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 being able to control your mind so you only experience what you desire out of life. Now imagine being able to do this without years and years of practice and study.

Through experiential experimentation, scientists have found that you can ‘create’ the right conditions for relaxation, visualization, learning, meditation, manifesting and many other useful states of mind. You can change your perceptions of others and yourself. . . thus, ultimately change your life.

The art, or science, of making things happen in this plane of existence in our material world is commonly referred to as manifestation. It has been determined there are various means, or vehicles, which can enhance our endeavors with the manifesting process.

And, for more years than I want to admit, I’ve studied nearly everything to do with spiritual, philosophical, inspirational, metaphysical. . . and even in a few instances I’ve studied some of that which is considered scientific-al. Being of the mindset likened more so to ‘transformation’, rather than self-improvement, my focus has been primarily on that which can assist me on my path to greater awareness, and wholeness. . . to the transformation of being my best authentic self.

As you know, for centuries people have been using outside rhythmic stimulus in the form of drumbeats, chants and singing to bring about various feelings and various states of being. Throughout the ages mystics have intuitively known what scientists have now confirmed.

This has to do with our brainwaves. . .

With all that having been said, I will now talk a bit about one of my most recent studies and experiments. . . that of Manifesting with Intent Through Brainwave Entrainment.

Your brain is made of approximately 100-billion nerve cells, called neurons. These neurons have the ability to gather and transmit electrochemical signals.

So, think of your brain as a ‘super computer’. This super computer is able to communicate with the rest of your body by transmitting electrical signals using chemicals called neurotransmitters.

For a long time now scientists have been measuring the electrical current from the surface of the brain using EEG (Electroencephalography) technology. The EEG measures these electrical discharges and records them as brainwave patterns.

These brainwave patterns can be placed into groups according to the frequency range that is directly related to the state of mind of the person. The frequency ranges are:

Beta (13 Hz – 30 Hz) is the state of normal, wakeful consciousness. As you are working, driving, talking, etc., you are usually in Beta. High beta activity is sometimes associated with anxiety, panic and stress.

Alpha (8 Hz – 12 Hz) is a state of light relaxation. Typified by a calm, focused mind. Alpha is sometimes called the “super learning state” because the brain seems to be more receptive and open to new information. People who meditate usually do so in alpha.

Theta (4 Hz – 7 Hz) is a state of deep relaxation. Dreams and ‘deep’ meditation are often associated with theta.

Delta, (0.5 Hz – 3 Hz) the slowest of the brainwave patterns, can be a state of deep sleep, or trance-like consciousness. Maintaining awareness in delta has been known to open a path to the unconscious.

Areas ‘in-between’ the different brainwave states are called ‘borders’. They represent the transition stage between the different brainwave states. In the course of an average day, most of us spend some amount of time in all of these brain states.

When scientists first learned about “brainwaves” they began asking themselves, “What if we could train the brain to go into these different states?” After much studying and experimenting, their solution to this question is what is called. . . Brainwave Entrainment.

So, you may ask, “Exactly what is brainwave entrainment”? Following is a simplified, short answer. . .

‘Entrainment’ is a term from physics. It means ‘the tendency for two vibrating bodies to lock into phase so that they vibrate in harmony’. For example, one tuning fork when struck and placed next to another tuning fork will cause the second one to vibrate at the same rate. When binaural frequencies are applied to the brain, it becomes possible to entrain the brain frequency from one stage to another.

One of the easiest pathways for applying a stimulus to the brain is through the ears. This involves presenting the ears with a steady and accurate pulsed/beat pattern. This pattern of sound works naturally with the brain and can produce amazing effects.

The tendency of the brain to tune in to and match the external stimulus frequency is referred to as the ‘frequency following response’.

As your brain continues to increase its exposure to brainwave entrainment, the ‘frequency following response’ becomes ever more responsible for a totally natural change. Your brain is pushed to create new neural pathways, changing patterns of perception and information transfer in the brain. . . thus, creating new and enhanced ways of experiencing yourself and your world. You will literally think and react differently.

