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.

If you have a baby-easy strategy to deeply relax that requires 1-2 minutes maximum, you can improve your long-term memory up to 40%. That’s a lot and we know three ways. So what? Relaxation releases chronic stress and even adds to your mental health and longevity.

Three Facts

1. Fact: deep relaxation helps you receive new information and improves your personal learning and memory skills. Improvement will aid your career and finances.

2. Fact: learning is based on long-term memory. Get this: learning is directly related to your attention-span. The more impulsive and anxiety-prone, the worse your attention and memory. Relaxation reduces impulsivity and stress and improves learning and memory.

3. Fact: we live our waking hours in Beta brain cycles per second – we are electrochemical beings and either awake and alert, sleeping or relaxed and daydreaming.

Inquiring Minds

For Inquiring Minds: Beta is 13-40 cycles per second, Alpha: 8-13 cps (Hz), Theta: 4-7 cycles, and Delta: ½ to 4 cycles per second.

EEG scientific research was discovered by Austrian scientist Hans Berger; he created the first working EEG (electroencephalograph) to measure human brainwave rhythms in 1908.

Who cares? What if more knowledge improves your career opportunities? It does.

The EEG measures the electricity (brainwave rhythms) operating in our brain during waking hours, sleep and light (Alpha) and deep (Theta) relaxation.

Google: Neuro-feedback for learning and memory.

In Sync (Synchronization – Simultaneously) – < L together at the same-time.

When our brain's memory neurons are relaxed – in harmony, agreement and accord – with our Theta brainwaves – you create and maintain stronger, lasting memories. You become smarter in learning and remembering.

Theta cycles per second (brainwave rhythms) occur when you are DayDreaming, drowsiness and enjoying deep relaxation.

When you close your eyes for just 20 seconds your brain shifts from Beta cycles of alert attention, to Alpha cps of not so alert concentration. Hippies used to call it an "altered state of consciousness."

Who Says So

Google: Ueli Rutishauser, California Institute of Technology, published in the journal Nature, March 2010 produced this new research.

This is a direct link between our neural networks (brain circuits) and results in human behavior. How we think and how we feel affects our behavior, our final results. Remember: Theta produces creativity, imagination and dreams.

For the first time, scientific research offers evidence that when we link memory-related neurons to Theta brainwaves (for relaxation) during learning, encoding new information (memories) is stronger and long-term. Aw, just relax and learn better.

Define Memory: specific patterns of activity across a network of neurons. Synapses are connections (links) between neurons (nerve cells). They become more active during learning.

Donald O. Hebb, Canadian neuroscientist (1905-1985) is famous for the principle that synapses are the mechanism for long-term memory. Dr. Hebb showed, "The cells that fire together, wire together." The more your use it (repetition) the better your memory becomes.

Strategy

You can sit at your desk and within two-minutes add up to 40% to your memory and learning skills for the next ninety-minutes. That is a good CBA (Cost-Benefit- Analysis) particularly before a presentation, interview or exam.

Important: attention is the fuel of memory. Add more oxygen and glucose to your mind and body and you just fill up an empty or low tank. Attention Span controls brain power in learning and memory.

Diaphragmatic Breathing

Close your eyes – the whole thing requires two-minutes – and slowly deeply inhale from your diaphragm. You got it right when your stomach slowly expands. Count one-one-thousand, two-one-thousand, three-one-thousand. Now hold the breath for a three-count, and exhale (eyes closed) slowly for another three-count.

Repeat this breathing pattern twice more. Now drop your shoulders and feel lightness in your toes. Use your imagination to see and feel your feet, legs and lower half of your body. Change your mental imagery to release all the existing stress.

Consciously S-M-I-L-E.

Create a smile on your face by raising the sides of your mouth, and crinkle (crow's feet) the sides of each eye. It is critical you maintain this forced smile for 20 seconds because it triggers a relaxed state of mind.

Inquiring Minds: Google – Zygomatic Major (draws the angle of the mouth), Risorius muscle – raises the corner of mouth for smiling, and Orbicularis Oculi – creates Crow's Feet at the sides of the eyes.

Eyes still closed, create a mental movie of the upper half of your body. See a relaxation of the six muscles (extraocular muscles) in each eye. Feel your neck muscles, tendons and ligament release their stress as you exercise your will power.

