INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the world of Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE). Mind Alive Inc. is
dedicated to assisting you in your quest for wellness. Our patented DAVID
AVE devices allow various areas of the brain to work together in harmony.
By using your DAVID device you may experience your mind in a new and
beneficial way.
The DAVID devices integrate the necessary principles of audio and visual
stimulation to safely and effectively guide you into desired states of
relaxation, consciousness, attention, and boosted brain performance - ideal
for those who want to expand their personal development, boost their mood
and sharpen their mind. In order to obtain the maximum enjoyment and
benefits from your DAVID device, we have created this user guide to
introduce the core concepts of AVE, which will provide you with a starting
point for your journey of self-improvement.
AVE is a non-invasive form of stimulation: no electrical current is passed
through the user. All resulting effects are produced in the brain solely by the
audio-visual stimuli.
Cranio-Electro Stimulation (CES) is available on select DAVID devices. CES
technology does pass a small current of electricity through the user, but must
be actively initiated by pushing the CES buttons located on our CES-capable
DAVID devices. CES can be used in combination with AVE, or on its own.
USING THIS GUIDE
This guide is designed to be a companion and introduction to the world of
AVE. Everything you need to know about operating your DAVID device, and
the specific sessions contained within it, is included in the Operator’s
Manual. The information in this guide is provided to help you understand
what AVE is and how it can benefit you in your everyday life.
The first part of the guide contains an introduction to AVE principles and
concepts. We start by describing the method and cornerstones of AVE,
detailing the psychological and physiological benefits you may experience.
Several other concepts related to good mental health are also described.
The second part of the guide contains a self-guided survey to help you select
which types of sessions you may want to try. Part of the survey is designed
to help you identify areas of stress and anxiety in your life. The rest of the
survey will help you evaluate which session groups will provide you with
the most benefits.
