FAQs
PRACTICAL
How are my PPDs delivered?
* By Email directly to e mail address selected
Is my PPD complete?
* PPDs are typically 2 to 5.5 MB in size, is about 2 to 4 minutes long.
* With this come listening instructions.
* If the file with your PPD is different to this, send it back to us with a query.
All my PPDs sound the same
* All the PPDs that you get sound similar, but they are in fact all subtly but very different.
I bought my PPDs and they didn't arrive!
* PPDs take on average 3 to 5 days to arrive
Please check the following things before you contact us:
* Has it been more than 5 days since your purchase?
* Did you get an order confirmation immediately upon your purchase? (If not, tell us now.)
* Did you check your spam/junk e-mail?
* Is your inbox full? PPD files are up to about 5 MB each, so it’s a large parcel (Is there room for it in your inbox?)
* Have you checked your My PPD Zone and tried to download your PPDs from there?
If you have checked all the above and it takes more than 5 days for your PPDs to arrive, please contact us to check what went wrong.
How do I download PPDs from My PPD Zone?
Log into My PPD Zone and go to My Orders where you have a list of all your PPDs, click on „Download“ and save the chosen PPD onto your computer or any other device.
I can't download my PPDs from My PPD Zone
PPDs are about 5 MB of size each so you might already know how long that takes on your computer set up.
If you can't download it in a time usual for your broadband, please contact us.
If I miss a day or more, does it matter?
No
The PPDs seem too strong to me.
* If you feel that the PPDs act too strongly or disturb you too much, listen less often. Listen every other day perhaps.
* Give yourself and your PPDs more time to process your issues and follow your intuition as to how often to listen.
* See Listening Instructions.
Are these PPDs something like the new Walkman audio-visual device or like relaxation music or audio brain wave technology?
No is the short answer to all these.
* This is not like relaxation music, nor Brain Wave technology.
* The sea wave sounds we use are only the carriers of the technology, not the technology itself.
* Relaxation music has less technology within it and is not specifically targeting restrictive and limiting feelings or thoughts or highlighting your hidden qualities. It’s just generally relaxing.
* Music can be relaxing and enjoyable -- this is self evident --but it’s not a technology with a built-in focus.
Likewise, new gadgets like the audio/visual one discussed above are just that: cool gadgets without an underlying purposeful technology.
The same applies to other forms of brain wave stimulating sounds.
* They may well stimulate inner brain activity in a good and generally helpful way, but there is no specific targeting technology to it.
* It’s like a general mind tonic, possibly inducing helpful mind states that then help you.
* It’s helpful, but not a specific technology in the way PPD Resonance Technology exactly targets you conscious mind and the limiting, restrictive thoughts/feelings in you.
Will I become dependent or addicted when I stop PPDs?
* PPDs are not addictive.
Is it the sea waves that do it?
* No.
* It is the PPD Resonance Technology embedded in each PPD which does the job.
How long does it take for PPDs to work?
* While some effects and results can be quite clear immediately, or sometime within a day, for some people, repetition is normally needed over a period of 7- 9 days for each PPD.
* For example, if your confidence grows because your resistance to doing things has been reduced, your confidence may continue to grow and grow, and it will sort of become a self-fulfilling upward spiral, with the full implications of this lasting months or a year.
Is there a sequence to using PPDs?
The individual downloads are offered in a logical sequence for processing specific issues addressed by each PPD.
* Ask us for advice - contact us.
What are the ways to know that PPDs work?
Most often it is that fact that you feel calmer – most people see this themselves.
And also: Your coach, teacher, mentor, friend comments that come spontaneously.
Your sports ranking shifts, exam results start getting better, job promotion or unexpected pay increase happens etc.
Often quite simply you make big life changes.
FOR SCEPTICS
It’s hard to understand PPDs can work.
Yes, we understand and agree.
This is a normal and natural response.
* PPDs are unknown because they really are new technology.
* There is nothing quite like them.
* The only way to get over this hurdle in our opinion is to try one. There is no substitute for personal experience.
* The natural science behind the technology is as old as the hills, but the PC Resonance Technology is very new. We have checked this out and we have not found anybody else who has anything really like it, although there are many relaxation downloads. These just don’t have the technology.
Amongst the athletes and everyone else using PPDs, there was disbelief or at least some reservations that PPDs could do anything.
This was completely understandable for us.
The concept that there is something to which you can listen to for just 2- 4 minutes a day and see an improvement, in some cases dramatically, in your life or athletic performance is something completely new.
