ParallaxMind Audio Technology
And Shinka Guided Meditation System
Frequently Asked Questions
Question #1
What is ParallaxMind Audio Technology and how does it work?
Answer: Essentially, how our proprietary ParallaxMind audio technology works is by gently guiding the listener into the deeper brain wave states- while stimulating the nervous system in a very specific way- to entrain the brain and nervous system- pushing the brain to evolve to higher levels of peak performance. An analogy would be to consider how a body builder pushes their body to grow bigger and become stronger with progressive training over time.
The results of entraining the brain with ParallaxMind neurotechnology, delivered to each ear with stereo headhones, creates new nerve connections between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Which in turn, produces more fluid interaction between the two hemispheres of the brain resulting in what is called hemispheric synchronization, or brain synchronization, and allows one to use more of what researchers call our "whole-brain functioning" capacity.
You can think of using more of your whole brain functioning as developing the ability to think and visualize in "3D", with greater perception, awareness, problem solving skills, and ambidexterity, instead of using one more dominant side of your brain, like the majority of human beings do. How one uses one side of the brain, whether balanced or unbalanced in relation to the other side of the brain, and how this relation manifests in the mind and body is called "brain-lateralization".
The benefits of meditating and entraining the brain with ParallaxMind audio are diverse, and can range from:
- Ultra-deep and enriched meditation experiences
- Instant daily stress-relief and relaxation
- Increased creativity and creative output
- The resolution of deep-core unresolved emotional issues, and more balanced emotional health
- The release of self-limiting actions and behaviors
- Increased inner-balance and self-confidence
- Increased motivation, joy, and fluidity of life
- Refreshing, deep restful sleep requiring less time
- The safe and natural creation of new neural pathways between the left and right hemispheres of the brain, that greatly improves communication between the two sides of the brain, and increases whole-brain functioning as a result
- Turning back the clock on aging through the production of neurochemicals including dopamine needed for restful sleep, and the production of Human Growth Hormone (HGH)
- Boosting the "healthy" neurosteroid DHEA for managing stress and reversing the harmful effects of the "unhealthy" stress causing hormone cortisol
- Pleasurable sensations experienced by the release of endorphins in the brain like L-dopamine when meditating in the theta and delta brain wave states
- Increased body awareness and intuition
- Enhanced learning abilities referred to as "super learning" by the neuro-science community... (increased mental focus, memory retention, and recall)
Question #2
What makes Shinka different than Holosync, Hemisync, Brainsync, Brainwave Symphony by Dr. Jeffrey Thompson and the many other brain-entrainment, meditation programs out there?
Answer: The methods used to create each of the above products is different. So what may work great for some, may not work as well for others. It's really a personal choice you have to make for yourself, and you won't know until you try different methods. Every person's neural "brain-wave map", and early life programming is different.
What makes ParallaxMind different? ParallaxMind is a style of brain-entrainment technology designed specifically for guided meditation practice, and advanced mind development by increasing super-learning abilities at accelerated rates, and by tapping into specific brain-wave frequencies and their functions, that guide the listener's brainwaves to correlate with that of zen "zazen" sitting meditation through ParallaxMind audio innovation. Plus, the support materials and documentation that come with Shinka are unqiue to the Shinka meditation system.
Every ParallaxMind brain-entrainment soundtrack is researched and designed to serve a very specific purpose and function, to be used in one's personal growth and cognitive development. There is nothing left to chance when ParallaxMind soundtracks are developed, and I dedicate many days and weeks for the development of each soundtrack. Many of which are researched in focus groups of 100+ people. As a Shinka member, you too can take part in these focus groups as new ParallaxMind soundtracks are prepared for release to the general public.
ParallaxMind Audio technology serves a very specific function unrelated to any other brain wave technology on the planet, that I developed to entrain the brain while the listener meditates at very deep levels. I focus on the specific brain wave frequencies used which is really "the secret" to why it works so well.
