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.

Imagine this, the public was right long before neuroscientists accepted the
concept that Homo sapiens could be considered left-brain or right-brained.

In 1981 Roger W. Sperry of Cal Tech won the Nobel for his twenty years of
research on split-brain specialization. Until the 1990s and MRI proof, research
scientists did not accept his theory of left and right brains specialization. It
was considered an urban legend.

The use of fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imagery) produced conclusive
evidence that people are comfortable as either left or right brain dominant.

During our sixteen waking hours of activity both cerebral hemispheres are operating simultaneously, but not with equal input. During sleep our right brain is fully dominant with a small contribution from our dormant left brain.

Sperry said, each hemisphere is a conscious system in its own right, perceiving, thinking, remembering, willing and emoting. They can even be operating in conflict and in ignorance of each other.

So What

The EEG (Electroencephalogram) measures our electrical brainwave rhythms.
Left brain dominance occurs in Beta cycles per second (13 to 40 cps). We can
see and measure brain dominance with fMRI and EEG.

Right brain EEG occurs during Alpha (8 to 12) cycles per second and Theta
3 to 7 cps. The answer to so what, is how we think and feel, behave, learn and remember, are determined by our brain dominance. We use both left and right
brains but one is leading and the other operating in sync.

Left Brain Dominant Processing of Information

1. Language (verbal) specialist. Speech, listening, reading and writing.

2. Logic, order and linear minded; sequential.

3. Likes to split whole ideas into its essential elements. Called Reductionist.

4. Chases ideas, objects and theories for closure.

5. Specializes in math and science; part to whole for conclusions.

6. Excited by problems and challenges to seek solutions.

7. Prides themselves for being analytical and exacting.

8. Unaware of the contents of night dreaming and daydreaming.

9. Great in emergencies. Strategies are step by step.

10. Is externally driven, narrow focused and objective; respects authority.

11. Our left hemisphere is a serial processor, one program

must be completed before another commences.

Right Brain Processing of Information

1. Thinking is predominantly in mental visualizations (mental movies).

2. Pattern Recognition; fills in the missing elements with spatial skills.

3. Intuitive and creative, seeks great understanding. Spiritual.

4. Parallel Processing: multiprocessing ideas simultaneously.

5. Holistic: organizes parts in whole.

6. Emotions follow imagery; amygdala and hippocampus. Learning and
and long term memory contributions.

7. Subjective, internal and wide (peripheral rod vision). Speed reading.

8. Empathetic, emotional and social intelligence.

9. Uses trial and error, process of elimination.

10. Active during meditation, hypnagogic and hypnopompic moments.

11. Questions authority, willing to disrupt our comfort zone and the status quo.

Social Consequences

a) Left brainers are morning people; right brainers come to life after 5pm.

b) Left: liberal parenting strategies; laissez faire approach to life;

Right: strict with kids; comfortable with possibilities.

c) Left: in personal relationships dominants significant others;

Right: desires interactivity with family and associates, needs feedback.

d) Left: neither romantic, nostalgic nor sentimental;

Right: sends gifts, stays in touch and is emotional.

e) Left: independent, closed and impersonal;

Right: open with others, offers advice and desires feedback.

f) Left: all business, no sense of playfulness.

Right: shows humanity and permits the inner child to play at work.

g) Left: not talkative, remains impersonal to her/his team.

Right: enjoys give and take of brainstorming with creativity.

h) Left: giving praise is like pulling teeth and they do not value the
compliments of others.

Right: Looks for examples of effort and behavior to praise; they

enjoy compliments, awards and praise.

Endwords

Left and right brained people can be separated into (left brain) people who are comfortable living in the present reality, verses (right brain) folks focusing more on the past and future.

Left brain: are symbol processing folks including words, numbers and scientific formulas. Language is their first game, and memorizing words and formulas produce endorphins and dopamine neurotransmitters of pleasure.

Right brain: are concrete processing folks who want a sensory reaction (see, hear
and touch). Putting it in context and discovering how it works is fun for right brainers. They prefer concreteness in their lives.

If you are left brain dominant you are in your comfort zone (status quo) when you
know the rules of the game (occupation and relationship). Right brain dominant
people make up the rules as they figure it out their strategy.

We use both our left and right hemispheres; of that there is no question. The
dominance in specific situations and the ability to switch from one to the other is
the primary challenge. Impulsiveness is a right brain attribute that should be balanced (in sync) with our left brain sense of order.

