What is it about chocolate that makes it such an irresistible part of our life experience? Everyone loves the sensations a delicious piece of chocolate gives us and a chocolate gift hardly ever fails to create feelings of well-being throughout the whole body when ingested. Sure the smell and the taste of it alone could cheer anyone up, but there are actually a whole lot of chemical factors behind it that makes chocolate the ultimate happy treat.

A chocolate gift is so much more than the simple taste experience we normally think of it as. As soon as you bring the chocolate to your nose to have the first encounter with it smell-wise something starts happening in your brain. Scientific studies have found that the theta brainwaves tend to increase when we smell chocolate. This brain activity is present when we are relaxing deeply or when we are asleep. That’s why the pure smell of cocoa can bring about such a relaxed and pleasant state of mind.

When you finally are indulging in that amazing piece of chocolate and have its creaminess melting on your tongue, there is even more brain activity that is being released. Chocolate has been found in researches to have the property to increase the levels of both serotonin and dopamine in the brain. Both of these neurotransmitters in the brain brings about feelings of happiness and well-being.

The substance in chocolate that triggers the brain to produce more of these neurotransmitters is called tryptophan. When the serotonin is being released it brings about feelings of joy, excitement, elation and in some cases even ecstasy. Another natural ingredient in chocolate that is also used in the brain as a neurotransmitter is phenylethylalamine. When it is being activated in the brain after eating a delicious chocolate gift you can experience feelings of happiness, attraction and a general positive mood.

Some people compare eating a box of chocolate with having sex, and the comparison is not too far apart since they bring about similar emotions in our being and scientifically the activation in the brain is alike in both cases. Why do you think the number one gift on Valentine’s Day is chocolate gifts? You could compare the feeling of being in love with having an unopened truffle box in front of you. Chocolate definitely brings about a romantic feeling.

So when you want to give a gift to someone that will bring with it feelings of joy and happiness, give a chocolate gift and you ensure that the people you love will be touched by these feelings. A chocolate gift is always right.
Brainwave entrainment is a method to stimulate the brain into entering a specific state by using a pulsing sound, light, or electromagnetic field. The pulses elicit the brain’s ‘frequency following’ response, encouraging the brainwaves to align to the frequency of a given beat.

This ‘frequency following’ response of brainwave entrainment can be seen in action with those prone to epilepsy. If a strobe flashes at their seizure frequency, the brain will ‘entrain’ to the flashing light, resulting in a seizure.

On the positive side, this same mechanism is commonly used to induce many brainwave states; such as a trance, enhanced focus, relaxation, meditation or sleep induction. The brainwave entrainment effectively pushes the entire brain into a certain state.

Brainwave entrainment works for almost everyone. It is a great way to lead your mind into states that you might usually have difficulty reaching, allowing you to experience what those states feel like.

THE HYPE
There is a lot of marketing hype around brainwave entrainment. It is sold with promises of increasing IQ, promoting weight loss, ‘mind-tripping’, enhancing creativity, concentration, inducing spiritual states and more.

While these claims are not entirely true, they are not altogether false either. In practice, the claims are based on an overly-simplistic view of how the brain and the brainwaves function.
THE RUB
People are very seldom deficient in a certain brainwave type in all areas of their brain. Usually the distribution is much spottier, with an excess in one area and a deficiency in another.

We are all different, especially when it comes to the distribution of our brainwaves. Boosting a certain brainwave state may be beneficial for one person, and emotionally uncomfortable for another. Without knowing each person’s starting position, entrainment can be rather ‘hit and miss’.

If brainwave entrainment leaves you with unwanted side-effects (see below) or discomfort, you’re probably encouraging a range of brainwaves that are already excessive in some area of your brain. The way around this is to get a brain map to see what your brain’s strengths and weaknesses are, and see what (if any) brainwaves could use some encouragement.

What is insomnia?

Insomnia is a state when your normal sleep pattern is disturbed. It is a disorder which makes it impossible or difficult to either go to or stay asleep.

Symptoms can appear in various ways:

o difficulty falling asleep, frequent among young children,
o regular waking up during the night, frequent among the elderly,
o waking up too early in the morning,
o not feeling sufficiently refreshed to function normally despite having enough sleep.

Insomnia affects 1 in 3 people worldwide.
US Department of Health and Human Services conducted a survey which showed startling results of 64 million Americans who declare they suffer from insomnia each year.
In the United Kingdom approximately 7.5 million people are said to wrestle with the same problem.

