Frequently Asked Questions
When Bill sat down to write this section of the website, he asked himself what he would want to know when evaluating a personal growth program. Here, are the real questions we want answers to when we buy something—followed by the typical FAQ questions you usually find on a website.
Will Holosync really work for me? I’ve tried other programs and I didn’t change very much. Can I really trust that yours will work?
Yes, for three reasons:
First reason: There’s an important reason why you didn’t get everything you wanted from the other courses you’ve purchased. In fact, it’s something so fundamental that without it, all the information in the world about personal growth won’t help you. To get different results in life, you have to change four things: How you feel, how you behave, which people and situations you attract or become attracted to, and what meanings you assign to what happens. But for 99% of people these things are created outside your awareness, in your unconscious mind. That’s why they’re difficult to change—for everyone, not just you.
To have a choice about these four aspects of life, you have to become aware of how you create them. Awareness is fundamental to your ability to have a choice in life. Without it, you can’t implement what you learn. And, Holosync creates that awareness. Without the awareness that allows you to see how you’re unconsciously creating these four aspects of your life, as you do it, it’s almost impossible to make significant changes, no matter how many personal growth courses you take. Holosync solves this problem at the most fundamental level because it make you much more aware.
Second reason: We’ve been offering Holosync for a long time—since 1989. Over 2.2 million people in 193 countries have already used Holosync to change their lives. It isn’t “new” and it isn’t unproven. We’ve been endorsed by nearly every personal growth teacher of any consequence, and by many well-known doctors, therapists, and other experts.
Therapists at the Veterans Administration have used Holosync to treat PTSD. Stephen Covey, author of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, included Holosync in their proposal to the U.S. Government for helping people with healthcare issues or justice system problems. I gave a three-hour address to the United Nations Values Caucus in 2003, and I’ve even shared the stage with the Dalai Lama. We’re well respected, and you can use Holosync with the confidence that it will work for you.
Finally, you can also check out the reviews we’ve received from Holosync users describing their positive results. This page also lists some of the reviews we've received from other experts and influencers from across the globe.
Third Reason: We offer a One-Year Money-Back Guarantee, so you can use Awakening Prologue for up to an entire year at no risk and find out for yourself what it will do for you. We take the risk, not you—and we can afford to do that because we know what will happen as you use Holosync. We wouldn’t be able to offer this liberal no-risk guarantee and stay in business for nearly three decades if Holosync didn’t do exactly what we’re promising.
I have to be careful what I spend. Can I afford it? Will it be worth it?
Of course only you can decide what you’re willing to spend to get the benefits I’ve described. I’ve learned over the years, though, that when someone says, “I can’t afford it,” what they’re really thinking is, “I’m skeptical that I’ll get the benefits, so I’m afraid to risk any money on it.” If you don’t think you’ll get the benefits, anything seems unaffordable.
Look at it this way, though: IF you really could get all the benefits I’ve described—a sharper mind, more creativity, more inner peace, more happiness, relief from emotional troubles, a much lower stress level, more confidence and motivation—and you KNEW you were going to get these benefits, wouldn’t you be willing to trade $1 a day to get them? Wouldn’t you be willing to trade the cost of a couple of coffee drinks a week to change your life? Of course you would.
With so many people using Holosync, we have an economy of scale that allows us to give you a lot for a very small price: the Holosync itself, a ton of practical information, tremendous “high-touch” support, lots of free extras (even beyond those I’ve listed because I continue to create new things to give to you after you’re already in the program)—and a lot more—for a very small investment on your part. And, you can pay in payments, if that helps. Finally, because of our One-Year Money-Back Guarantee you can use Holosync for an entire year and still get your money back, if you want.
Bottom line: Yes, it will be worth it. In fact, much more than you think.
How much control do I have over whether or not I get the benefits you’ve described?