In addition, I personally recorded all of the environmental soundtracks that accompany ParallaxMind such as... the mountain wind in the Catalina Mountains in Tucson, Arizona, which included a time-intensive process of mounting huge digitally tuned wind chimes in the boughs of 30 ft. tall pine trees--until I captured the recordings just right in balance with the mountain wind using new 3D microphones technology spatially placed.
These windchime recordings feature eastern modal musical scales including Chinese, Japanese, and Balinese musical modes and scales that influence the aural ambience one could expect listening to temple bells. As well as, the gentle flow of the coastal tide off the shores of Long Boat Key, Florida. Plus, crystalline rolling brooks that flow only two times a year that fill the normally dry washes of the Sonoran Desert. I spare no expense in creating my guided meditation soundtracks, and literally act as a conduit for the transfer of subtle, aural energy that I spend 100s of hours perfecting for the listener's enjoyment and benefit. Observing subtle energies is the essence of using music and sound therapy for healing and spiritual growth.
In my opinion, my program is easier to follow, less expensive, I delve deeper into the origins of meditation, why human beings have been meditating for millenia, and I offer world class customer support. One of the soundtracks also features gently pulsating Isochronic Tones called Parachrons I developed, in addition to "dual layer binaural beat processing" which I solely pioneered to be more gentle on your hearing since you'll be listening to your soundtracks almost everyday. You simply can't get ParallaxMind anywhere else.
Plus, I show you a style of using brain-entrainment technology that has worked for me, continues to work for me, and countless others currently being used in over 52 countries. My system does cost $100s less than other companies like Centerpointe products would to do very much the same thing. Plus, you get 7 highly effective soundtracks, (that is, if you're looking to save a lot of money and at the same time acquire an exceptional mind development tool, to experience ultra-deep meditation, relaxation, advanced mind development, and the melting away of daily stress BEFORE it has a chance to build up over time.)
Question #3
Do I understand Shinka "does" the meditation for me?
Answer: In a sense... yes! Shinka induces deeper brain wave states that influences what neuroscientists call whole-brain functioning and hemispheric synchronization between the left and right sides of the brain automatically, which would normally take one many years to master with traditional meditation methods... if at all! This is a clinically proven statement, and is the basis of how brain-entrainment works.
Why? Because it is the brain itself that creates the rhythmic pulse called a binaural beat within the brain, when two sound waves of varying frequencies are input separately into each ear, that correlate with specific brain-wave states supported by over 30 years of clinical research. The variations are endless. As vast as one's imagination. However, the key is in knowing and understanding the research behind brain-entrainment, applying proven methods, and discovering new approaches that improve the decades of research laid out before us.
Shinka meditation soundtracks are engineered to correlate with deep Zen, sitting states of meditation. Just like when you feel deeply centered and relaxed, effortlessly focused, your mind is perfectly quiet, and you're meditating deeply "in the zone" out in nature, or perhaps a Zen garden.
Shinka is designed to guide you way deeper than is possible for most people to do on their own, and helps you center your brain/mind, and nervous systems automatically. There are actually 3 nervous systems that are influenced by ParallaxMind neuro-technology in the human body. Shinka is very beneficial to people, who especially have trouble quieting their mind, perhaps from worrying, anxiety, too much stress to think straight, information overload etc., when they first learn how to meditate.
And of course, the more dedicated you are to using Shinka the more you will benefit from the system and develop these natural abilites in yourself. Only now you'll have a powerful brain-entrainment tool and meditation system to do it.
A simple way to look at the process is, when the two sides of your brain are synchronized for substantial periods of time during your meditation sessions, the natural results are increased states of what neuroscientists call whole-brain functioning, where you begin to use more of your brain simultaneously, inner balance resulting in increased self-confidence, increased focus and concentration, stress reduction, new connections called neural pathways form naturally between the two sides of your brain to improve cognitive function and cross-communication between the two hemispheres, and much more. This is all explained in the full instructions and documention you get with Shinka.
