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.

Is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in men any different when compared to women who have the disorder? Surely ADHD is the same thing, regardless of race or gender? From a medical point of view, this may well be the case, but in reality, men often experience different symptoms.

The basic hallmarks of the disorder might be the same, but the truth is, men and women have fundamental differences which in essence cause them to behave differently. Interestingly enough, ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) affects considerably more boys than it does girls.

Not only are males more susceptible to the condition, but the resultant behavioral traits are also frequently more problematic. For example, most females who are diagnosed with one of these disorders will suffer mostly from things like inattentiveness and forgetfulness. Males on the other hand often experience mood swings, and these mood changes frequently lead to aggressive behavior.

Another common difference between Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in men and ADHD in women is that women tend to be considerably more prone to depression. Having said that, when ADHD prescription drugs are being taken, both sexes can become vulnerable to depressive disorders.

The most typical ADHD drugs are known as stimulant drugs. They are basically amphetamine-like drugs which have a direct impact on brainwave activity. When people who don’t have these disorders take the drugs, they experience a noticeable increase in energy levels. They can also go without sleep for extended periods of time. This is why the illegal use of these drugs has become so prevalent amongst students who are studying for important exams.

People who have ADD or ADHD are on the other hand affected differently by these stimulant drugs. They don’t experience an energy boost, and they rarely get kept awake by the drugs. Instead, the drugs tend to calm them down, which in turn helps as far as attentiveness and hyperactivity is concerned.

Unfortunately, the most commonly prescribed stimulant drugs can also trigger depression. Another potential side effect is an increased risk of suicidal thoughts. This, along with depression, is a deadly combination which has already led to numerous suicides. Sadly, most of these suicides have involved young children and teenagers.

Men with one of these disorders, perhaps even more so than women, need to be extremely mindful of suicidal thoughts. This is especially true if ADHD prescription drugs are being used. Remember, ADHD prescription drugs come with an FDA Black Box Warning for a reason.
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.

Is a Clicking Sound Positive Reinforcement at The Nervous System?

Does sound affect motor response (brain to muscles) by its frequency and vibrations?

Right, and the primary effects are both physiological and neurological. It is in your mind (psychological) and changes your behavior (body). Sound is to the nervous system what Food is to the physical Body. It feeds us electrical impulses that change our neocortex (brainwaves).

Pattern Recognition

Our brain – the right hemisphere in particular – searches for pattern identification to create habits. Once a skill (typing, driving, speed reading) is learned, it forms its own neural network and is permanently on auto pilot.

So What

Lifelong learners, teachers, and executives who influence, persuade and motivate in their career must discover the power of Nonverbal reinforcement. Why?

When we communicate with others to instruct, it is human to overcorrect and become a Nag. Learners are very conscious of being Dominated and demeaned. Our goal is to present information as assistance and not domination. Be aware of criticizing-complaining-blaming-threatening-punishing and nagging. If we use a Clicker to offer a sound (instead of words) to confirm success -“Yes, you got it Right!” – you avoid emotional entanglement with the listener.

They hear the confirmation of success (click), which travels to their nervous system and activates mind and body as a positive reinforcement to continue to improve.

Wait. What happens when you do not get a Click for your behavior and learning? It is still positive feedback that says, Self-Assess, and try again. They are synchronized, aligned and integrated with the Law of Association: they link the clicking sound with self-improvement.

Notice how you have to stop nagging – I want, I want – ad nauseam.

Some Science For Inquiring Minds

Sounds like Clicking and music are of course nonverbal. It means they travel from the our brain’s auditory cortex in a straight line to the middle of our Limbic (emotional) System. Here they control our feelings and effect our motor activities.

Resonance (echo) and Entrainment (rhythm) create new brain neuropathways to run our new skills and strategies. Get this: these repeated sounds (clicking) trigger the flow of stored long-term memories and imaginary movies.

You activate Peak Performance (in-the-flow, zone) by your attention to the Clicks. Why? Both left and right hemispheres are in-sync for better learning. You use your planning, organizing and reason, together with spatial and pattern recognition to learn.