If you use Holosync, as the directions indicate, your life will change in ways you can’t even imagine right now. We’ve created the tool; all you have to do is build it into your lifestyle. (See the next question for—believe it or not—a way to use Holosync without taking ANY time out of your already busy life.)
I’m concerned that I won’t be able to fit Holosync® into my life. I already have too much to do. How much time will it take to use Holosync®?
I know you’re busy. And, I don’t want to hand you another “problem” or to-do item (I don’t like it when people do that to me, either!). There is a way, however, that you can use Holosync and (literally) take ZERO time out of your busy day (see below).
Many people love sitting down with Holosync either to begin their day or to revive themselves at the end of the work day, and wouldn’t give up their listening session for anything. However…
Here’s how to use Holosync without taking a single minute out of your day: Wake up one hour before you want to get up, put on your headphones and press the play button. Lie back and let yourself drift away as you listen. When the listening session is over you’ll become alert again if you’ve drifted off—and, you’ll get out of bed (I promise) feeling better and more energized than if you had slept that last hour in the normal way. And, you’ll have accomplished your daily Holosync session without taking any time from your day. (A few people like to do the same thing but at the beginning of their sleep period.)
And, as you use Holosync, you’ll discover—as the other over 2.2 million other users have—that you will be MUCH more productive during the day and accomplish much more (and without the stress) in the same amount of time. So, actually, you’ll end up with the equivalent of MORE time.
Finally, you’ll look forward to your time with Holosync and your day will go much better when you’ve used it.
How quickly will I get the results you’ve promised?
Though it does create extremely fast results, Holosync isn’t a “30-day miracle” as many programs claim to be. However, the first time you listen Holosync is already creating changes in your brain (just as your body begins to change the first time you exercise).
Asking “when will the results show up” is kind of like asking “when will I see results from my exercising?” Holosync begins creating changes the first time you use it, but they aren’t always obvious right away. As they accumulate, though, you’ll wake up one day and say, “Wow. My mind seems clearer. I feel more peaceful. I’m less reactive.”
It’s impossible to expose yourself to Holosync on an on-going basis without experiencing dramatic positive changes, just as it’s not possible to exercise everyday without your body changing. Holosync WILL create the changes I’ve described—and do so faster than the other things you’ve tried. Still, don’t expect a lifetime of “stuff” to be cleared away in a month. Make Holosync like brushing your teeth—just do it each day and then forget about it and go about your business. Trust me—the changes will happen, even if they don’t unfold in the way you thought they would.
I’m concerned that I might not do this right. Will I get all the help I need?
Boy will you! We pride ourselves on making sure you completely understand how Holosync works, how to use it properly, how to recognize its effects, and what to do about them (if anything). We provide support by phone, email, video, audio, and in written form.
We are always there to answer your questions, discuss your experience with you, or to help in any other way. You, of course, have to take advantage of our help. We’ll give you as much (or as little) hand-holding as you need. We’re experts in helping you manage rapid, accelerated growth and change. And, after a while YOU’LL be an expert, too.
And here are the more typical FAQs you were expecting:
What is Holosync audio technology?
Holosync is a sophisticated form of neuro-audio technology allowing the listener to easily enter various desirable states, and creating many desirable mental, emotional, and spiritual changes, through entrainment of electrical patterns in the brain. This creates a synchronization, or balance, between brain hemispheres, enhancing mental/emotional health and mental functioning. In the process, new neural connections are created between the right and left brain hemispheres, leading to what is known as “whole brain functioning.”
In addition to states such as accelerated learning ability and enhanced creativity, Holosync can help a listener easily enter and benefit from states of deep meditation, until now accessible only to long-time meditators practicing many hours a day for many years.
Holosync audio tones are delivered to the nervous system using a low carrier frequency stimulus, masked by pleasant music and environmental sounds, which drives the nervous system to progressively higher levels of functioning. Through precise sound patterning based on over twenty years of research, Holosync creates a “push” in the brain which causes the brain to reorganize at higher levels of awareness and functioning, in much the same way a runner gives his or her body a physical stimulus to cause it to reorganize at higher levels of physical ability.