These statistics show how widespread the problem actually is.

Causes of insomnia

Insomnia can be caused by numerous factors.

Among the most common are:

o Drugs or stimulants such us medications, caffeine, ephedrine, methamphetamine
o Noises from the outside such as traffic, snoring, loud music or neighbors
o Hormonal shift, common amongst women
o Antibiotics
o Stress, anxiety, worries
o Sleep disorder caused by disturbances of the circadian rhythm (common amongst travelers)

In some cases, insomnia is usually caused by different diseases, side effects from tablets or mental problems.

Solutions

Long lasting chronic insomnia can lead to psychological health problems such as depression, or addiction to alcohol or legally prescribed drugs in order to gain sleep.

Prescribing or taking any medication to prevent or avoid insomnia should be considered as a last resort.
There are other non invasive methods to solve or reduce the problem.

1. Start by setting aside an hour which you might like to call your ‘Bed Time Moments’. Repeat the activity each day, create a new habit, and continue until your sleep pattern stabilizes.

2. Before going to bed try to relax by listening to soothing music such as the one which transforms your brainwaves from the stressful beta brainwave state to a calm alpha state.

3. Try to avoid naps during the day, if possible

4. Start thinking positively and avoid thinking about the next day activities such as work responsibilities. What has to be done will be done the next day, so stop thinking all the time and switch off from everyday problems.

5. Keep away from caffeine products, especially a few hours before you go to sleep

6. Make sure you have a clean comfortable bed and pillows

7. Find an alarm clock which will gently wake you. One that can start playing a calming music cd to gradually increase your brainwaves from delta to theta to alpha waves. This method is by far preferable to the unpredictable sounds and noises of the radio or the shock of a bell or a buzzer! Using a light box programmed to wake you up in the morning, would be especially helpful in he dark winter months. Once you have set your alarm you don’t have to worry!
Of course assuming you have given yourself a healthy 8 hours to sleep and rest.

8. Do more exercise. If you have a weight or a health condition it’s best asking an expert to design an exercise plan. Going for a walk and breathing fresh air can help greatly.

What is Insomnia? It is the inability to sleep. When sleeplessness is chronic you are in trouble. There are many causes:

Pain
Overweight
Anxiety
Depression
PTSD
Very often you just don’t know the cause

Your Enjoyment of Life Decreases

When this problem continues for a long time, your life becomes miserable. It becomes hard to work in the day since the body is restless due to lack of sleep. Insomnia has dramatic effects on your health and overall well-being.

You Try Various Medications

When you are suffering with insomnia you try to cope. The first thing you may try is prescribed or over the counter sleeping medications to get some sleep.

Drugs may help you sleep for a few hours but this is not natural sleep. You wake up exhausted. Sleeping pills interferes with normal sleeping patterns which may result in other disorders and severe side effects.

You may get addicted to these pills and your condition could worsen.

Many Look To Drug Free Methods

For these reasons you may look for a natural drug free alternative to handle your sleeping problems. Nutrition, herbs, and homeopathy may help but they take commitment and effort.

What if you started by balancing your brain?

Newer research is showing that the problem may be your brain itself. For this reason, many are turning to Brainwave Optimization to handle insomnia.

Brainwave Optimization has been used to combat, stress, anxiety, depression and drug addiction but some of its best results and most documentable results have been with insomnia.

Over 60,000 people all over the world have used Brainwave Optimization. The method is quite natural. The only thing being applied to you is musical tones, just musical notes, no electricity, no drugs, no needles, just sounds; sounds that your own brain is making.

The results from the study at the Wake Forest Medical School have been amazing.

There were 2 groups of 10 participants in the study.
All 20 started with “moderate insomnia.”
One group got the fake treatment and the other group got the real treatment.
Results of the people who got the real treatment
Of the 10 people who got the real treatment, 9 of them were successful.
It is important to note that people reported success for a long time after the treatment was over this is because the brain actually becomes balanced and begins to function properly.
Results of the people who got the fake treatment
Of the people who got the fake treatment all of them (9 /10) remained with the same insomnia that they started with.
This shows a real difference between getting the treatment and not getting it
Once the study was over the people in the “fake treatment” group got the real treatment and they too improved dramatically.

People who report better sleep often report less anxiety, stress, depression, pain and a better ability to focus.