Mopping Up

Slowly breathe and consciously feel the oxygen entering your lungs. Mentally visualize yourself at the beach on a summer weekend, stretched out in the sun. Smile and feel the warmth of the sun on your body as your mind releases all stress and tension.

The two-minutes are up and your mind and body are rejuvenated. See ya.
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.

If you feel tired while reading this short article, it is already happening to you…

An estimated 100+ million Americans have occasional sleep problems, of which 40 million have so-called “sleep disorders”, and over 75% of the population is walking around deprived of sleep on a daily basis. Studies show it only is getting worse with each passing decade, and there are no signs of the situation becoming any better. In fact, over the past 5 years alone there has been a startling 33% increase in those of us reporting trouble sleeping! Can you imagine what statistics in another decade will be like? Unfortunately, it does not look like we are heading in the right direction. (You can read more statistics at the following URL: http://www.sleepfoundation.org/.)

In our busy, fast-paced society, it seems we are constantly moving, thinking, and trying to get “more” done. The first thing many of us think of doing when we do have so-called “free time” is to catch up on a little TV or do some activity that we have “not had the time to do”, aside from catching up on our sleep. And greater quality and quantity sleep is exactly what most of us really need.

Sleep studies clearly show that not receiving the quality and quantity sleep affects our lives in negative ways, sometimes greatly. It can change the way we see and experience our lives and the world around us in dramatic ways.

Some of the following can help us identify when we might not be achieving enough quality sleep each night:

Feelings of tiredness at some point throughout the day
Falling asleep within a few minutes when going to bed
Decreases in levels of intolerance and increased levels of hostility
Reduced ability to concentrate
Slowed reflexes
Impaired judgment
Apathy
Unusual weight gain or loss
Change in body temperatures that lead to feelings of chilliness
Unusual levels of anxiety
Falling asleep when inappropriate
Reduced creativity
Reduced ability to think logically or handle complex tasks
Increased levels of self-consciousness with increased levels of anxiety
If you find any of these attributes apply to you, you might want to sleep a little longer or sounder each night.

Amazingly, one of the quickest ways to improve the quality of our lives and waking hours, as the statistics show, is to simply get a better night’s sleep. It is such a simple answer to such a complex problem.

If you are having troubles falling asleep, there are things you can do that can help you very quickly. Yes, the following might seem obvious to many folks, but sometimes we miss the obvious. So, let’s cover some quick and easy ones first.

Two Things to Avoid: Caffeine and Nicotine

Reduce the levels of caffeine used throughout the day. Studies show that people who have insomnia already have a higher metabolic rate (typically 9%) than those who are sleeping normally. It would take about 4 cups of coffee to raise a normal sleepers metabolism to the same rate. From this metabolic indicator, although the person with insomnia does not feel wide awake and shows all the signs of not achieving enough sleep, we can see that a person who intakes caffeine actually on average is highly physiologically aroused. After all, caffeine is a stimulant!

The short of it…reduce the levels of caffeine intake throughout the day. Obviously, we are not going to say quit totally, even though it can help. Of course, the last thing you want to do is drink the caffeine within a few hours (three or more) before attempting to go to sleep.

List of items, both food and beverages, that may contain caffeine:

Coffee – Brewed (drip or percolated), Instant, Many so-called “decaffeinated” coffees
Tea – Brewed (drip or percolated), Instant, Many so-called “decaffeinated” coffees
Cocoa
Chocolate (Light, Dark, Baker’s, etc.): Beverage or Food This includes hot chocolate milk.
Most Sodas: Including “Diet” and “Clear” Sodas – Coke, Diet Coke, Mr. PIBB, RC Cola, Diet Pepsi, Pepsi, Canada Dry, and many others
Next, nicotine intake can have a dramatic affect on our ability to get a good night’s rest. Just like caffeine, nicotine is a stimulant. Smoking is the primary way of ingesting nicotine. Smoking can raise blood pressure, stimulate brainwave activity, and increase heart rate.

Studies have shown that smokers actually have greater difficulties falling asleep and wake more times during the night. It is possible the later is a symptom of withdrawal. And, when people have quit smoking after regularly smoking from 1 to 3 packs of cigarettes a day over at least a two year period of time, studies have clearly found it is easier to fall asleep and sleep more soundly with less awakenings at night.

