Hi Gardnerguy

Holosync should appear as a faint hum in the background of the paraliminal though personally I have found this to be a little more noticable on some sessions than others. If you are listening directly from the original paraliminal cd I would say that you should definately be able to pick out the hum but if you have converted the tracks on your cd to MP3 then you may not be able to hear it. This may be because the tracks on the cd have been converted/encoded at a low bitrate. The optimum conversion bitrate should be set to 320. Until recently I had my paraliminals converted to mp3 but at a lower bitrate and I didnt notice the hum. It was only after reading a post on the forum that i re did them at 320. I use iTunes to convert the cds and also use an mp3 joining program called Mp3 Splitter Joiner to combine the tracks afterwards, and this works a treat with the minutest area of gap between the tracks. I dont think the joining program is definately needed though.

All I do sometimes is focus on the holosync hum when it is fully noticable and Ive found this to relax me even more...though it may just be me!
Another great way I find to relax is to really concentrate on my breathing, breathing in from the stomach, holding it for a few seconds and then letting the breath out slowly, just as instructed on the Instantaneous Personal Magnetism para. You should notice that you will start to breath a lot more deeper also after a while.

I can add that I dont need to do this as much with the new Sonic Access meditations as they just knock me sideways anyway! These are incredibly relaxing

I hope that this helps
Simon