There is no winner because Homo sapiens have two operating systems in our
cerebral cortex. The question is appropriateness for the circumstances.
Generally, it would be better to enhance the use of our right brain (senses, emotions
and brain stem) more than we do.

Western society tends to overuse our left (Beta) brain, leading to chronic stress and
less intuition and creativity. Abilities alone do not prevail; effort (persistence and
determination) are right brain skills required to be remarkable not merely competent.

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.

Imagine Life as a grassy playing field. Let’s call it “Earth”. There are massive numbers of people sitting on the sidelines. These observers are content to watch others play and win. They feel that life is a sport meant for those richer, smarter, or more beautiful than they are.

Life is NOT a spectator sport – YOU WANT TO PLAY!

You want to feel the exhilaration of winning life. You want to perfect the trick shots. You want to enjoy the rewards that come with success. So, you have arrived at the knowledge that to do this, you must become a deliberate creator of life. In other words, it has become obvious (in many cases “painfully” obvious) that if you want to win, you must send the ball in the direction you want it to go.

Now, You’re ready to try it out! You’ve become brave enough to step onto the field. You’re ready to join the game!

BUT, WHAT ARE THE RULES?

Greetings! I will be your coach. I have written a bit of a guidebook for beginners through advanced players. By the way, I’m only using the “game” metaphor for this brief introduction. Think of life as a garden, or a 1970’s car wash, if you’d like.

These secret four realms explains the most powerful force in the universe – ATTRACTION! This law has remained the greatest kept secret of all time. Now, more than ever, the time has come for the world to understand these secrets. I will teach you the basics…AND BEYOND!

Enter the arena with confidence and with the best of intentions! In time, you will discover that every other player is YOU, and YOU, and YOU, and YOU in various uniforms. A Win/Win Life! Let the games begin!

WHAT IS THE LAW OF ATTRACTION?

Everything is energy. Energy attracts like energy.

Have you ever walked into a room and felt instantly attracted to one person, above all others? Was there a certain “energy” involved? Our brains send out measurable signals called “brainwaves”. These waves are invisible, like radio waves. You tune a radio to the same frequency as the radio station, so that you may hear it. In the same way, you tune yourself to the same frequency as your desire, so that you may receive it. WE ARE MAGNETS, ATTRACTING ALL THAT WE GIVE OUR ENERGY (ATTENTION) TO.

My objective with this article series is to focus on the path of creation which this law takes to manifest everything in our lives. There has been a great deal of information written on the law of attraction, lately. If you are new to this knowledge – KEEP READING! As this writing develops, the definition of the law of attraction will be made clear.

THE REALMS:

(Anything that you experience, all that can be named, falls into one of the following categories)

Physical

All of the objects in front of you exist in the physical realm. This includes whatever you are able to perceive with the senses. Anything you can see – hear – smell – taste – touch fits into this area. It encompasses the entire material world that surrounds us. The physical realm stands apart as the medium in which everything takes place. It is the arena.

Mental

This realm includes all of our thoughts – ideas – opinions – beliefs. All constructs of the mind have their place in the mental realm. Information, communication, organization…I’m sure you understand.

Emotional

All that we feel takes place in the emotional realm. From fear and anger, to Bliss and Love! These pulls from within, form our internal guidance system. E-motion = Energy in motion!

Spiritual

This realm is all about our drives. It is “spiritual” in the way that it represents our “spirit”. It has been known as the animating Life force from within. It is our inner fire, the place of desire – ambition – action. Your striving toward a goal is the voice of the entire Universe shouting, “BE, DO, HAVE THIS!”

Okay, so now you know the four realms! These may be used as a model for you to learn how reality is created.

Imagine knowing how to send people secret messages which must be obeyed, the ability to persuade and influence people to do anything you desire? No this is not science fiction and it isn’t conspiracy theory. This technology is commonly known as “Silent Sound” and was reportedly used during the Persian Gulf War by the United States on Iraqi troops. During the war the Iraq Military Command and Control System was destroyed and Iraqi troops were forced to use commercial radio frequencies. These channels were hijacked by the US Psyops team and vague, confusing and contradictory military orders were broadcast to the Iraqi troops. Captured Iraqi soldiers reported feeling entirely demoralized and overcome with fear and hopelessness as a result of listening to the broadcasts.