These potential outcomes are already within you. Shinka simply enhances them in a phenomenal and accelerated way and allows you to function at your peak through the use of meditation science- taking less time than traditional meditation practices can give you on their own. It actually develops these natural abilities in you even more, especially when it comes to increasing your self-awareness (what I believe and know to be one of the most important secrets of life in terms of living the life you want to create for yourself).
These positive and life-sustaining results stay with you even when you stop using it, and you can evolve using ParallaxMind audio technology as high as you want to go in your cognitive development. The more you meditate with Shinka everyday, the more your brain and mind evolve at ever-increasing levels of brain/mind integration. There's absolutely no limit to how high you can take your personal development using this system. Mastering life, or rather learning how to allow life to flow effortlessly, to reduce the amount of pain and suffering we all experience, is ALL about understanding your cognitive development. What stage of development you are at, and inceasing your self-awareness to go, further, higher, wider in one's cognitive development, is one of the master keys to consciously creating one's life because... this journey never ends!
Question #4
Just how safe is this technology? How safe is it to use the Shinka Zen system? Are there any adverse effects?
Answer: Well, if you consider tranquility of mind, elevated happiness, accelerated learning and better
memory, increased self-awareness, improved emotional balance, vivid day-dreams, heightened creativity, expanded consciousness,
self-awareness, and pleasurable euphoric sensations from the release of naturally produced neuro-chemicals in the brain
unsafe in anyway--then please write to me and let me know.
Hundreds of thousands of people the world over are using different types of neurotechnology to enhance their lives and have been doing so for well over 30 years. At this point, there is not even one single occurrence of adverse side effects having been reported or documented by anyone who has faithfully used this kind of brain entrainment technology... just the opposite. (However, it is recommended that people who suffer from epilpetic seizures, or seizures of any kind not use any form of light or sound brain-entrainment devices or soundtracks to prevent triggering an epileptic episode. But this is common knowledge among health care professionals, and most people who suffer from neurological disorders.)
Plus, neurotechnology like ParallaxMind is widely used by health professionals, light and sound therapists, homeopathic practioners, neuro-psychologists, clinical hypnotherapists, doctors, and many other leading researchers in the fields of psychology, neuro-science, and biofeedback.
Question #5
Did you create ParallaxMind technology for the Shinka meditation system yourself Ilias?
Answer: I knew you were going to ask this question and the answer is YES! Creating ParallaxMind audio technology for the Shinka system is a labor of love for me. I draw from my 23 years of meditation practice and the wisdom from the "gurus" I studied. Plus, my college education in cognitive studies, biofeedback, hearing, sound, and speech pathology, music therapy, my 7 years of certified training and clinical experience as a hypnotherapist and neuro-linguistics practioner with the Wesland Institute in Tucson AZ, and my 34 year background as an audio engineer and recording artist to bring you the incredibly rich sound environments, and ambient meditation music I personally crafted and composed for your personal enjoyment.
As you can see I'm highly qualified, and you know I originally created this system for my own personal use to help me make it through, and heal from two, back-to-back open heart surgeries between 2003 and 2006... and I'm a perfectionist so you can be rest assured Shinka is of the highest quality available anywhere. I wouldn't have it any other way, and I would never offer you something that I didn't personally use and benefit from myself. And Shinka is being constantly evolved and updated as new advancements in this field are introduced and I share them with you. After all, that's what the Japanese word "Shinka" means... "evolution"!
I also use a new technique I pioneered called ParallaxMind "dual layer binaural beat processing" in combination with gentle pulsating Isochronic Tones on the 'Clarity & Unity' bonus soundtrack I invented called Parachrons, to make my system one of the most effective and enjoyable brain-entrainment products anyone can use in this industry... while remaining very gentle on your hearing. Since you'll be listening to these soundtracks almost daily, this bit of information is good to know. This is where my training in hearing, sound, and speech pathology paid off as I have an acute understanding of the tiny, fragile little bones of the inner ear, and take the preservation, and protection of my own hearing very seriously, so I can preserve my hearing for a long healthy life of listening to all the wonderful sounds of nature, and the world.