Remember, when you imagine practicing and hearing the Click, it is identical to real (actual) practice. Mental movies (pictures) turn your new skills into habits faster. Sit for five-minutes and mentally visualize your new strategies and turn them into repetitious practice to turn the skill into a permanent habit.

Peptides And Endorphins

Sounds like clicking and music affect your brain’s hypothalamus to secrete endorphins – the pleasure hormones. The sound excites Peptides to stimulate the production of natural Brain Opiates to produce happy feelings. Your mood, attitudes and emotions improve and you learn and remember better.

Want to know how to produce more pleasure (endorphins) in your life?

Every day take five-minutes to sit quietly and Smile – by imagining your success in learning specific new skills. See your peak-performance in the execution and see the positive results – in your imagination.

Smiling

After the first ten executives told us they find it impossible to sit still and smile for five-minutes, we made changes.

First, a smile means combining your eyes (making crow’s feet on the sides), and second, showing your teeth by raising the sides of your lips. Either one alone is not as powerful and a synchronized effort.

Some people cannot sit still for sixty-seconds without anxiety and stress – a lot of executives are included. They cannot give an authentic smile (Duchenne Smile) activating eyes-and-lips. We recommend a one-minute session and just raising the sides of your lips (called a PanAm Smile).

It is called faking it (the smile) until you make it. If you practice one-minute daily for ten-days doing the teeth smile, thereafter, your face automatically includes your eyes in an authentic smile. Raise your practice time to two-minutes of smiling and keep slowly increasing.

The purpose of smiling practice is to train your endorphins to flow because it Associates the clicking sound with pleasure. Endorphins create an immediate positive mood and feelings toward learning and remembering. Call it Positive Reinforcement.

Google: mu opioid receptors.

Speed Reading And Clicking

We have tested the use of the Clicking sound on college students and executives. The reaction of both to this new learning tool was five-to-one in favor of using a nonverbal reinforcement instead of constant self-nagging to learn the speed reading strategies. The secret is the Law of Association and Positive Self-Programming (reinforcement/conditioning).

Endwords

Do you want to have a unique competitive advantage over your peers in the workplace? It leads to promotions and personal satisfaction with your life. Would the ability to read and remember three (3) books, articles and reports in the time other can hardly finish one, be a valuable skill?

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) isn’t simply an irritation…it’s a life-altering ailment. Your existence revolves around it. If you’re one of the 20% of Americans diagnosed with IBS, you understand how it can inhibit your activities, even to the point of interfering with your family and social life. It’s not just that you have to go to the bathroom, or that you can’t…irritable bowel is a millstone around your neck, keeping you from fully participating in your life. Fortunately, your mind can offer a solution.

IBS is one of the most common disorders diagnosed by doctors in the U.S. today. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), one in five Americans exhibits symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, though numbers could be higher due to undiagnosed cases; some sources estimate that up to 70% of IBS sufferers don’t receive treatment.

The most common symptoms of IBS are recurring cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, and alternating constipation and diarrhea. Though the condition doesn’t permanently harm the colon, it can be embarrassing and disabling when sufferers aren’t able to attend work, school or social events.

Medical experts are uncertain what causes IBS. According to the NIH, though, people who suffer from IBS may have colons–or large intestines–that are particularly sensitive to stress or certain foods. Experts agree that stress plays a major role in irritable bowel syndrome, probably due to the prevalence of super-stress in modern culture. Though there is no known cure for IBS, the good news is that the field of creative visualization and relaxation (CVR) offers exactly what the doctor ordered for suffering patients.

Research shows that the best way to handle IBS is to eat a healthy diet, avoid foods that make you feel worse and manage your stress. CVR series that focus on IBS can help you find a perfect balance among all three. CVR is effective because it teaches people to reduce stress and eliminate the emotional triggers that cause bouts of IBS. At the same time, creative visualization exercises also help people develop healthy eating habits and avoid foods that might spark another round of suffering.

Like most treatments, CVR works even better with a little help. One way to enhance the effects of creative visualization and relaxation is through the use of brain entrainment. Brain entrainment, or light and sound, machines feature glasses and earphones that deliver finely-tuned light and sound frequencies to synchronize the left and right sides of the brain and produce full-spectrum brainwave activity for a deeply relaxing experience.