Silent sound involves recording spoken commands, filtering and changing their frequency using Frequency Modulation and adjusting them so they are outside of the normal auditory spectrum. Although we can’t physically hear what is being said our brain receives and understands every word. These commands can be hidden on audio Cd’s and MP3 files, played to you whilst you are browsing websites, sent to you whilst you watch the television or listen to the radio and you are completely unaware of the fact that you are being brainwashed!

This technology does not have to be used in such a negative way however, I used it with great success to overcome a 25 year chronic addiction to alcohol. I never imagined I would be able to beat alcoholism until I discovered Binaural Beats .”Binaural beats are auditory brainstem responses which originate in the superior olivary nucleus of each hemisphere. They result from the interaction of two different auditory impulses, originating in opposite ears, below 1000 Hz and which differ in frequency between one and 30 Hz” (Oster, 1973)

Oster observed that when two sound frequencies are sent to the brain individually via each ear (for example, through stereo headphones), the two hemispheres of the brain work together to create a third phantom signal. This signal is referred to as a “binaural beat” and it pulses at the exact numerical difference between the two tones. For example, if a signal of 200 CPS (Cycles Per Second) is introduced to the left ear and a 210 CPS signal to the right,CPS a binaural beat of 10CPS (or Hertz) is created. Research has shown that first small areas of the brain and, gradually large areas of the brain start to resonate sympathetically with the “phantom” binaural beat. This is due to what is termed as the “Frequency Following Response”. Further research has proven that binaural beat frequencies can influence the brain to enter specific brain states. This happens effortlessly as your brain activity aligns itself with the frequency of the binaural beat.

In layman’s terms it means you can create tones to create a desired brainwave state. For example, meditation, deep sleep, lucid dreaming, astral projection, creativity increase, stress reduction, relaxation, super learning, intuition etc.

Combine binaural beats with Silent sound and you have an extremely powerful tool which can yield outstanding results. I was a chronic alcoholic for over 25 years and when I stopped drinking I used binaural beats associated with alcohol addiction and added my own positive affirmations which I then encoded with Silent Sound. I would listen to the track for twenty minutes each day and after a week had passed I no longer had a craving for alcohol. I’ve been off alcohol for 2 years now, have never had a relapse and I can say with confidence that I will never drink again.

There is always alcohol around me and it doesn’t bother me at all, that to me provides undeniable proof that this technology works. How many people who have given up drinking can say that they have never had a relapse? I did not need anything apart from binaural beats and Silent Sound, I did not need willpower either, it really was easy! I believe that the semantic connection I had within my brain associated with alcoholism was completely removed, it was as if I had never been addicted in the first place.

I discovered that by combining Silent sound with binaural beats I could easily reprogram my mind in any way I chose. It was possible to increase my motivation and creativity, reach blissful states of meditation and also remove depression and stress. This technology has completely transformed my life. I do not use this technology on other people however, as I believe that to do so would be morally wrong, but its possible applications fascinate me nonetheless.

Imagine if you wanted to influence other people and make them do whatever you wanted them to. All you would need to do would be to create a digital recording of verbal commands, encode them with Silent Sound technology and then play the recordings to your target. It would be easy to implement the commands on a website and to broadcast the commands to an unsuspecting public. You would be able to entice people to buy your products and they would be completely unaware of the fact that you were influencing them.

If you are interested in this technology and would like to learn how to use it ethically then I recommend that you visit binauralsound.com Please ensure that you turn off all sound before visiting the website otherwise you will become a victim of mind control and will be possessed with an insatiable desire to purchase the products you see there.

Imagine if you will that the brain is like a stereo system, and you have inside, some of the best and most exciting music in the world. The only problem is that the volume knob is stuck at 4 out of ten and there is nothing you can do to change it. This is the same state the brain is in, it is stuck at a very low volume and for the longest time, there seems to be nothing that we as a human race can do anything about it. Science and medicine has already established that the brain is capable of so much more and their research only extends to and has only revealed about 30% of the entire brain. That is why we can say that there are many unknown potential that is stored on our brains.

Every day, there is something new to be discovered about the brain and how it functions and every day, there is another revelation about some function of the brain that can be used to improve and somehow evolve the human race. One of the more recent discoveries is the fact that the brain produces electromagnetic waves, borne from the very functions of the neurons in the brain and from the natural processes of the actual mind.