By stimulating naturally occurring brain frequencies through listening to specific brainwave entrainment audios, you can ‘turn on’ the right type of mindset that you need to perform certain tasks and create certain situations. You can also ‘turn off’ negative emotions such as anxiety, panic, stress & fear. Specific brainwave entrainment recordings, combined with intention, can help determine what you experience and consciously manifest into your life.

Due to all the numerous sources now available online regarding The Law of Attraction, ‘The Secret’, we all now know that the way we experience or perceive both ourselves and that which is going on in our lives plays a major factor as to what we continue to attract into our lives. We do indeed create our own reality.

Brainwave entrainment can help you reach the magical field of intent without years of commitment, study and practice. You can change your brainwaves and thus change your life.

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 a world where you could place electrodes on your head, send your brainwaves to a computer, and control a video game without using your hands, just by changing your brainwaves. Picture a world where you could teach your brain to perform better. Perhaps you could improve your IQ, concentrate better, or sleep better. Maybe you could organize better at work, close more sales, get better grades, or be more productive. Maybe you could spiff up your memory that you have noticed is slipping lately. Visualize getting rid of that chronic depression or those nasty panic attacks and eliminating those medications you hate to take.

Too hard to believe? Believe it!

We have learned more about the brain in the last 10-15 years than we ever knew before. This is mostly due to advanced imaging techniques, computer technology, and on-going research about how the brain works. Research that began in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s at UCLA and NASA and is continuing today at universities and medical centers around the world is confirming that a form of biofeedback on brainwaves called Neurofeedback effectively teaches the brain to regulate itself better.

Neurofeedback gives information to the person about what their brainwaves are doing (usually via a video game) and rewards them (the rocket flies, they hear beeps, etc) when they change their brainwaves the way that they are being asked to. This process is called Operant Conditioning which is a well known learning strategy. The original research was done with cats that were rewarded with milk and chicken broth when they increased a certain brainwave. (The human brain apparently will do anything for a ‘beep’…)

Research is also teaching us what normal brain waves patterns should look like. Brain mapping technology called a Quantitative Electroencephalograph (QEEG) takes a classic EEG (a look at the electrical function) and compares brainwave data to a database of normal brains. This process can pinpoint sites on the brain that are not functioning normally. Using this technology we can now identify certain learning disabilities, mood disorders, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and more, and pinpoint areas of the brain that are not communicating properly with other areas of the brain. This information can then be used to ‘train’ these abnormal areas of the brain using Neurofeedback to make them more normal and therefore improve function.

Recent research by V.J. Monastra et al has demonstrated that the ratio of two brain waves (theta/beta) on the top of the head (CZ) can be used to predict ADHD with 90% accuracy. Studies show that training the brain at these sites and at these frequencies works as well as, or better than the standard stimulant medication so frequently prescribed for ADHD, and without the side effects.

Leslie Prichep at NYU has used the QEEG to characterize brains affected by Alzheimer’s Disease. One Neurofeedback study on healthy adults showed improved cognitive function and memory. We are beginning to use Neurofeedback to help slow down the cognitive decline, personality changes, and behavioral changes associated with Alzheimer’s.

Because the brain regulates so many things, training the brain can have an impact on a large variety of seemingly unrelated disorders. Neurofeedback has been shown to be effective for depression, anxiety, ADHD, sleep disorders, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), panic attacks, seizures, learning disabilities, Obsessive/Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), cognitive function, memory, Fibromyalgia, chronic pain, migraines, anger, Bi-Polar disorder, Autism, stress, organization and planning. Neurofeedback is approved by the FDA for stress management. And studies show that adding Neurofeedback to psychotherapy and AA meetings decreases relapse rates in alcoholism from 80% to 25%. Wow!

Neurofeedback appears to correct underlying problems in brain regulation rather than just treating the symptoms. Frank Duffy, MD at Boston Children’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School stated “If any medication had demonstrated such a wide spectrum of efficacy [as biofeedback], it would be universally accepted and widely used.” The January 2005 edition of the ‘Child and Adolescent Clinics of North America” professional journal stated that Neurofeedback meets their criteria for efficacy for ADHD, depression, anxiety (including OCD, PTSD, phobias, generalized anxiety), learning disabilities, and seizures.