In my next article I will explain how Brainwave Optimization works for people who can’t sleep.

What is EFT?

Gary Craig (EFT founder) explains what EFT is better than I ever could. “EFT is a new discovery that has provided thousands with relief from pain, diseases and emotional issues. Simply stated, it is a unique version of acupuncture except you don’t use needles. Instead you stimulate well established energy meridian points on your body by tapping on them with your fingertips. The process is easy to memorize and is portable so you can do it anywhere. It launches off the EFT Discovery Statement which says…”The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system.” And because our physical pains and diseases are so obviously connected with our emotions the following statement has also proven to be true… “Our unresolved negative emotions are major contributors to most physical pains and diseases.”

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a combination of psychotherapy and acupressure. It relies on the same meridians as uses in traditional acupressure and by combining a routing tapping with a positive affirmation voicing the emotion underlying the problem EFT is able to help with many different kinds of problems, both physical and emotional.

How does it work?

There are two different explanations as to how EFT works depending on whether you take the eastern or western medicines viewpoint.

Western medicine thinks that tapping these points produces a mini-REM state in our brain. This reorganizes how we store and process information. In support of this point of view EEG machines have shown that our brainwave patterns do respond to the tapping.

Eastern medicine believes that EFT works because a situation we faced in the past caused a disruption in our energy system. This disruption caused an unwanted effect on either our physical or mental well-being. By tapping on some of the main meridian points while thinking about the issue we clear the disruption therefore helping our problem.

How can it help me?

So, by now you’re probably thinking this all sounds great but how can it help you?

Scientifically, EFT has been proven to be effective with chronic pain, emotional problems, addictions, phobias, post traumatic stress disorder and physical issues.

EFT often works where nothing else has and can often produce results in minutes. Along with those cases where it has been proven to work EFT has also been shown to work in more serious cases such as cystic fibrosis and multiple sclerosis.

Does it last?

Once a problem has been cured with EFT then it is very unlikely to re-occur unless you encounter another situation to cause another disruption. This does not mean that you will be cured immediately, although results can usually be seen within minutes several sessions are usually needed to completely cure the problem.

What EFT isn’t?

Despite the very promising results seen by EFT practitioners EFT is not able to cure everything. It is merely a tool to help you regain balance in your life. It is this balance that can help to cure any physical or emotional problems you are facing.

EFT is not a replacement for adequate health care either through a qualified physician or psychiatrist. It is designed to be used alongside conventional medicine, not in place of it

What is creative visualization using brainwave entrainment?

Creative visualization is a mental technique used in reality creation. Brainwave entrainment is a technology that safely alters the brain’s dominant brainwave frequency to a desired state to produce a certain effect. Entrainment can produce the frequency required to make creative visualization work in the creation of wants and desires.

If creative visualization is used in the right way, you can improve your life and attract success and prosperity. It is a power that can alter your circumstances, cause events to happen, attract abundance, people and love. What you visualize can affect your attitude, mood, and state of mind.

The power of the mind is behind every success or every failure. Your thoughts create your reality.

Creative visualization is more than daydreaming. It is a conscious desire that is visualized in your mind’s eye, at a certain brainwave frequency. Creating your ideal desire begins with using brainwave entrainment to open up the channel of communication to your subconscious mind. If you can master this, you can have direct control over your thoughts at the subconscious level.

In order for your visualizations to be taken seriously, you need to alter your dominant brainwave frequency of beta to theta to access your subconscious mind. This is the place where, if the subconscious believes you really want your desire, will pass on your message to the creative unconscious where things will start moving to enable a manifestation.

The process of visualizing an image in the mind, and through natural, mental laws, will bring it into manifestation on the material plane. This is called the act of creation.

Creative Visualization with Brainwave Entrainment

Use a brainwave entrainment session to access the subconscious mind.
By visualizing a mental image of what you desire, you can attract it into your life.
Energize your thoughts into action. Use feelings and emotions.
Emotional energy charges your thoughts.
Feel feelings of success and happiness associated them with your goal.
If you have to, recall something from the past that made you feel that way, and use this to charge your thoughts for this goal.
Use all of your senses. Taste, touch, hear, feel, and smell how it would feel if your desire manifested.
Stay in the present moment. Imagine your goal in the present moment (this is a key).

If you continually think a thought when you are addressing your subconscious, that thought will become a permanent part of your brain physiology, a powerful conduit towards the manifestation of your goal.

