WHAT IS BETAR?

BETAR is the ultimate sound relaxation system. Users lie on a comfortable bed while their favorite music washes through them, takes them for a vibroacoustic audio ride that is as exciting, as tranquil, or as joyous as the music they select or is provided by the operator. Specially tuned speakers, or transducers, mounted down the length of the bed allow users to feel the music ripple directly through them in complete comfort without excessive volume. Top quality headphones place the rider of a Standard Edition BETAR system in the center of a personal sanctuary of healing. Riders of Pro and Master Edition BETAR systems float in space in a geodesic framework that is positioned at the focal point of a powerful eight-unit speaker array that guarantees complete immersion within their songs, symphonies and soundscapes.

WHY IS BETAR BENEFICIAL?

Stress plays a role in many of the leading health challenges of our time. Consider these statistics developed by the Cleveland Clinic, one of the nation’s top four hospitals hospitals according to US News and World Report.

• Forty-three percent of all adults suffer adverse health effects from stress.
  Seventy-five to 90% of all doctors’ office visits are for stress-related ailments and complaints.
• Stress is linked to six of the leading causes of death: heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis of the liver, and suicide.
• The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) declared stress a hazard of the workplace. In terms of lost hours due to absenteeism, reduced productivity and workers' compensation benefits, stress costs American industry more than $300 billion annually.
• The lifetime prevalence of an emotional disorder is more than 50%, often due to chronic, untreated stress reactions.

Music is a widely recognized source of stress relief for both healthy persons and those suffering from health problems. A 2001 study conducted by the University of Maryland Medical Center indicated found that students who listened to a well-known gentle classical piece of music during a stressful task had reduced feelings of anxiety, heart rate, and blood pressure.

Vibrocoustic music therapy (VMT) produces music that is both heard and felt through a combination of audio and tactile stimulation. VMT has been noted as a highly effective method of eliciting the relaxation response, as well as other positive emotional and physiologic changes. In 2000, the Ella Milbank Foshay Cancer Center at Jupiter Medical Center, Florida, implemented a vibroacoustic music therapy program using a Standard Edition BETAR with the goal of reducing patient pain and symptoms resulting from cancer and cancer treatment. The corresponding study of a group of 27 patients between the ages of 33 and 78 revealed a 61% to 74% decrease of pain and symptoms.

BETAR users consistently report feelings of complete relaxation by the end of their sessions, with riders commonly finding the experience to be both transformational and cathartic. Many users experience emotional responses far beyond what could be expected from a mere listening experience. The secret is in the BETAR transducers, which are positioned within the table in order to directly stimulate the areas of the body that Chinese and Hindu philosophers consider to be the human body’s natural energy centers. Eastern and Western medicine agree that these energy nodes are located in the same positions as the core elements of the endocrine system, the glands that secrete the hormones that control the body’s growth, metabolism and reproductive functions. Like the sacred chants that Eastern Monks use to meditate and stimulate their energy centers, the music and sounds played through the BETAR transducers resonate through users in ways that can melt away deeply held patterns of stress, tension and pain.
