SAMONAS is an acronym for "Spectral Activated Music of Optimal Natural Structure". This identifies a new procedure
for spectrally activating sounds used in the production of all recorded media for Sound Therapy.
This process builds on the knowledge of Dr. A. Tomatis (electronic ear), E. Schumann (formant laws) etc. In addition, it
incorporates many recent advances found in the SAMONAS CDs. (Laterality, spatial hearing, etc.).
The high frequency sound matrix of SAMONAS CDs, gives a "micro massage" of the middle ear and enhances alertness in the
temporal lobe of the human brain. This ensures an immediate, neurological effect in many areas of the body as well as on the
psychological level of human hearing due to the particular organic specification of the ear and brain. The body's own memories
are naturally awakened.
The therapeutical applications of SAMONAS Sound Therapy have been practised for many years. It affects the brain and
nervous system directly through the sense of hearing and can be used to improve hearing. It can be used to improve
psychological and physical conditions such as hearing, learning difficulties, voice problems and behavioural disturbances which
are causally associated with the area of acoustic perception. Some problems, especially by Tinnitus and Stress are helped by
listening to the CDs.

Concept of Syn-Energy. Music and Nature. Alpha and Omega. CS 912 CD
Acoustic sounds from nature and music which are based on the harmonies of Earth, Sun, Moon and the Stars. Throughout
human development we have been confronted with the harmonies of the cosmos, and these sounds have a profound impact on
our lives, important in an age where we appear to be in ever increasing disharmony with our surroundings. Deeply relaxing, the
listener enters the Theta and Delta regions. Relaxation is achieved by time space transformation of natural sounds, energising
occurs through the spectral activation of sounds. After an exhausting, stressful day listen to Track 2, before an important challenge listen to Track 1.
Listening to this CD whilst learning can give amazing results.

Concept of Syn-Energy. Nature Sound Synergy. CS 913 CD
Movement and deep relaxation are the fundamental principles of our nature. This recording, made at an important place for
natural acoustics, has the sea in combination with the sounds of Jupiter and the Sun, produced by a Tibetan bowl. The CD
allows deep relaxation through stimulation of Theta and Delta, as well as energising through spectral activation. The two tracks
are introduced by a piece of music which is in pure tuning. Track 2 is especially suitable for people who want deep relaxation
without distracting influences.