Obviously people are not going to just quit smoking, as most who have the habit realize how addictive it really can be. So, maybe lessen your smoking intake and only do it a certain points during the day. Try not to have any cigarettes close to bedtime and try, like the case with caffeine, to limit your usage to several hours before bedtime, which can help greatly. If you want to quickly work toward getting a better night’s sleep and you smoke cigarettes, then to quit smoking is one of the quickest ways to help achieve your goal.

Bedroom Sleep Tips!

There are many more things we can do, to achieve a better night’s sleep, including taking a look at different aspects of our bedroom or sleep environments. Many of the following list will be subjective, so you will want to find out by focusing on a few and making small changes through time to what personally works for you.

Bed Sheets: comfort… silk may be romantic, but not always practical. Your sheets should “breathe” well.
Room Temperature: not too hot and not too cold. Some people find it easier to keep the room cold and wrap up warmly in their bed sheets. If your feet are cold… easy enough… wear socks.
Noise or Sound: the less the better, although some people might consider an underlying, constant sound to help with sleep.
Humidity: If you find your throat is scratchy/sore, your skin feels dry, or you have congested sinus passages, it might be because your room is too dry. If you feel warm, sweaty, and moist, you might want to see if there is too much humidity in the room.
Lighting: the darker the better.
Drafts: some people like a draft, while it bothers others. Keep an eye on this one for sore through or tight chest while sleeping. It might mean you have a draft in the room. If you can, open a window and let in some fresh air, as air can become stale while stagnant.
Cleanliness: Ok, simple… keep it clean. This can keep the air fresh and help with sleep.
Bed Equals Sleep: Use and associate your bed with sleeping only and not other activities. Read or do you “home” work somewhere else… not in bed. Associating the bed with something like work or even TV can keep us up at night. Associating it with relaxing activities, sleep or even sex, can help us fall asleep faster and sleep more soundly at night.
Clocks: the click-click-click of mechanical clocks, the brightness from digital clocks, or just having a clock in front of us can be a distraction. For some, the constant sound of clicking might actually be good for sleep.
Pillows and Mattresses: Take your time and find what will work for you. The new memory foam pillows, although sometimes seemingly expensive can be worth every penny. Make sure they are high quality products, high-density (approx. 5lbs. per cubic foot) memory foam, as there are a lot of cheap, lightweight memory foam pillows on the market today. With your mattress, take your time and make sure you can test run a bed at home, so you can take it back if yours does not work for you.
Biggest sleep tip of all: Take your time and BE PATIENT with yourself. See what works best for you. It’s worth the effort. Simply reading each of the above can help make you conscious of ways you might not have noticed in the past, and this will lead to improve your own life, by achieving a better night’s sleep. Take your time and be patient.
These are just a few things about our sleep context that can help us achieve a better night’s sleep and improve the quality of our lives.

As the statistics clearly show, most of us are walking around half awake every day, which means in all probability we are not living a higher quality of life we could be and other areas of our lives can suffer. Both psychical and psychological problems can arise by not achieving enough quality sleep.

Take the above tips and run with them. Take your time, be patient, and find what has helped others and how you can help yourself improve the quality of your life through a better night’s sleep. It’s time stop the growth and reverse America’s easily unnoticed sleep epidemic.

If you have any questions or comments, you are more than welcome to stop by my website: [http://www.stasispillow.com] where you can contact me, read a lot more about the topic of sleep, and even take a sleep IQ test and develop your sleep knowledge. Hope some of these tips help! They can really improve the quality of your life. I am proud to say they have helped improve my life and many others. Sleep well!

If you experience high, intense stress (distress), and normal stress, alternately, through the course of the day, your gastrointestinal system with become confused, and will start manifesting symptoms that can lead to major illness or disease. Intense stress leaves your digestive system impaired, because confused signals from the brain instruct the digestive enzymes to start digesting your gut’s lining, in addition to your food. That is why several bouts of intense stress will likely cause an ulcer.

Eliminating intense stress has a beneficial effect on the digestive system, and this can be achieved by using brainwave entrainment to change the way you process and perceive your stressors, thus affecting what kind of hormones are released into the body, changing them from detrimental to those of healing.

