The H+ tapes (yes they were all analog tape back then), were each designed to take you into a deep state of relaxation. Once there, you would “instruct yourself” on certain behavior modifications or improvement you wanted to make. The technique…

Here is the instruction to all of you.

Here is the instruction to all of you.

The following week Bob and I went through the production techniques for the H+ series. The job was easy. Somewhat boring, if I may be frank. There were three tape machines involved. One contained a sub mix and was in VHS audio format. I was told that his sub mix had voice and Hemi-Sync. Another…
