Recently I have begun using audio visual devices to help give my brain a good work out. It literally recreates the brainwave activity of sleep dreaming and waking states. It is great for all round cognitive enhancement and its also portable! If you want to relax at the touch of a button I highly recommend this.

Using syncronised light and sound it guides you into deeper states of being freeing your mind an relaxing your body. You enter your own inner world space and experience a subtler dimension of your own being. You also get to completely free yourself of all tensions – there is no resistance and everything seems just fine.

Like most of us we want to fully engage life however many of us do not fully engage in our inner world and we all know the saying – “the outer is a reflection of the inner” It’s a cliche but at what level we actually “get this” is related to how aware we are of our inner dimension, our interior!

And also how it creates our outer world. We may even come to realise that the boundaries between inner and outer are not so easily defined. Exploring the inner world is more subtle and has been called by some psychonavigation. Tom Kenyon writes wonderfully on this topic and if this is something that appeals to you then I highly recommend visiting his website.

When we begin to explore our inner self we begin to intuit more and think less. Thinking may be there but it is less significant; our experience of sound colour and perhaps even subtle beings and landscapes is much more interesting. We take on a different body as it were – a subtle body. The subtle body has different tones and qualities from our gross body.

The subtle body is associated with alpha and theta brain wave patterns. It is correlated with trance states and the dream state. It is where mind programming is most effective and where we have access to latent powers we ordinarily aren’t aware of. Visualisation is enhanced at this level of the mind therefore it is a great state to be in when creating visualisations or intentions.

Modern science has identified four levels of thought. These are concrete thinking, conceptual thinking, subtle and causal thinking. These have also been described in vedic language and I recommend watching John Hagelin’s YouTube talks for a description of such.

The causal and subtle realms of thinking are where we most want to be – if we can access these deeper levels of mind then we will become more powerful in creating our own reality.

We will have more ideas experience greater harmony within and enter into flow states at will. Essentially It’s where the juice is. The causal realm is the level of the mind associated with deep dreamless sleep – it is also where we affect one another at a distance making distance healing a reality.

Regularly experiencing these states is one of the best ways to exercise the various dimensions of your own being and I highly recommend it as a personal and spiritual growth tool or even as a way to become more relaxed and get a better nights sleep.

Knowing how to Plan Effective Audio Visual Presentations is vitally important for every presenter and every business. You only get one chance to give a good and effective presentation and that presentation will have a lasting impression (good or bad) for yourself and your organisation. Your professionalism and abilities are on public display and you want to make sure that the impact is positive.

If your presentation is not effective then you are simply wasting valuable opportunity, time and money for little no result. This is as true for a simple sales presentation or training seminar, as it is for a major event or conference. Audio Visual equipment such as plasma, projector and screen are essential tools for effective presentations. Properly planning and organising the equipment setup for the event is as important as the event itself. Many events start late or are disrupted because the setup was not properly organised and setup was not completed on time. This causes disgruntlement to the people you are presenting to and gets your event off to a bad start. Sure you can apologise but are you still seen as disorganised or unprofessional.

It is important to have or hire the right AV equipment (and staging and lighting if necessary) to aid the presentation and give impact to the event you are planning and to make sure that it is suitable for the size of the audience (whether it be one person or hundreds of people), there are some basic rules to follow.
Use Professional AV Equipment – You should always use professional equipment to project professional image. For instance, if using a projector you should also use a proper projector screen or projection surface. Projecting onto walls often detracts from the quality of the presentation and detracts from the professionalism of the presenter and power or impact of the presentation.
Make everything simple so that you can just concentrate on giving the presentation. If you are mucking around with technology during the presentation you will be less effective.
Planning the detail for your event or presentation is crucial to the success of any event. Don’t leave anything to chance or rely on the common sense of others, this is the first rule because common sense in no longer common practice.
Know or learn your subject or material and rehearse the presentation – This will give you confidence during the presentation and increase your personal effectiveness when you are a presenter or doing any public speaking.
Remember that most presenters are standing to get the full attention of their audience. This can be uncomfortable. It is best to move around occasionally and try to wear comfortable shoes.
Properly organise your Technology – You do not want to be mucking around with technology while you are speaking or presenting. It will distract you and the audience. It is extremely helpful to be able to direct the attention of your audience to a particular point on your screen to refocus their concentration occasionally. You can address both of these things with a small simple (all-in-one) integrated remote control and laser pointer is a plug and play device that attaches to you laptop. It will enable you to start and stop the presentation and move slides backward and forward from any position in the room and its laser pointer can point on to the screen from anywhere.
