Frequently Asked Questions About HypnoDreamsChoosing A HypnoDream or HypnoSolution
Choosing A HypnoDream or HypnoSolution
I've never used a HypnoDream before - where should I start?We highly recommend to start with HypnoDreams Vol. 1 - The Wisdom of the Water as a first introduction to HypnoDreams and energy hypnosis in general. The HypnoDreams on Wisdom of the Water are each an invitation to different aspects of your energy system to wake up; their formats and order and sequence on the album are designed to engage many different levels and layers and to begin re-establishing first connections across the board. Wisdom is also a very good introduction to the feel and sense as well as the range of "Lucid Sanctuary State" energy hypnosis; comforting, refreshing and not too intense, yet challenging enough to call for and create real change, growth, and reconnection both in the energy system, as well as in the neurology.
How do I choose the right HypnoDream/HypnoSolution?The main way to choose anything here is by YOUR INTUITION - what YOU feel drawn to, what you seem to really WANT at the time. To help you choose something to begin with, we have included our helpful "remedies list" which matches problems and solutions, and you can find this remedies list here.
How do I choose the right HypnoDream/HypnoSolution for someone else?If you are buying something as a gift for someone who is unused to the idea of energy hypnosis or personal development, we suggest to start with The Wisdom of The Water, HypnoDreams 1, or a "words free" Sonic Solutions album. The HypnoSolutions and higher HypnoDreams albums are probably not suited as a first introduction, as though they are gentle and compassionate, they can and do trigger deep emotional responses. For someone who isn't used to this happening, this can be disconcerting, so take it easy. If you are buying a gift for a fellow personal developer, feel free to let your intuition be your guide or consult the remedies list for an idea and help with decision making.
Is there any particular order or sequence to using HypnoDreams/HypnoSolutions?There is a developmental sequence in the HypnoDreams leading up to the HypnoSolutions, but this reflects more our development than yours. We suggest to follow your own intuition on what you want and need right now first of all and as the highest priority. Each one of our energy hypnosis sessions has a completely unique energy and existence. There are parts of us that recognise these energies, and they will be drawn to the right ones at the right time if we pay attention. If you are unsure, start with The Wisdom of The Water, HypnoDreams Vol. 1, and take it from there. This will give you a much better understanding, sense and sensitivity to your own energy needs and how you respond to the HypnoDreams/HypnoSolutions.
Can children listen to HypnoDreams?HypnoDreams and HypnoSolutions are created for adults, by adults. Children find them fascinating, but we do not recommend our products as remedies for children under the age of 16, and as we get asked this question so often, we are planning to produce a special HypnoDreams album especially for children in the near future.
General Questions About HypnoDreams
What makes HypnoDreams so different from standard hypnosis?Unlike the standard "weight loss", "stop smoking" style of hypnosis, which are only used briefly and if there's a problem, HypnoDreams is a much more personal and ongoing form of support and a set of generative devices to both restore us AND to encourage evolution and growth BEYOND what is considered to be "healthy" functioning. HypnoDreams and HypnoSolutions directly create DIFFERENT states of being. Unlike drugs, which also alter our consciousness, hypnotic state shifts as the HypnoDreams provide, are completely safe as well as being enjoyable. What's more, unlike drugs which wear off after a while and where we build a natural resistance, HypnoDreams become MORE INTENSE with use, because we learn HOW to experience these fascinating and highly beneficial states of being.
Can I use HypnoDreams & HypnoSolutions to replace medication for headaches, sleeplessness, depression, stimulants?Absolutely! One of the marvellous things about the human body is that it is the greatest pharmaceutical factory in the world - and it is custom made for you. All kinds of beneficial and and natural chemicals are released when the right states are called during the HypnoDreams - this is exactly why they FEEL so good, and why they produce such noticeable effects in relaxation, good humour and increased energy. If you have any clinical/severe condition, obviously you should procede with care and consult with your medication provider on the change of any dosage; but in general, HypnoDreams and HypnoSolutions can perfectly replace "as and when" medication. It also is a very effective alternative to "self medication" - a HypnoDream can more than successfully replace that cup of strong coffee to "get going", that tub of "comfort ice cream" or that relaxing "glass of whiskey" before bedtime. HypnoDreams are natural, completely holistic, and they are good for you!