Just be careful what your thoughts are. Negative thoughts will equally manifest if pursued.

Brainwave entrainment can help you strengthen your creative visualization abilities and attract what you consciously desire.

What Is Brainwave Entrainment?

You may have heard of the term brainwave entrainment. This is the use of pulses of sound to help your brain to achieve a particular shift in consciousness. Fast pulses of sound cause your brain to shift its baseline frequency. The idea of a brainwave entrainment session is to leave your brain in the desired state. Alpha is for relaxation and creativity, Theta is the realm of dreams, and Delta is the pattern for deep sleep. Types of pulses range from the use of binaural beats, monaural beats and isochronic tones.

The leaders of this type of technology have now started to move over to using the most effective of these three types of tones for brainwave entrainment, isochronic tones. Unlike binaural beats you do not need to use headphones and they can be applied to any sound source. The unique style of the music pieces we have created combined with the isochronic pulses means you receive a fast acting effect so you don’t have to listen for hours and hours to a repetive annoying sound to get the same effect. An alpha sessions is provided to help stimulate creativity. Theta and delta sessions are provided to help your mind relax into deep meditative states where you can connect with the divine cosmic light and receive the guidance that will manifest your dreams into a reality. Theta and delta are also useful for promoting deep R.E.M sleep where healing takes place.

How Do Binaural Beats Work?

When you play two separate frequencies in each ear, say 140 Hz and 149 Hz, the difference in frequency is 9 hz. Your brain compensates for this difference and a third tone of 9 Hz is experienced. This will result in your brain being raised or lowered and tuned into the desired frequency. This is how binaural beats are produced. Headphones are essential for this to work. This is the least effective of all brainwave technologies.

How Do Monaural Beats Work?

Instead of passing two tone of differing frequencies, another way to entrain your brain is to pass one signal to your brain that pulses on and off with a specific pattern. This can be designed to leave your brain in the desired frequency state. This is a far superior method than binaural beats. You do not need headphones, but they are recommended

How Do Isochronic Tones Work?

These are by far the most powerful and effective brain trainers. They work by utilising equal intensity tones and increasing the pulse speed to synchronise your brain with the rhythm. The more distinct and clear wave from harmonises your brain much faster. The effects can be felt without headphones, but using them will greatly enhance the effects.

What is Brainwave Entrainment? Well, it’s the process of using tones, beats, or soundwave patterns to induce certain states of mind. Eg, focus, creativity, relax, reduce stress, sleep, wake up, etc. Simple enough. People use it for studying, writing, meditation, sleep induction, weight loss, spiritual enlightenment, sexual enhancement (seriously) and a whole host of other reasons.

Internet Marketers and Therapists, Teachers and Medical Professionals the world over are lauding the benefits of “Think and Grow Rich Automatically” as the catalyst for phenomenal success. An entire online community has been created for participants in Centerpointe Researches “Holosync Solution”. People are seeing results from several products.

But just like Ferrari’s are perfect for some folks, and a truck works better for others, you may find that a “one-size-fits-all” approach to brainwave entrainment doesn’t suit you. You must take your personal preferences into account.

Some folks don’t mind certain sounds like high pitched MIDI tones, and the music used to mask the entrainment technology or subliminal technology in many cases is relatively cheesy. If it hits an irritating pitch, you’re likely to be focusing on the “jarring” that you feel, rather than being able to just relax. If this is the case, You might be better off without the music overdubbing. Times like this are when you need to have a customizable solution that will allow you to listen to the session without the music, or replace the music with something more suited to your tastes.

Fact is, some folks just aren’t able to relax while listening to higher notes. Lower Octave music works better for them. That’s why it’s important to adjust the volume of your recording before you actually begin to try to relax. Too high or too low a volume can be just as irritating as too high or low a pitch. And nothing is more effective at breaking your relaxed state than having to fiddle with the volume knob in the middle of a session.

What if you have a gazillion things to do, and can’t seem to find an hour or so to do your session? If you’re using the sessions for depression reduction or Chronic fatigue/Fibromyalgia, skipping a session is not an option, unless you just want to get back on the meds. You need to be able to use your session while performing your daily tasks. Working Single Moms come to mind in this scenario. At some point, you have to sleep! And who wants to sleep with earbuds or headphones on? Talk about pain! In a situation like this, a recording that didn’t require headphones would be perfect, wouldn’t it?