Neurofeedback is being used around the world to help people improve their brain function. Often it is used to improve Peak Performance as opposed to treating any disorder. It is helping astronauts, professional ball teams, athletes, performers, executives, children, students, and people from all professions and all ages.

Neurofeedback treatment consists of an initial evaluation plus twenty to forty 45 minute sessions. These sessions are usually scheduled at least twice a week at first and then may be reduced to once a week when symptoms have improved. Treatment must continue until the positive changes ‘stick’, and then can be discontinued. Follow up studies have shown that if the treatment continues until symptom improvements are lasting for at least a month, then the results will persist. Some studies have shown that symptoms continue to improve even after treatment has ended. Certain medications can often be reduced or eliminated after doing Neurofeedback as the brain learns to regulate itself.

Neurofeedback is not currently covered by most health insurance companies but sometimes psychotherapists incorporate it into their regular therapy sessions which are usually covered. Sessions can cost anywhere from $90 to $145 each with discounts for prepaid packages. Often, people have tried everything else before they find out about Neurofeedback.

Neurofeedback can change a person’s life in invaluable and global ways. It is the wave of the future available now. We regularly get our cars tuned up. Certainly every brain could benefit from a tune up as well.

Imagine a life of abundance. Imagine a life where you can get whatever you want as long as it is well deserved and safe for you to have. Just think if you can get a life free from financial, emotional, physical and spiritual woes. This is this is the ultimate insight of theta healing.

Theta healing is a modality founded by Vianna Stibal where in it allows practitioners to change a person’s DNA thereby transforming the very core of his or her beliefs. Our belief is the main factor why we experience things in our life. We draw both people and experiences to us because of our belief systems. Most of the beliefs we hold are entirely in our subconscious.

You may not know it that you relate financial success with unhappiness because you grew up with successful parents yet they are both leading unhappy lives. This is a perfect situation where healing can help you.

With Vianna Stibal theta healing, it can penetrate the root of the limiting belief and remove it from your subconscious. To eliminate the belief that financial success equals unhappiness, it requires reprogramming of the thought, reinforcing instead that it is safe and beneficial for a person to have financial success and be happy at the same time. It is important to find the right partner for this person that will understand and support also this belief.

Theta healing allows the person to reprogram the unconscious mind allowing any person to recreate their reality. For many years, philosophers and even scientists believe that matter is the building block of the universe. Now, even quantum physics agree that that original belief is incorrect. Consciousness creates matter. This fact provides a solid foundation and explanation for Vianna Stibal healing.

Because of the breakthrough of Vianna Stibal, achieving abundance in life is within the reach of any who attempts theta healing. Start by thinking positively everyday. This way, your brainwave might attract positive energy from the surroundings bringing you positive results (tangible) because of your positive thoughts. The possibility for abundance in your lives is now limitless because of this new cutting edge technique, the theta healing.

Imagine a device that monitors a patient’s brainwaves. Imagine it predicts a seizure is about to occur. Imagine it stops the seizure before it begins. Imagine…

If you could have imagined such a device 10 years ago your name may have been Robert Fischell. A physicist and prolific inventor, Fischell’s revolutionary firsts include the implantable insulin pump and the rechargeable pacemaker. In a 2005 article in Fortune magazine, he had this to say about the typical path of his inventive genius: “Stage one – everyone says it’s impossible. Stage two – they say the solution was obvious all along.”

In 1997 Fischell pursued the next “obvious” step in epilepsy treatment and founded NeuroPace, the maker of the Responsive Neurostimulator (RNS). The RNS, currently in Phase III clinical trials, is a device implanted in a patient’s skull that stops seizures by delivering small electrical charges to the brain through thin wires known as electrodes. What makes the RNS so special?

The name says it all – Responsive Neurostimulator…

The Responsive Neurostimulator is the first device to respond, in real time, to the brains epileptic activity and immediately intervene to return the brain to its normal state. The RNS assesses the brain’s activity, determines when pre-seizure brainwaves occur and delivers therapy to stop the impending seizure. It’s remarkable technology, on the cutting edge of what scientists call “closed-loop stimulation,” a treatment mechanism that relies on individualized feedback derived from implanted sensors.

