  1. What is the NXTLynk™ light and sound machine?

    The NXTLynk™ machines use blue L.E.D.s (light emitting diodes) and binaural beats (sounds) that pulse at specified frequencies. Each of our NXTLynk™ systems gently guide the user from the wide awake state into the best state for learning. Each session leads the user's mind from normal waking consciousness to a variety of altered states of consciousness. The process is very similar to a cycle of sleep that you would enter into each night. Each NXTLynk™ system is a mini computer, which stores and serves sessions to the user. The NXTLynk™ system is specifically encoded to play only that user's information. If your NXTLynk™ system is damaged it is easy for the NewReality staff to reassign all of your purchased sessions to your new machine. Your data is always available at your NewReality personal web page. <Back to Top>


  2. Can I play my NewReality files on other MP3 players?

    The NXTLynk™ uses a patent pending encoding and encryption process. Although these files play like MP3 files, they are actually NXT files. Your computer does not have the software to play these files. The NXT Software is part of the NXTLynk™ system and is how each session is programmed to trigger the light and sound process as it relates to each specific session. <Back to Top>


  3. Who can benefit from using the NXTLynk™ technology?

    Anyone who is not sensitive to flashing light and would like the benefits of stress reduction. The NXTLynk™ in combination with Creative Visualization & Relaxation (CVR) create a powerful tool to focus the power of the mind and keep one focused on results in their life.<Back to Top>


  4. What happens when I have a CVR session?

    With special glasses - which look like sunglasses - over your closed eyes and headphones over your ears, you are immersed in a perfect mixture of cool blue light through closed eyelids. Some people experience colorful geometric patterns. Your eyes will be treated with specially designed frequencies and your ears with specially designed music to enhance your experience and invite a higher degree of alpha brainwave activity. The light and sound pulse rate shifts from wide-awake beta to a dreaming drowsy state of theta as the session progresses. Using the science of frequency following response (FFR), your brain wave activity will follow the pulse rate of the NXTLynk™ system and fall into synch with the changes. At the same time, your conscious mind learns to rehearse the changes or improvements you desire.<Back to Top>

  5. Can you give another explanation of how CVR works?
    One of the best definitions of CVR came from a satisfied client, who said, "CVR is like this: my body is asleep, but my mind is awake." CVR is a natural state, very much like sleep. In CVR, you are going to be given information that you want to apply when you are awake. This is called a post-CVR suggestion. It works like a sticky note. You write yourself a little note and post it somewhere as a reminder. Most people really want to make a change. They have all the best intentions in the world, but they never rehearse the change. What we are going to do through CVR is rehearse new behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs and plant post-CVR suggestions into your mind, so that when you encounter old triggers, you're simply going to "forget to remember by remembering to forget." Through CVR, you will have programmed new behavioral responses to these triggers. You are going to be convinced that you can be tobacco-free, or lose weight, or reprogram any negative behavior. <Back to Top>

  6. How important is the music & sound?

    The entrainment mechanism is both visual and auditory. Environmental sounds and music have been used for centuries in many cultures to create an altered state of consciousness. Tribes would use drums, chants, and environmental sounds like wind and rain to provide strong mental pictures and associations - the same way people find it relaxing to go sit by the ocean and listen to waves crashing to shore, or to listen to a river flowing over rocks. These pleasant sounds are much more enjoyable and relaxing than one-note beeps or tones such as those used by other machines. NewReality incorporates the most sophisticated sound generation circuitry of any light/sound device, using a patent pending encryption process to employ digitally synthesized sound. Each session is fully synchronized with the light and audio program to ensure that the session starts and stops with precise timing.<Back to Top>

  7. What are "binaural beats?"

    Binaural beat generation is a sound feature on all NXTLynk™ systems. Using two sound synthesizers during the recording and encryption process and by specifying slightly different sound frequencies for the left and right channels, it is possible to induce a third frequency which is the difference between the left and right in the mind of the user. This is known as binaural beat frequency generation. The perceived beat frequency is how the NXTLynk™ system trains your mind to be in sync with the paired pulsing lights.<Back to Top>