How do you know if you need headphones or not? Well, The word “Binaural” simply means that both ears are being transmitted to. (Binaural headphones, means sound comes out both sides) Binaural Beat technology requires that each ear be able to receive a different sound channel. (headphones required) What they do is play a different sound in each ear, and your brain automatically creates the “entrainment frequency” that equals the difference between the two sounds.

“Monaural” means that instead of using technology that requires a separate sound channel for each ear, a pulsing beat pattern is being used, and you can listen with one speaker, or surround sound and get the same result. Some people prefer to listen to these type recordings as they go about their daily business. But some folks prefer a more intimate, private experience, which is why headphones are a good thing. You can do “With” or “Without” using Monaural technology, it just may take a little longer for you to get the desired effect without them.

For speed demons who prefer an intense session that is powerpacked and gets right to the nitty gritty, “Isochronics” is a great pattern. It’s audible, stiff sounding, and, if played at too high a volume, very irritating. But, once you’re hooked, you’re hooked. A highly trained, qualified professional can use isochronics to create some powerful and relaxing meditations, But in the hands of an inexperienced novice, they are more likely to drive you to drink.

The problem comes in when you spend so much time trying to find a product that will work for you, that you don’t have time to meditate effectively, or settle down and relax, which is necessary for the proper entrainment.

When I first learned that brainwaves were responsible for my depression, I spent hundreds on various products, some of which I used every day, and some that I just trashed, because they didn’t work for me. Testimonials indicate that they work for some people, but not for me.

With so many people producing “Hypnosis” or “Binaural” or “Entrainment and Meditation” products, how can you know that the ones you’re using are going to be effective, or that the people making them even know what they are doing?

That’s why I started BeyondBrainwaves.com I review the Brainwave Entrainment, Hypnosis, Subliminal, and even Even Energy Therapies so you can stop “trying this” and “trying that” and get right down to the doing.
Brainwave entrainment is a method to stimulate the brain into entering a specific state by using a pulsing sound, light, or electromagnetic field. The pulses elicit the brain’s ‘frequency following’ response, encouraging the brainwaves to align to the frequency of a given beat.

This ‘frequency following’ response of brainwave entrainment can be seen in action with those prone to epilepsy. If a strobe flashes at their seizure frequency, the brain will ‘entrain’ to the flashing light, resulting in a seizure.

On the positive side, this same mechanism is commonly used to induce many brainwave states; such as a trance, enhanced focus, relaxation, meditation or sleep induction. The brainwave entrainment effectively pushes the entire brain into a certain state.

Brainwave entrainment works for almost everyone. It is a great way to lead your mind into states that you might usually have difficulty reaching, allowing you to experience what those states feel like.

THE HYPE
There is a lot of marketing hype around brainwave entrainment. It is sold with promises of increasing IQ, promoting weight loss, ‘mind-tripping’, enhancing creativity, concentration, inducing spiritual states and more.

While these claims are not entirely true, they are not altogether false either. In practice, the claims are based on an overly-simplistic view of how the brain and the brainwaves function.
THE RUB
People are very seldom deficient in a certain brainwave type in all areas of their brain. Usually the distribution is much spottier, with an excess in one area and a deficiency in another.

We are all different, especially when it comes to the distribution of our brainwaves. Boosting a certain brainwave state may be beneficial for one person, and emotionally uncomfortable for another. Without knowing each person’s starting position, entrainment can be rather ‘hit and miss’.

If brainwave entrainment leaves you with unwanted side-effects (see below) or discomfort, you’re probably encouraging a range of brainwaves that are already excessive in some area of your brain. The way around this is to get a brain map to see what your brain’s strengths and weaknesses are, and see what (if any) brainwaves could use some encouragement.

What is brainwave entrainment? Not many people have come across this expression or are aware of what it is. Entrainment is what happens when two things of differing rhythms come together and then end up becoming synchronized with each others rhythms. An example of this is when a concert is happening and people beginning clapping in unison. It can be said that they have become collectively entrained to a specific frequency.