What this initial discovery was momentous enough, for science, using the normal and quite ordinary E.E.G machines at their disposal, had discovered the way in which the brain communicates with one and another. Somehow, this important discovery would have led to quite something else, but there was an unexpected turn of events in the case which there was another discovery about these brainwaves. These brainwaves also had the ability to evoke certain super states of the brain and all you need to look at was the 5 categories of low to high brainwave activities and just what kind of benefits they could reap with the mind. For example, the list of benefits would include things like better mental focus, better mental agility, more creativity, the ability to learn more, absorb a new language faster, evoke an accelerated healing process in the body – these are just some of the examples that you can take to the bank with you.

For one thing, there are still plenty of grey areas when thinking about just how these brainwaves and the brain has this relationship, and why it is there is this electromagnetic flux in the brain in the first place. These topics are still under discussion and with this we might even find more improved ways that can improve and evolve us as a human race. In the meantime, all we need to do is to utilise the already existing technologies that are available to the brain, which in more common consumer terms, is called brainwave entrainment audio CD’s which you can buy online from any digital merchant. These are the easy to use, easy to access technologies that can help you evoke the brainwaves you need to enhance your capabilities. This is how you will be able to increase brain power with brainwave entrainment.

Imagine if you have the power to order your mind, what to absorb and what not to absorb? Imagine if you are blessed with the power of opening and closing your mind the way you want? May sound outrageous to many, but science have stepped in to do the exact thing, to acquire the power of mind control.

Controlling ones mind or the art of mind control is not hereditary or inborn. It is a technique that required years of repeated practice and patience where individuals acquire the ability to split their minds into two-the conscious and the subconscious. Once the mind is split, the individual has the power to ‘delete’ all the bad patterns, bad behaviors and bad instructions imbibed within the subconscious mind. Now the question for the moment is how do we do this? Well any monks or Kung-fu masters can answer the question, with a casual explanation about training your mind to split itself or fall into complete meditative state where you can actually converse with your inner self etc.

However this can be way beyond the capacity of ordinary man who neither have the mental functioning or time to acquire the art of mind control.

It is in this scenario where science has applied its innovative mechanism. With the use of affirmations or positive message inflow, autosuggestion or autogenics and binaural beats, technology had created successful brain entrainment programmes, which can help us to acquire the ability to reach into the subconscious and later adapt mind-controlling techniques. This technology is based on the concept of inducing desired frequency state in the brain with the help of series of sounds and visual representations. For example, if the individual wants accelerated learning phase, his alpha waves in the brain has to be excited. For this, binaural beats will be introduced at a sine wave that will be differing by about 10 Hz in both the ear. Thus the constructed difference can stimulate alpha waves in the brain where the subjected person immediately gets into a phase where he can learn faster, absorb more information at a single go and even solve the most complicated theories and problems.

It is as easy as it sounds and guarantees 100 percent safety. You can find tones of literature supporting the benefits of brainwave entrainment. The technology has become increasingly more and more sophisticated, advanced and user friendly. Making your brain function the way you want has become as easier as switching on your favorite mp3 player, plugging in the headset and finding about 20 minutes of your daily routine.

Now you don’t need hours of motivational classes or dreaded days in rehabilitation centers. By mastering the art of mind control we can kick bad habits like smoking, drinking etc and can motivate ourselves to live, work and do far better than we have ever imagined. This application is available in hundreds. Choose the best one that suits your requirement and give yourself a chance to unlock the massive potential in your noodle system.

Imagine if a benevolent alien race landed and gave you access to a manifestation tool build around cutting-edge highly advanced scientific tools. Would you be interested? I know I would.

Well the relatively new science of binaural beats is not far off the alien technology mark!

WHAT ARE BINAURAL BEATS?

Binaural beats are not actual sounds as many people believe. They are created by the brain and so not exist independently. Binaural beats are an illusion created by the mind. These beats are created only in the mind and do not actually exist. It’s a bit like an optical illusion only with sound instead of sight. Binaural beats occur when two sounds with slightly different frequencies are played to each ear independently of each other.

The left ear hears one sound while the right ear hears a similar sound that differs only slightly in frequency. The brain merges these two sounds and creates the illusion of a beat that has the frequency of the difference between the two sounds. For example, if the right ear sound plays at 20 hertz and the left ear sound plays at 30 hertz the binaural beats will be heard “beating” at 10 hertz. 30 – 20 = 10!

So what is the point of hearing illusory beats that have a specific frequency?

