-When wearing lightframes, have the brightness set at a level you find enjoyable. The more you
use your instrument, the more tolerable to brighter intensities your eyes should become. Like
audio tones, you do not need to have the brightness set at the maximum level for it to be effec-
tive for you.
-To achieve the best possible results, use your system on a daily basis for the first 30 days.
-Wear clothing that is comfortable and loose fitting while doing sessions.
-Make using your system a routine. Try to set aside a specific time and place for you to use
your system.
-Have a goal in mind before beginning a session and say it verbally to yourself. Maybe it is a
problem you need to solve, an idea you need to organize or some stress that needs to be re-
leased.
-Try to draw a mental picture of the goal you have in mind. Try to make it as detailed as possi-
ble. Can you picture the results? During the session, try not to drift from this picture. Try to re-
main focused on your goal and mental picture. Should you find your thoughts drifting, just refo-
cus.
-Keep a blanket or comforter handy. Blood flow to your extremities is reduced during deep re-
laxation and you might find yourself a bit chilled during the session.
-Be aware of how you are breathing. Try to have your breaths come in a deep, regular fashion.
Try this: Inhale (count 1,2,3,4), Hold (2,3,4), Release (1,2,3,4) or mentally say to yourself as
you breathe: Quiet/Cope/Focus.
-Keep a log or journal of your session experiences. After a session, remain still and listen to any
thoughts that come into your mind. Answers do not always immediately surface after a session.
Sometimes they surface hours or even a few days later. Be conscious of this while you go about
your normal daily routine.
-To determine what works best for you, become aware of your energy levels, sleep patterns and
stress levels over the course of the first four weeks.
-Do not be overwhelmed by your light and sound instrument. The more you use it, the easier it
becomes to use. Should you ever have a problem or question, never hesitate to call Michael
Landgraf or Mind Gear directly.
-Please remember: When I first started using a light and sound instrument (an IQ-III in 1985),
there was no one I could call unless I wanted to make a long distance phone call. I still have a
difficult time programming my audio / visual entertainment system. So if I can figure this tech-
nology out, believe me, you can too!
