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.

In this modern age, we have numerous tools available to “hack” our lives to improve productivity, maximize time, and find greater happiness. By using the natural processing capabilities of the brain, we make the most of our minds. So, what is binaural meditation?

First, you need to understand a little background. There is an interesting effect called binaural beats. Our brains will perceives a steady, rhythmic pulsing when we hear two audible sounds that have nearly, but not exactly, the same frequency. It has to do with the way the sound waves cancel each other out. Imagine multiple people jumping on a trampoline. Sometimes people will bounce higher because of the way the trampoline is moving. Other times, they will almost stop dead on the trampoline. The high bounces are like the beats and the dead stops are like the quiet parts.

People first came across binaural rhythms in the nineteenth century. Outside of a very small number of enthusiasts, they did not receive much attention until the 1970s. Since then, a lot of attention and study has been devoted to binaural beats.

People discovered that the rhythms could be used just like strobe lights to affect the mind. This “brainwave synchronization” happens when the brain adjusts its own rhythm of electrical pulses to harmonize with the beats.

The brain operates at different speeds, depending on what it is doing. People in sleep and deep meditation have a much slower pattern than someone in the middle of a stressed out work day. Using brainwave synchronization, binaural meditation uses certain patterns and speeds of beats to adjust the operating speed of the brain.

A lot of people trying meditation are distracted by a constant stream of images, ideas, feelings, and internal conversations. This is a very common difficulty for those first learning to meditate. Binaural rhythms significantly reduce this problem as they move the brainwave rates into the meditation range.

Make sure that your source of binaural beats is reputable and delivers a satisfying product. The proper pattern and speed of binaural beats is key to good results and experiences.
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.

In this modern age we think nothing of sending documents across the planet and using machine translators to impartially and often incorrectly translate our most sensitive and vital files and documents. But should we think more carefully about these seemingly anonymous forces who we give an immense amount of power over our business future to?

No, I’m not suggesting you run out and fashion yourself a hat out of tin foil to stop “them” reading your brainwaves, but getting a good translation service is one of the most valuable additions to your business you can make if you work with people from across the planet. Thankfully, the language barrier is no longer as impenetrable as it once was but with that ease of use and universal applicability comes a lack in professionalism and personality, which is often what sets you apart in a corporate business environment.

I decided to find a reputable translation service when I sent a private business document to a client in Germany, using a web based machine translation service. On arrival my German client remarked on how he had struggled to understand the tone in which it was written and had taken it negatively. I did attempt to assure him that it was of course not meant to be read in such a light but the machine translator had struggled to understand what the letter meant by looking at single words rather than whole documents. I lost that customer and subsequently did not get paid any of the money I was owed for the work done.

If I were you I’d take my advice and find yourself a reputable translation firm to keep your business in top form as the market becomes increasingly globalised.

In this day and age, when everything is fast-paced and high-pressure, a little peace and quiet goes a long way towards restoring mental and spiritual balance. Where does this peace and tranquility emerge from? Some basic biological (if not spiritual) truths are that we create our own realities, be they emotional, physical, financial, social or otherwise. All our realities originate in the Mind.

Doctors and scientists probing the regions of the brain found out that for the most part the activity detected was composed of many different frequencies of rhythmic and non-rhythmic waves or pulsations. These pulsations were broken down into individual categories for easier study and for their particular properties. These categories are Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta waves. Alpha waves were first recorded by Dr. Hans Berger, who published his recordings in 1929.

The most widely known and publicized is the Alpha wave which is prominent during relaxation mostly with eyes closed, day dreaming and self-introspection. Beta waves are prominent during the active awareness state that we experience from day to day at work and at play. The Theta wave is associated with light sleep, REM dreams and hallucinations. The Delta wave is prominent only during dreamless sleep and coma where the outward appearance is dead to the world.

