Quick Start
You don‘t like to read user manuals? You don‘t have to! Here are the quick
start instructions-tips and tricks to optimize your first use:
We recommend program# “01“ for a first time user: find a comfortable spot
and make sure that you won‘t be interrupted for the next 30-45 minutes. Con-
nect all cables – the ports are located at the bottom of your pyramid. Connect
the goggles to the goggle symbol, the headphones to the headphone symbol and
the adapter to the USB symbol. Connect the plug to the electrical outlet. Put on
your headphones and get the visualization goggles ready. Point the remote
control towards the infrared recipient in the pyramid (round, approx 1 cm
diameter at the side of the brainLight®logo). Press “0“ – a light starts in the
goggles, press “1“ and the program starts. That‘s all. Close your eyes, put on the
goggles, listen through your headphones. Relax, let it happen …
The other double digit programs start the same way: press the first number to
start the light and the second number to start the program.
If you would like to listen to your favourite music in combination with the light
and sound program, connect your external sound source (CD player, iPod etc)
to the pyramid using enclosed cables. Select your music or CD, select your
program, e.g. # 35 – 30 minutes of relaxation – start your music … and off you
go.
We wish you fun and success on your personal journey to more relaxation
and zest for life. Please feel free to contact us at any time with your questions
and/or suggestions.

Important advice before your first use
The brainLight®Synchro was developed for the purpose of relaxation,
learning and entertainment. It is no replacement for mental or medical the-
rapy or a treatment of deseases of any kind. In any of these cases you should
see a doctor. The use of the brainLight®Synchro is safe and harmless as long
as you pay attention to the following exceptions.
You should avoid use of the brainLight®Synchro:
●if you suffer from epilepsy
●if you suffer from brain seizures
●if you suffer from photosensitivity
●if you are indisposed
●before or after consumption of alcohol or drugs
●if you are in psychological or psychiatric treatment ask your doctor about
using the brainLight®Synchro
The Synchro is not a toy!
Only use it if you feel mentally and physically fit, especially the first few
times. Do not use the Synchro if you run a fever or for a few days after you have
had fever. Always keep in mind that your brain is intensely challenged. That is
why you should start with short programs and low intensity. Even if it takes you
a little time to get used to this new technology – as long as you follow these
instructions you will have a lot of fun with your Synchro!
“By asking a question, you‘ll feel foolish for a while,
because you lack the knowledge. By not asking and continuing to lack the
knowledge, you will remain a fool indefinitely.“
Chinese Proverb

The most comfortable way
For best results get into a comfortable position in pleasant and calm surroun-
dings. Find the right space and make sure that you won’t be interrupted.
Take a few moments to breathe deeply just as you would before a meditation
or similar relaxation training. Close your eyes and let your thoughts flow freely.
While you do this you can decide which Synchro program you would like to
start. A relaxing program, or rather a stimulating program? Take your time choo-
sing the program.
If you wear contact lenses or glasses, take them off during the use of the Syn-
chro. Remember to keep your eyes closed during the session.
Tips and Tricks
You have purchased a new tool that will help you reach your goals easier and
faster. We would like to offer some suggestions that make the use of this tool
more comfortable and effective.
●You can regulate the light intensity on the cable of the goggles. We
recommend to start with a lower intensity and to slowly raise the level of
intensity over time.
●You can use stereo extension cords (max 10 m) to lengthen the cords of
goggles and headphones. Adapter and cables can be purchased for a small
amount of money in any electrical supply store or from brainLight®.
●Watch each inner movement, but don’t judge it, train your consciousness.
“The door to experience
can only be opened from the inside.“
Carl Ramson Rogers

11
●Take a minute to breathe deeply before and after using the brainLight®
system.
●Similar to recommendations before a Yoga or meditation session you should:
– avoid eating before a session
– not use drugs
– wear loose and comfortable clothing
●If possible, do not eat before using the system and wear comfortable
clothes.
●Choose the intensity of the light so that you can perceive it through closed
eyes. Light intensity and volume should feel comfortable.
●The preparations to end a session are just as important as the preparations
to start it. Don’t get up immediately and jump back into your activities. Many
users notice that they can accomplish their daily tasks much calmer and with
much more care after a session. These “side effects” are just as important as
your experiences during the optical-acoustic stimulation.
●It may be worthwhile to start your own personal „brainLight® diary“. It is
very insightful to regularly document one’s own feelings, experiences and
observations for a longer period of time and to notice the changes.
Research, experiment and have fun.
Good luck!
The most comfortable way
– have a minute of quiet before
and after the session
– take off glasses or contact lenses

When and how often can I use brainLight®?
In the beginning you are most likely curious and want to use the Synchro as
often as possible. For most users this levels off to 2-3 sessions a week. We
recommend to start with the shorter, less intensive programs and to observe
how mind and body react. If you want to change a habit, we recommend
mentaltraining with the brainLight®Synchro for 21 consecutive days.
You can use the Synchro in the morning to wake up. Some programs help to
gain new energy and relax, others are used to activate and stimulate. You can
also use your Synchro before going to bed for deep, healthy sleep. Please check
the program descriptions for more information. If you wish to complement a
Synchro program with a CD program, make sure that both have about the same
running time.
Of course you can also record your own music, tailored to the length of the
Synchro program.