I've encountered in many forums, how some people who've used Isochronic tones with other developers complain about the annoying and obtrusive "helicopter" sounding effects Isochronic tones can have on the listener's enjoyment, and have even give some people headaches. This simple annoyance causes most people to stop using Isochronic tones technology altogether, though Isochronic tones is an exceptional brain-entrainment tool when engineered properly. And ultimately, the majority of developers of these less than desired by-products of poor quality brain-entrainmnet technologies are doing damage to the ears of the listener.
However, this is not the case with my innovative, gentle but effective ParallaxMind and Parachrons audio technologies. Parachrons are virtually transparent and you hardly even notice that they are in the audio. Yet, you will still feel, experience, and benefit from Parachrons effectively.
That's where I draw from my college and clinical education in hearing, sound, speech, and music therapy, and my 34 years as an audio engineer, has allowed me to develop the Shinka system, to be one of the most pleasurable and beneficial meditation systems available on or offline. What very few people know, is the inner ear is made of many tiny little bones that are important to protect--so you can enjoy your hearing well into old age. Its important for developers of binaural beats, and isochronic tones technologies to understand this, and to know which resonant frequencies are the most effective, and still remain gentle on the inner ears. Developers of neuro-technology don't need to "slam" the brain with obtrusive, or disruptive external brain-entrainment stimuli. The brain is very receptive, subtle, and plastic, and will respond adequately to brain-entrainment technology even at very low listening levels.
Question #6
Is Shinka actual software I download on line, or can I get it through the mail on CDs?
Answer: You can download Shinka, which includes the (2) main ParallaxMind soundtracks
required to practice the Shinka meditation System, and (5) additional ParallaxMind free bonus soundtracks,
all formatted as high density, 320 Bitrate MP3s to your desktop, where you can use it anytime you want to. 320
Bitrate formatting is the highest possible quality for formatting MP3 files available today, and all Shinka
soundtracks are produced entirely in the digital domain... there is 0% quality loss during any audio file transfers.
This makes it very easy to download, and access the software when you need it, and you will also receive a limited
use license so you can burn a personal copy to CDs or load the soundtracks into your personal MP3 player like an iPod
or an iPhone, so you can take Shinka with you wherever you go.
Or, play the software directly through your web browser, or MP3 Media Player like iTunes, or Windows Media Player right on your computer immeditately after download.
You can also have the full CD quality version of the Shinka system mailed to you. You can request it by contacting us here. Please note: there is an additional $30.00 one-time charge for the physical CDs version, plus the cost for shipping to your location invoiced to you via PayPal. (I recommend downloading the software and burning your own single use copy onto CDs as provided by the personal use license included with your Shinka download.)
Question #7
Why is it important to use stereo headphones with my ParallaxMind soundtracks?
Answer: Listening to your ParallaxMind MP3s with any other method other than stereo headphones will
greatly diminish the ParallaxMind technology's effectiveness. Our proprietary ParallaxMind technology is engineered
by channeling very specific tones within the stereo field input into each ear. The effect of our technology focuses
on precise areas of the brain which will influence greater vibratory fluctuations in the brain, giving your brain
the exact stimulus it needs to resonate at higher levels of functioning. Listening to your ParallaxMind soundtracks
in any other way will have little to no effect at all and will defeat the purpose of listening to your soundtracks.
Question #8
Since I will be listening to my ParallaxMind soundtracks almost everyday, how can I reduce listening fatigue to protect and preserve my hearing?
Answer: This is a very good question. To begin with, Solexus Health Systems director and founder Ilias Glenis,
has pioneered a new process called "dual layer binaural beat processing". This process enhances the effectiveness and
preciseness of the calibrated audio signals and carrier waves, (down to 0.00125/1000 of a cycle per second), found at the
core of our revolutionary ParallaxMind audio. As a result, this innovation minimizes listening fatigue for the
listener, by enabling the user to listen at lower volume levels, while increasing the "potency" of the carrier wave at lower
frequencies which is why ParallaxMind produces such an effective response in the brain. No other company in the neurotechnology
field is doing this! (See Question #4 above.)
