Bryan,
People who do holosync for the reasons you write about usually don't hang around long enuff to see those results.
Reason? Overwhelm.
The whole purpose of holosync is to inject a small amount of chaos into the brain in order to push it to reorganize to a higher threshold. I wasn't aware that CRI made it a point to say using holosync would improve concentration, learning ability, memory & stuff like that. It hasn't done that for me & i've been using it for 4 years.
If you have emotional luggage that you have not dealt w/----------you will have no choice in the matter. It'll come up & it's called overwhelm. I'd call CRI and holosync a healing type of program, which is not what you are talking about.
For the things you mention, LS paraliminals seem best. MO course too.
