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.

Reiki healing with the use of Vogel crystals provide a lot of profound spiritual healing benefits as well as a deeper awakening of our personal connection with the universe. Crystals, gems and healing stones have been used for a very long time to treat illnesses and maladies, and almost all cultures and religious traditions known to man make use of these crystals and stones.
A very inquisitive teenager, Marcel Vogel began his career as a researcher with the study of luminescence. That research landed him on IBM as a full time research scientist, a career which lasted 27 successful years. Marcel Vogel is known for his several patented inventions, one of the most popular of which was the magnetic coating for the 24 inch computer hard disc drive systems. Vogel also designed the Vogel crystal wand that is known to focus the universal life force of an individual whenever concentrated to a significantly high frequency level (a piece of wonder now widely used in most Reiki healing sessions).
The cut of the Vogel crystals are patterned exactly after the angles of the great pyramid of Giza, while the Vogel quartz crystal wand was inspired by a vision of the sacred geometry – The Tree of Life symbol – which Marcel Vogel himself experienced in a dream. Now, these Vogel crystals are being used in different fields of therapy, such as Sound Healing, Crystal Energy Healing, and Reiki Healing.
During a Reiki healing sessions using Vogel crystals, the client is asked to focus on one particular intention. A master wand is then used to create an energetic matrix – this matrix is aimed to create a resonance between the attention of the client, the quartz wands, and the biocrystalline structure of the client’s body and the invisible energy field of the client. During the healing session, there will be a slight push and manipulation of the color frequency (it is made sure that the color frequency is in sync with a gentle vibration of about 7.8HZ, which is the natural color frequency of the earth). It is very important that the color frequency remain within that natural range of frequency to avoid any disruption with the natural flow of the body and to ensure optimal effects. Our brainwaves (humans) resonate within the same frequency of 7.8HZ.
Scientific studies show that this range of natural resonance is very essential for improve one’s health and well being, therefore going beyond it will likely to be unproductive. And given with today’s modern environment filled with electromagnetic interference from satellites, computers, and cell phones and so on, it is very difficult for the human body to cope and to maintain the natural resonance of 7.8HZ.
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.