Brainwave entrainment is a clinically proven technology that alters the brain’s main brainwave frequency by using sound and/or light pulses. The brain, using the frequency following response physics principle, mimics whatever repeated pattern is introduced to it, immediately altering its state of consciousness. You can program the mind to stop releasing stress hormones, and then flood the body with feel good hormones that can repair any damages the digestive tract may have encountered.

Intense Stress Can Cause:

Irritable Bowel Syndrome

We can all experience a bout of irritable bowel syndrome, an almost generic name for a host of intestinal disorders like colitis-an inflammation of the lining of the large intestine in which abdominal pain is accompanied by diarrhea and/or constipation, bloating, gas, and sometimes the passing of mucus or blood-through the course of a lifetime.

IBS is

· caused by periods of intense stress. Stress is a huge trigger for IBS.

· exacerbated by stressful psychological events elevating the stress response hormone, cortisol.

· felt in the upper abdomen producing pain, constipation, gas, upset stomach, and diarrhea.

· incurable but can be managed with stress reduction, lifestyle changes, and medication.

Constipation

Constipation is a condition that makes it really difficult for you to empty your bowels, usually because your feces has hardened within the digestive tract.

· Stress can cause constipation without causing irritable bowel syndrome.

· Stress can cause upper and lower abdominal pain.

· Is easily treated with enimas and suppositories.

· Usually goes away after the stressor is gone.

Psychosomatic Pain

Psychosomatic pain is considered psychological in nature with no physical cause that can be determined.

· Stress is considered a trigger.

· Can give you stomach pain.

· Only way to treat the pain is to treat the stress.

Heartburn and/or GERD

GERD, gastroesophageal reflux disease, is a chronic condition in which the lower esophageal sphincter allows gastric acids to reflux into the esophagus, causing extreme heartburn, acid indigestion, and possible injury to the esophageal lining.

· Stress creates heartburn from stomach juices that are highly acidic. This acidity stops minerals from being absorbed and can produce osteoporosis.

· Because stress hormones inhibit beneficial microflora to grow, an overgrowth of harmful bacteria can further impair the immune system.

All of these ailments have one thing in common and that is, that intense stress affects the digestive system in a very big way.

Eliminating the symptoms of high, intense stress will have a beneficial effect on your digestive tract.

Brainwave entrainment, proven by clinical studies, is stellar in the treatment and elimination of stress.

Changing how you process stress, will change how it affects every part of your digestive system.

If you ever knew somebody who has worked at a truck transportation business, you know of the quintessential trucker’s issue that they have been eternally hot and bothered about – deadhead trips. About one in four trucks that you discover running on the country’s system of highways, run empty, with no load. They’re returning house after having gone out on a run. There’s no way they are able to get things organized and discover a load that wants to go the other way just in time. These no-load return trips waste time, money and fuel, and also the end client ends up paying for all of this. This is really a tough issue that’s been debated within the business for long enough. Finally now although, is new hope – trucking industry software program that aims to make deadhead trips a thing of the past.

The plan is really a web site known as EmptyMiles, and it is been place together by a nonprofit organization that tries its greatest to discover and get rid of sources of inefficiency within the supply chain for all client items. It is not as if it is never occurred to anybody prior to. Prior to this type of trucking industry software program, businesses have tried unorganized methods of discovering a helpful way out for an empty truck traveling back house. They just ask a few businesses that they may have looked up within the phone book or heard about off the grapevine – to see if anybody wants a truck to go back house with items. Software program to get rid of deadheads with is an efficient way of reducing emissions, and lowering costs for everybody close to.

The economy is entirely too fragile the way the country is now to permit a source of so much waste to continue. The nonprofit group VICS has produced this web site with trucking industry software program on board that may assist member businesses locate and make use of empty trucks that they are able to see on the system’s database as they require them. There’s just 1 issue that stands within the way of such a brainwave although – businesses are traditionally just a little skittish about obtaining on board with the new concept. But the savings could be phenomenal, and businesses are recognized to love those. For a business to get on board the program, it only takes just a little more than $1500 a year. Once they list themselves on EmptyMiles, not only can they place their truck up for a helpful return journey, they are able to also make use of 1 somebody else has. And also the price would be half per mile what they would pay otherwise.

