ContactPresences beyond the body
Sound-laboratory protocols of the 1970s; a 1983 U.S. Army assessment
Leads a staged protocol in which the body relaxes into sleep while the mind stays awake, then carries the practitioner stage by stage past the threshold on layered binaural sound.
Ways in: Binaural entrainment, Incubation, Withdrawal. Every session is carried on binaural sound tuned toward theta, the slow rhythm of the edge of sleep that these rites were built to reach. More on the state.
The laboratories that inspired this rite gave the old states numbers, and the best known of them names the moment when the body sleeps and the mind stays awake. Every rite on this page is reaching for that moment. Here it is approached directly.