In line with this disbelief and even after quite remarkable performance results
* almost all of the athletes found PPDs a very hard concept to understand
* quite a few did not associate the effects of the PPDs with their performance.
For example, an international hammer thrower noticed general improvements in throwing, yet did not connect her achieving a consistent new personal best, which had not shifted in three years, at all to PPDs.
Success was not attributed to the training and PPDs, but only to training, as that is familiar.
Had we not monitored the athletes over the period and brought it to their attention, many would have missed the PPD effect completely in some cases!
Some common responses were as follows:
* ‘Is it really this easy? Only 4 minutes a day?’
* Oh, you’re the “magic waves” person! So it’s magic! -
In reality new things do happen. Who could have imagined the internet 30 years ago? Normally, when new things happen, they are first denied and ridiculed and later believed. Here are some quotes from the past:
* “Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible.” (Lord Kelvin, president of the Royal Society, 1895)
* “Unworthy of the attention of practical and scientific men.” (British Parliamentary Committee report on Edison’s electric light bulb).
You want to manipulate my mind!
* PPDs in no way manipulate the mind, but in fact stop the mind manipulating you.
* You are not your thinking, but you have belief structures and old emotions which limit you, many of them in fact.
* If you are riddled with the feelings of guilt or failure or that you are no good or will never succeed, these old thoughts are manipulating you!
* PPDs reduce these hidden but constantly manipulating thoughts.
* PPDs put you in charge!
GENERAL
I am not an athlete – can I use PPDs?
The answer to this question is simply yes. We give lots of athletic examples, results, testimonials, as this is a fruitful research area and where very concrete results are possible. Athletic results, like running faster are very measurable PPD effects. But the PPD effects apply equally to everyone.
What if I am sick, can PPDs help me?
* Sickness means that your mind and body energy structures are not necessarily working well, and if they are not working well, they may need repair first before using PPDs.
* You don't fine tune a car if the engine has a broken fan belt. You do the repair first.
What if I don't follow a healthy lifestyle?
* Again, you can't make a car run well on poor fuel, and if you are serious about improving your life, then you have to take the whole of your life into account and do all the obvious things that could make your body and mind work better.
* It's hard to imagine that if you eat badly and don't exercise that you really want to perform well or be fit.
* The mind and body are intimately connected, and for one to work well, you need the other one to do its best, too.
How do PPDs come to exist?
PPDs were invented by Peter Chappell and developed further by our team over a ten year period of research and development. The team took the original ideas and developed them into the present PPDs.
What about talk-talk therapies and coaching?
In Sports Coaching it is common to use techniques like mental toughness, mental preparation, emotional control, motivation, developing focus and to stress learning lots of moves by heart so that they become natural. While these are excellent techniques they are working from our perspective from the outside in and trying to deal with an invisible enemy, a disturbed mental core. Our PPD approach is to go straight to the disturbed mental core and use resonance to calm it down, to work on the inside out.. We have demonstrated that this works with well-established athletes. We think this is a win-win situation where the existing techniques will have a multiplier effect and will reach much deeper when used in combination with PPDs.
Talk-talk systems of therapy and coaching do not easily reach into the old reptilian brain and cannot readily deal with the survival level of a problem. There are many levels to the brain/mind, in simple terms the thinking mind, the nurturing mind, the survival mind and the conscious mind. The survival brain is not easily talked to and is very disturbed at the moment due to history and the future facing us and this is what needs dealing with. The conscious mind needs building up; its to do with concentration, focus and being present, in the zone.
Not only does this work from our experience with PPDs but it means that communication between athlete and coach also improve especially if both of them listen to PPDs because they are not then rattling each other's survival instincts. Any sense of threat for example is bound to activate survival instincts which is counterproductive to any form of communication.
Talks therapies and mental techniques then
* work more with the newer, frontal parts of the brain, but don’t reach the back.
* It took a long time to realise this.
* Stanislav Grof talks about it in his book Lessons from Modern Consciousness Research
* It seems that while psychological work with talk-talk therapies can be very helpful -- it can generate amazing insights, for example -- it has limitations as it doesn't get to the deeper issues. Even talk therapy of 20, 30 or 40 years doesn't do this. It's just not the right tool for the job.
This same idea applied to motivational speakers and seminars of this type.
They scratched well below the surface, and although they appeared great at the time, they don't go deep enough. They need the support of things like PPDs to make them last..
PPDs will support talk therapies and coaching, complement them, and add to them the parts that they did not manage to address.