For the most part, businesses that get products shipped by truck, expect to pay close to $2.50 for a journey up and down. They pay for the empty return journey too. If they could get in touch with a shipper via EmptyMiles, and get the deal carried out it could save businesses billions. It is groundbreaking, the type of outcomes that this new trucking industry software program can obtain. If this isn’t a revolution, 1 wonders what would qualify.

If you ever find yourself with any numbing sensations or lack of special function it may be time to seek out a neurologist. If you can find a full service treatment facility close to home it makes it a little bit easier to get treatment for certain neurological disorders. Where I live in San Antonio, Texas there is a great practice that specializes in the treatment of specific neurological disorders; Neurology Institute of San Antonio (NISA). They treat people suffering from Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer ‘s disease, Cervical & Lumbar Radiculopathy, Peripheral Neuropathy, Headaches, Pinched Nerves, Stroke, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Muscle Spasms/Dystonia, Parkinson’s Disease, ALS, Epilepsy, and other less known neurological disorders. In addition to the highly specialized skills of NISA, they offer a personalized attention on many levels to their patients and families.

When considering a practice for this type of care it is extremely important to know the doctors. If the practice has a website you should be able to go to the website and read about the doctors so you get the information on their experience and expertise of care. For example; Their website talks about doctors and staff and include a paragraph which states; Dr. Suzanne Gazda, a graduate of The University of Texas Health Science Center of San Antonio, NISA has become a recognized leader in the treatment of neurological treatment in the state of Texas. Dr. R. Braden Neiman is a board-certified Neurologist who recently joined the staff at NISA. This gives you some much needed comfort before you ever go to see a neurologist about your condition or disorder.

You will want to find a practice that offers a total treatment plan and a promise to provide the greatest attention to every detail. Make sure you find doctors who offer a successful collaboration of specialized skills and a uniquely personal approach that reflects a commitment to each one their unique patients.

If you can find a practice that also offers facilitates of the following neurological services then you don’t have to drive all over trying to find all the services. This can be very difficult when you have neurological issues. Nerve electrical studies (EMG/NCV) -EMG/NCV stands for electromyography/nerve conduction velocity. This may be helpful in determining the cause of neck or back pain, nerve pain, numbness or weakness. Brainwave testing (EEG) EEG stands for electroencephalography and is used to measure the brain’s electrical activity through electrodes attached to the scalp. It can help evaluate seizures, fainting or confusion spells. Deep Brain Stimulation -DBS is a surgically implanted device that can be adjusted in the office. DBS is used to help certain patients with tremor, Parkinson’s disease or involuntary movements. Vagal Nerve Stimulation -VNS is a surgically implanted device used to treat medically refractory epilepsy. Lumbar Puncture -LP or spinal tap is an ‘in office’ procedure to evaluate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It can help diagnose multiple sclerosis, infection or CSF pressure problems. Interventional Spinal Procedures -Fluoroscopy Guided Facet Injections and Fluoroscopy Guided Epidural Injections. Imaging Services including MRI, CT and traditional x-rays -MRI uses non-invasive, non-radiating methods to visualize the brain and spinal cord with great detail. CT uses low-dose radiation to evaluate certain brain and spinal cord disease.

Being able to get Ambulatory infusion therapy and Clinical trial opportunities are also a great way to get the needed medication you need as well as help with future medications and neurological drugs. Neurological disorders, big and small, can sometimes be tricky to diagnose as well as treat so finding a doctor and practice who can best help you is impetrative. Don’t wait until the symptoms are too severe to seek out medical advice and care because the advances in care have come a long way and the end is not in sight.

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.

If you ever find yourself getting in a pickle over some triviality and afterwords you feel that you should or could have responded differently then do not despair as their various ways you can change this.

But first let me ask you…

Have you ever found yourself lost in a day dream wondering where on earth you were or what just happened?

If so you would have most likely being experiencing what is known as an alpha or theta brain wave pattern. What does it mean to experience an alpha or theta brain wave pattern?

It means your brain was producing relatively slow waves of electromagnetic energy. Simply put your brain was in a more receptive and peaceful state where your sense of self in relation to space and time was altered. Hence the feeling that you were not fully present.