THE POWER OF BINAURAL BEATS

Science has shown that when you listen to these binaural beats your brainwaves start to mirror the frequency of the beats you are listening to. This means you can create specific brainwave patterns by listening to binaural beats. But this is only the beginning!

It has also been demonstrated, in a great many scientific studies, that your physical, emotional and mental states all have brainwave patterns associated with them. Scientists know the exact brainwave frequencies that are associated with anxiety, fear and stress. They also know the brainwave frequencies that are associated with deep sleep, deep relaxation, heightened focus, meditation, increased creativity and many more.

In fact they know just about every brainwave frequency and what the physical, mental and emotional affects of them are!

Such brainwave patterns can be easily replicated in your brain simply by listening to a carefully chosen binaural beats track. Since the discovery of how binaural beats affect the mind and body, there have been recordings designed to quickly and easily take your brain into different states. These states range from relaxation to more energy!

You can even create states of euphoria by listening to a binaural beats recording that has a frequency of between 4 and 7 hertz because it will create brainwaves that naturally release endorphins into the body.

YOUR IMAGINATION IS THE LIMIT

In the personal development field they are now creating binaural beats that can help you visualize more vividly, create lucid dreams, help in the healing process and re-program your subconscious mind.

It has been demonstrated that through the use of binaural beats you can replicate hypnotic states and states of deep meditation. How you use them is only dependent on your imagination!

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.

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.

Imagine having a technology that can allow you to meditate like a zen Buddhist monk. Think for a moment how many benefits you could receive from being able to enter a deep thought-free state within minutes by merely pushing a button. Visualize for a second what you could program into your mind through the use of an almost instant alpha, theta or delta brain-wave state.

Instant deep states of meditation have life-long benefits for the body but they can also be used to re-program the subconscious mind. Fears, phobias and even distant buried memories can be easily released in these states. However, the problem, until now, has been creating these mental states. Until recently only 20 years of diligent practice would be enough to enter such states of mind and body. But not anymore!

A new technology, which keeps improving, has been designed to create such states in a matter of minutes called Binaural Beat recordings. Binaural Beats are specific frequencies that can bring you into a profoundly deep state of meditation within minutes using the latest innovations in sound technology. They utilize a specific audio mixing technique designed to alter the listener’s brain wave activity. By sitting or lying down in a quiet environment and wearing headphones these beats can be used to create Alpha, Theta and Delta brainwave patterns.

When brainwave patterns change it has been documented that there is also a change in chemical reactions within the body which can have a profound effect on your entire physical structure. In effect these beats have the same impact and benefits of a deep meditative state akin to hypnologic trance or transcendental mediation. Now very few people can enter such deep states of hypnosis and transcendental meditation takes a lifetime to perfect. So the immediate benefits of using binaural beats is apparent.

An added benefit of using such technology is that the states it creates allow you to access the subconscious parts of the mind. Those parts that are subliminal and just below the conscious threshold. Binaural beats can be used with many other self improvement tools (such as subliminal recordings, affirmations or visualization etc.) to increase your personal development dramatically as it creates deep states of relaxation and can put you into Alpha and Theta states. Therefore they can be used as an aid to alter beliefs, heal emotional issues or create behaviour changes. One of the great benefits they can give is a quick energy boost equivalent to a few hours sleep. It is believed that by using binaural beats you can:

1. Create deep states of meditation.

2. Boost your intelligence and creativity.

3. Slow aging.

4. Create remarkable emotional changes at a very deep level.

5. Eliminate Stress & anxiety.

The beauty of binaural beats is that they can be used to induce these states and create these changes with no effort on the part of the listener. You just wear a set of headphones and let the sound technology do the rest.

The discovery of binaural technology is mostly accredited to Dr. Gerald Oster. Oster first published research about binaural beats in 1973 in Scientific American after he had conducted extensive studies.

However, this is not as well known, binaural beats where in fact first discovered as far back as 1839 by an Associate Professor, at the University of Berlin, called Heinrich Wilhelm Dove. Dove accidentally discovered that when two similar sounds, that are only slightly shifted in frequency, are given separately to left and right ear they cause a pulsation or beat type effect within the brain.

However, it was Dr. Oster who uncovered the full benefits of using this new technology when he discovered the effects that binaural beats have on the mind and body.