Here’s how it works:

The matchbook-size RNS (roughly 1.6 by 2.4 inches) is the “control center” of the process – monitoring, assessing, and treating. It is implanted in the patient’s skull just below the scalp and, having a contour that matches the curvature of the skull, is undetectable once the hair has regrown. In the most common configuration, the device is connected to two thin electrodes that have been positioned in the area of the brain identified as the focal point, the point of origination, of the seizure activity. Each of the implanted electrodes contains four contact points used to deliver small electrical charges.

As in all high-tech applications, once the hardware is in place, the focus turns to fine-tuning the software. Neurologists begin by establishing a baseline of “normal” brainwave patterns based on data collected by the RNS. When the brainwaves spike beyond the normal range, the RNS shows its stuff – within less than a second it analyzes the feedback, predicts a seizure is about to occur and sends a series of tiny electrical charges that disrupt the seizure and calm the brain – without the patient feeling even the slightest tingle. A simple wireless device allows patients to record data captured by the Responsive Neurostimulator to a laptop and then email the results to their neurologist. This data is analyzed and becomes the basis for future refinements to the RNS settings – settings uniquely established for each individual patient.

This evolving technology is especially important for people whose epilepsy is resistant to medications or for whom surgery is too risky. The Responsive Neurostimulator is a welcome alternative, and a fresh breeze of new hope, to patients who had previously exhausted their treatment options. It takes a page from the Dreamer’s Handbook, refines it in the still of neurological wizardry, swirls in just a touch of medical mystery and holds forth the promise of a normal life. … Sounds like just what the doctor ordered.

I’m here to answer some questions about meditation. I’ve had so many people say things to me like “I don’t have time to meditate, I can’t see anything and everyone else can, I just can’t relax, I don’t get any peace from the kids partner etc, don’t you have to sit on the floor in the lotus position chanting, it doesn’t work for me, what can meditation do for me etc, etc”. Well I’d like to help you understand meditation, what it’s about and how it works.

I’ve been meditating for 24years and even though it was a long time ago I still remember the first few times I meditated and it was just the same. I was in a big room full of strangers with no music in the background just a man up the front talking. It was difficult to say the least and there were always the few who talked freely about all the wonderful things they saw during the meditation. I thought it was just me who couldn’t see anything and just me who didn’t feel like it was working. After talking to a few people on the break I found out that most of us felt the same and we wanted to make it happen.

A few of us got together for a meditation session each week because we all wanted to be able to do it. Someone found a couple of meditation tapes we put them on and did them at each session. Then we got copies and did them at home and each time we got together after that we had improved but it was a slow process. It’s just like everything else that you do, you need to practise it to get better at it, to perfect it. No one can just do a meditation and instantly get to a really deep level and see everything really clearly just like watching a movie or not be distracted by noises, all that takes practise.

Anyway let me answer some questions.

“I don’t have time for meditation”. Meditation is a way of life not a chore that you must do. The science surrounding meditation tells us that 30minutes of meditation is equivalent to 2hours of sleep. So in fact if you meditate every day you will gain time in your busy schedule because you won’t need as much sleep. And if it just isn’t possible to get the time or the space during the day then do it when you’re going to sleep because your subconscious mind never shuts down so it will be taking in every word and you will find that you will sleep much better. Especially if you do one that is specifically for night time because at the end instead of bringing you back to the conscious level it will talk you down into a deep sleep level of consciousness. Then if you do find that you wake up during the night put it on again, it can only help you. It’s always difficult getting into a new routine so set a specific time of day aside to do your meditation and do it at that time every day. Before you know it you’ll be wondering why you didn’t do it before. I wake up earlier in the morning to do my meditation; I just lie in bed and reach for my IPod. The morning can be good because you can start your day with a positive message and visualise your day going to plan.

