What is CVR?
What is the science that went into creating the CVR audio sessions?
Dr. Porter has spent 28 years researching and developing the science of personal change. His CVR (Creative Visualization & Relaxation) sessions include guided relaxation, visualization, and mindfulness meditation techniques combined with the sciences of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Psycho-Linguistics to help guide the listener into the deeply relaxed state where true change happens. He then combines this with binaural beats and deep brainwave entrainment frequencies embedded into the music to help you to stay in a deeply relaxed, yet wakeful, state where you can visualize and realize your personal goals. Each session is encoded with this ZenSync technology to work with or without the ZenFrames. This also ensures that each session will work with today’s ZenFrames or any future generation of PureCreation’s brainwave entrainment technology.
Is CVR Audio Sessions Effective Without the ZenFrames?
Creative visualization and guided imagery have been around for decades. These are scientifically proven modalities for behavior modification, pain relief, and self-improvement. Now they are made even more effective with the added benefit of brainwave entrainment through the ZenFrames technology.
While there is a wide assortment of relaxation training systems, such has autogenic (self-produced) training, progressive relaxation, meditation, and biofeedback to name a few, most of these take conscious effort. With the breakthrough of the ZenFrames, you don’t have to “believe in” or “do” anything. You are immersed in the experience and don’t have to create it.
Can Everyone Use CVR and the ZenFrames?
Generally speaking, any person can achieve alpha/theta brainwave states and can benefit from CVR. Persons with severe mental disorders should not use the ZenFrames. Flashing lights have been known to trigger seizures in certain cases. While this disorder is rare, people who have a seizure disorder of any kind should not use the lights. These people can still benefit from CVR without the lights. If you are unsure, ask your doctor before proceeding.
What is the best time to listen to a CVR Audio Session?
Most people find the best time to listen to CVR audio sessions is in the afternoon or upon arriving home from work. This allows you to feel rested and relaxed so you can enjoy a stress-free evening. Others find that listening first thing in the morning is optimum. Morning sessions can give you the boost you need to start your day with a positive mental attitude. If you tend to have trouble falling asleep at night, then listening right before bed can help retrain your brain’s sleep patterns. These sessions are designed to guide you into deep sleep so you awaken refreshed the following day. There is no bad time to listen as long as you can take 20 to 24 undisturbed minutes. If you are under a great deal of stress, we recommend you listen at minimum once a day, although twice a day is even better, and three times a day is excellent.
What if I fall asleep during a CVR audio session?
Although to the casual observer it might appear that you are asleep, it is more likely that you are in a deep state of theta, or on the threshold of sleep. If you return to conscious awareness at the end of the CVR audio session, then you were not asleep, but just in a deep, natural state of relaxation. If you should fall asleep, there is no need for concern. The other-than-conscious mind will use the last pieces of information and incorporate them into your dreams. The brain, being a goal striving system, will continue to use the powerful information to solve problems and create positive results in your life. The most important thing is to relax, allow, and accept the benefits you experience by mastering the relaxation response.
How many CVR audio sessions are there and how do I choose the most appropriate sessions for me?
There are over 380 different CVR audio sessions, and deciding which one is best for you can be confusing. For this reason, Dr. Porter has made it simple by focusing these sessions less on what to think, and more on how to think. In other words, his CVR audio sessions are designed to train you in new ways of thinking that can be applied to any area of your life. Dr. Porter recommends that you simply read the title and description. If the results mentioned resonate with you, listen to that session and let yourself enjoy creating the life changes you want.
If someone is skeptical, will the CVR Audio Sessions still work?
A healthy dose of skepticism is natural. We don’t expect you to believe that CVR will work miracles in your life. We only ask that you suspend your disbelief long enough to experience the process. Since the relaxation response is physiological, you don’t have to “believe in” anything to experience the benefits. Well over 90% of the people who achieve the relaxation response are convinced that CVR technology has the power to improve their lives. Our occupational research suggests that, after 3-4 sessions, almost everyone who uses CVR audio technology can reach the deeply relaxed states of alpha and theta.
How long are the CVR audio sessions?
PureCreation has CVR sessions that last anywhere from 10 to 35 minutes. The 10-minute sessions are used in the Enlightened Children Series and in the morning motivations, while the longer sessions are used for meditation or to help the listener overcome insomnia. Most CVR audio sessions are around 20 minutes, the optimum time for achieving the mind/body connection and activating the relaxation response.
How Does CVR Produce Such Amazing Results?
The CVR system is designed to program behaviors so they become natural, unconscious, and automatic. You know how to drink water. You know which foods are more natural for your body. You know what exercise is. You already have these abilities. Our focus is not to give you these abilities but rather to give you a response to those abilities, creating responsibility. This is the purpose of CVR; it gives you the skills for responding to your own abilities. CVR provides the motivation, the determination, and the drive to succeed. It’s a common experience that what the mind thinks about the mind brings about. The ZenFrames help you to get into that powerful state where you can impress upon your mind the results you want in life.
What if I’m Afraid of Losing Control?
Our culture teaches us to strive for control in our lives. However, what we think is control can quickly shift into stress, fear and anxiety. You are actually in more control while you are in the alpha/theta states because you gain discretionary access to your other-than-conscious mind, allowing you to tune into your thoughts, feelings, and emotions on a deeper level. With the help of the ZenFrames and the CVR programs you choose, you will gain focus while creating positive habits and behaviors, which mean you finally gain the kind of control you really want.
How Important is the Music and Sound?
The best brainwave entrainment is auditory as well as visual. Environmental sounds and music have been used for centuries in almost all cultures to create an altered state of consciousness. For example, native tribes used drums, chants, and environmental sounds like wind and rain to provide strong mental pictures and associations. There is a reason we find it relaxing to sit by the ocean and listen to waves crashing to shore or the sound of a stream as it trickles over rocks. These pleasant sounds tend to naturally generate alpha brainwave activity.
In today’s frenetic culture, though, we rarely get to enjoy nature’s relaxing effects. For this reason, Dr. Porter has personally encoded each session so that on a daily basis you can get a perfectly synchronized experience similar to that which nature provides. Plus, because the program is encoded into the digital MP3 file, you can use any of today’s high quality music players, such as the iPod or iPad, to ensure the best possible experience.
The music you hear on every PureCreation process was composed specifically to complement the alpha/theta brainwave entrainment. The music is designed to create a full 360-degree experience that floods your mind with beautiful images and peaceful thoughts.