The light and sound machines work by transporting people’s minds into the deepest meditative states, magnifying the effect of the binaural beats and allowing users to achieve better results in far less time. That may sound like science fiction, but the facts show quick relief from a painful condition. This power-packed combination of brain entrainment and CVR helps IBS sufferers achieve unprecedented levels of relaxation and create homeostasis for a symptom-free future.

It gets better. A 20-minute light and sound session is equal to four hours of sleep; that means a more restful experience for people whose symptoms have kept them awake at night. Modern brain entrainment machines are also simple to use, since they plug into any MP3 player. Most importantly, when used in combination with CVR audio sessions, they get irritable bowel sufferers back in balance and eliminate the symptoms of IBS.

Though CVR is mind technology, it really is a multi-pronged approach to dealing with irritable bowel syndrome. Sessions that focus on being physically and mentally balanced, using your mind to regulate your body, and tips on controlling IBS for a healthy life are all geared to covering every facet of this mind/body disease.

Whatever factors are involved in an individual’s IBS, CVR sessions guide users to make positive changes that help them regain control no matter where they are. Stress, fiber levels, diet…whatever the cause, CVR users visualize and create new realities as they learn new ways to cope. That doesn’t just affect the colon; that makes for an all-around healthier life.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is the most common gastrointestinal disorder and the worldwide prevalence is roughly between 9 and 20%. In the USA it is between 10 and 15%. It is the most common condition seen by a Gastroenterologist. In the USA, the cost when the indirect cost such as loss of productivity and absenteeism are included is over 21 billion dollars annually.

In the past consuming more fibre was the best advice family doctors gave to their IBS patients. Today we know that some fibre can make IBS symptoms worse. There is no one drug available that works for IBS patient and most IBS sufferers are disappointed with the treatment and care they get from their family practitioners. The common advice given to them is to live with IBS the best way they can and control stress. Disillusioned sufferers turn to alternative treatments and over the counter medications hoping for improvement and in the process spend a lot of hard earned money for little or no gain.

Is there a cure for IBS? The straightforward answer is no. There are, however, several things you can do to live your life with IBS under your control. We now know a lot more about IBS, foods triggers, visceral hypersensitivity, gut motility, serotonin and probiotics to find ways and means to gain significant improvement of all the symptoms of IBS. There is no cure but with the current knowledge and research, there is no reason why we cannot live a life free from all the symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Family doctors now refer IBS patients to a dietician who will give good advice on the right diet to follow. The diet they will advise is a low FODMAP diet.

In 2005, Gibson and Shepherd at Monash University published the first FODMAP research results. They studied the effect of FODMAPs on functional gut disorder and found that a low FODMAP diet provided improvement in gut symptoms. Since then further research has given us clear guidance on the foods to avoid for better quality of life with IBS.

76% of patients with IBS improve with a low FODMAP diet (Staudacher et al). It, therefore, should be the first line of treatment for all IBS sufferers along with gluten free foods.

FODMAPs is an acronym for fermentable oligo-di-monosaccharides and polyols and these include fructose, lactose, fructans, galactans and polyols. The general advise is to avoid all foods containing FODMAPs and then gradually introduce FODMAPs in stages to isolate the groups of food that produce symptoms.

In addition, research show that hypnotherapy is best long term treatment for IBS. Hypnotherapy improves all the symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Peter Whorwell, Professor of Medicine and Gastroenterology in Manchester University’s Medical School has used Gut Directed Hypnotherapy for IBS for over 20 years and has a success rate of over 70%. He considers it significantly superior to other treatment because it controls all of the symptoms of IBS.

Hypnotherapy will work only if the hypnotherapist can drop the brainwave down to theta level. This is not always possible. Professor Ernest Lawrence Rossi noted that less than 35% of people are hypnotisable. The rest can achieve a hypnotic state by added stimulation that results in brain entrainment.

