The safest way to start using Shakti is to apply one of the wave forms over each side of your head for about 10 minutes. As soon as you get a sense of it's being pleasant or unpleasant, you'll have learned what you need to know -

One side will feel more pleasant than the other. Use that wave form over that side of your head.

Most people will end up with one wave form on each side of their head this way, but a few will have both on one side.

Please read this warning below, and look at the animation. It will teach you another point of neuroscience that will help you understand how Shakti works.

In this Example,

The Hippocampus is shown blue. The Amygdala is shown Red.

In this example, we're seeing hippocampal activity spilling over into the amygdala. It can also go the other direction.

Shakti is applied using only one wave form in sessions longer than 10 minutes only in special situations.
When using only one signal, you shouldn't go on too long. Using one at a time for testing should be limited to short sessions. I suggest between 5 and 10 minutes on each side. Then ask your self which was nicer. It should be quite obvious. After that, for you, that signal belongs on that side. People who ignore procedures might find themselves feeling bad after their session.

If you do a longer session using only one wave form, and the experience is being pleasant, you might suddenly find the session suddenly turning unpleasant.

Shakti is applied using only one wave form in extended sessions only in special situations.

This represents the hippocampus receiving a stimulation over time. The view is from the left, but let's pretend it's the right hippocampus. You can see how activity in the right hippocampus (positive thoughts) can 'spill' into the right amygdala (negative emotions). In this scenario, a nice session where visual imagery might have been happening, might suddenly have a burst of anxiety intrude.

A burst of anxiety or fear is usually a sign that a using the hippocampal signal has gone on too long. The appearance of negative thoughts or visual imagery is a sign that an amygdaloid session has gone on too long. To end the anxiety or unpleasant thoughts or images, end the session. Don't be worried. The positive structure you were working with will have had more activity than the intruding one, so once the bad mood has passed, it will be less likely to return than the nice one that happened during the session.