The sages of the Upanishads showed a unique preoccupation with the different states of consciousness. They observed dreams and the state of dreamless sleep and asked what is known in each, and what faculty could be said to be the knower. What exactly is the difference between a dream and a waking experience? What happens to the sense of “I” in dreamless sleep? In the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, there is a long exposition on the states of the mind; the sages who explored called them waking, dreaming and dreamless sleep.

They concluded that these were not merely states of mind that a person slips in and out of several times during the day, but each state represented a layer of awareness at different depths of the conscious, sub-conscious and the unconscious mind. The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad observes “In that dream world, there are no chariots, no animals to draw them, no roads to ride on, but one makes chariots and animals and roads oneself from the impressions of past experience.”

When we dream, we enter another world, another reality. As long as you are dreaming, your experience seems real. When you wake up, you realise it was just a dream. Now, that you are awake, you know you are not dreaming and that what you are now experiencing is real. What makes you think it is real?

A leap of insight from the Upanishads “Everyone experiences this, but no one knows the experiencer.” It cannot be the body which is the experiencer, for in a dream, it detaches itself from the body and the senses, and creates its own experiences – experiences which are as real as those of the waking state. One even goes through the entire gamut of emotions in a dream. Dreaming and waking are made up of the same stuff and as far as the central nervous system is concerned, both are real.

Says Havelock Ellis, “Dreams are real as long as they last. Can we say more of life?” Dr. John Bigelow, a famous research authority on sleep says that the main reason we sleep is because “the nobler part of the soul is united by abstraction to our higher nature and becomes a participant in the wisdom and foreknowledge of the Gods.”

The sages of the Upanishads set themselves the task of discovering a level of reality above this world of constantly changing sensory impressions. They found out that in the dreamless state, the Self detaches itself from both the body and the mind. It is this Self that is the experiencer. Contemporary science says that it is in this state that the autonomic nervous system is repaired. This state of dreamless sleep is the deepest, most universal layer of our consciousness or, if you, wish our unconscious. The Upanishads say “Wake up in this state and you will be who you truly are, free from the conditioning of the body and mind, free from the sensory perceptions, free from bondage and misery; in a world which is not bounded by the limitations of time, space and causation.”

How does one achieve this? By meditation. Meditate then and progress on a path which is by no means easy. To quote the Katha Upanishad “Sharp like a razor’s edge, the sages say, is the path to Reality, difficult to traverse.” This ascent is so fraught with challenges that it is certainly not for the meek. But for those who dare to accept this challenge, can there ever be a greater one? This would be the ultimate discovery, to discover who we are, what the universe is, and what is the significance of the brief drams of life and death.

The Katha Upanishad further states “The Ultimate Reality cannot be known through speech or through eyes. Who but the one who says ‘it is’ can know it?” Neither logic nor words nor any of the senses would help in the ultimate journey. Only silence, deep everlasting silence, from the depths of the heart will get us there. Meditation is the gate that opens that door to us. Cermonials create the attitude in the mind, but that attitude in always resident in the soul. People are doing it all the time, but doing it unknowingly. Do it knowingly; that is the power of meditation.

The Maitrayana Upanishad puts it thus “When, having freed his mind from sloth, distraction and vacillation, becomes as it were delivered from his mind, that is the highest point. The mind must be restrained in the heart till it comes to an end; that is knowledge; that is liberty; all the rest are extensions of the ties which bind us to this life.”

To quote Van Ruysbroeck “We contemplate what we are and we are what we contemplate. Contemplation of the Super-essential passes into communion. Words cannot tell it, silence has no power to hold it within its bound, intelligence, reason, the creature itself, all are transcended. This simple possession by God is life eternal enjoyed in fathomless abyss. It is here, beyond reason, that we await the peace of the Divine changelessness.”