The neuro- and brain technology is a relatively young science. Our brain is
less explored than the moon. However, recently some fascinating discoveries
have been made about the way our brain works.
The use of the brainLight®Synchro will be an adventure for you. Just as Jules
Verne once wrote about in his novel ”Journey To The Center Of The Earth” you
will soon be able to talk about your visions, fantasies, inner discoveries and
experiences.
Some programs can easily bring you into a state where you are neither asleep
nor awake. This state is the source for new ideas, sensations and creative
thoughts. You have access to images, sensations and symbols that come directly
from your subconscious. For this reason this system is suited to assist in visuali-
zations and positive self-programming. The subconscious does not differentiate
between reality and fantasy, all perceptions are reality. Be ready to imagine
things you thought impossible before. By using the Synchro regularly you can
learn to understand the symbols and messages of your soul.
After the session
Take some time before going back to your chores after the program has
finished. Get up slowly and breathe deeply.
Please feel free to contact us with your experiences at any time. Have fun
with and enjoy your brainLight® Synchro.

The Journey Inwards

The heart of your brainLight®Synchro is a sophisticated computer, which
produces optical patterns and acoustic signals in stimulating sequences. These
sequences are transmitted to the brain via headphones and goggles and specific
frequencies are set. The brain is able to adapt spontaneously and will then pro-
duce its own frequencies to match those specified. Deep relaxation is induced,
breathing slows down and the muscles relax.
The optic and acoustic stimuli affect the brain cells directly. You can train your
brain just like you would train a muscle as proven by the American scientist
Rosenzweig who performed an experiment on rats: he had one group of rats live
in an environment that lacked stimuli while another group of rats was bombarded
with optic and acoustic stimuli. It turned out that the rats of the second group
were much more intelligent than the rats of the first group; their brains were
bigger and heavier too. Translated to the human brain this would prove another
of Einstein’s theories: “ We use only 10% or our mental potential”. By using the
brainLight®Synchro you stimulate inactive brain cells. Mental fitness and flexi-
bility are the result of regular use.
The electric activity of the brain
The bioelectric activity of the human brain, measured by EEG, is divided into
4 areas:
●Beta waves ●Theta waves ●Alpha waves ●Delta waves

creativity, phantasy and intuition. The-
se “anti-hectic-waves” create the inte-
gration of body and mind. Alpha
waves aid the parasympathetic neural
functions and the integration of the left
and the right hemisphere. Alpha waves
aid healing processes of the body.

Awake, alert,
and tense. Logi-
cal-analytical thin-
king, but also feelings of uneasiness,
stress, anger and fear. Most people
have a beta-dominated brain.
Beta waves dominate in daily life. They can be measured during physical and
mental activity. In situations of stress they cause excessive nervousness. The
acoustic and optic signals of the brainLight®Synchro stimulate the brain to
produce alpha and theta waves. Those are characteristic for relaxation, medita-
tion, creativity and intuition. In the Theta state you can perceive images and
emotions you are normally not aware of. Mental and physical relaxation on a
regular base help to make your life less stressful.
The brainLight®technology brings you into a calm, yet alert state, in which
you have direct and conscious access to your creative and mental potential.

important frequency in our natural
environment and is suited to help the
regeneration of our body. Theta
waves can be measured when you
are in a state of deep meditation, e.g.
during certain Yoga practices, bio-
feedback, and / or other mental tech-
niques. It is interesting that the EEG of
small children show that Theta waves

Psychic states cor-
responding to it are: deep, dreamless
sleep (non-REM-sleep), trance and
deep hypnosis, healing and regenera-
tion. During Delta sleep the hormone
growth starts. In this state the cellular
regeneration takes place.