In theory, every IBS sufferers can use affirmations after dropping down to theta brainwave level by hypnotherapy or the use of sounds and beats, to gain lasting control of all the symptoms of IBS. After this method of treating IBS, sufferers are able to eat foods that were previously triggers. This is as good as cure for IBS.

Ironic isn’t it that the more gadgets we have to make life simple, life becomes increasingly more complex. There is just too much to do and not enough time to do it. And life doesn’t seem to be slowing down at all. We are all so wrapped up in the ‘important’ things that we often forget to find personal time to relax.

Mind and body relaxation techniques work to reduce stress because stress can be either physical or emotional. Whatever stress type sets you off, it triggers a chemical reaction within the body that causes the release of the hormones adrenaline and cortisol. The heartbeat increases, breathing becomes more rapid and shallow, blood pressure rises encouraging the release of glycogen into the bloodstream. This chain-reaction is called the fight or flight response, but in the modern world we rarely do either. But we do feel the effects.

Physical symptoms of stress – Prolonged exposure to this fight or flight state reduces the body’s immune system, leaving it vulnerable to illness. Other common stress related symptoms include, headaches, digestive problems, weight loss, hair loss and asthma.

Emotional symptoms of stress – The fight or flight state will also affect the brains capacity to function effectively. For example memory loss can be stress related. Other ’emotional’ symptoms can be; reduced concentration, confusion, loss of objectivity and inability to make decisions. Fortunately the solution is simple. We all accept that if we find time for ourselves, time to relax that this would combat any stress in our lives, but what would work best? Try any of these five simple stress-busters. There is a mixture of the ‘physical’ and ’emotional’ solutions so just choose which is best for you.

1. Keep your magnesium levels high. Magnesium is one of nature’s tranquillisers and will increase you ‘stress threshold’ helping you to stay calm and relaxed. There are a number of supplements you could take but consider eating magnesium rich foods such as Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds.

2. Teach your Mind to relax. Listen to a specialist relaxation CD which combines natural sounds, positive suggestion and binaural beats. These naturally focus brainwave frequencies to promote tranquillity, relaxation and inner-peace. Try it out for your self at virtual-therapist.com where you can listen to a selection online.

3. Breath deeply. Most of us breathe from the chest which is shallow and stress inducing. If you breathe from the stomach breathing becomes slower, deeper and more relaxing. Make sure that the out-breath is twice as long as the in-breath to really chill-out. And of course you can practise this stress busting technique anytime, anywhere.

4. Live for today. Have you ever noticed that most stress is caused by anticipating events and worrying about them? Often the event itself is not half as bad as we build it up to be so live for the moment. Appreciate and enjoy what’s going on now and don’t fret over what might be.

5. Pamper yourself. Remember ‘I’m worth it’, well yes you are and you also deserve it, so do something nice, for yourself. Listen to your favourite music, light a candle and have a bath, head for the park and go for a walk.

Whatever you do, do it today and do it just for the joy it brings you. It’s true that if left unchecked stress can have a devastating effect on our lives, but it can also be easily controlled using any one of the chill-out techniques above. So, whatever you do take control today.

IQ and intelligence increasing is one of those topics where most people think they don’t have a choice. People say intelligence is genetic, that you can’t increase it, that it’s all to do with education etc. But i say this to you now:

Society is full of lies.

And these lies which people say have limited the true potential and GENIUS that lies within us.
Just think for a moment, the geek in high school with the straight A’s and the medicine degree, what did he do to deserve his intelligence?

And think similarly too about the poor guy who worked and worked hard, only to end up with CCD grades and a life where “intelligence” and “analysis” isn’t his strength…what did he do to deserve that?

You see, your intelligence will and can increase if you first believe that you can. Then you need to intend that you will act to increase your intelligence. And then it will increase.

I want to teach you a quick method to increase your IQ. Act and use this method because it works!

I want to start explaining this technique by asking you a question that in turn reveals a great secret about increasing your intelligence.

The question is:

What do you think is the typical human concentration span? 10 minutes? 20 minutes? 40 minutes? 2 hours?