Who uses HypnoDreams?The simple answer to this is - PEOPLE use HypnoDreams. All kinds of different people who enjoy feeling better, want to stretch into new and different modes of being, and who are grateful for the practical help in many situations the HypnoDreams provide so reliably. Something you might find interesting is that the developers themselves, Silvia Hartmann and Ananga Sivyer, use HypnoDreams regularly to find relaxation, inspiration and a better frame of mind for their work. Amongst the many friends of HypnoDreams are people as diverse as monks, company managers, retired people, students, housewives and healers - people, in other words. Who wouldn't like to feel better, learn something new, give their mind and body a soothing holiday and their energy system a real treat?
How do I use the HypnoDreams?HypnoDreams are INTERACTIVE hypnosis - this means that they don't necessary "knock you unconscious", but that YOU have a lot of say in how far you want to go, or how deep. If you choose a really comfortable, protective setting with quality headphones, where you can let go and really flow with the experiences without disruptions, they are experiences very reminiscent of a "lucid dream", which is what gives our HypnoDreams their title. Especially when you play more than just one, each subsequent HypnoDream starts then from a "deeper" platform and goes from there - this is a really fascinating effect of clearer and higher trance lucidity especially with the HypnoDreams albums. The unique and fascinating difference with HypnoDreams and HypnoSolutions is that you can also "do them standing up". We do not recommend using the HypnoDreams while you are driving or operating heavy machinery, but you can certainly do them whilst engaged in tasks or activities where you can "trance out", such as exercising, cleaning, bathing, walking. In this case, the effect is a really interesting STATE CHANGE where you think, act and feel quite differently. It is very soothing, stress releasing and feels remarkable. With very little practice, you get to set the state you want to be in with HypnoDreams. This is also useful for all other forms of meditation and state control, including emotional control.
What is the difference between a HypnoDream, and a HypnoSolution?HypnoSolutions are in essence designed to be REMEDIES and have a strong healing/change component built in FOR A VERY SPECIFIC PURPOSE. For example, The Wisdom of The Water (a HypnoDream) encourages thought and feelings on change and transformation, but it is essentially left to the traveller what they want to do with that in the end, what is relevant and what they wish take from that. Star Diamond, on the other hand, is a HypnoSolution for FEAR, a direct intervention in the energy system to release old fears, calm the systems that are overheating under stress and fear, and to leave the user in a very specific state of calm and clarity. HypnoSolutions are pitched on a slightly different frequency of trance, which is deeper than the trance of HypnoDreams as this is necessary to make changes in the energy system. For this reason, a second track, the activator, is used in the "real world" scenarios instead of the original track.
How do I use the HypnoSolutions and their Activators correctly?You have to think of the HypnoSolution itself as a remedy - just like you would take a course of homeopathic medicine, for example. There is usually a prescription instruction that accompanies each HypnoSolution, but in general we advise to use them at least once a day for a week, preferably before going to bed at night, to accomplish the major changes and repair work in the energy system. During this time, the workings of the HypnoSolutions are SIGNIFICANTLY enhanced if the activators are used IN THE DAYTIME and during routine activities, work, relaxation, play, to strengthen and support the changes made by the HypnoSolution. This is also immensely useful in the context to take the changes gained in "healing sessions" and "meditations" and have them BE PRESENT in the real world, where the challenges really lie. This "bridging" effect the activators provide is very important, and we advise to play the activators in a variety of situations to essentially create a "temporal field of healing and support" to steady and protect the new changes made by the HypnoSolutions.
Can I use a HypnoDream/HypnoSolution more than once?That's a good question, and an important one. Yes, you can, and sometimes, you even should. The ENTRY POINT to any of our HypnoDreams is quite important in the experience you have of the HypnoDream. When you start from a very relaxed state, the HypnoDream/HypnoSolution will take you correspondingly FROM THERE - very deep and high indeed. In the Lullaby, our super deep delta trance sleep trainer, we have looped one 20 minute deep trance track 3 times - it steps down on each repeat as the starting point was deeper than the one before. The tracks are made with this possibility in mind; they are more aligned, more intensive than standard hour long "meditations" or linear inductions, and this enables us to spend LESS time and get MUCH MUCH deeper more quickly. A 3 repeats loop of Star Diamond, for example, takes just 45 minutes and gets you VERY, VERY deep indeed.
