Description
- Natural Hearing Improvement Series Level 4 on microSD card (4 albums, 6 hours of music)
- USB adaptor, so you can transfer files from microSD card to your computer
- Specialised Advanced Workbook for Listening Pleasure
This program is the next step in the Natural Hearing Improvement Series, after completing the Level Three Audio Activation Program. It delivers a stronger level of filtering plus new recording techniques, including nature sounds, to enhance long-term auditory awareness and sensory integration.
Our Sound Therapy programs are now provided on microSD card so that you can load the music onto any device you wish, such as a phone, computer, tablet or music player such as iPod or MP3 player—as long as the device will play WAV files. Instructions for uploading the music from the microSD card are found in our FAQ section on our website.
Natural Hearing Improvement Series Level 4: Listening Pleasure Program
Intended for use after Level 3 of the Natural Hearing Improvement Series, this program introduces new techniques not previously used in Sound Therapy recordings.
- The music is blended with nature sounds, giving you the calming emotional impact of being in nature amongst frogs, birds and running water, the natural environment our ears have evolved to enjoy.
- Selections specifically designed to create integration between different brain pathways and sensory systems.
- Within each recording, the high frequencies are subtly augmented without disrupting the enjoyment of the full sound.
Those of you who used our old Full Spectrum will know the story of how Patricia Joudry developed this technique to give the pleasure of listening to the ‘full spectrum’ of music combined with the benefit of highly filtered Sound Therapy. This means you can enjoy the rich base sounds without missing out on the high frequency brain stimulation. In fact this combination has unexpected benefits for the whole nervous system, as all our receptive centres are stimulated at once, in effect combining the spiritual and physical responses.
We are now able to integrate the process of high and low within the same piece of music. This means you will not audibly hear the high tracks, but they are still there. In addition we have now combined it with nature sounds, giving you the calming emotional impact of being in nature amongst frogs, birds and running water, the natural environment our ears have evolved to enjoy.
The dual stimulation of high and low is also the ultimate massage and maintenance program for the ear, letting the ear muscles continually cycle through their full range of movement. Therefore it is a powerful program to support and maintain optimum ear function for the long term.
Why is this Program important?
Research on brain plasticity and Sound Therapy shows that:
- Awareness is enhanced by multi-sensory input
- Natural sounds are soothing and calming to the nervous system
- Random sound events enhance attention
- Hearing perception is improved by brain stimulation
- Pleasurable sounds are more beneficial.
The Music
This program consists of 4 albums, each approximately 80-90 minutes in length.
Album 1 Full Spectrum Awareness
Haydn Cello Concerto, Monn Cello Concerto, Mozart Serenade for 13 Wind Instruments
In this album the music is presented in integrated Full Spectrum, so a very highly filtered version of the same music is gradually added into the full spectrum sound. This gives added stimulation very subtly, so the full tonal depth of the music can be appreciated while still benefitting from high frequency filtration. Due to your experience with earlier programs, your ear will now respond to this subtle addition. Gradually introduced nature sounds add to the sense of blissful relaxation.
Album 2 Full Spectrum in Nature
Mozart Concertante, Mozart Quintets
This album uses similar techniques again to the first album but with a greater intensity introduced through the Full spectrum filtering and the integration of the natural sounds.
Album 3 Opening to Full Spectrum
Mozart Flute Concerto, Bach Suite, Gluck Theme from Orphée and Eurydice, Crussell Divertimento, Barth Divertimento, Rameau Wind Quintet
In this album the addition of high band sounds is consistent throughout, giving a continuously stimulating activation of the ear and the brain’s auditory centres. In addition the whole music is processed with the Electronic Ear, adding muscular stimulation to the mix.
Album 4 Nature’s Energy
Gluck Flute Concerto, Boccherini Flute Concerto, Mozart String Quartet, Haydn String Quartet, Dittersdorf String Quartet, Vanhal String Quartet
This album introduces a triple mix, where the high band of sound is both incorporated within the whole music and also added in a completely different music track, which you may notice intermittently. This not only stretches the auditory apparatus, but invites the attention to expand on a new level, further enhancing the subtleties of good listening. All this is accompanied by a symphony of nature sounds, to add a sense of belonging and harmony to the whole experience.
Also in your package
Headphones
Sennheiser Open Earbuds are included in this package. These deliver the good quality sound required for the program. They are suitable for Sound Therapy as you can still hear surrounding sound while wearing them, meaning you can use the program during normal daily activities, including having a conversation or watching TV.
Workbook for Listening Pleasure
The Listening Pleasure Workbook invites you to practice a series of listening awareness exercises which will enhance not only your sensory integration but your social integration with others whom you care about. Listening is the essence of how we connect with others and express our love and understanding. Without the ability to listen, we are isolated and unable to make those deep human linkages that give meaning to our lives.
Each exercise involves “homework” which will take you into aspects of your self and your relationships that may have been blocked or stifled in some way. The combined effect of undertaking these activities while using Sound Therapy may open up your life in surprising ways as you follow the instructions.