“I can’t see anything when I meditate” Which immediately makes you think you can’t do it. Well I’ll let you in on a little secret; most people don’t actually see anything, it’s more like an impression or a thought. It’s like daydreaming most of the time you just think about the scene or the situation but if you meditate regularly some people develop the ability to see all the pictures in full colour. It took me years to actually be able to see the scenes while meditating but I did find it easier to recall a scene from somewhere I had actually been or a photo. So if you get some photos of places and look at those during the day or before you meditation that will help you to visualise. I have made short movies for clients with pictures and some relaxing music behind them so that they have some images to recall. It is enough for you to just think about what is being said in the meditation because the subconscious mind will still take it all in and process it. So don’t worry about not being able to see anything and those who can see everything in great detail usually, from my experience, are in the minority.

Another thing that’s helpful to know is that you don’t look at the inside of your eyelids. The technique is to look to the distance or look at a screen on a far wall. And just let yourself go don’t worry or think about doing it right or wrong just do it, with practise and time it will become easy.

“I can’t relax”. The natural way to relax is with deep breathing, slow deep breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth. From there a good way to learn to meditate is to relax the body by thinking about the parts of the body and either relaxing them or first tense that section and then release. This is how I start my meditations, this way people can get to the meditative level without worrying about seeing colours or scenes. The next step is a deepening exercise which is to count down from 10 to 1, 20 to 1 or 50 to 1 whatever gets you to relax more. Know that as you count down you are going deeper and deeper into relaxation. If you get distracted or feel yourself starting to come back up then just count down again, it doesn’t matter how many times you do this. After this comes the visualisation but you start with a scene that you are familiar with, somewhere you can feel relaxed. Be in that place for a while continue to breathe deeply and look at the scene, think about it or get an impression of it. However you do it doesn’t matter, because your subconscious mind will pick up on it and relax your mind and body.

The more you worry about not being able to do it or see it the less you will relax. However it works for you is right, whatever way you do it is OK the main thing is the end result, relaxation and meditation. As long as you think you are at a meditative state you will be there because your thoughts create your reality.

“Don’t you have to sit on the floor in the lotus position chanting”? Well that might be the way the Buddhist Monks do it but no you don’t have to do it that way. I mean would you really be comfortable in that position? The whole idea of meditation is to be comfortable and relaxed. You can sit or lie down but if you can work towards meditating in the sitting position you will find that you can do it anytime and anywhere which is extremely handy. You can then do short meditations during lunch or during a stressful situation.

“What can meditation do for me”? Meditation is a technique to make you feel relaxed and more energised because it slows down the brainwaves and heart rate allowing your body to relax and recuperate. The other reason for meditation is to connect you with your subconscious mind to change your beliefs so you can change your life and to create new beliefs to heal yourself. You will feel better within yourself because a guided meditation will give you positive input and affirmations.

So if you are sick and tired of feeling sick and tired you have a choice, a way to change that, a way to feel better.

Here’s where I give you the definition of insanity: Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different outcome. Think about it, if your life is not working for you the way you’ve been doing things then how about changing the things you do.

The choice is yours, is your life working for you the way it is or is there something you want to change or improve?

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.

I’m going to ask all of you UFO Hunters and Ghost Hunters and Crop Circle Watchers a big favor. I’m going to ask you if you could please stop filming and trying to get photographic captures of the unknown phenomena please? I would really appreciate it.

You see, what the problem is and the motivation behind my request is, is that we can’t ever see what you see once it is captured such as it is, on your camera. Almost never! I can think of maybe three or four compelling instances that have produced some truly remarkable filmed or photographic evidence but aside from that, it is all fuzzy, shaky and unfocused garbage that is barely discernible. I don’t think it has anything to do with the quality of the equipment either.

I don’t even think ILM could help in this regard let alone NASA. I also don’t think that it has anything to do with the atmospheric conditions, the lighting, the time of year, your shoe size or how high the birds are nesting. I think that it is something else entirely different. You may not like this but that’s normal in this field and I have grown to love going against the accepted grain and line of reasoning but doing that, I’m sure, is not without its own particular dangers. So it is now that I don the armor of apathy. It helps.

There are two factors that I think are hindering our ability to capture any photographic or digital evidence of unknown or unknowable phenomena.

1) We are using the wrong kind of cameras and equipment
2) We are pointing them in the wrong direction

I would guess that if and when we are able to start translating the synaptic images captured by EEG Machines and the like into the actual thoughts of the subject, we will have plenty to photograph and capture.