Can I make "cocktails" out of these remedies?Oh absolutely! In fact, for more advanced users, the ability to use one track to set up the ENTRY STATE for another is one of the best things about all the HypnoDreams and HypnoSolutions. When stress is very high, for example, Star Diamond played FIRST and before whatever else is required, will SET UP the chosen induction to be far more deep, and far more effective, as Star Diamond takes away the general stress and leaves the paths and channels clear to go straight into "Luck", "Love" or "Creativity". On a day of extreme stress, I once chose a "remedies run" of Star Diamond (to calm me down), Wisdom (to refresh me), then the MindMillion activator to give me inspiration and excitement. Half way through MindMillion, I was back at work with real enthusiasm - and it took less than 40 minutes from complete chaos to sterling, pro-active work states that lasted the rest of the day.
Can I "prescribe" HypnoDreams or HypnoSolutions to others?Many people buy especially HypnoDreams CDs as presents for friends and relatives. If you are a professional therapist or healer, and you would like to use HypnoDreams or HypnoSolutions to support your work with your clients, please contact us for details and special discounts.
Technical Questions
I have never downloaded music in MP3 format before - what should I do?We have a page with instructions on how to download, save and play back MP3 files located HERE. We recommend you try one or more of the free downloads BEFORE ordering any of the downloads which are likely to be more and bigger in file size so you are completely comfortable with the procedures involved.
Can I Put HypnoSolutions on an audio device?Certainly. Many of our customers are very happily using HypnoSolutions on iPods and personal mp3 players. If you have an mp3 player with a built-in USB plug, such as the iDisgo Lite MP3 player, you simply plug the device into a USB port on your computer where it will be recognised as an external device (on Windows PCs you may need to click “My Computer” to see it – on Mac PCs it will automatically appear on your desktop after a few seconds). Once you’ve found the device you can drag and drop your chosen files onto it. If you are an iPod owner, you can import HypnoDreams and HypnoSolutions into iTunes, if you want to make a HypnoDreams play list you can easily do so by clicking the + button at the bottom of the play list pane – now you can drag your HypnoDreams collection directly into your ipod HypnoDreams folder and when you next connect your ipod to your PC it will be automatically updated and you will see that a HypnoDreams play list has been added. Now you too can have portable support in your pocket – anytime, anywhere :-)
Can I Burn HypnoDreams MP3s to a CD?Yes you can, and easily too – though we would ask that you be honest and do so only for your own personal use. Simply download the HypnoDreams or Solutions of your choice to your chosen location on your computer’s hard drive and from there you can select or drag and drop the files into your CD Burner program such as Roxio Easy CD Creator, Nero, or Toast.
How good is the quality of HypnoDreams MP3 files?While it is true that mp3 files are compressed to reduce file size, the algorithms used to do this are set to remove only “wasted” sound space. That is, the sound not readily detected by the human ear. The quality of the final mp3 is, however, dependant on the quality and efficiency of the encoder used. The HypnoDreams team are using state of the art encoders in their mastering suite and are satisfied that their mp3 files are of the best possible quality. Further, the original sounds used are adjusted to ensure that the transmission is true and the correct energies are being raised.
Are standard MP3 headphones of good enough quality?Most will suffice. They may not be the best but they will do the job. The main thing is to be sure to use headphones of some sort wherever possible because of the way our recordings are mastered to make use of panning and crossover rhythms. However, if you want to get the very best from the HypnoDreams recordings you might like to invest in some good quality headphones for your portable device. Such as the Sony MDR-EX71 in ear headphones (Ananga’s personal choice), which block out external sound (the usual safety precautions, of course, apply here), are very comfortable, and are available in black or white if you are keen to have them match your listening device.
About Energy HypnosisWhat is Energy Hypnosis?In traditional hypnosis, it is all about "changing a person's mind". Energy hypnosis is designed to beneficial and evolutionary change the energy system, and in the case of HypnoDreams, specifically the psychic circuitry or astral (causal) energy system. The reason for this is that changes in the energy system are immediately reflected in changes in thought, emotion and behaviour as well; this is a case of dealing with the causes, rather than trying to massage the symptoms of a problem.
How does Energy Hypnosis work?The sounds, words, intentions in all the HypnoDreams creations are aligned to affect the ENERGY SYSTEM, firstly and foremostly.
