2 Introduction
Section 2, Operating Mind’sEye explains how to use each type of programming
option. For convenient reference each one is presented in its own section:
• 50 Pre-set Sessions
• DownLoad Sessions
• Using External Audio with Internal Sessions.
Section 2 also provides important information about the care and use of your Mind’s
Eye, tips for the first time user, and a special Question & Answer section.
Section 3, Session Descriptions lists Mind’sEye’s 50 pre-set sessions, convenient-
ly grouped according to category—Relax, Explore, Learn, Change, and Energize. Each
session tells you which program keys you need to enter to select the program, plus a
brief description of the session.
Section 4, Author Biographies lists biographical information on the session au-
thors and a list of selected references.
Many of you will be anxious to try out your new Mind’sEye right away. You can be-
gin immediately by referring to the
Quick Start Instructions on page 19. They
serve as a handy reference outline for the basic steps to running a pre-set session. Be
sure to take some time later, though, and fully read the operation section carefully!
Although operation is very simple once you’ve done it a few times, there is important
information you will need to know in order to take advantage of all the program-
ming options Mind’sEye has to offer.
Mind State Management:
the Software of the Mind
by Frank Young, Ph.D.
People who learn to control inner experience will be able to determine the
quality of their lives, which is as close as any of us can come to being happy.
(Csikszentmihalyi, 1990, p. 2)
In his book, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience , one of the foremost authors
on the phenomena of peak experiences, Csikszentmihalyi, outlines the state of unity
between subject and object, the observer and the observed, a total blend of process
and outcome. This state of complete focus can also be described as the result of a
learned skill or habit. Mind State Management (MSM), the skill of matching activa-
tion state and mental focus to the task at hand, is now available to virtually anyone
who is willing to learn it. Once the cherished domain of a few yogis and supreme
meditators, this ability can now be learned through the recent advances in the field
of neurotechnology.