What you can do to virtually eliminate listening fatigue at home:
- Adjust the volume level to your liking that is comfortable. The ParallaxMind technology embedded in the sound track will provide the desired stimulus at lower volume levels. Even users who've been diagnosed with hearing loss can safely experience the effects of our ParallaxMind technology due to it's "vibratory" stimulus on the inner ear and specific parts of the brain.
- You can also adjust the equalizer on your stereo to reduce listening fatigue as this will allow you to shape your sound to a comfortable listening level. The most important aspect of adjusting the sound is "feeling" the lower tones to produce the most optimum result of the ParallaxMind technology and at the same time, reduce listening fatigue to preserve your hearing.
Question #9
What kind of CD/MP3 player should I use?
Answer: Most conventional CD/MP3 players will playback MP3 files fine, yet the better quality equipment you use, the better overall experiences you will have with your ParallaxMind soundtracks. We recommend using a quality CD/MP3 player with sufficient bass response and headphones that will reproduce lower frequencies more accurately. However, if your CD/MP3 player has a "Bass Boost" feature, we recommend turning it off as ParallaMind audio is optimized for high-quality stereo heapdhones.
If you are using ear bud style headphones with poorer bass response, experiment with your player's equalization settings until you're able to subtly feel the bass response of the ParallaxMind audio tones, at a comfortable listening level.
Question #10
How often can I listen to my ParallaxMind soundtracks? Can I listen to more than one session per day, and will this accelerate the effects of ParallaxMind audio technology even more?
Answer: During the first three months of Shinka Level 1, it is recommended that you allow enough time for your nervous system to adapt to the powerful stimulus we are giving it with the ParallaxMind technology.
However, once your brain adapts and gains a higher tolerance level to the stimulus, you may add an additional one hour session to your personal growth regimen as you see fit- after this three month period. Preferably, dividing time between each one hour session into two distinct sessions. (Example: Listening for one hour in the morning when you wake, and one hour before you retire each night.)
Most people find that one daily, one hour listening session is sufficient until they are ready to begin the next level of the program approximately 3-4 months after beginning Shinka Level 1. We will also make mention of this process in the bi-weekly support letters you will be receiving every two weeks.
Of course the more stimulus we give your nervous system the more impact it will have on the overall outcome. However, the desired outcome we are striving for in the Shinka Guided Meditation System is to allow the neurology of your brain and nervous systems enough time to naturally adapt to the ParallaxMind stimulus. Liken this to a weight lifter or track athlete who pushes their body too hard and consequently "over trains", not allowing enough time for their body to recuperate and adjust.
After about 3 months, when you begin to sense the effects of the current level of the ParallaxMind technology you are using, (in this case Shinka Level 1) and the stimulus being less than when you first began the program, you can at that time choose to participate in the next level of the program Shinka Level 2. Essentially, this is how you evolve through the course of the program and sense you are ready to continue to the next level... by inducing deeper states of whole brain functioning, increasing your overall awareness, experiencing brief periods of cathartic release and healing deep core aspects of self, by processing the unconscious material that comes into your conscious awareness, hence evolving and reorganizing your brain at higher levels of functioning as you "move through" the Shinka system. ParallaxMind audio technology truly is an amazing mind development tool, and offers the participant exciting, unique, and revolutionary personal discoveries.
Question #11
When is the best time of day to listen to my Shinka soundtracks?
Answer: We've found that the best time to listen to the ParallaxMind sounbdtracks is in the morning when you first wake up. The reason for this is due to the burst of energy you can experience after meditating with our soundtracks.
However, some participants find that listening to the soundtracks before retiring at night also helps them relax and drift off into sleep easier, and maintain restful sleep throughout the night.
As stated earlier, each participant will respond to the Sinka meditation system differently so it really is a matter of how you personally respond and what you find to work best for you. After two weeks of meditating with Shinka, you will discover your own personal listening schedule, especially when you take the time to fill in the Dreamweaver Personal Journal to observe and reflect on your personal bio-rhythms for the first 30 days.
