Make the most of Som’s powerful features

Som’s 18-level NSDR masterclass is just the beginning of what’s possible. Once you’ve mastered key skills, Som empowers you to create personalized and unique practice sessions tailored to your preferences. Simply set the duration, and with a single tap, Som generates a brand-new session each time, using only the techniques you’re already familiar with.

But don’t let the simplicity fool you — Som also offers a suite of powerful customization options, giving you full control over your experience if you choose to. Just by tapping “More Options” instead of “Quick Start”, you can fine-tune your session to suit your goals and needs. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the customization features available in Som’s practice mode:

1. Open-Ended Sessions

Prefer to drift into deep relaxation or sleep at the end of your practice? The open-ended option provides 10 minutes of non-guided time, either in silence or with soothing background music. This is perfect for integrating your own practices, such as visualization or breathwork, or simply letting go into restorative rest.

2. Extended Resolve

The resolve is a cornerstone of NSDR, helping you visualize and achieve meaningful life goals. By default, you’ll state your resolve at the beginning and end of each session. With the extended resolve option, you can dedicate more time to this practice, transforming it into a powerful visualization exercise for deeper impact.

3. Binaural Relaxation

Harness the science of sound with the binaural relaxation option. Early research suggests that binaural tones—different sound frequencies played in each ear—can promote relaxation and other brain effects. Selecting this option integrates a 4 Hz binaural tone during the first portion of your session, ideal for encouraging deep relaxation and sleep.

4. Emotion Release Breathwork

Looking for a deeper emotional reset? With the emotion release breathwork option, you’ll begin your session with a guided breathwork sequence designed for deep emotional release. This preparatory practice is an excellent way to enhance your NSDR experience and let go of built-up tension.

5. Skill Customization

As you progress through Som’s skill sessions, you’ll unlock the ability to include specific skills—such as memory processing or the manifestation of opposites—into your practice. Som can generate sessions centered around any one of these skills, while still providing a unique and dynamic experience each time.

Final thoughts

Whether you’re seeking a guided pathway to rest, a tailored visualization for goal achievement, or an advanced practice customized to your journey, Som adapts to meet your needs.