The answer will gobsmack you. The answer actually is 7 seconds! 7 seconds i hear you say! Yep, you read that right! Our average concentration span is actually only about 7 seconds. (range is between 4-11 since it depends on your intelligence level)

Scary huh? It might seem hard to believe but prove it to yourself right now so you know I’m telling the truth:

1. Look at a fine and distinct quality of an object (eg the colour, the edge, the shape)
2. Place your concentration on the object
3. Notice how your concentration on that quality wavers to another quality of the object, within seconds.

You see, you might be able to focus your attention on a task for 40 minutes+, but you cannot focus your concentration on a particular quality for more than a few seconds. Your concentration ability is the most fundamental “tool” which you have for all intellectual endeavours
And here lies a secret to increasing your intelligence.

Since your concentration span is so tiny, if you can find a technique to increase your concentration span, by even a second, it will lead to a huge increase in concentration ability overall. And this technique is what im about to reveal to you.

TECHNIQUE: PSEUDO TELEKINESIS (AVERAGE IQ GAIN= 5-15 POINTS)

1. Obtain a coin and place it in front of you

2. Make sure you are in a comfortable sitting place and in a location in which you will not be disturbed

3. Look at the coin from a distance of 30 to 40cm away and concentrate your full attention on the look of the coin. Try and concentrate on its shape more than its particular features. Do not touch the coin

4. Place your thoughts on the side-edge of the coin and try and force all your thoughts to be concentrated on that edge. By thoughts, i am NOT talking about images or words in your mind, just simply the force of your concentration on the coin.

5. You should imagine that the thoughts which you are exerting act as the force to make the coin move. Mentally push with your thoughts towards the edge of the coin. If the coin moves, replace it with a non-metallic object as your emphasis here is not real telekinesis

6. You must maintain as much as possible, your concentration on the shape of the coin by looking directly at it, but also by attempting to force your thoughts onto its edge.

7. If you are performing the technique correctly, you will become unaware of your surroundings. If you become distracted (which you will at first), turn your attention back to the coin and doggedly attempt to maintain it.

8. You can repeat for any object of your choice, but a small metal object is desirable since this attracts the brainwaves towards the focal point you are concentrating on, thus allowing them to become more precise.

Other Effects of This Technique
1. Increased listening ability
2. Increased mathematical ability
3. Ability to sustain more complex arguments
4. Increased ability to extract relevant information from sources
5. Increased ease of memorisation

You should easily get an extra 5-15 IQ points on your existing IQ score using this technique. Practice for 6 days out of 7.

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.

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.

INTRODUCTION

This article will explain to the reader how to naturally improve serotonin levels using brain entrainment. With a binaural beats download, it is possible to entrain the electromagnetic wave-patterns of the brain to those conductive to serotonin release. I will also be discussing other ways of releasing serotonin naturally, and how you can benefit from using these methods in conjunction with brain entrainment.

WHAT IS SEROTONIN?

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter produced bio-chemically from the amino acid, tryptophan. It is stored primarily within the gastro-intestinal tract, thrombocytes (aka, platelets) and the central nervous system. Within GI tract it regulates intestinal movements, while within the platelets its job is to aid in the healing of wounds. Within the CNS (in which approximately 20% of it is stored) it plays an important role in controlling mood, appetite, muscle contraction and sleep cycles.

HOW DOES BRAIN ENTRAINMENT WORK & HOW CAN IT HELP WITH SEROTONIN RELEASE?

One way in which brain entrainment works is through a sophisticated ‘binaural-beat’ technology, where a frequency pertaining to a certain brain state is recreated through an audio-scientific method, and played to the user through a set of headphones. The brain then begins to generate wave-forms which replicate that of the said frequency. Thus, the state you wish to experience can be achieved through the use of the corresponding binaural frequency.

The frequency which promotes serotonin increase is approximately 10Hz – the ‘Alpha’ state. This has a direct effect on the mind, and through a feedback loop creates feelings of well-being and contentment.

OTHER METHODS

Perhaps one of the most well-advised methods of releasing serotonin is regular exercise, around 3-4 times a week. As well as keeping your body physically fit, this has a profoundly calming effect on the mind, and when the mind is calm, worry is eliminated, thus enhancing your mood to one of glowing radiance.