brainLight® fix frequencies
Single, empirically found frequencies:
0,1-1,0 Hz: When the brain activity sinks below one oscillation per second,
the human being strives for infinity.
0,1-3,0 Hz: Hormonal growth takes place during delta sleep, cellular regene-
ration takes place and the physical body repairs itself.
0,5 Hz: Calm and relaxing. Stimulates the neurons and brings them into
balance. Balancing effect on the neurotransmitters, frequencies that reduce
headaches. Good for insomnia and to relieve pain.
1 Hz: Feeling of harmony. Stimulates the epiphysis to convey hormones.
Overview over relationships.
1,5 Hz: Stimulates the pituitary gland. Release of hormones. This frequency
was derived from 10.5 Hz and corresponds to the overtone harmonic.
2,5 Hz: Quick relaxation, remedy for insomnia and pain relief.
3,5 Hz: Feeling of being one with everything. Enhanced memory for foreign
languages.
First of all it is important to find your personal resonance frequency. The best
way to find it is through regular use and trying out different options until you find
the one that makes you feel best. Some users are most comfortable in the upper
alpha areas, other like the theta or even delta areas better. The results not only
depend on the frequency, but to a certain extent also on the starting tension
position of the individual. For circadian reasons we suggest to use stimulating
frequencies in the mornings and calming rhythms in the afternoon and in the
evening.

18
4 Hz: Frequency for extrasensory perception, encephalin stimulation.
5,5 Hz: Goes beyond knowing for the sake of knowing. Shows you areas that
need to be further developed.
6,4 Hz: Enhanced learning. Increase of memory capacity.
7,5 Hz: Guided meditation. Creation of creative thoughts for areas like arts,
emotions, music. Contact to spiritual guides..
7,8 Hz: Puharich brainwave-window or the receptiveness for paranormal infor-
mation.
7,83 Hz: Schumann resonance = the natural, electromagnetic resonance of the
ionosphere. Changed state of consciousness of healers, mediums, shamans etc.
8,3 – 8,5 Hz: Visual imagination of mental objects.
9 Hz: Recognize the reasons for physical disharmony and find a way to restore
inner balance.
10 Hz: This is the safest frequency in the whole spectrum. It is the best place
to start if you are uncertain with all the different possibilities. For many people
this frequency reduces pain and has overall strengthening and stabilizing effects.
It aids the production and release of the neurotransmitter Sertin, a mood enhan-
cing substance. Relevant connection between astronomical and biological time
(Max Plank Institute). Biophysical synchronization factor according to Popp.
Increase of reactivity according to Koenig (Technical University Munich).
10,2 Hz: Arterenol stimulation.
10,5 Hz: Healing frequency for the body (cellular regeneration). Firewalking.
Mind-body communication.
12 Hz: Inner centering. Start frequency for all other frequencies.

19
14 Hz: Basic Frequency.
15Hz: Aids with chronic pain and the healing of bones.
20 Hz: For exhausted users. Might produce distress.
38 Hz: Relaxes the muscles, improves blood circulation.
40Hz: Raises beta-endorphins (“runners high”). Soft withdrawal. Alertness,
problem solving in tense situations. Dissolves spasms.
7,83 Hz – the frequency of the earth:
“Healers have the same frequency as the Earth”
Astudy of brain waves of healers all over the world led to a remarkable
discovery. All healers showed the same brain wave patterns when they entered
an altered state of consciousness during a “healing”. No matter what society they
lived in, what rituals they believed in or which techniques they used, all exami-
ned healers had a brainwave pattern of 7.8 to 8 Hz while they were in the hea-
ling state.
The nuclear physicist Dr. Robert Beck made this discovery during extensive
research from 1969 to 1988. He published the results of his research in the trade
journal “Archeus”, Vol. 4.
Beck writes: “I had the unique opportunity and the necessary instruments to
take electroencephalographic (EEG) readings of brain wave patterns of some
notable contemporaries who practice as healers, schamans and diviners in the
US and Hawaii. As I have excellent contacts with the scientific establishment as
well as with the “occult underground” I was able to get a cross section of measu-
rements with “sensitive people” of the most diverse directions – from charismatic
Christian miracle healers to authentic Hawaiian Kahunas, members of the Wicca
and Santeria cults, diviners, clairvoyants and psychics. An amazing percentage
of these authentic sensitive beings had nearly identical EEG patterns during the
healing sessions … a nearly pure sinus curve of up to 25 microvolt and a

20
frequency from 7.8 to 8.0 hz (border between alpha and theta)…
The most amazing thing about this discovery is that no matter how different
the methods and beliefs of these individuals are, no matter how different the
point of view and the belief system, they all seem to follow the same “cosmic
drummer” whenever they are in this altered state of mind…”
During further studies Dr. Beck found that the brain waves of all these
psychics and healers are synchronous in frequency as well as phases with the
frequency of the earth.