Note again that as far as the Central Nervous System is concerned, Dreaming and Waking are made up of the same stuff and both are real. It is only in the dreamless state therefore, that the Self becomes the experiencer and the experiencer is pure awareness. Almost each one of us is lost for most part of our life in an internal space of constant thinking, memory and visualizing / dreaming. When this imagined space and dream space both go away, what is left is the Void. The Void is absent of any image or thought and there can only be Formless Oneness, yet we function as a human being. The experience is one of absolute quiet, absolute emptiness, total peace.

Yet the sages of the past and most other spiritual thinkers were correct that one can never experience any of this except in the human form. The body it is which has the states of consciousness as part of its imagined existence in this world. So this form is necessary to experience the dreamless state and yet be alive.

We already know that the normal waking state is not useful for the spiritual seeker, except for intellectual deliberations. So that leaves us with the sleep state. Every night, we pass through four stages of sleep. Each stage takes approximately 90 minutes to a couple of hours so sleeping for six to eight hours on an average marks one full sleep cycle.

Stage 1 is a light sleep where you can be easily woken up. It marks a loss of self-awareness and most sensory attachment to the physical world. The brainwave frequencies descend from Alpha through Theta. Stage 2 is where your physical body loses nearly all muscle tone but although the brainwaves have slowed further, they show brief spikes of higher brainwave activity. In Stage 3, the sleeper is non-responsive to the environment and most stimuli cause no reaction. It is a dreamless stage of sleep but surprisingly one where sleepwalking (or somnabulism) is most likely to occur. Stage 4 is the REM stage, which marks the onset of dreaming. Contrarily, although the brain waves are more active, the sleeper is harder to awaken. It has been said that REM deprivation impairs our ability to learn complex tasks and form long term memories.

So it is obvious that the aim of meditation as a tool should be to access a state similar to Stage 3 of sleep. The REM state is equivalent to dreaming and is as useless as the waking state for spiritual adventures. The most common brain waves whilst practising meditation are alpha waves relating to Stage 1 of sleep. They calm the autonomic nervous system by allowing the parasympathetic nervous system to dominate the sympathetic nervous system. This lower blood pressure and the heart rate and the amount of stress hormones in the body apart from calming the mind.

For regular meditators who attain alpha and theta brainwaves in meditation, they can utilize it to overcome your limitations and challenges, triumph over your unwanted habits and negative thought patterns, and enrich certain aspects of their life. In practical terms, theta brainwaves in meditation also invoke a deep sense of relaxation and also encourage creativity and make problem solving and memorization easier. Theta waves also present themselves for most people when they do any task “automatically”, i.e. driving, washing clothes, etc. (hypnotic state).

Finally, delta brain waves in meditation are the slowest of all. Everyone experiences delta waves in deep sleep, but delta brain waves in meditation are said to help experienced practitioners access the unconscious mind. This then is the state of dreamless sleep, where one can use techniques to access the unconscious mind. Wake up in Dreamless Sleep!

In this day and age, there are many names for brainwave technology, but the most common one is either brainwave entrainment or brain wave synchronization, which in the area of science and technology, is the practice and the method of forcing the brain to emit a particular frequency which then will stimulate the brain to produce positive effects associated with the particular wave pattern. In the area of neuro science, this is called the frequency following effect, and it is something that happens quite naturally in the brain.

The neurons in the brain are in the constant state of producing electrons and electromagnetic pulses, and this is down to its communication mechanism from one area of the brain to the next. When it does this, machines like the ECG machine, are able to pick up these wavelengths and measure them. We are able to do the same thing with a whole host of stimuli, which can vary from visual or auditory stimulation. This can range from subliminal flashes, to the dream machine, to binaural beats and even isochronic tones, which are all in the category of engineered stimulation which will be perceived deep within the subconscious of the brain, as well as the cortical.

Of course, these are the more common methods of brainwave technology, and there are other, much more complex methods, which include things like the mind machine, electromagnetic radiation as well as force induction of magnetic waves using stimulus head gear. These are available only within the arena of science labs and advanced hospitals. One of the most common forms of this technology, and the one that you will be encountering when you are researching this technology is binaural beats. What they are is actually a reverse engineering of the available technology in the brain as well. For example, the brain is able to gather itself and be in the state where it is greatly focused, has high levels of creativity and is able to think and react much faster.

