The idea, briefly

Guided AVE sessions

Every session in 6th Mind is audio-visual entrainment (AVE): light and sound pulsing together at a steady rhythm. It's the method we use in our practice office in Sofia. These two packs add a voice that teaches one small skill over six sessions, with techniques drawn from mindfulness and cognitive approaches. The guidance thins out as you go, until the last session is mostly yours.

A quiet mind runs in theta, the slow, drowsy band. Each session starts a little faster, to meet a busy mind where it is, slows down into theta and rises back to a calm, awake alpha at the end. You don't fight your thoughts or argue with them: you notice one, give it a one-word name and let it pass, like a leaf on a stream.

A lighter mind holds alpha at around 10 Hz, awake enough to remember. Each session brings back something small and good: one thing that's fine right now, a good memory, kindness toward someone, then toward yourself. In one lab study, recalling happy memories dampened the stress response (Speer & Delgado, 2017). Every session ends with one small thing to do next, and it's fine if nothing comes.

Wild sanctuary has no voice: six nature soundscapes, from a quiet grove to rain on the roof. Its last two go down toward sleep, so save those for the evening.

  1. A quiet mind

    Down into theta, back to alpha

    Let it pass

  2. A lighter mind

    Alpha, around 10 Hz

    Let it get a little lighter

  3. Wild sanctuary

    Nature soundscapes, no voice

    Unwind, or drift off

6th Mind is a wellbeing tool, not a medical device. If low mood stays or gets worse, talk to a professional.

Questions

What's in Quiet Mind?
3 Mental 6-packs, 18 sessions in all: A quiet mind, A lighter mind and Wild sanctuary. A quiet mind and A lighter mind are guided programmes.
Do I need Premium?
Premium is the simplest way: one subscription installs all the packs at once and also unlocks every other paid pack. Each pack is also sold on its own in the Session library, if you'd rather buy one and keep it.
Do I need the app?
Installed packs play here in your browser as audio. The full experience, with light synchronised to the sound, is in the free 6th Mind app for iPhone and Android.
Do I need headphones?
No. Headphones add binaural beats; without them, isochronic tones carry the same rhythm through any speaker, and the light works either way.
Will the sessions make me sleepy?
A quiet mind and A lighter mind won't put you to sleep: both end calm and awake, so they suit any time of day. Wild sanctuary is mixed. Quiet grove, Forest trail, Amber dusk and Open sky are for any time, but Rain shelter and Ancient ember go on down toward sleep, so keep those two for the evening.
How long are the sessions?
A quiet mind sessions run 15 or 20 minutes, one length each. A lighter mind and Wild sanctuary sessions are 11 minutes, or 6 in the short version.
Which app version do I need?
A quiet mind needs 6th Mind 2.0.5 or later, the first version that plays these longer, single-length sessions. If yours is older, update it from the App Store or Google Play. A lighter mind and Wild sanctuary play on any version.
Is this a treatment for anxiety or depression?
No. Quiet Mind is for everyday racing thoughts and low days. 6th Mind is a wellbeing tool, not a medical device. If low mood stays or gets worse, talk to a professional.
Is the light safe?
For most people, yes. The exception is photosensitive epilepsy: if you have a history of seizures, switch the light off and use sound only. Keep the brightness comfortable, and never play a session while driving.
Can I cancel Premium?
Yes, anytime in the 6th Mind app (My Profile). Your access lasts until the end of the period you've paid for. Premium is $5.99 a month or $39.99 a year.
