Relaxation
Session	Time	Name
07	15 min	Quick Work Break The common wisdom says you should take breaks at regular intervals if, for example, you work on a computer, for example, for extended periods of time. Combine this session with a good regimen of stretching exercise to avoid many of the chronic physical maladies that affect more and more people. In addition, we suggest that you use this session during your break times. It is also great after lunch and before you go back to the keyboard.
08	25 min	Mind Sauna Use this with deep breathing and muscle awareness exercises. Start by breathing from your diaphragm. You will know you are doing this correctly when you feel your stomach, not your chest, moving up and down with every deep breath. As you allow your muscles to relax, tension will disappear. You may try lying down while using this session with relaxing music. There is a quick two minute boost at the end of the session to bring you back up again.
09	16 min	Quick Refresher Here is help for you to refocus your energies. Use it if you are feeling you need to be able to revitalize yourself during a particularly difficult day. As you become more familiar with the subtleties of the various sessions you will find you will tend to develop favorites you use several times a week. Because they are convenient to use, some of the 15-20 minute sessions like this one will get a lot of use.
10	35 min	Regeneration This session is long enough to allow you to reach a state of very deep relaxation and focused concentration. Some people feel this session seems much shorter then 35 minutes. This is because it gets you in such a deeply relaxed state that you lose a sense of your surroundings. A session like this has to be used on a regular basis over a period of several weeks to train the mind and body to properly let go and allow yourself to become deeply relaxed. This is also a good session to use with relaxation or self-help tapes.
11	60 min	Deep Meditation Make time for yourself! Use this session when you know you will remain undisturbed. This is the longest session offered and for beginning users it may seem too long. It is excellent as a training session if you are trying to learn how to meditate for extended periods. You may find your meditation practice will go more smoothly even without the help of this machine.

Learning
Learning is enhanced when you are in a relaxed state. Absorbing new information and concepts - and memorizing too - become easier. Many people also find self-hypnosis tapes are more effective when used along with a light and sound device. Try sessions 13, 16 or 17 for this purpose, but make sure the session you choose is long enough to last the length of the tape.

12	10 min	Quick Alertness Break This is a perfect session to help you remain focused on your studies. It is designed to be used once every 40 to 60 minutes. This session will help you to better integrate the material during your study period.
13	35 min	Learning with Tapes This session is specifically designed for use with language tapes. It uses the techniques pioneered by the Bulgarian researcher, Losanov, called superlearning. It involves developing a state of relaxed and focused concentration.
14	15 min	Relax Before Exams or Pressure Situations It will leave you with a sense of calm, focus and confidence. Concentration can be broken when you are feeling uneasy. Everyone has had the experience of taking an exam, feeling pressured and forgetting material they easily remember when the pressure is taken off them. This session is the ideal solution for use before an exam or presentation.
15	15 min	Concentration This session is designed to quickly bring you into a relaxed state, relaxation and concentration go hand in hand. A relaxed body allows the mind more ability to be alert and attentive. Your main focus when using this session should be to allow your body to become as relaxed as possible while maintaining your alertness.
16	20 min	Creativity Enhancement This session sweeps through a series of frequencies to help stimulate your mental processes. Use it frequently for maximum benefit. Try this one for several days in a row for help with problem solving. Try not to push for a solution: try to allow one to come on it?s own. Sometimes letting go is the best method.
17	20 min	Visualization Use when you feel tired and want a session that moves through a series of frequencies for stimulation and visualization. If you are a visual person you will see all kinds of kaleidoscopic imagery. The session is quite enjoyable with very pleasant after-effects.

Well Being
These sessions are especially useful when you are looking for a release from the tensions that build up during the day.

18	25 min	Body/Mind Awareness There is a direct connection between health of the mind and the body. It is difficult to have a relaxed mind while your body feels tense. Alternatively, it is difficult to allow your body to relax if your mind is overactive or you are filled with emotional anxiety. This session is best used with a recorded program for relaxation of your body and mind. If no tape is available, do a body awareness exercise of going through each muscle group and becoming aware of tight spots. Work to release and relax your entire body over this 25 minute session. Use it often if this is your main area of concern. Pay attention to your body and notice if you find it becoming looser as the weeks progress.
19	22 min	Afternoon Break Mix this session with some gentle, soothing relaxation music or nature sounds to reduce the tensions caused by your daily life. The session is long enough to help you to relax deeply and feel refreshed, but not so long as to cut too heavily into your other daily responsibilities. One of the most difficult problems to overcome is making the time each day to use the Orion in a meaningful way. If you find this to be the case try any of the 15 - 25 minute sessions and commit yourself to using them. If you can spare a few extra minutes you may find this session becomes one of your favorites.
20	25 min	Deep Relaxation Try this session first if you are really sensitive or just starting out on the machine. Start yourself on the road to regeneration using one of the most gentle sessions in the Orion. Just sit back and allow yourself to gently flow into a relaxing place.
21	18 min	Goodnight This is a great session to use at the end of your day. Lie down, set the lights at a low level, and let yourself drift away. It is fairly short because we do not want you to fall asleep while still wearing the glasses and headphones. After you are done you may want to slip them off and say good night!
22	25 min	Release the Day Use this with the lights set to a low to moderate setting. This is an end of the day session for calming and internal balance. It is best used when you have planned no more social interaction for the remainder of the evening, including TV. Perhaps after using it you will want to read a book for a while or just go directly to sleep.
23	No time limit	Random Sweep This session will never run the same way twice. It is designed to move from frequency to frequency in a random pattern. The frequency changes every few seconds. Experiment with it and enjoy the interesting visual and audio effects.