So, in terms, the wavelength of this in accordance to brainwave technology is somewhere in the high theta ranges, or the high end of the brainwave spectrum. So to produce a 30 plus wavelength range in the brain, binaural beats will then introduce a 540Hz and 510 Hz engineered beat in both sides of the ear and what happens then is that the difference is picked up in the cortical of the brain, and in the frequency following response, the brain will then be set to a 30Hz wavelength electromagnetic pulse. With this, you are able to be much more creative and much for focused. As you can see the application of this technology is quite enormous and there is nothing you cannot do now that you are privy to this new fangled brainwave technology. All you need to do to gain access to this revolution of the mind is to get online, search for it and order. Do your research, gain the best one and the rest is just a matter of the mind.

In this article, you’re going to learn 3 effective ways to cure insomnia naturally. These methods are completely medication-free, safe and natural.

Tip #1: Aromatherapy
Lavender is a very popular scent, and has been used for a long time to help people relax and fall asleep. You can add a few drops of lavender oil to a tub of warm water to help you sleep better. You can also put a lavender sachet underneath your pillow as well.

Tip #2: Exercise
Light exercise can promote deep sleep during the night but just make sure that you do not exercise too much or too late, as this can increase your body’s level of adrenaline which adversely keeps your body and mind alert when you are ready to go to bed.

Tip #3: Listen to relaxing music or brainwave entrainment CDs
Relaxing music or brainwave entrainment CDs calm the nervous system and help you to relax. Listening to your favourite soft music can have a very calming effect, and Brainwave Entrainment CDs usually include calming water sounds, such as a running stream, or other nature noises specifically designed to take your mind off what is, or what has happened during the day.

Tip #4: Change in Diet
A change in diet can also play a role in lessening insomnia symptoms. Some diet changes include cutting caffeine from your diet. Caffeine has a very pronounced effect on your sleeping patterns, and does not only come from coffee but from other sources like chocolate, soda, cold medicine and other prescription medication. Avoiding sweets and eating foods that can help you sleep (such as carbohydrate snacks) can also be helpful.

I hope you have found this article to be good introduction for you to cure insomnia naturally. For more information, visit my website below.

In this article, we’ll explore a centuries-old practice that’s recently been updated through extensive scientific research by The Institute of HeartMath®. This practice is “Inner Smiling.” It is a powerful way to reduce stress, improve your health and immune response, stay calm in the midst of chaos, and connect with inner clarity and intuitive guidance.

While The Institute of HeartMath® does not call their technique Inner Smiling (they call it HeartMath® and speak of generating “core heart feelings”), as a teacher of a meditation style in which Inner Smiling is prominent, I recognize essential similarities in these approaches. The basis of Inner Smiling is actively self-generating acceptance, gratitude, care, and trust. In Qigong (“chee-gung”) or energy meditation we do this throughout our body as a whole, while HeartMath® has discovered the power of focusing on your heart while you generate these feelings.

Here are some of the benefits of Inner Smiling. It can lower your blood pressure, calm your nervous system, improve hormone balance, improve your brain function, and give a positive feeling of well-being. These effects begin by bringing heart rhythms into balance. This facilitates coherent brainwaves and integrated whole brain function. Generating an inner smile also brings your parasympathetic nervous system online, which is your relaxation and recovery mode.

When your “relaxation response” is active, your levels of muscle tension decrease, your digestive system receives more blood for doing its job well, and your immune system gets the energy it needs to function at a peak level. Your higher level brain functions also come online. This is in contrast to when you feel fear and stress, which actually shuts down your higher brain functions. As your body relaxes, you decrease production of the stress hormone, cortisol, and increase production of DHEA, which regulates your body’s ability to heal and repair itself.

Pretty exciting stuff!

