We recommend that you drink a glass of water prior to your session. If

PRECAUTIONS
Traumatic Childhood Experiences
- The ALERT can cause the
release of suppressed memories. If traumatic memories surface during
or after a session, be certain to seek appropriate support.
Somnatic Shock
- If abruptly returning to a normal conscious state, a
mild case of somnatic shock can result, leaving the user feeling
disoriented, nauseous, or experiencing a mild headache. All preset
sessions in the ALERT are programmed to end with the lights fading
out (Soft Off
TM
) to avoid somnatic shock.
Orthostatic Hypotension
– Occasionally when a person becomes very
relaxed during a session, his/her blood pressure may fall significantly.
We advise rising slowly after a session.