What is "Totality Hypnosis"?A person is a totality of many aspects on many levels; at the very least we are always dealing with the physical, mental, unconscious mental, and the energy systems ALL AT THE SAME TIME. The concept of Totality Hypnosis is that ALL ASPECTS should come into harmonious alignment and no part should be left out. When mind, body, energy and astral systems align in what is known as the "lucid sanctuary state", information, energy, healing can flow between them. This leads to a general strengthening for all and indeed, a re-unification occurs. This re-unification is HEALING IN AND OF ITSELF; but further, many things can be achieved in this lucid state that simply can't be done in any other way, or in any other place or state of mind.
Is there any real research or science behind these concepts?Yes, there are. The theory behind HypnoDreams, Totality Hypnosis and Energy Hypnosis is doubly documented. Firstly, it is documented in over ten thousand years of Ayurvedic Energy Medicine teaching; and a new and current research version is documented in The Patterns and Techniques of EmoTrance, Vol. 1 - 3, 2002 - 2005, by Dr Silvia Hartmann. Much more excitingly, however, is the actual and ongoing research on a very personal basis that is being conducted by intelligent people, some of which are very advanced healers, therapists and scientists, all around the World USING these unprecedented psycho-energetic remedies on a daily basis. This is where the REAL information and truth about these products is being tried and tested, under difficult circumstances, namely REAL LIVES - lived in the REAL world.
Are there any books I can read on these topics of energy, consciousness and healing?For a first introduction to the worlds of "totality aligned human beings", there is an exceptional free ebook available, written especially by Dr Silvia Hartmann, entitled, "The Enchanted World". FREE - The Enchanted WorldThis wonderful book is concise, information packed, explains the key concepts in easy to understand language and may be freely downloaded from http://starfields.org/The_Enchanted_World.htm A German Language Version is also available, please see http://starfields.org/Zauberwelt.htm
EmoTrance Energy MagicFor those with a real interest in the theory and practical application of the unified reality, we recommend The Patterns & Techniques of EmoTrance, Vol. 1, available from http://starfields.org/Oceans_Of_Energy.htm
Art & Science Of Emotional FreedomAs a fascinating and very interesting introduction to changing mind, thought and behaviour by affecting the major body meridians, we recommend Emotional Freedom Techniques EFT. The Art & Science of Emotional Freedom takes the ideas of "energy laylines" and makes it become real, feelable, testable - this is a great book for those who would rather find out for themselves than just "believe" and a superb introduction to the REALITY of energy and human endeavour. http://dragonrising.com/store/art_and_science/
Energy Psychology - Adventures In EFTThis book is a "must have" for anyone even remotely interested in psychology or the science of why people do the things they do. Adventures in EFT shows by many, many case histories, examples and varieties of human problems just how psychological problems arise, and how they can be cured by intervening at the energy system level. As Art & Science above, Adventures In EFT doubles at the same time as an outstanding self help device that will be used again, and again. http://dragonrising.com/store/adventures_in_eft/
Project Sanctuary - Quantum Energy Mind CommunicationIf you love HypnoDreams and their extraordinarily congruent and REAL energies, then Project Sanctuary will take your breath away. Project Sanctuary is the "father and mother" of the HypnoDreams, HypnoSolutions, Sonic Solutions - this extraordinary manual teaches us how to channel information from what was previously known as the "unconscious mind" and to USE IT to help us right here, right now. With Project Sanctuary, you unlock your own energy mind's potential and the access to the higher realms of existence - once, and for all. Then all the worlds are at your fingertips, to explore and use in creativity, in art, in healing, in real life. A Once-In-A-Lifetime Book, entirely priceless, and we cannot recommend this highly enough. http://dragonrising.com/store/project_sanctuary/
Are there any professional certification trainings in Energy Hypnosis?We are often asked this and the possibility of a programme is being discussed as of March 2005. If you are interested in news of such a programme, please subscribe to the StarFields Intelligence Ezine at http://starfields.org/subscribe.htm
Are there any examples of how to do Energy Hypnosis with people for professionals?Energy hypnosis is an integral part of the BeauTy T Process. A live seminar recording which includes a basic energy hypnosis training session for therapists/healers and practical examples and explanations is available from http://starfields.org/BeauTy.htm