Imagine if you will, the ability to take brainwave activity and translate it into the images, sounds, emotions and smells that the person having them is witnessing so that all may see what is going on in their brain pan. But Erik, what I saw was enormous and brilliantly illuminated and it had this strange vibration the resonated throughout my whole body. I believe you. I just can’t see it. Indeed. To you, it very well may have been just exactly that, but to the camera and perhaps other witnesses if there were any, it was just a barely stable, fuzzy and nondescript dot of ordinary luminosity and mundane movement but I think that there is one more element here that is missing from this picture.

Your potential ability to project images, sounds and other seemingly physical attributes, subconsciously from the inside outward. What you actually project and what is actually being seen or experienced are two different variations of the same thing. The projected event in actuality is probably of a lesser intensity and scope than what is actually occurring in your subconscious mind where all of the fun textures and details flesh out the event quite nicely in all of their terrifying, fear-based, archetypal glory. This is only my theory but I highly suspect that it might be close.

I should think that the source of the event would also have the most intensity of it. It would be at its most dramatic in its apex and origin whereas the projection of it is just that; a barely discernible aspect of its original self existing briefly as a limited phantom for just a little while outside of your perceived self.

Now back to the tech. I think it would behoove us to push our brain scanning and sensing technology to the point of being able to perceive as a human being perceives in addition to all of the other types of measurement currently in use. Those other things help to look at construct and makeup of synaptic activity perhaps, but I think what we really want to see “a thought” as the perceiver and creator is seeing it in all of its imaginative colors, sounds and textures.

I have my doubts as to whether we would actually see thoughts in the brain though. I think the brain is just a translation device and a projector. I would go something like this, maybe; Mind is the film or creator feeding into the projector of the brain that translates the creative imagery being fed it by the Mind and the translated material is then projected onto the construct that we believe is the “outside world”. So we have film, projector and screen. As above, so below.

You may think me barking mad, but pray tell whom else is making any headway with their ideas, science or guesstimations when it comes to things paranormal? I’m either contributing to the madness or bringing light to a possibility. I’m a Philosopher and Theorist. It’s what I do.

So lets all put down the cameras and recorders and come up with some new tech to look deeply inward as a human would would look deeply inward. I think we would find a lot more answers of a satisfactory nature by doing that instead of following our current path of outwardly seeking schizophrenic analytics.

Cheers,
~Erik~
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.

I’m doing precisely what Mr. Wallace Wattles told people they should not do. Examine other theories of the Law of Attraction.

He knew of what he advised, because the more my insatiable curiosity persuades me to examine these concepts, the more bewildered and incredulous I become.

For instance, there’s the ‘Many Worlds’ theory. From what I can make out, they suggest that there are an infinite number of universes. Let’s stop there for a moment. How can this possibly be? Where does one end and the next one begin? Is the firmament made up of a whole lot of little universes, mirror images of our own? I believe this must be the idea, because the proponents say that anything that could have happened in our past, but didn’t, happened in another universe, presumably on a planet exactly like our own.

Does this planet have the same history as we do, only different? This is all to do with their theory of quantum mechanics. Please don’t ask me how! It’s quite extraordinary how people have to complicate everything. We’re told by Wattles, et al, how the Law of Attraction can help us. He explains to us quite categorically how to use the Law. Not how the Universe uses the Law. That’s up to the Universe and is something that will always be completely beyond the comprehension of the brightest human minds.

It’s simply the method of invoking the Law to attain what we desire. So what in the name of goodness has quantum mechanics to do with the price of tea in China? This nonsense of trying to read the Mind of the Universe, which is what these people are trying to do, is laughably futile.

Other dubious experiments are being carried out by professionals in the fields of psychology, neurology and mental health. It concerns the four brainwave states; beta, when you’re awake and alert. Alpha, you’re more relaxed and creative. Theta, you’re in a deep, meditative state and Delta, you’re asleep. The techniques are called ‘brainwave entrainment,’ and it’s supposed to be another, and more positive, way of tapping into the Universe.