Brainwave entrainment is the rhythmic fluctuations that take place inside of our human brain. The fluctuation increases or lessens based mostly on what we observe or hear. The more rapid and speedier the variations around us, the steeper the variances are within our head. So now just what is entrainment? It is nothing at all but the synchronization of these rhythmic patterns…

Brainwave entrainment is nothing but the rhythmic variations that take place inside of our brain in synchronization with what we hear or discover. For example, when we take note of a drum-beat, we instantly start tapping our feet to the drum-beats. That feet-tapping is what transpires in our brain too in the form of brainwave fluctuation. The only distinction is that we are conscious of our feet tapping but not mindful of what is actually happening on the inside our head. Any audio or video, that is rhythmic and sequential in design, can show the way to brainwave entrainment.

We can at this moment take a look at a few of the resources used for brainwave entrainment.

1. Pictures: Generally there are several pictures that you might need to keenly observe for some quantity of time to cause brainwave entrainment. Those images might possibly be things such as a circular image with a dot in the middle, a star, an upside down triangle, etc. It is especially crucial that while people are watching some of these patterns or images, your attention is not disturbed. It is generally more effective trying this method in a location that is silent and free of most other disturbances.

2. Sounds: Right now there are brainwave entrainment soundtracks obtainable in the market place. When listening to an entrainment audio, it takes on average around 6 minutes for the brain to become entrained to a new frequency. The most popular frequency found in these audios, entrains the brain to the brain wave theta. Theta is most popular because it causes a relaxation mind and also allows the subconscious mind to be influenced easier than the other frequencies such as beta or gamma. This audios are great because they can be merged with regular music to get the same effect and they can also be merged with a hypnosis track which makes them highly effective as a reprogramming mind method.

Exercises such as watching the moon at nighttime continuously, staring at rain water flowing down ones own roof-tops at the time of monsoon, observing the pendulum of a wall clock move left and right, taking pleasure in the elegance of a flower swaying in the backyard wind, watching a table-tennis event and keenly seeing the motion of the ball in play closely are all strategies of brainwave entrainment. The calmness, enjoyment, immediate elimination from stress which we acquire after performing all these things is the outcome of brainwave entrainment. The lone distinction almost certainly is that we are simply not mindful of what is transpiring within our self, and this can be named as forms of brainwave entrainment.

What is Brainwave Entrainment? Brainwave Entrainment simply put is the use of binaural beat sound recordings to change or alter your brainwave frequencies to achieve various states of consciousness. Various states of consciousness include the Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta brainwave patterns. Beta comprise the brainwave patterns of normal awake consciousness where we are dealing with the outside world. It is our state of concentration, cognition, arousal and alertness but also of stress, anxiety, uneasiness, fear and disharmony. Alpha comprise the brainwave patterns of light relaxation and meditation, super learning, relaxed focus, reflection, positive thinking, pre-sleep or post-waking drowsiness and beginning of direct access to our unconscious mind.

Theta comprise the brainwave patterns of deep relaxation and meditation, intense focus, increased memory or retention, heightened creativity and visualization or imagery and of course our dreaming state and REM sleep. Delta comprise the brainwave patterns of deep dreamless sleep, deep trance like loss of body awareness and the potential for greatest push of programming to our unconscious mind. Depending on the brainwave state or states we are attempting to achieve and so utilize, brainwave entrainment using single or combinations of binaural beat frequencies are able to stimulate the various brainwave patterns.

The use of Brainwave Entrainment allows or promotes a multitude of obvious applications or benefits such as: bring about relaxation or deep meditation; eliminate stress, anxiety, depression, fear or anger; promote clear thinking, focus or super learning; increase awareness, insight and inner peace; providing rest and renewed energy. Other perhaps not so obvious though powerful uses are: re-programming our subconscious mind; healing unresolved emotional issues or dysfunctional feelings; manifesting spontaneous and creative solutions to difficult problems or desires; stimulating visions and psychic abilities; stimulating the release of various beneficial hormones and brain chemicals; synchronizing or balancing the two halves of the brain promoting whole brain thinking or super whole brain functioning.

Brainwave Entrainment is a very promising technology having real life changing power. You may listen to two free 30 minute sample binaural beat recordings at the website listed below on their Products Page. You must use headphones to achieve the proper effect in steering the correct and very different frequencies to each ear. For more information and to learn about some applications of brainwave entrainment, you may obtain a free report at the website link below.

What is biofeedback?

In biofeedback you expand self-awareness and practice powerful self-healing under guidance. This is often done with measuring devices to train for relaxation. However, the true goal is expanding the dynamic range and flexibility of your physiology. The benefits are enhanced self-regulation and more robust health.

