Choose a quiet place, put on headphones or earbuds, close your eyes, and begin with guided relaxation.
Allow images or thoughts to arise at your own pace. You can stop the audio, open your eyes, or return another day.
The session concludes with mindfulness, positive affirmation, self-esteem building and gentle motivation.
Eyes closed in a quiet, safe place for the guided one-hour experience.
An alternate 40–60 minute approach described for repetitive or obsessive thinking.
Care comes first. Do not use Se-REM if you may be susceptible to seizure-triggering stimuli. Strong emotions can arise; arrange support, stop if overwhelmed, and seek a licensed professional when needed. If you are in immediate danger, call emergency services.