So, how do you practice Inner Smiling?

Here are four simple steps:

1. Close your eyes and take several slow deep breaths.

2. Imagine that you are breathing in and out through your heart to focus your attention there.

3. Smile into your heart with acceptance, appreciation, gratitude, and care.

4. Imagine and feel your Inner Smile expanding from your heart to infuse every cell in your body.

To help you generate Inner Smiling in your heart and your body as a whole, you can bring to mind someone whom you care for unconditionally, such as a parent, spouse, child, or pet. Or recall something that you love to do or someone who makes you smile. Bring your appreciation for those people, pets, or events, into your heart and then send it outward into your whole body.

If you find this challenging at first, you might spend a little extra time focusing on breathing deeply in and out through your heart. Allow any feelings of tension or irritation to dissolve in your breath. Then, imagine someone or something you effortlessly appreciate or simply accept yourself and whatever is happening unconditionally. Be grateful for “what is.”

Just putting a subtle smile on your lips may be enough to bring an Inner Smile into your body. Inner Smiling is a doorway to feeling your inner essence and transforming your life from the inside out.

Enjoy your practice!

In this article, I will introduce to you and explain the concept of past life regression. Then I will show you how you can actually experience this powerful healing and empowerment technique quite easily using binaural beats and other brain entrainment technologies.

What is Past Life Regression?

Past life regression, which dates as far back as the Upanishads of ancient India, is the act of transcending everyday memory and drawing upon memories from past lifetimes.

This approach is rooted in the concepts of karma and reincarnation. That is, the idea that we do in fact die and are reborn countless times in order to experience multiple lifetimes, and that our actions in previous lifetimes directly influence the life that we are living today.

If you can accept this concept or even consider the possibility that it might be true, then it is easy to understand the benefit of tapping into hidden memories from past lives in order to provide us with insight into the life we are experiencing right now.

Past life regression can help us understand why we are here and why we are experiencing our particular set of life circumstances. It can also help us identify and clear up unresolved issues from past lives that keep us from experiencing happiness, prosperity and well-being, and it can even help us to discover what our true life purpose is in this lifetime.

Traditionally, past life regression has been achieved through hypnosis, whereby a therapist, during a series of sessions, asks the patient a series of questions designed to elicit statements and memories about one’s past lives while under hypnosis. And of course there are people who have tried to tap into memories from previous lifetimes using hallucinogetic drugs as well.

How to Use Brain Entrainment to Experience Past Life Regression

A less expensive and certainly less dangerous approach to experiencing past life regression than the options presented above is to use a brain entrainment technology like binaural beats.

Brain entrainment is a technology that uses sounds that can actually “tune” the brain to various the brainwave frequencies that it passes through throughout our normal waking and sleeping states.

Each of several basic brainwave frequencies is associated with different mental, emotional and spiritual states. For example, alpha waves are associated with deep relaxation and pre-sleep drowsiness, while Theta waves are associated with dreams and deep meditation.

Brain entrainment can actually tune our brains to a precise frequency, which enables us to intentionally achieve and experience particular desired emotional, mental, and spiritual states. So how does this tie into past life regression?

When the brain is tuned to a state where Alpha and Theta waves meet, our creative capacity becomes opened to our deep subconscious, wherein our dreams lay. It is in this state that we can consciously access the thoughts and memories from previous lifetimes that are stored in our subconscious, which can provide us with insight into our recurring life issues and even reveal our true life purpose.

Binaural beats and other similar brain entrainment technologies are delivered simply and safely in the form of an audio track of relaxing music or sounds of nature. Simply find a comfortable place to sit or lie down, play the music through a set of headphones, and let the recording take you into a state that allows you to experience past life regression. It is not unusual for even first-time users to experience success within minutes of first listening to an audio track.
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.

In this article, I will discuss the 5 basic types of brainwave activity. Then I will show you how you can control your own brainwave frequencies using a powerful took called binaural beats to achieve the precise states of mind you desire.