Everytime you go to sleep at night your brain goes into theta and lose sense of the physical realm where your awareness turns inwards to experience what we call the subtle realm. The subtle realm is the inner world where you are no longer confined to the gross physical body but instead experience the world with your subtle or etheric body.

The subtle or etheric body has different tones and qualities from your physical body; this is why you can do things in the dream state you cannot ordinarily do in your everyday waking state. One way to have greater self control is to enter the brainwave state associated with dreaming (theta) and explore it from the perspective of being awake. In other words we utilise some technique for training that specific brainwave pattern in the waking state.

This is where brainwave entrainment (BWE) technology excels!

Audio visual entrainment technology is one of the most effective ways to train this state and not only is it enjoyable and relaxing it also has cumulative benefits such as improved writing and reading capabilities, greater ability to remain focused under pressure,greater control over your emotions and reactions (the purpose of this post) which gives you the ability to make better decisions and be more effective in whatever you do.

How does it work?

Frequencies of light are introduced via the optic nerve with sound heard through both ears. Headphones and LED glasses make this possible. The light and sound pulses are synchronised and when exposed to this your brain matches the rate of the light/sound. You could say your brain changes its patterns of electrical activity according to the set frequencies of light and sound.

Your brain changes state and your mind follows!

If you imagine a strobe flashing in your eyes whilst closed and having sound pulsed through both ears, you can begin to imagine what the experience would be like.

If you blink your eyes two times every second this is the equivalent of a 2hz frequency or 2 cycles per second (cps) If you actually do this for a minute you will find your brain slowing down somewhat as 2hz is the delta frequency. Delta waves are associated with deep dreamless sleep and also deep meditation.

Training delta can be useful for deep meditation however for the purposes of accessing creative states and resourceful ways of responding it is better to focus on alpha and theta. When the brain is producing theta and alpha affirmations work more effectively and your powers of visualisation become enhanced. As well as using entrainment technology we can also take advantage of the power of association and anchor certain states when you most need them.

One way to do this is to imagine yourself inside a geometrical shape (also known as a holon) – a cube for example! You imagine yourself inside the cube while recalling the states you wish to have available to you like peace, joy serenity or love.

If you do this over time all you’ll need to do is imagine your geometrical shape and the associated state will be anchored. You can use this technique whilst using the light sound technology. Both the AV technology and the anchoring technique are effective ways to gain mastery over your state.

You can also imagine how you would normally react and then rewind that in your mind to just before you respond and see yourself behaving differently or not reacting at all.

You see yourself behaving as you’d like to!

This will allow you to take control of yourself in those situations where a different response would be more appropriate. It is important to remember we are not perfect and are doing the best we can with the information resources and awareness we have at the time.

Thanks for reading I hoped you gained something from this.

If you are interested in taking advantage of this technology I recommend the mind spa – it has been endorsed by Richard Bandler and is one of the most effective machines on the market.
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.

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.

If you eat more than 50% of your daily calories, obtained from starch and carbohydrates, in the evening and through the night, and you do this everyday, chances are that you suffer from a complex condition called Night Eating Syndrome.

Night Eating Syndrome is a combination of an eating disorder, a mood disorder, and a sleep disorder.

The ill effects of eating at night are extensive, but one way to get control back, is through the use of a specialized brainwave entrainment recording that will restore the balance of the hormones that are responsible for appetite, mood, and sleep control.

Why Eating At Night Is Bad For You

Your metabolism is very slow at night so any extra calories are converted immediately to body fat.
Is a major factor in not being able to lose weight.
Can give you cavities because you’re not likely to brush your teeth repeatedly through the night after you eat.
Causes bloat in the abdomen.
Makes you tired because the body has to work to digest the food you ate, instead of repairing the body as it does during normal sleep.
Can make it hard for you to go to sleep for the night-once you eat, your metabolism fires up making it hard to fall asleep and sleep soundly. Not sleeping well will lead to daytime fatigue, interfere with your memory and concentrating ability, and increase your hunger and appetite.
Can inflame your allergies. Any food sensitivities that you have can induce post-nasal drip.
Will give you indigestion. Digestion is slow at night, enzymes can’t properly break down the food so it remains in the stomach and produces acidity.
Too much acidity in the stomach rots the food giving you gas.
Lying down with a full stomach disrupts the gravity-associated process of digestion that moves food through your digestive tract prompting heartburn, queasiness, and gas.
Can lead to GERD, gastroesophageal reflux disease, characterized by a burning sensation behind the breastbone or middle abdomen.
When you eat at night because of a hormonal imbalance, you tend to eat carbohydrates and fats. This increases fatty acids and is related to insulin resistance and possible diabetes.
Your insulin levels will be all over the place.
You upset your body’s natural day/night cycle leading to poor quality of sleep.
Stops your body from healing. The body spends time digesting instead of healing and repairing the body.