Question #12
Can I use the Shinka Guided Meditation System along with my other personal growth tools and self-help programs?
Answer: Absolutely! We highly recommend and encourage you to incorporate the Shinka system along with your other self-help pursuits because ParallaxMind brain entrainment technology will ultimately aid in accelerating any other type of personal growth technique you use as you evolve through our program. The reason for this is, obtaining the deeper brain wave states with our ParallaxMind technology will accelerate your learning aptitude and memory retention, as well as, greatly enhance whole brain functioning which will improve your life on all levels being physically, mentally, and spiritually. By all means ... go for it! Please keep in mind that we only recommend using one neurotechnology program for inducing deeper brain wave states although there are other programs out there. The reason for this is explained in question 10) above, which describes what can happen when you overtrain the brain with any kind of binaural beats neurotechnology.
Shinka is 100% Compatible With ANY Personal Growth Program You Are Currently Using - No matter what personal growth program you may be currently using like yoga, tai chi, qigoing, or martial arts, you can integrate it seemlessly with Shinka. Shinka literally enhances anything you're already doing as it stimulates greater energy flow throughout the brain and nervous systems, and literally "opens up" the nadis as a kind of "internal acupressure" that stimulates your brain and nervous systems from the inside out.
You will soon discover that the Shinka Guided Meditation System is the only neuro science technology you will ever need to accelerate your personal growth regimen when using this kind of mind development tool. The reason is because of the potentcy ParallaxMind brain-entrainment audio delivers at lower carrier waves. At Solexus Health Systems, we're confident that our program is superior to many if not all of the similar neurotechnology programs on the market today, and the competitive edge is not necessarily what we're striving for. On the contrary, we're striving for the creative edge to provide us with exceptional mind development tools that really do what we claim they do, and developing the mind and cognitive functions that ParallaxMind and related tools are designed to deliver to the end user.
Question #13
How long until I will experience noticeable results from using the Shinka meditation system and ParallaxMind audio technology?
Answer: Since every person who listens to ParallaxMind audio is unique, the time frame for experiencing noticeable results will vary from person to person. In general, you will begin to experience the natural effects our ParallaxMind stimulus will have on your nervous system within 3-14 days. These effects may manifest as states of euphoria, feelings of joy, nostalgic memories, vivid cinematic dreams, as well as, feelings of restlessness, emotional catharsis, and a host of other effects unique to each individual.
It is important to realize that there are no "right or wrong" experiences and to simply let whatever experiences you have let happen. The more you are able to develop a witnessing posture to whatever happens, the easier it will be to evolve through the program thus increasing your self-awareness. Essentially, as the unconscious programming you learned early in life comes into your conscious awareness, and is "exposed to the light" as it were, you enhance your capability to "let whatever happens be as it is in the now". As a now, more conscious observer and "witness" to what is going on within and around you without self-judgement, judgement of others, or being so attached to any one particular outcome, you will spend less time resisting change and allowing the natural, effectual phenomenon of ParallaxMind audio technology to work for you in your life and usher your inner states of mind into ultra states of self-awareness--that will manifest in your outer world.
This will happen as former "unconscious" and incongruent aspects of self come into alignment and reconcile at a higher, more integrated level of cognitive function and perception of self relative to your previous world view and your place in it. As a result, you gain an ever-increasing ability to create greater flow and fluidity in your life no matter what unexpected changes the world may bring your way. Most of these natural, causal effects are a result of inducing whole-brain functioning through the process of synchronizing the two hemispheres of the brain with ParallaxMind audio technology progressively over-time. Which in turn, creates greater coherence of all 5 physical senses, that in my opinion opens the gateway to increasing one's higher 6th senses like intution, empathy, compassion, and psychic abilities. No, I'm not talking about predicting the future, but rather increasing one's psychic skill sets through what neuro-researchers call "coherence" and "neuro binding".