According to scientists, all people have 5 basic brainwave frequencies: Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta, and Gamma. Each brainwave is associated with different states of being. For instance,Gamma waves are associated with higher mental activity and problem solving, while Theta waves are associated with deep meditation and lucid dreaming.

Understanding the various brainwaves can help you better understand your own unique brainwave activity and how to control it in order to experience the precise states of mind you desire.

For example, let’s say you have been experiencing lots of stress in your life and are looking for a way to escape it. In order to combat this stress, you may want to learn how to tap into your Alpha brainwave activity.

Alpha brainwaves normally occur between sleep and waking consciousness, resulting in a state during which the brain is at its most relaxed and efficient. If you can learn to tune into your alpha brainwaves at any time, this would enable you to achieve a relaxed, stress-free state of mind and being any time you wanted to.

Well this all sounds nice and well in theory, but is there actually a way to intentionally control one’s brainwave activity in order to achieve desired states of being? You may be surprised to learn that there is in fact a simple tool for doing so: binaural beats.

The binaural beat effect is the result of two slightly different audio waves being heard separately by the left and right ear (such as in a pair of headphones) in a manner that encourages the neurophysiology to generate a specific unified brainwave pattern. There are binaural beats designed to achieve every one of the 5 brainwave patterns listed above.

Binaural beats are usually packaged in the form of a relaxing audio music track. All you need in order to utilize them are a comfortable chair, a set of headphones and either an mp3 or CD player. You must use headphones so that the sounds of the different frequencies are delivered properly to each ear. If you play the binaural beat music using regular stereo speakers, even though the music may sound nice and relaxing, you won’t get the proper effect.

Using binaural recordings is a great way to quickly and easily achieve a meditative state and relax the mind. Not only can they help with sleeping problems, but also with the everyday stresses of life. Binaural beats are easy to listen to. They are usually blended with relaxing, tranquil music or sounds from nature such as waterfalls or an ocean breeze.

In this article, I will be discussing brain entrainment, stress and stress management, and how you can train your mind to remain calm and focused with the use of our binaural beats download. Google trends show that these tools are becoming increasingly popular in the self help market, and it is my aim to convince you of their power and effectiveness in inducing mind relaxation.

Modern life is replete with frustrations and hassles, so much so that its ceaseless web of stress and negativity occasionally proves to be too much. Stress is a physical response to emotional or physical threats (real or imagined) which the body is unable to respond to appropriately, and its symptoms include; an increase in heart rate; irritability; muscular rigidity; stimulation of the adrenal gland; and aggression, all of which are the body’s defences, operating automatically through a process known as the ‘fight-or-flight’ (or stress) reaction. This behaviour has almost become an ordinary way of life, and any attempt to fight or ignore it often results in a case of the cat chasing its tail and worsens the situation.

Long term exposure to stress can lead to serious health problems, and in the case of chronic stress, can reprogram the brain, leaving it vulnerable to persistent anxiety and depression. So what is the best solution for relieving stress? The common antidote is to sit in front of the TV or laptop for hours on end, but this activity proves futile, as it just exacerbates the whole situation, and merely serves as nothing more than a distraction. When we try to relax, mental chatter plagues our minds as it insists on dwelling on problems of the past, anticipating the future with a sense of dread, and disregarding of the calm, relaxing stillness of the present moment.

Fortunately, this is where brain entrainment can help tremendously. You see, when we are in a disorderly state of stressful thinking, our brains operate within the Beta state, between 13 & 40 Hz. Within this state, we are out of balance, and prone to mental fatigue. By listening to Isochronic tones, binaural beats or monaural beats at a frequency of between 3 & 8 Hz, we can induce the soothing state of Theta. From here, we can enter a state of progressively enhanced relaxation, and discover that the brain (or ego) has a way of greatly exaggerating problems for you to dwell on. It certainly is an effective method, and is highly recommended as an alternative to medications, which cause more problems than they solve.