The Binauarl Beat market has many great manufacturer’s of some neat products. It is possible to create your own with the proper software. However, an in-depth knowledge of brainwave patterns and their effect on the mind and body is advisable before ever trying to create your own. I have read several forum postings that state the use of binaural beat technologies has created negative and even damaging results on listeners. For that reason I believe it is safer to stick to the tried and tested pre-made recordings that are available for a reasonable fee. You can purchase separate binaural beat recordings to induce almost any emotional state or you can even enroll on a binaural beat program for self improvement that takes several years to complete.

I, myself, have no experience of any damaging effects due to the use of binaural beats. However, if you are using binaural beats for personal development purposes their use can be uncomfortable. All my experiences have been extremely positive, although not always pleasurable. Let me explain.

ECC machines have been used in the past to monitor the brain activity of life-long meditaters. These experts at meditation showed alpha, that and even delta brainwave patterns while in a self-induced meditative state. Through binaural beat recordings you can create such states easily.

The alpha brainwave patterns are only apparent during a relaxed state. Alpha brainwaves are the most apparent brainwave state encountered during hypnosis and when we experience this state, which do constantly throughout the day, we are extremely susceptible to suggestion. This is the state that you enter during hypnosis. Theta brainwaves allow for the absorption of huge amounts of information while Delta brainwaves are most apparent when you enter a state of deep but dreamless sleep. It is the Delta state that is the main aim of such practices as transcendental meditation. Although for many entering the delta state while fully conscious can be very relaxing, for most it is not, for it is during such brain activity that internal change occurs.

By bringing the listener into this extremely deep state of meditation, binaural technology, can activate major positive changes in your emotional, mental and physical make-up. This can be a very profound and extremely life-changing experience. You will find past buried memories resurface as the beats direct your brain to restructure its neural network and raise your “comfort level” to a new high. After several listening session you find yourself less stressed out than before and your reaction to situations, that in the past would have sent you screaming round the halls, much more composed. The technology literally eliminates negative emotional, mental and physical patterns. The discomfort I spoke of earlier comes from the restructuring of your brain’s neural network as old buried uncomfortable memories are triggered in the brain before the connecting emotional response is wiped away. You are still left with the memory of the event but you no longer have any emotional attachment to it. Don’t worry, for some reason, it doesn’t affect positive memories! It may be due to the natural state of the mind and body, for this system of mind/body is always seeking equilibrium and harmony, which tends to lead to feelings of joy and happiness.

Binaural beats is a proven technology that can create brainwave changes which alter your mood and changes the chemical reactions in your body to encourage faster healing and harmonious interaction between cells. However, there is currently research being conducted to determine if these beats can actually direct the brain to reformat DNA encoding. If this is possible the possibilities are almost limitless – decrease in illness, genetic disorders, a reversal of aging etc.

If personal development and self improvement isn’t your main aim for investigating binaural beats (and don’t want to get younger) then the single recordings designed to induce specific mind/body changes is enough. You can get recordings for an energy boost, meditation, to spark the creative areas of the brain, induce deep sleep and even one that acts like a digital drug!

All these changes happen effortlessly and easily. You will need a place to sit or lie quietly and a good pair of stereo earphones. The recording does the rest.

Imagine being able to exercise yourself or your child out of:

ADHD
learning and behavioural problems
mood disorders
eating disorders
depression
anxiety
PTSD

in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Neurofeedback (also known as neurotherapy, neurobiofeedback, EEG biofeedback and brainwave biofeedback) is a powerful way to train you and/or your child’s brain that is fun, easy, non-invasive, safe natural and has no adverse side effects.

This is a scientifically proven process that uses one or two tiny sensors on your head that pick up brainwaves in real time and sends them to the computer where they are instantly analysed by the software and used to control brain games or the size of a DVD screen. So you are using your brain power to train your brain…no hands just brainwaves!

When Greg, 12, first began neurofeedback he had all the usual symptoms of ADHD: he was hyperactive, aggressive, had mood swings, poor self esteem and struggled with his behaviour and school work. By the time he finished six months later he was captain of his football team. His confidence had sky rocketed, his school work had improved dramatically and he was much calmer. “It’s incredible how my son’s life has improved after doing neurofeedback with Jonathan,” said his mother.

Neurofeedback uses one or two tiny sensors that pick up brainwaves and relays that information wirelessly to the software, which allows you to control games or the size of a DVD screen with your brainwaves. Your brain knows that it has to make the graphics play or it has to keep the DVD screen big. This gives your brain feedback about its own functioning as its brainwaves that are driving the changes. Giving your brain this feedback allows it to re-regulate or re-tune itself. It makes changes to its own functioning that relate to improvements in:

concentration
mood
behaviour

Its so easy with neurofeedback you or your child can watch DVDs and letting your brain do the work!