Typically, listeners show impressive improvements in emotional health, a whole range of mental abilities, self-awareness, ability to meditate deeply, personal motivation, sense of spiritual connection, and a number of other areas.
Holosync is based on research done at Mt. Sinai Medical Center, the Menninger Clinic, and a number of other research facilities, and is currently used by hundreds of thousands of people in over 193 countries.
What equipment do I need to use Holosync?
If you’re using Holosync on CDs, any stereo headphones and CD player will work fine. If you are using downloadable MP3s you can use your smartphone, iPod, iPad, or other similar devise. Of course the better the quality of equipment, the better the sound quality will be. Even lesser sound quality, however, won’t diminish the results you’ll get (it’s just slightly less pleasant to listen to, as with any recording). Since equipment quality won’t hinder the effectiveness of the Holosync, it’s not necessary to spend a lot of money on audio gear.
Do I NEED to use headphones with these soundtracks?
Yes. The Holosync technology is a stereo effect where we direct certain frequencies into each ear, targeting certain parts of the brain. Always use stereo headphones for ANY Centerpointe soundtrack unless we SPECIFICALLY tell you that it isn’t required.
We do, by the way, sell several grades of good-quality headphones for below retail prices. For more information, call our offices: 503-672-7117.
What’s involved in putting my Holosync on a Digital Music Player, iPod, or MP3 Player?
Many people put Holosync on their phone or other device. If you place the files from our CDs or downloadable MP3s on your playing device they will work just fine.
Is Centerpointe affiliated with any religious or political organization?
Nope. Centerpointe isn’t pushing any particular religion or philosophy (other than the latest research on what leads to greater mental functioning, healthier emotional health, lower stress, and greater happiness). Holosync is compatible with any outlook (or no outlook), and using Holosync will deepen your faith if you have a faith-based approach to life.
Centerpointe isn’t affiliated with any religious or political organization, and there’s no philosophy or belief system you must adopt (other than that it’s possible to be happier and more highly functioning).
There’s no poison kool-aid, no guru, we’re not stockpiling arms and ammunition, and we’re not waiting for a comet or mother ship from another galaxy to appear. We’re an independent, for-profit, company dedicated to providing people around the world with a very powerful personal growth program and the support and information necessary to get the most benefit from it.
Does the Centerpointe program replace conventional meditative practices?
Holosync takes the listener into the brain wave patterns of deep meditation in a way that creates the same results as a traditional meditation practice, but about 8x faster.
Many traditional meditators are at first skeptical about this, but after using Holosync for a while they’re quite amazed at how much deeper and more fulfilling their meditations are, and how much more quickly they experience significant results.
Is Holosync totally safe?
Holosync, though quite powerful, is totally safe when used properly. The brain waves Holosync creates are naturally occurring and you already experience them every day—though probably not the optimum amount of some of them (one reason why your life could be working a lot better!).
Over 2.2 million people in 193 countries have used Holosync since 1989 and no one has ever reported any harm whatsoever from using it, other than transitory upheaval as part of the accelerated change process.
If you follow the directions and take to heart the suggestions in the support materials, your use of Holosync should be smooth and easy.
Are there any subliminal messages on the Awakening Prologue soundtracks?
Nope. All of the effects are due to the Holosync stimulus, which carries no actual spoken information.
In the custom made levels that follow Awakening Prologue we add (optional) silent affirmations, chosen by you and recorded in your own voice. Even then, the driving force of the program is Holosync and positive changes it creates in the brain.
I have hearing loss. Will the soundtracks work on me?
As long as you have some hearing, Holosync will work. You don’t even need to have equal hearing in each ear. Any amount of hearing in each ear will be enough. People have even reported results when the hearing was entirely by bone conduction.