  8. Why are blue LEDs used instead of incandescent lights?

    Light emitting diodes -- LED's -- are state of the art solid-state devices that convert small amounts of safe electrical energy into light. They can be switched on and off much faster than incandescent lights, producing the crisp strobe-like pulses which have been shown to be most effective at inducing the frequency following response needed to guide the user through the brainwave states. The blue LED was picked for its very pure cool color. Our operational research showed that users prefer the blue effect through closed eyes better than any other LED available. It is important to note that a person who is prone to seizures should not use the light portion of the NXTLynk™ system.<Back to Top>

  9. Is the NXTLynk™ effective without the use of the glasses?

    Yes. Although the best benefits can be reached by using the complete system including the LEDs and binaural beats, music therapy and guided imagery processes alone have been effective forms of relaxation long before the invention of the computer chip which makes the NXTLynk™ possible. <Back to Top>

  10. Is CVR safe?

    Completely. The two components to CVR - creative visualization and relaxation - are 100% natural and have no side effects... unless you count more restful sleep, a boost in energy, enhanced memory and concentration, and an overall sense of wellbeing! CVR cannot make you do anything you morally or ethically wouldn't do normally. In the history of CVR, there has never been a negative side effect. <Back to Top>

  11. What are some natural examples of creative visualization?

    Have you ever driven down the road so engrossed in your thoughts that you missed your exit? You were in such a deep state of concentration that you were completely unaware of your surroundings. That is a kind of CVR.
    Have you ever found yourself so enthralled in a TV show that you did not hear a family member calling your name? Perhaps, after several attempts, you finally tuned out the television show and tuned back into reality.
    CVR happens when we are doing what we enjoy. Whatever the hobby, time flies while you are actively enjoying your favorite activity. This is because we experience time differently while in the state of CVR. When Einstein developed his theory of relativity, he said this about time: "When you are with beautiful people for an hour, it seems like a minute. If you are sitting on a hot stove for a minute, it will seem like an hour!" <Back to Top>

  12. Can anyone use CVR?

    Generally speaking, every normal person can achieve a CVR state - that is, people with an I.Q. of at least 70 who have no severe mental disorders. Therefore, most anyone can take advantage of the benefits of the NXTLynk™ system. With your cooperation and a reasonable commitment, you can expect excellent results with the NXTLynk™ and our CVR programs. <Back to Top>

  13. How will I know I've reached the Alpha or Theta state?

    Everyone's experience is uniquely different. No two people experience the same feelings or sensations while using the NXTLynk™ system. You could experience lightness, heaviness, or a tingling sensation. You might even start to feel your eyes quiver. You might tear up. All of these things are indications of being in the state the NXTLynk™ is designed to take you. <Back to Top>

  14. How does the NXTLynk™ and CVR produce effective results?

    What we are going to do in CVR is program behaviors so they are natural, unconscious, and automatic. Do you know how to drink water? Do you know how to eat naturally? Do you know how to exercise? So you have these abilities, right? So our job is not to give you the abilities. You already have those. Our job is to give you a response to those abilities, to create responsibility. That's what CVR does. We are responding to your own abilities. CVR provides the motivation, the determination, and the drive to succeed. That's what you want, isn't it? <Back to Top>

  15. What if I'm skeptical -- what will take that away?

    When you begin to notice that you're creating a new reality in your daily habits and behaviors, your skepticism will vanish! <Back to Top>

  16. Is it safe for me to drive after I have had a session of CVR?

    Yes, it's safe for you to drive after a session on the NXTLynk™ system. You will find you feel refreshed, just like you would if you went on a mental vacation. When you come out of the relaxation state, you will feel positive and recharged, as if your entire being has changed. If you feel "groggy", ask for a drink of water. <Back to Top>

  17. What is the youngest age you can work with?

    As long as they can sit still in a chair for 20 or 30 minutes, we can work with them. We have worked with clients as young as seven years old. <Back to Top>

  18. What changes am I supposed to be making?

    It's different for everyone. Most people see results after their first visit. Some results are going to be slower than others. Remember to pace yourself and not try to do everything at once. Just take it little by little. <Back to Top>

  19. How fast should I experience results?

    If you are following all the components of the program exactly as laid out, you should begin noticing immediate changes. <Back to Top>

  20. Why do I have listen to the processes at least twice a week?

    Just like athletes need practice to perfect their skill, listening to your processes will help you perfect the skill of eliminating unwanted behaviors. <Back to Top>
