Recommended Equipment for Getting Optimal Benefit from the Discover Stillness® Audio Learning Program
NOTE: This CD pushes the limit of current recording and listening technologies. Both the production format of this CD (i.e., computer-written) and the low frequencies used on the CD require proper equipment for optimal effect.
1) Headphones. To get 100% benefit from this program, use headphones so that different tones can be received directly by the right and left ears. You can use inexpensive headphones or simple ear buds (that fit inside your ears) for Levels One and Two. For best results (and especially when using Levels Three or higher), use high-quality headphones to pick up the full range of tones in the technology.
The best headphones will have 40-50 mm drivers and respond to a range of sound from 5 hz for the low notes, to 27 khz for the high notes. The magnet-drivers in these high-quality headphones act like mini sub-woofers, driving the tones and waves deep into your physical tissues, bones and organs. The experience becomes so kinesthetic (felt as vibration in the body) that even deaf people get benefits. Headphones with full ear cupping and lots of padding tend to be the most comfortable. Open-air style headphones are NOT recommended because they cannot produce the lowest octaves.
Playing the audio programs into a room through speakers (ambiently) produces 50% effectiveness from the relaxation technology. Positioning stereo speakers equal distance from each ear results in 75% effect.
2) CD Player. Recommended qualities: CD-R compatible, ESP or anti-shock, bass boost, and programmable. Use the bass boost to increase or decrease the digital tone volume. Use the ESP (or similar anit-skip function) to eliminate separation between tracks. Note: A few CD players will not play computer-written CDs, and will only play those that are "pressed" (which is how most commercial music CDs are produced).
3) Cleaning. There are some faint pops and clicks that are unavoidable, given the various technologies that we have combined to produce this state-of-the-art audio program. However, many distortions can be reduced or eliminated by proper cleaning of the CD player. We recommend cleaning your CD player after every four uses. It takes just a few seconds using a commercial head-cleaning CD available at most stores that sell CDs.
