voices to induce an altered state is referred to as a “double induction.”

Profound Renewal makes use of this principle in new and innovative ways, blending rhythm, rhyme, double meanings, pivot grammar, embedded suggestions, and artful ambiguity, so that the words speak to and resonate with your whole brain. Users of Profound Renewal have reported that they often hear new things and understand the words in different ways, each time they listen.

If you occasionally feel confused as you listen, savor and enjoy that confusion! Those moments are a wonderful opportunity to let go of conscious analysis, to step outside your everyday thought patterns, and to drop into a deeper, more instinctive, more full-bodied experience of now.

These tracks do not contain a step-by-step technique that you need to consciously follow. They are designed to be an evocative, multi-layered listening experience, a rejuvenating, revitalizing “mind-massage” that you can just completely immerse yourself in, whenever you want to take time out to deeply rest and recharge.

Target Brainwave Frequencies

• 40 Hz Gamma Waves – Mental clarity, heightened perceptions, the “binding frequency” of the brain.
• Beta Waves – Calm alertness, concentration, increased motivation.
• Alpha Waves – Deep relaxation, grounding in the here and now, releasing stress.
• Theta Waves – Insights, dream-like imagery, non-ordinary states of consciousness.

Note: Not all of these brainwave patterns are evoked simultaneously throughout the tracks. There are times when beta waves are emphasized, and other times when the focus is on alpha-theta waves. At certain points, the tracks gently oscillate between these frequencies.

Consequently, you may notice yourself shifting from a state of calm focus, down into deep relaxation and rest, and then back to calm alertness again, sometimes several times as you listen (particularly in Track 3 – “Rejuvenation Frequencies”).

This oscillation between the various frequencies is designed to train your brain to be more adept at smoothly transitioning between different states of consciousness.

In time, you may discover that you are entering states of heightened focus and relaxation at will, so that you can instinctively access an optimal state for whatever situation you're in.

Brainwave Entrainment Technology

• Harmonically Layered Binaural Beats – Whereas some brainwave entrainment products only target one brainwave frequency, Profound Renewal contains multiple layers of binaural sound pulses, all harmonically related to one another.

Some researchers have found that this is exactly how these frequencies spontaneously occur in the brain, and the brain may entrain more easily and naturally to frequencies combined in this way.

• Isochronic Entrainment Matrix – A unique method of layering isochronic sound pulses in both the audible range and at the upper and lower frequency ranges of human hearing.

These isochronic beats are “phase-locked” with the binaural frequencies, so that they support and amplify the overall entrainment effect.

• Exhaustive Binaural Encoding – All of the music and background sounds that you hear in the recordings are binaurally encoded with the core entrainment frequencies of the track.

Unlike many other brainwave entrainment programs that just use music or nature sounds to mask the binaural beats, every single sound you hear in Profound Renewal is encoded with consciousness-altering brainwave frequencies.

I'm quite impressed with the whole thing as is. Very nicely done. I've wanted to add a power nap to my entrainment library for a while now, but I've never found one I liked. Problem solved...

My work day is 9 straight hours. Playing this in the background has been a wonderful help during my crazy, busy day. I have also seen how the track affects others that wander into my office. Helps them reduce stress and recharge without them knowing what is going on. 🙂

I was shocked to find that they helped me to sleep a couple of times. Obviously, this was not the intended purpose, but I don't mind when tracks put me to sleep. Interestingly, I woke up feeling very refreshed and then when I went to bed, I was able to fall asleep without any problems. This is unusual for me since a nap usually makes it impossible for me to sleep later on.

I used the rejuvenation frequencies track whilst working and also whilst doing exercise. I felt well energized during these times. The 10 minute supercharger really works. : )