In this article, I will answer the question “What is brainwave entrainment?” with an introductory guide to this simple but powerful mind tool. I will also show you how you can easily use brainwave entrainment to intentionally create the precise states of mind that you desire.

What is Brainwave Entrainment?

Brainwave entrainment, also known as “brainwave synchronization,” is any practice that causes brainwave frequencies to align with a stimulus having a frequency that corresponds to any intended brain state, such as deep, meditative relaxation.

In this article I will introduce you to three of the most common and accessible brainwave synchronization technologies.

Three Common Brainwave Entrainment Technologies

Binaural Beats

The most common and well-known entrainment technology is binaural beat technology. Binaural beats are based on a phenomenon discovered by science some 170 years ago, and work by broadcasting two separate frequencies, one in each ear, in order to tune to a desired frequency.

For example, if you wanted to tune your brain to a 7 Hz frequency, you could play 200 Hz in your right ear, and 207 Hz in your left ear. The brain will compensate for the difference between the two and produce a third tone that will be exactly 7 Hz. This will result in your brain frequency being raised or lowered, and tuned to the desired operating stage. Headphones must be used in order for binaurals to be effective.

Monaural Beats

Monaural beats differ from binaural beats in that they are easier on your brain. With monaural beats, there is no need to balance tones, and therefore no adjustment time is required. Because one tone pulses on and off a specific pattern, it’s easy to produce the desired brainwave frequency quickly. Monaural beats offer superior technology over binaural. Headphones are optional but recommended.

Isochronic Tones

Isochronic tones are the most powerful type of brainwave entrainment, utilizing equal intensity tones, increases in pulse speed, and synchronizing of the brain with the rhythm. Isochronics use a distinct and clean wave form which is designed to harmonize with the brain much more efficiently. Headphones are optional but recommended.

Difference between Subliminal Recordings and Brainwave Entrainment

Subliminal recordings embed subliminal messages into music and sounds, but do not actually change the brain’s activity as brainwave technologies do. Subliminal recordings do not display any demonstrated immediate effects, and there is ongoing debate on whether they ultimately are effective at all.

Brainwave entrainment, on the other hand, works immediately, and is noticeable during and after even the first use. Binaural beats and these other technologies are powerful tools used by neurophysiologists throughout the world to quickly and efficiently achieve desired states of mind.

Is Brainwave Technology Dangerous?

Brainwave Entrainment uses the exact same frequencies that we touch upon everyday in our daily lives. Think of it like a radio tuning dial that allows you to intentionally reach certain levels of consciousness “On Demand”. However, it is a good idea to consult with a doctor before using entrainment technologies if you have heart problems, a history of mental illness, or any other factors that you are concerned about.

Also, keep in mind that brainwave entrainment affects your brain frequencies dramatically while in use. You can go into a state similar to sleep or suddenly find yourself functioning at your most mentally active and creative level while using them. Therefore, you obviously should not use brainwave technology while driving, operating heavy machinery, or performing any other activity that may be compromised during use.

In general, the best time to use brainwave entrainment is when you are seated or lying down, or otherwise unoccupied.

Subtle Differences in Sound Recordings

All of these brainwave technologies are normally delivered embedded in audio tracks that play soothing relaxing music and pleasant sounds of nature. Each recording is designed to tune the brain to a precise frequency to achieve specific desired effects. Although the recordings may sound similar, the beats and tones can be tuned to achieve very precise frequencies designed to pinpoint, stimulate and enhance certain abilities.

Benefits of Brainwave Entrainment

A small sampling of desirable effects experienced by even first-time users of brainwave entrainment include:

1. The body feeling heavy and the inability to move freely
2. Total relaxation of the entire body from head to toe
3. Vivid visualizations, colors, and patterns
4. Separation of the conscious and subconscious mind
5. A sensation of all tension leaving your body.
6. Feeling of calm, relaxed sedation