Notice how I refer to "self" throughout the previous explanation... which is why the time frame for noticing positive changes within your "self" varies from person to person. The amount of time necessary for one to experience significant changes with any personal growth program, is their own willingness to do the necessary work, and have the courage to "walk through" the process necessary to experience any real transformative change. It really is up to each individual to decide "consciously" how high, far, and wide one desires to go in their personal development. ParallaxMind audio and the Shinka Guided Meditation System are merely tools one can use to assist in the process of self-discovery, and for stimulating accelerated, evolutionary growth in the spirit/mind/brain/body, and by assisting in the process of mastering meditation. Albeit these are highly effective tools, and I recommend highly they be used according to the program instructions for the most optimal results and benefits.
Very few human beings alive today fully understand, that it is your "inner states of mind" that "reflect your outer world". In other words, what you are experiencing "outside of you" is a reflection of what is going on "inside of you", primarily your thought patterns, inner self dialog, and behavioral action patterns, hence... your early life programming. Becoming aware of this little known, secret jewel of life, is why we offer the option of adding your own personally chosen, positive affirmations encoded with Autonomix Quiet Affirmations Audio beginning with Shinka Level II, which is a very powerful tool for shaping one's thought patterns and inner self-dialog with conscious desire, passion, and intention. In this way, YOU become the author of your future life path, and can avoid being stuck in the past of your early life programming, which you can attribute to the current life you may be living. Its all in there, your early life programming. Its simply a matter now of awakening to the fact that the current state of your life, is a result of your programming running on auto-pilot up to this point, while operating on software programs that were "programmed into you", mostly unconsciously which is simply a fact of life as we are dependent on our parents, care-givers, teachers, mentors, etc. when growing up.
Now, you have at your disposal, extremely powerful tools to create your own physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual life programming and author the "exact life" you desire with our revolutionary and powerful mind development tools. So I answer this question with another question... "What are you going to do with these tools?" The answer is limited only by the states of your own mind and imagination, and the willingness you have to put in the neccessary work, and take the necessary actions to effect your desired outcomes.
Question #14
If I experience periods of catharsis, what can I do to better process any emotional change?
Answer: For a more thorough discussion of what catharsis is and how to handle these potential experiences, please refer to the bi-weekly support letters you will begin receiving via email, 14 days after you receive your ParallaxMind soundtracks.
The support letters are also included in your Shinka download, for you to review as you progress with the Shinka system. Its important to refer to the support letters every 14 days with dedicated use of your Shinka soundtracks, as you will begin to notice a synchronicity happening with your daily meditations, and the potential outcomes you are apt to experience when you meditate with your Shinka soundtracks per the program instructions regularly.
Its important to note that cathartic periods are natural, safe, and an essential part of evolving through the program. And once you come through the other side, you will become a new improved creation. Emotional catharsis is a natural part of life, and any upheaval can be processed with conscious observation and practice, to deliver you to the other side of your self-development goals.
In the support letters, I outline powerful and effective methods for handling temporary periods of catharsis. In addition, it's possible that participants will seldom experience extraordinary periods of catharsis at all.
However, the ParallaxMind stimulus is designed to stimulate and accelerate advanced stages of cognitive development, and cortical evoked response to the brain, so we have developed our support letters to better serve you for handling catharsis if it occurs. All in all, you will learn to embrace catharsis and process it as you inherit greater life coping skills using the Shinka system. As emotional catharsis is an indicator that some level of positive change is being influenced, and happening beneath the current awareness level of your conscious radar.

Question #15
How often can I take a break from listening to my ParallaxMind soundtracks?
Answer: We recommend listening to your ParallaxMind soundtracks in intervals of no less than 9 days, and taking no more than 1-2 day breaks in between to attain the most optimal results of the program, and to allow your nervous system quality time to adapt to the brain stimulating effects of the ParallaxMind technology.
Its important to realize, the more self-disciplined you are in "pushing through" longer intervals, the more successful you will be in accomplishing your desired goals with the Shinka Guided Meditation System. The main reason for this is because you will evolve through core issues that surface for you on a conscious level "faster" than taking frequent breaks as a result of your unconscious "stuff" coming into your awareness, while allowing your new awareness to shift into view. Hence the term "The ParallaxMind Effect", which is where the name ParallaxMind is derived from.
