In order to do Free Solo Processing you will need a Meter. There are many kinds and marks and fabrications and prices. Below is a skematic drawing of a Meter. See also photos below.

The Meter measures electrical resistance (Ohms) via 2 hand held electrodes, also called cans. When you look in your Mind then the electrical resistance in your body will change depending on what you look at. These small changes can be seen on the Needle on the Meter. The changes are used to help finding and erasing unwanted things in your subconscious Mind. When getting nearer to heavy materials in the Mind the electrical resistance will normally increase, and then decrease as erasure is obtained.

The electrical resistance can be between about 500 Ohms up to about 1,000,000 Ohms. Normal range is 5000 Ohms for females and 12500 Ohms for males (with one electrode in each hand, a bit higher when both electrodes are held in one hand.) Dry, humid, or cold hands, light or hard grip on the electrodes of course also influence the resistance. Finding heavy material in the Mind can change the electrical resistance quite dramatically up and down.

For the technically interested is here a table of Tonearm positions and related Ohms values, and the voltage and current to the electrodes (1 micro Ampere = 0.000,001 A). It was measured on a Mark 6 Meter.

If you hold the electrodes in your hand, with the Needle at 'set' on the needle scale, if the Tonearm then points to 4.0 then your skin resistance is 26,700 Ohm, the Voltage difference between the two electrodes 2.45 Volt and the current passing through your hand is 0.000,092 Ampere (92 Micro Ampere). As it can be seen the current through the electrodes is very tiny.
At Sensitivity 32 and the Tonearm at 5.0: A drop in resistance from 62.000 Ohm to 60.700 Ohm gave a Needle fall of 1 inch. Or 51 Ohm per millimeter. It is more convenient to use the TA scale than the Ohm scale, 2 cifres instead of 3 to 6 cifres.

In order to solo you may need 4 things: 1. Getting a Meter. 2. Learn to use your Meter (Meter Course). 3. Learn to Solo (Solo Course). 4. Learning and doing for example what is here (the Free Solo Processing).

There are 3 ways to get a Meter:
1. Buy a new one (see below).
2. Buy a used Meter. For example from a Freezone org or an Internet auction.
3. Build your own Meter (see below)

There are 3 types of meters:
1) Manual meters. Here you have to use your hand to turn the Tonearm to get the needle at 'set'. This is the good old way. Notice most meters are for left hand use of the Tonearm. A few have the Tonearm placed so both right and left hand can be used.
2) Automatic meters. Here you just press a botton and the needle goes to set automatically. Easy and fine for normal processing.
3) Meters for a computer. An electronic box connects the electrodes to a computer running Microsoft Windows (via a serial port or USB port), where a computer program then shows the needle on the computerscreen, nice and easy. Although fast needle motion looks jerky on the screen, and the meter program and Windows may not be completely error free.

Preferably you should get a Meter with a counter of the downward motion of resistance changes (so called TA Counter, Balance Counter, or Baseline Counter) as that gives a clue to how much you get erased in Solo. Hard physical evidence. Your choice. Meters without a TA counter are cheaper.

Below are meters I have been able to find on the Internet. Prices are approximately February 2004. Prices in () I have found on other websites than the original so they may not be accurate. You may have to add up to 30% for postage, electrodes, and tax in some cases. I don't know many of the meters so I don't guarantee anything. Find out for yourself. If I should choose one it would probably be Clarity Meter (manual, usable for both left and right hand), or Ability 3a (automatic), or C-meter 4 (for a windows computer), or GSR Meter (value for little money, but no TA counter), or a Mark 6 (a used one). The Scientology E-Meters I only recommend if you can get a used one cheap from someone outside. The rechargeable battery may need replacement, it lasts 8-10 years. You might be able to do it yourself(?) A bit complicated if the battery has 3 wires as some has. Use correct number of cells and right polarity not to ruin the Meter.

If you have no electrodes, you can use ordinary tin cans, the small ones, aprox. 5-6 cm in diameter, but they get rusty after some months of use. Or else use aluminum cans (for spray), they last forever. Remove any paint of course (sandpaper). For easy Solo use you can glue them together with for example epoxy. Make sure there is no electrical contact between them, of course.