But they’re still missing the mark. They’re fiddling around with the brain, when in fact it’s the mind that does the work, so far as the Law of Attraction’s concerned. It is this stupid business of equating the brain with the mind. Unfortunately, some of these research scientists think they’re above the mind/brain differentiation and that if they start tinkering with the brainwaves, they’re entering the province of the mind.

The trouble is, they may be, but nobody knows, least of all them. We’ve been through this mind discussion before though, haven’t we? Is the mind the soul? Is it so ethereal that it’ll forever remain a total enigma? I think this is very likely, since the average person is supposed to use only 2% of their mind. How the boffins arrive at this figure, goodness knows.

Some time ago, we discussed a situation that involved these two ladies, from two families of Evangelicals, contracting cancer. They were prayed over ‘without ceasing,’ and the cancer left them. Now, if you believe in the Deity, this means that humans are capable of changing God’s mind. After all, he either gave these two cancer, or allowed it to take hold of them. After all the praying, he turns round and says; “Well, okay, I’ll let ’em off the hook this time,” and all’s well.

In reality, though, the prayer was intense concentration by a number of people. So did the Universe take away the cancer? If so, and if your faith in the Law is strong enough, will it work every time, on every disease in just the same way as it grants us wealth and possessions?

Interesting point, this. We should look at it in more depth

I’m back from Christmas Holidays with mixed feelings.

On the one hand, I love my work and am keen to get stuck back into things again, like writing this newsletter.

On the other hand, I really enjoyed spending time with my family at Coffs Harbour… throwing my son around the swimming pool at the resorts… visiting Timbertown in Wauchope… dining at fantastic restaurants (such as the Corner in Port Macquarie and Salt in Emerald Beach near Coffs Harbour… sleeping in… reading books (such as “Talent Code” which is an awesome read and even getting stuck into an Edward DeBono autobiography)… having BBQ’s… watching movies (like Get him to the Greek)… visiting a farm… and all the other fun stuff you do on holidays.

Anyway, this year as I was enjoying the break I’ve been asking myself the question…

“How can I earn more by doubling or tripling the amount of time I spend on holidays”

You see, I’ve heard people say “I never take breaks, but I don’t consider what I do work so it doesn’t matter”

But in my opinion, that’s a cop out for being a workaholic.

I believe there is a balance in there, somewhere.

Anyway, I digress.

Here’s some ideas I came up with for making more by taking more holidays.

The thing is when you go on holidays you become more creative.

You get into the alpha brainwaves.

And you come up with ideas.

Different ideas.

So here’s a thought: At the end of every holiday, on your first day back at work you should compile the ideas you have written down on your holidays and put action steps to them.

And with those ideas, we should aim to be able to make more $$$ than the holiday has cost us.

For example, you might get a lot of phone calls coming into your office.

And on your holidays it might just pop into your head that you should upsell your customers at the end of each sale.

Let’s imagine you get 20 phone calls a day.

And you could upsell 20% of them with a product with a $50 profit margin.

4 sales a day at $50 profit per sale = $200 per day.

x 5 = $1000 a week.

x 50 = $50,000 a year…

which well and truly pays for your holiday.

Of course, that is just one idea.

You’ll find plenty more when you let your subconscious mind go to work over your holidays.

I’m always amazed that whenever I mention binaural beats (and their modern relation isochronic tones) as being among my favourite anxiety cures invariably the person I’m speaking to has never heard of them. Other people who have heard of them seem to be a little suspicious – as I once was. After all they have strange names, sound a little ‘tecchie’ and generally just sound like something a bit weird and kooky.

Luckily for me a good friend is a huge fan and eventually, after months of nagging by him and procrastinating by me, I bought two, one for anxiety, one for sleep. And I’m not exaggerating when I say that after years of struggling with anxiety and associated insomnia these simple MP3 recordings had the biggest effect on helping me get a handle on that anxiety of all the things that I tried (though I do combine them with focusing on my breathing).

To explain, binaural beats and isochronic tones are simply sound frequencies that are played into your ears (you do need headphones for them to work properly). This acts to synchronise brain activity, lower the frequency your brain is operating at and thus slow down fast brainwave activity. And isn’t that all we anxiety-sufferers want? Something to slow down that endless chatter and mind activity without needing to resort to drugs or alcohol? Binaural beats do this by putting the brain into the alpha brain wave state as opposed to the beta waves of the normal waking state. Alpha waves are the state of deep, chilled out relaxation that many of us find so very hard to achieve – and you can reach this state in just 30 minutes or less. Amazing or what?

