Review of Centerpointe's Holosync

Centerpointe has brought a product to the market, called Holosync, which they claim can bring you into a profoundly deep state of meditation within minutes using the latest innovations in sound technology.

They make bold claims! According to Centerpointe the Holosync tapes/CDs will:

1. Create deep states of meditation.
2. Boost your intelligence and creativity.
3. Slow aging.
4. Create remarkable emotional changes for you at the deepest level.
5. Eliminate stress.

Mighty big statements to live up to!

So, of course, it had to be tested.

Holosync is an ongoing test! Unfortunately it takes several years to complete the entire program. However, beneficial effects are suppose to be immediate and you can stop at any point in the 'emergence' steps while allegedly retaining all the benefits you have received up to that point. 

Their main aim is to produce, within minutes, a deep meditative effect similar to that of a very experienced meditator i.e. a Zen Buddhist monk. Just to outline - the benefits of meditation are a more relaxed inner state, greater emotional & mental control, and increased ability to visualise and self-actualise. In addition to all the benefits outlined it is also an extremely relaxing, fun thing to do. The peace felt in a deep meditative state cannot be induced by the hardest and strongest of drugs. ECC machines have monitored the brain activity of deep mediators and found them to be in alpha, theta and even delta states.

Holosync starts by first directing specific sound frequencies to your brain in order to induce first alpha, then theta and finally delta brain wave patterns. In the delta state you are left for approximately 30 minutes.

Now, the delta state is akin to dreamless deep sleep, although if you are anything like our testers you will still be in a conscious state while listening to the program. It should be noted that delta is 'usually' a very relaxing state to be in. Not so with Holosync (or so we found). Our three testers all found the state to be uncomfortable. But there is a plus side to that.

Centerpointe claim that this effect is completely normal for a small group of people (although we all felt it) and is an indication that old patterns of thought & behaviour are being eliminated from the brain. They claim that the sound frequencies actually reshape the neural pathways of the brain and raise our 'tolerance' level as a result. Okay - sounds like a fancy explanation of meditation to me but after all that is the point!

The technology behind the Centerpointe Holosync audio program is based on the research paper "Auditory Beats in the Brain", published in Scientific American (October 1973), by Dr. Gerald Oster. This paper was itself based on the discoveries, in 1839, of Heinrich Wilhelm Dove, who at the time was an Associate Professor at the University of Berlin. He discovered that when two sounds that are similar but slightly shifted in frequency are presented separately to each ear they will cause a pulsation or beat type effect in the brain. These pulsations are known as binaural beats. Oster took this research further by showing that through the use of these binaural beats the entire brain can become entrained to the internal beat and will begin to resonate to that frequency - thus changing the brain waves of the listener.

This is how Holosync creates the neccessary brain wave activity to bring you into the alpha, theta and then delta states. Until now this was only possible through deep meditation (and after about 25 years of 3-hour daily meditations to learn how to do it!).

Holosync Technology is a must for the dedicated meditator and anyone who wants to embark on daily meditations or personal growth. Even if you have been meditating for 15 years you will get major benefit from this.

Now I have been meditating for years and I do look young for my age (honest) but whether that is the result of my meditative practices or just genetics is a matter of debate. Unfortunately the claim that the program can actually slow down aging is much too hard to prove or even test for that matter (we don't even know why some people age faster or slower than others let alone measure any affect on it).

As for their other claims we can only say that the technology offered in the programs does seem to bring the listener into a deep state of meditation. As a direct result, many old memories and feelings re-surface and seem to dissipate (after a short time of discomfort).

The Holosync program does do what it is designed to do but the length of time needed to reach 'the end of the rainbow' is long. However, you do get immediate benefits from the very first listening and you are not required to finish the entire course of tapes/CDs to retain these benefits.

Conclusion
Holosync is an excellent way to deepen any meditative state. Although Centerpointe did not design the program for visualization purposes, I used it to go into a deep state so that I could visualize more easily. I found that I could produce very vivid images even though I have an auditory memory (I can remember conversations I had years ago but for the life of me can't remember where they took place or with whom unless I happened to mention their name during our talk!).

So, if you want to benefit from a method that delivers instant deep meditation Holoysnc is for you. You must be dedicated enough to spare the time everyday to use the Holosync tape/CD but apart from that no other effort is required. Centerpointe Institute will post to you follow-up newsletters and additional recordings. We found them to be a very professional company offering excellent customer support and advice. Centerpointe offer a full one year no-questions-asked money back guarantee! You can listen to a demo at the Centerpointe homepage and get a free download to get a feel for the Holosync program.

The ongoing trials of the Centerpointe Holosync program indicate that it delivers on its promises (still not sure about it being the fountain of youth though). In the latter stages of the program affirmations, of your choosing, are added to the sound-tracks and 'wow' do they pack a punch. Choose your affirmations wisely because they will become your beliefs!!
This product is highly recommended!!