It is also advisable to consume foods rich in protein – such as fish, eggs, nuts, cheese etc. Alternatively, you can purchase protein tablets, which are to be taken daily in accordance with a balanced diet.

Are you sleeping right? Quality sleep is more important than quantity. 7-8 hours is recommended, though if you are forced to get by on less, try to take a short nap around midday. Do not exceed one hour though.

SOME THINGS TO AVOID

Carbohydrates can give a quick lift, but are ineffective in stimulating the on-going process of serotonin release. It is important however to include them sparingly within your diet.
Caffeine, sugar and alcoholic drinks, like carbohydrates, give a short term boost, but actually impede the release of mood-altering hormones in the long term. Sure it’s fine to indulge every once in a while, but a heavy reliance can spell trouble in terms of physical and mental health.

CONCLUSION

The primary concern for anyone experiencing a severe case of serotonin deficiency should be to alter their lifestyle in congruence to the points highlighted above, i.e. an alteration in diet & sleeping patterns, and the taking up of exercise according to a strict schedule. Brain entrainment should not be used solely, but as an enhancement to the treatment.

However, if like most, you do not suffer from a severe case of serotonin deficiency, but experience the odd day of moody blues (like at work for example), then entrainment will assist in lifting your mood.
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.

INTRODUCTION

The aim of this article is to present to the reader a brief description of endorphins, how they’re produced by the human body, and how brain entrainment can be utilised as a natural pain remedy by releasing endorphins through the use of binaural beats. By the end of the article, you will have discovered that a binaural beats download is a far better option for endorphin release than any medicinal product on the market.

WHAT ARE ENDORPHINS?

Endorphins are ‘endogenous opioid peptides’ that function as neurotransmitters.(1) They are the released by the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus during exercise (the ‘runner’s high’), and are responsible for that post-coitus afterglow. They are also released during moments of pain, in order to reduce discomfort. Endorphins resemble opiates in their ability to produce analgesia and create feelings of well-being and euphoria. Without these chemicals, it would have been difficult for man to endure the pains of the prehistoric ‘red in tooth and claw’ aspect of nature!

DISCOVERY

Endorphins were first discovered by accident in the 1970s by scientists researching drug addiction. They wondered why the brain contained receptors for the poppy plant, and eventually found out that the brain produces neurochemicals more potent than morphine.

HOW DO THEY WORK?

Endorphins are known to attach to ‘receptors’ on the outer surfaces of brain cells, acting like chemical keys which fit into locks. If enough endorphin is inserted into the outer ‘keyhole’ of a nerve cell, that cell is unlikely to convey pain messages to the conscious part of the brain. (2)

CAN BINAURAL BEATS HELP WITH ENDORPHIN RELEASE?

As with any activity within the brain, endorphin release relates to specific brainwave patterns. Binaural beats specialise in creating these wave patterns though the subtle but effective use of an audible stimulus.

HOW DO BINAURAL BEATS WORK?

Binaural beats work through a process called brain entrainment. With this technology, one frequency is played into each ear. The brain then combines the two frequencies to form a single tone, before altering its own frequency to match that of the tone. This is called a ‘frequency following response’. Through this procedure, the brain can be trained to induce a variety of different states beneficial to your mental as well as physical health.

AN ALTERNATIVE TO MEDICINE?

As our bodies get older, and we become increasingly susceptible to the effects of stress, chronic pain is commonly experienced, even by healthy individuals, and the commonly accepted antidote of medicine is often more debilitating than the pain itself, particularly if utilised in the long term. In my opinion, it would be considered wiser to increase endorphins normally, rather than spend thousands on harmful chemicals which make you simply forget about the pain.

Introduction

So you’ve had it dealing with confusing trading indicators and trying to make sense of the different news releases and what they all mean. All of a sudden, you’re hit with a brainwave: “If I just take 10 pips out of the market every day, and keep up a 100% win rate, then making money in Forex will be easy!” It all sounds very simple and straightforward in theory, but is such a system actually viable? Unfortunately, it’s not that simple, but by the end of this article, you’ll know how to really make money in Forex.

