external, have made them very popular speakers at conferences like Global
Sciences. Always up to date on the latest tools for growth, they have blended
three of the most advanced processes into the Mind Joumeys cassettes. Quantum
Imaging is an interactive guided visualization process that allows you to tap
directly into the blueprint of the multi-dimensional universe to create the
life you want-spontaneously. Mirror Talk messages are time-reversed
affirmations just above the threshold of audibility that speak directly to the

Dr. Jeffrey Thompson
Since 1981 Dr. Thompson's ground-breaking work using musical sound patterns,
nature sounds, and NASA space sound recordings to alter states of consciousness
has gained him international recognition. His work is used by psychologists,
psychiatrists, clinical hypnotherapists, physicians and bodywork professionals
in 26 countries. There are multiple levels of sound frequency patterns built
into the sounds and music of his many different recordings for resonating
brainwaves into deep states of relaxation. Many of these frequencies were
processed by extensive use of the stereo field with special 3-D processing.
Some of the sounds on his recordings have been created through a process called
"Primordial Processing"-using nature sounds, human body sounds, and
NASA/Voyager space sound recordings from the planets in our solar system. All
of Dr. Thompson's recordings are processed in full wrap-around 3-D sound
imaging. Many of the sounds on each recording are processed electronically so
that only the subconscious mind can recognize them. This causes a deep level
relaxation/ energizing response.
