You may know how it feels to have really ?good? sleep?the kind of rest that makes you feel energized and refreshed once you awaken. But is there a reliable way to enter into a state of pure relaxation whenever you want? There is?with Deep Rest, the new CD from psychoacoustic pioneer Tom Kenyon. This program brings listeners two proven harmonic tools to quickly and efficiently access a state of tranquil rest. Using the first track, ?The 24-Minute Nap, ? listeners experience a gentle descent from the brain states of the aware mid-alpha, down to low delta, and then back to full, relaxed alertness. The second track, called the ?22-Minute Vacation, ? employs guided imagery and brain-wave entrainment to carry listeners away on a short, invigorating trip to an imaginary sanctuary.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Provides Relaxation at Conscious and Unconscious Levels,
This review is from: Deep Rest (Ultimate Brain) (Audio CD)
Psychoacoustic pioneer Tom Kenyon has created an innovative CD with three tracks designed to relax the body and mind in specific ways. The first track is called The 22 Minute Vacation. According to Kenyon this fantasy vacation utilizes complex psychoacoustic tonal patterns and multi-sensory experience to generate deeply rejuvenating states of body and mind.
The second track, The 24 Minute Nap, was created specifically for those times when you may feel sleep deprived or need a quick period of rest. Kenyon recommends listening to this track with stereo headphones, making sure that you will be undisturbed for at least 30 minutes. The last track is called Sweet Delta and this 46 minute track uses soothing psychoacoustic music combined with low delta frequencies to encourage a deeper state of rest or sleep. It can be listened to by itself or immediately following the 24 Minute Nap track. If you are experiencing a "stop the world--I want to get off" mindset, you can play all three tracks back to back. You'll need at least an hour and a half to listen to all three tracks, and it's strongly recommended that you are not interrupted during this time. Kenyon notes that if you hear unusual sounds, this is entirely normal. These pulses are frequencies that help the brain and mind enter into more relaxed and receptive states. Other sounds may be specific tonal patterns and frequencies that are just below the threshold of conscious hearing. The other day, I was feeling tired and decided to try out this CD. As recommended, I laid down on the bed with my feet partially elevated, and put on a stereo headset. I believe I fell asleep sometime during the first track, because I don't remember much past the first few minutes! I woke up feeling refreshed, peaceful and centered. My husband tried this CD last night, but he said he was awakened by Kenyon speaking on the track. My husband is a pretty sound sleeper, so I was surprised that he was awakened by anything, let alone vocalization. After he was awakened, he took off the headphones and went back to sleep. However he did say that he awakened feeling quite refreshed. I look forward to trying the 22 Minute Vacation by itself, for those times I need some quick stress release, and plan on using this CD again for relaxation. If you are looking for soothing ambient music, or have trouble sleeping or relaxing, Deep Rest by Tom Kenyon provides restorative and rejuvenating acoustics that will reach your body and mind on both the physical and mental plane.

"The 24-minute nap" quickly gets me off to sleep,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Deep Rest (Audio CD)
I wasn't very taken by the first track, the 22-minute vacation, since I'm a bit disenchanted with that sort of guided meditation. But I have occasionally felt quite refreshed after listening to it. Sometimes I fall asleep while listening to it (which is what I'm interested in), sometimes not.
I generally fall asleep quite quickly when listening to the second track, the 24-minute nap. It is also quite enjoyable to listen to, as is the third track, Sweet Delta. These two latter tracks must stimulate some centres in the brain connected with pleasure. Once I woke up in the middle of either track 2 or 3, and felt listening to the music to be extremely pleasant, almost euphoric. It was a state I hadn't experienced before, not exactly like that anyway. Re Sweet Delta, I've only tried once to get to sleep while listening to it (without head phones) and it didn't really work. It's the track that is specifically designed to help you get a good night's sleep. But then I was excessively tired, as it was 7 in the morning and I hadn't got to sleep yet. All in all, I'm quite content with this CD, since the 24-minute nap works for me. So I feel I can recommend it as one well worth buying, if you need help with sleeping or relaxing.