The frequencies themselves can sound a bit odd, so I prefer to buy ones that are overlaid with lovely relaxing sounds like bells or the sound of water which are relaxing in themselves, with the actual effective frequencies running in the background. It’s a good idea to buy them from somewhere that lets you listen to a sample before you buy. I should also add that binaural beats is the term commonly used to describe this technology, however personally I have only used isochronic tones which are the more modern and powerful generation, although they do cost more.

My anxiety is pretty much under control now but of course I still have days when I feel overwhelmed and the anxiety monsters sense a weakness and sneak back in. When I recognise this is happening I lie down, plug in my headphones, switch on my favourite Anxiety isochronic and drift away. You can also help support the binaural beats/isochronic tones in the following way:

Deep breathing and/or focusing on the rhythm of the breath
Visualising and imagining a time when you were really relaxed – perhaps a memory from a happy holiday or lying in the sun in a beautiful place
Visualising a wonderful future
Doing these things helps to calm the brain naturally and then the binaural beats will give it an extra power boost. These have had such a profound effect on my life that I’ve been shocked to find just how many people have never heard of these wonderful anxiety cures. Curious? Do yourself a favour and don’t procrastinate for as long I did….

If you’ve tried cutting calories, eating pre-planned meals, and bought and actually used a fitness club membership, and you’re still carrying around more of you that you’d like, maybe it’s time to try something new.

It all starts and ends in the brain.

Certain brainwave states can actually make you fat, and stay fat.

Changing your brainwave state may change the way your body metabolizes food energy, stores that energy, and uses that energy. In essence, if you can change the frequency that is making you fat, particularly around the middle, you can lose that extra weight that has been building up in your body.

Brainwave entrainment is a powerful audio and/or visual tool that is introduced to the brain in repeated rhythms, to change the state of the mind. Entrainment is a fast and effective way to get you out of the brainwave frequency that is keeping you at your unhealthy weight, into one that flushes the extra pounds from your body.

If you are like most people today, you spend a lot of time, too much time, in the brainwave of beta. Beta brainwave is very important in our survival, helping us focus, reach for goals, think quickly, get excited, be social, and have energy.

It would be all good, if you also incorporated alpha and theta brainwaves into the mix to help you process your day, relax, and heal.

But you don’t, and before you know it, you are producing way too many beta brainwaves and your brain starts releasing high levels of the stress hormone, cortisol. In normal levels, cortisol regulates blood sugar. In excessive levels, it blocks you from losing weight.

How Excessive Cortisol Makes You Fat

Blood sugar levels rise in response to stress and the release of the hormone cortisol.
The unused glucose ends up being stored as fat-around your abdomen.
Your muscles and skin loosen under exposure to cortisol.
It influences food consumption, causing you to crave fattier, sugary foods.
It increases your appetite.
It enlarges the fat cells that you already have, especially around your abdomen.
Causes your body to ignore the function of insulin making it insulin resistant, raising your blood sugar level and not burning fat that is already there.
Long term exposure to cortisol disrupts your metabolism.
Cortisol won’t release abdominal fat.

How Changing Your Brainwave Frequency Can Be A New Way To Lose Weight

Blocks the over-production of cortisol resulting in stable blood sugar levels.
Releases strong levels of serotonin, which cuts out food cravings. You won’t have those salty and sweet urges that add tons of extra calories.
A specialized frequency will allow the body to release stored fat, even around the abdomen.
Will lift your mood removing the need to eat to make yourself feel happier.
You’ll rest, relax. If you don’t usually do either of these, you won’t lose weight.
High levels of serotonin makes you feel like you’ve just eaten chocolate….but you don’t have to.

Changing your brainwave frequency to stop and repair the damages of stress, namely weight gain, may just be a new way to lose weight.

Brainwave entrainment is an effective and easy way to shut off the fat switch and turn on the skinny switch.