The Problem With Such A Simple Trading System

It’s a common myth in Forex that you need a high winning percentage to make a lasting Forex trading income. Forex robot marketers are very good at playing on the fantasy of a high winning percentage system, and often advertise 90% or even 95% win rates in their advertising material. The truth is, you don’t need to have a high win rate to make money in Forex in the long run. In fact, the more profitable Forex trading systems tend to have a win rate of just 40-60%.

Another characteristic of profitable Forex trading systems is that they tend to have much bigger wins than losses. That’s how they make up for a lower winning percentage. There’s really no sense in trading for small profits, because you need as much profit as possible to pay for the inevitable losses you’ll encounter. If you limit your profits to 10 pips a day, sooner or later you’ll encounter a 50 pip or even 100 pip losing day, and you’ll wipe out weeks of profits just like that.

How To Really Make Money In Forex

Obviously there’s no such thing as a no loss Forex robot, so forget about 100% wins and 10 pips a day. That’s a formula for failure and disappointment in your trading. If you’re not doing well in your trading, and you lack a proven, profitable Forex trading system to earn a consistent Forex trading income for you, then the best thing to do is to leverage on someone else’s experience in the markets. That means identifying a profitable system through research and due diligence. It takes time to find one, but it’s well worth it.

The key to making money in Forex is to have a proven, profitable Forex trading system, and applying a solid money management strategy to create a lasting Forex trading income. So don’t waste your time chasing impossibly high winning percentages, or small pip profits, because your time is much better spent trading with a proven, profitable system.

INTRODUCTION

Public speaking has recently been recorded as one of the general population’s biggest fears, alongside concerns over sexual performance, and even death. Why do we as human beings harbour this phobia, and how can we calm public speaking nerves? This is what we will soon be discussing, but first; why is it important to cultivate the skill of public speaking?

Success within the ordinary work-a-day world is dependent upon your ability to communicate with confidence and charisma, delivering your ideas across to others in manner which is articulate and full of conviction.

This does not solely apply to speaking in front of large crowds, as in a formal presentation, but also in our social interactions with peers and associates. Repeated exposure is sure to dramatically reduce fear and tension, but for most, the difficulty lies in taking the necessary steps towards that goal.

OUR TRIBAL PAST

It is interesting to note that due to the socialisation process of our tribal past, our fear of public speaking is in fact programmed into our brains. This alludes to the ’emotional territorial-circuit’ (Wilson, 1983), in which the ‘beta-males’ (bottom-dogs) would submit to the ‘alpha-males’ (top-dogs), and in fear of expulsion from the tribe which their very survival depends on, would refrain from speaking out. It was very much a case of ‘conform or be cast out’.

With good oratory skills however (and a bigger set of gonads than the rutting-strutter sitting comfortably at the top of the hierarch), it became possible to gather people, and form your own tribe. Public speaking skills were therefore seen as a way of earning respect.

As you have probably gathered, nothing much has changed since then; these primitive instincts still reside within us.

BRAIN ENTRAINMENT

If you are familiar with brain entrainment, you’ll know that different states of awareness, such as wakefulness, fatigue, etc., possess corresponding brainwave frequencies. These frequencies can be mapped out visually in graph form with an EEG (electroencephalograph).

When we anticipate public speaking of any kind, we commonly experience fear and anxiety. Within this state, the brain operates within the region of approximately 30 – 40Hz, which corresponds to a brain-wave frequency of the ‘high-beta’ range. It is possible though to lower this frequency to one which is conductive to a calmer state of mind.

To do this, we entrain our minds to the flipside of the beta state, which is the theta/delta range. Listening to a binaural beat or isochronic tone prior to public speaking will still your mind, reduce anxiety and put your more at ease.

Do not just listen passively though; instead, use your imagination to visualise yourself delivering the presentation successfully. This feedback loop will reinforce a positive self image, so that you can communicate with a great sense of self-confidence. With tenacity and persistence, your public speaking phobia will be a thing of the past.
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.