Participating in the Shinka Guided Meditation System is a courageous endeavor, and if you are a current member, I would like to take the time to commend you for making the Shinka Guided Meditation System an important part of your personal growth regimen, and for doing any kind of personal growth work. It takes a great deal of courage to do this kind of work, but the rewards are life-altering and priceless.
Question #16
Why is it important to complete the "Dreamweaver Personal Journal" for the first thirty days?
Answer: Your "Dreamweaver Personal Journal" is an essential tool in beginning the process of becoming "the witness" to your own personal growth experience with the Shinka Guided Meditation System. You may continue your daily journalizing with the "Dreamweaver Personal Journal" indefinitely, but we highly recommend completing the journal for the first 30 days once you start the program to accelerate your learning experience in how the Shinka system will influence you on a day to day basis.
Once you begin to master witnessing your experience with the "Dreamweaver Personal Journal", and how you personally respond to the Shinka meditation soudntracks, you will gain a better sense of how the program will work for you and the subtle nuances and perceptions that will be unique to your own personal development.
Becoming a curious observer of the self, based on practicing non-attachment, is an exercise that is practiced in many if not all contemplative, reflective, and traditional forms of practicing meditation. This practice is implemented in a more concise way by "gauging" one's observable experiences with the "Dreamweaver Personal Journal". This pracitce is very useful when observing your daily bio- and circadian rhythms/experiences for the first 30 days when practicing with your Shinka guided meditations, and beyond if you choose to continue your journaling journey.

"Within 2 days I was able to sleep without taking any tablets..."
"Hello Ilias,
I hope you are keeping well and motivated.
Just wanted to give you some feedback as well as pose some questions as I am now on day 14 ( plus 2 days off ) of the guided meditation.
Within 2 days I was able to sleep without taking any tablets. I had been taking sleep aids for the last 18 years ( over the counter, diazepam and valerian root ). Im getting deep, refreshing and mostly uninterrupted sleep every night now - thank you.
Within 4 days - increase in libido and being able to handle stress a little better. Increased energy, motivation and feeling a little more positive about things.
I'm noticing that I seem to be increasing muscle mass quicker than in the past.
I guess it will take longer for the weight loss to happen ( I run, do yoga plus Qi gong ), but I feel certain it will happen as mine is down to stress and stress induced hormonal imbalance, and these are early days.
Wishing you blessings and abundance, Mahnaz"

"Hello Ilias,
Many thanks for your comprehensive and very informative response. I found it really fascinating and am already becoming excited about the many levels of Shinka meditations.
I'm really pleased that I can do the meditations whilst on the move as it enables me to be consistent and also make better use of time. Thanks also for the link on coherence, it broadened my understanding. I liked what you said about 'feeling promptings from God to make changes', as this is how I observe life and its experiences including setbacks.
I'm feeling better in that respect because I'm beginning to be able to pause before I react / respond to things ....whereas previously I would rush ahead of myself. In addition, since starting the Shinka meditation I feel more compassionate.
There are days when I feel anger which comes out of nowhere and I know that this is similar to detoxing.
Please feel free to use my feedback as a testimonial and to this end, I will keep you updated on new observations.
I would greatly appreciate the report on how Autonomix works and thank you in advance for it.
Be blessed, be safe Ilias."

"Hello Ilias,
Thank you for your reply and specifically for sharing with me your insights. I found it really interesting. I believe your prayers are working because on Friday / Saturday, my mind came around to thinking what you have just shared with me - and that was without even seeing your e-mail.
I will follow your fantastic advice and it really is that. All my life, I've had thoughts and ideas, revelations/insights....but could never put it into words--and you have just done that.
Its a strange but nice feeling that you know what Im going through and also that you are able to guide me through it. Thank you for your prayers Ilias - I hope they go up to Heaven and shower down upon you in the form of blessings. I will be in touch, this is an interesting journey.
Mahnaz"
