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.

Sometimes love just seems too hard to find. You try to look everywhere but it just seems that you don’t have the right moves or you aren’t looking in the right places. There are some days it seems that however much you want love, it just wants no part of you. But really, is such a situation as hopeless as it seems? Or do you need to just put it together properly to find the ultimate person of your dreams. Here are a few ways for you to help find that person who will send you to Cloud 9:
– Hang out in a bar: This is the ultimate destination for people who love to have fun. And if you’re looking for like-minded people, this is the perfect place to do so! Buying someone a drink never hurt anyone. It’s a really unfortunate thing that romances never take off because one or both parties was too shy to approach the other. So don’t waste that chance! And hey, if you get denied, at least you had a good drinking session!
– Surf the Internet: Everybody does it! And it’s really hard to find yourself without a really good match on the Internet because it’s such a large place to search. Networking sites and chat rooms are usually frequented by all kinds of lonely people looking for love. And websites where people can have common interests are also great places. Be careful when trying to find love online though. It’s never been the safest place to do so and your dream date can easily turn ugly if you aren’t careful.
– Get back to school: We’ve all seen it in the movies. That immortal line: ‘is this seat taken?’. And we’ve seen that the guy or girl that sits behind you in class could be the future love of your life. More than being a source of inspiration, you can build lasting relationships with the people you meet at school. And you can be almost certain that people you meet in class may have the same brainwaves and intellectual level as you, which makes for great conversation!
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.
