Sleeping Through The Rain

Originally Released: 1990

Into The Deep

Originally Released: 1994

Sleeping Through The Rain and Into The Deep are 30 minute ambient instrumentals created by Matthew Sigmon and Julie Anderson for The Monroe Institute's Metamusic catalog.  The recordings are embedded with TMI's patented Hemi-Sync audio signals, designed to facilitate synchronization between the two hemispheres of the brain.

While the marketing of the titles is handled exclusively by TMI, the recordings resulted from Matthew's experiments with looping guitar textures in the early 90's.  The combination of these ambient compositions and the embedded Hemi-Sync signals has resulted in a wealth of anecdotal and empirical evidence that confirms their extraordinary effectiveness as an aid in relaxation, meditation, pain relief and recovery.

Reviews and comments:

I bought [Sleeping Through The Rain] for my mother after attending the Gateway Voyage Program... I wanted to share with her the incredible peace I 'float' into every time I meditate with the methods learned at the Institute. Skeptical as she is, I felt listening to 'regular' music (but with added Hemi-Sinc) would be a gentle introduction for her. She absolutely loves this CD and hears it every single night! She even swears it helps her de-stress, and during a recent Pre-Op had me run home for it to help her relax. She boasted to the doctor about the power of the music, and how she wished it were common procedure for all patients before operations!

"I loved “Into The Deep” by you and Julie. That’s somewhat of an understatement, though I’d have a hard time describing the effect it had on me... Believe me when I say it’s the most moving and visually stimulating music I have ever heard. Very organic, wonderfully layered with a deep ambiance. Even after a few years of listening it doesn’t feel old."

Really Helped
I had a period of time where I could not seem to shut out the day and sleep. A physical therapist recommended this as a possible solution. It worked and now I pull out this CD whenever I cannot drift off.

Music To Relax
wonderful music to create a relaxed atmosphere (Hemi-Sync technology to balance and focus the brain)

One Of The Best...
This is one of the best CD from Hemi-Sync series. Great for relaxation and dreaming.

from Music and Metamusic - A Universal Bridge
Because of the strong connection between our auditory nerves, thymus glands and immune systems, certain types of music have proven to be a powerful aid in healing. I experienced this first hand when I later played some of the “special” music for one of my students, Aaron, who was in the hospital dying of AIDS-related complications.

I took three “special” CDs, Inner Journey, Sleeping Through the Rain, and Cloudscapes to the hospital. I left them with Aaron’s mother, instructing her to put on the music whenever Aaron needed sleep or relief from pain. Days later on my second visit, I was greeted by a nurse who asked where she could purchase the “miracle music” for the hospice wing. The nurse said that as long as the music was on Aaron needed no morphine.

I went into Aaron’s room and quickly learned that this “special” music is something more than ordinary music. As we talked, the music ended. Within five minutes, I noticed a ripple of pain several inches wide spreading from Aaron’s face all the way down to his toes.
“Is the music off?!” he screamed.
“Yes,” I said as I restarted the music.
“I told them not to turn it off. It doesn’t hurt when the music is on,” Aaron told me.
In less than 10 minutes Aaron’s pain eased.

Aaron’s favorite “special” music was Sleeping Through The Rain...
Should it be surprising that music could have such an impact on Aaron? Or on me? I don’t think so.

From The Monroe Institute website:

The Monroe Institute, founded by Robert A. Monroe, is internationally known for its work with audio sound patterns that can have dramatic effects on states of consciousness. Monroe observed, during his early research, that certain sounds create a Frequency Following Response in the electrical activity of the brain.

Those observations led to some remarkable findings dealing with the very nature of human consciousness. Researchers learned specific sounds could be blended and sequenced to gently lead the brain to various states ranging from deep relaxation or sleep to expanded states of awareness and other “extraordinary” states. This compelling research became the foundation of a noninvasive and easy-to-use “audio-guidance” technology known as “Hemi-Sync.”

The audio-guidance process works quite simply by sending different sounds (tones) to each ear by stereo headphones. The two hemispheres of the brain then act in unison to “hear” a third signal-the difference between the two tones. This is not an actual sound, but an electrical signal that can only be perceived within the brain by both brain hemispheres working together. The result is a focused, whole-brain state known as hemispheric synchronization, or “Hemi-Sync”-an optimal condition for improving human performance.

Specific combinations of Hemi-Sync signals, for example, can help individuals achieve laserlike focus and concentration. Different Hemi-Sync signals are used to facilitate profound relaxation, expanded awareness or other desired states. Depending on the intended goals, music, verbal guidance or subtle sound effects are combined with Hemi-Sync to strengthen its effectiveness. Users remain in total control as these recordings do not contain subliminal messages.

Hemispheric synchronization does occur naturally in daily life but typically only for random, brief periods of time. Hemi-Sync can assist individuals in achieving and sustaining this highly productive, coherent, brain-wave state.

Robert Monroe’s work inspired an entire industry of mind/brain products. After decades of research, and thousands of lab sessions, the extraordinary Hemi-Sync process remains unparalleled in its ability to assist us in harnessing our human potential. There are now scores of tapes and CDs incorporating Hemi-Sync for a wide variety of applications.