Neurofeedback can remediate:

ADHD and ADD
OCD
learning disorders
developmental delay
behavioural problems
PTSD
anxiety
depression
mood and eating disorders
anger
sleep problems
migraines
headaches

This is possible because the brain is involved in all of these problems.

Neurofeedback is a scientific field Neurofeedback is part of a scientific field that goes back to the late sixties. It has evolved rapidly in the last 10 years swept along by the tremendous advances in neuroscience and the rapid improvement of computer power and speed. It is cutting edge science based on natural healing.

What medical and psychology researchers are saying Professor Frank Duffy MD, of Harvard Medical School said,”The literature, which lacks any negative study of substance, suggests that EEG biofeedback therapy (neurofeedback) should play a major therapeutic role in many difficult areas. In my opinion, if any medication had demonstrated such a wide spectrum of efficacy, it would be universally accepted and widely used.”

Neurofeedback uses one or two tiny sensors that pick up brainwaves and relays that information wirelessly to the software, which allows you to control games or the size of a DVD screen with your brainwaves.

Neurofeedback is like riding a bike. What makes you stay upright is your brain. It receives information from your body about your position re the ground and sends signals to your body and arms to make tiny movements of the handlebars and shift your weight to keep you balanced. All this happens in real time and without much conscious effort.

Neurofeedback is like riding a bike except your brain is not telling your body what to do (making tiny movements). It’s telling itself what to do (making tiny changes in brainwave patterns). We can graph these changes from each training session and graph all the sessions together to get a picture of the brain tuning itself back to health and normality.

The feedback works using any DVD played on your computer. When you or your child’s brainwaves are in balance the screen stays big and when they shift out of balance the screen shrinks. Just being aware that you have to keep the screen as big as possible is all you need to do…your very clever brain does the rest. This makes the training easy, fun and uses the natural motivation and concentration of you or your child when you watch something you enjoy like a movie or cartoons etc.

Neurofeedback is excellent for kids as it’s so hard to teach them concentration exercises or teach them meditation especially when they have major issues with impulsiveness and focus.

Adults have enough trouble with learning this too. They often try meditation but can’t do it because their brain’s are out of tune just enough to make it too difficult. Either they cant stop thinking and just cant relax and let go or they crash too deeply and cant focus and feel spaced out. Neurofeedback can tune your brain very quickly so you can then learn and master meditation.

Neurofeedback is the most precise and powerful form of brain training. It is a scientifically proven process that uses one or two tiny sensors on your head that pick up brainwaves in real time and sends them to the computer where they are instantly analysed by the software and used to control brain games or the size of a DVD screen. So you are using your brain power to train your brain…no hands just brainwaves!

How does neurofeedback work?

In kids and adults with ADHD and ADD their brainwave patterns are different to the brainwave patterns of kids or adults who don’t have ADHD or ADD. It is the same for:

Anxiety
Depression
Anger
OCD
PTSD etc.

Brainwaves are the way that we can see how the brain has tuned itself. In fact medical specialists and neuropsychologists regularly do EEG (brainwave maps) and compare these to normal EEGs to show people they have some problem, unfortunately all they offer is drugs.

Everyone has all of the brainwaves (Delta, Theta, Alpha, SMR, Low and Hi Beta) present in their brain but what makes a difference is the relationship of these different brainwaves. Too much or too less of a certain brainwave in a certain part of the brain causes problems, which relate to the particular brainwave and what function that part of the brain is responsible for. ADHD has a set of brainwave patterns in various parts of the brain that is different to kids and adults who don’t have ADHD. Its the same with:

developmental delay
learning disorders
OCD
Anxiety
Depression
Behavioural disorders etc

By mapping the brainwave patterns of your brain we can see how well your brain is tuned. We can easily see where there are imbalances and show them to you. Based on this map we target the training specifically to you and/or your child.

Neurofeedback uses your brainwaves in a clever way, as it enables your brain to exercise in very precise and direct ways that change it’s brainwaves back to normal and your issues slowly but surely diminish and disappear…you become balanced because your brain has tuned itself back into balance. We know which structures control what functions and so can train those structures directly and eliminate the problems, associated with that part of your brain.