A biofeedback loop starts with monitoring a signal coming from your body. You can monitor muscle tension, hand temperature or brainwave turbulence. Constant updates are fed back to you in a multimedia display. You look and learn. Using this information to get a certain feeling, you then change the signal in a particular direction.

You gain the power to flex and expand your body’s functioning. These physiological stretching lessons then go into automatic pilot and are used as needed.

Biofeedback is a mind-body mirror. Specific self-awareness, nourished by intention, becomes self-control. Next comes enhanced homeostasis without further effort. Once you have cleared the trail, the body follows.

Let’s do some biofeedback right now. Monitor your pulse. Just feel your heart beating. Without changing your breathing, notice how many times your heart beats during each inhalation and each exhalation. Observe your pattern. Is it 2, 3 or 4 beats per half breath? Now, slow your breathing rate by counting one more heartbeat as you exhale.

Many studies have proven that computerized elaboration of this slower breathing technique has significantly benefits such as lowering high blood pressure. The magic number is usually 6 full breathes per minute. Next try it while walking. Notice the number of strides per breath.

Scientifically sound

The field of biofeedback has progressed by proving that conscious influence is possible over many biological systems and that this practice relieves many diverse disorders.

Scientific literature has well established that holding a thermometer (the signal) to raise your hand temperature (vascular relaxation) prevents 50% of migraine headaches. Biofeedback is more effective than any pill at preventing migraines, especially as medications decline in effectiveness over the years.

Brainwave biofeedback

Using biofeedback with brain signals is called neurofeedback. Neurofeedback is more efficient and powerful than peripheral biofeedback. Neurofeedback can abort migraines. The success rates for resolving migraine are now over 90%. When it works, results seem to endure.

Biofeedback has proven effective in relieving about 150 varied conditions. The only explanation for such broad effectiveness is the power of applied consciousness to self-heal.

The single most popular application for neurofeedback is for ADD. The efficacy is quite high with 85% obtaining 100% remission of symptoms. Complete remission means the disorder is no longer detectable by any means, including brain maps.

Neurofeedback results seem to last forever. There is no homework. As your brain finds a better way to operate, it accepts and adopts the improvements without further effort. As the core problem is cleared, related problems tend to dissolve. Medications can be stopped.

What’s it good for?

Here is a short list of the applications for biofeedback in various categories. The quality of evidence varies from rock solid to consistent clinical reports. The positive effect size is usually strong.

Optimal functioning: students, meditators, performing artists, athletes, soldiers, executives.

Everybody: sleep, mental focus, memory, emotional health.

Brain: seizures, stroke, traumatic brain injury, coma, migraine, ARCD.

Lifestyle: drug & alcohol abuse, criminality, eating disorders.

Arousal: stress, anxiety, headache, OCD, anger, PTSD, psychological trauma.

Chronic: asthma, IBS, TMJ, chronic fatigue, immune suppression, fibromyalgia.

Not just kids: ADD, autism, Asperger’s, stuttering, Tourette’s, tics, learning disorders.

Women: PMS, menopause, hot flashes, pregnancy.

Major: cancer, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, chronic pain, depression.

See http://www.isnr.org or http://www.aapb.org for the complete list and scientific references.

Effective

How could one thing be that good for so many different problems? Because the central nervous system is central. Nourishing your mind-body connection with specific awareness and directed intention conditions self-regulatory systems. Your car drives better on all roads after an engine tune up.

I believe that everyone on the planet would benefit from 10 sessions of neurofeedback to optimize mental clarity and upgrade emotional health. Some problems resolve more quickly including garden variety anxiety, migraine, anger, PTSD, PMS and sleep problems. ADD is in the middle but you’ll need more sessions for fibromyalgia or autism. Home neurofeedback units are now available for training under the guidance of a professional.

Safe, fun

Biofeedback is remarkably safe. A biofeedback mirror is more benign than a regular mirror. Give an anorexic girl a mirror and she may see enough fat to redouble her diet. Give her 15 sessions of neurofeedback and she will probably begin to ask ‘who am I in this world.’

There are cheap and free forms of do-it-yourself biofeedback which are highly effective. And fun. If you want the strongest benefits from biofeedback it is important to employ the best technology. You will derive more rapid, complete and enduring benefits by using the latest neurofeedback software and equipment.

Biofeedback sessions are most often described as pleasant, interesting and relaxing.