Brainwave Entrainment Can Give You Back Control

Brainwave entrainment is a neurotechnological tool that alters your brainwaves to a specific frequency for an intended purpose. In the case of stopping night- time eating, entrainment corrects chemical imbalances in the brain that make you crave carbohydrates and fats, affects your mood, and interferes with your sleep cycle.

The over-production of cortisol, a stress hormone, is subdued, and an increase in serotonin, the feel-good hormone, melatonin, the sleep-regulator hormone, and leptin, the appetite control hormone is increased, balancing the chemical environment of the brain.

When the brain chemicals are balanced, night eating, as in the disorder, doesn’t exist.

Brainwave entrainment can help you stop eating at night and save you from ill- health.

If you desire a way to cure chronic insomnia, or if you’re just having problems sleeping which are minor, then you ought to consider using brainwave entertainment. Brainwave entertainment is quickly becoming the top remedy for people whom are having problems sleeping. The treatment is inexpensive, it’s fast acting, and it actually works for nearly all cases of chronic insomnia.

With all we know about sleeping pills and prescription sleep aids, the last thing anyone wants is to be hooked on one of them for life. Such costly medications can wreck havoc on an individuals budgeting and really puts him/her in a bind if its a serious sleeping disorder which must be CONSTANTLY kept in check. This is precisely why brainwave entertainment is becoming so popular, as it can cure chronic insomnia without that “never ending” financial drain. You buy it once and then you use each night — no monthly expenditures and no insomnia doctor visits.

Quick Note: Brainwave entertainment and sleeptrack systems can vary greatly in terms of cost. However, you should NEVER have to spend more then $100 on any such sleeptrack system. In fact, it’s safe to say that you can find one that is effective & reliable for around $60-80. Also, most of these systems will come with a money-back guarantee if it doesn’t work for you.

Think taking a pill is an easier & faster treatment for having problems sleeping? Well, you’re wrong! While swallowing a pill only takes seconds, using brainwave entertainment to help you sleep takes only but a minute, if even that.

All you have to do is insert the CD and hit play. Once that has been done, slide into bed and try to fall asleep as you normally would — you’re done! The sounds, pulses, and rhythmic beats from the CD will work their way toward you and then lull you to sleep within a matter of minutes. It sounds far-fetched, obviously, but thats the power of sound and the amazing effects it can have on the brain. Just a few minutes and your brain will be FORCED to slow down, allowing you to get to sleep fast and sleep far more soundly.

So many people are no longer having problems sleeping because of brainwave entertainment. It worked for them, why wouldn’t it work for you?

binaural headphones | alpha brain waves meditation
If you decided to submit yourself into a deep relaxation through the process of hearing binaural beats, you should realize the need to first gear yourself with a good quality binaural headset.

Binaural beats is an appealing phenomenon that happens in the human auditory system. In times when you play a couple of different tones which are somehow very close with one another in terms of their pitch in your left and right ears then the tendency is for you to attain a single pulsating sound.

Do not be skeptical in buying binaural headset in case you still doubt that the process of hearing these beats will do you any good. The truth of the matter is that many researchers studied and researched this phenomenon and they were able to establish the fact that binaural beats can for sure do something well to amazingly alter brainwaves. This is because the pulsing sound that takes place from the binaural beat will vibrate in the brain hence forcing the brainwaves to go after the same frequency. This is known as the brainwave-synchronization process commonly termed as “entrainment”.

Because the technology behind binaural beat is something that is highly supported by science, never be skeptical in buying binaural headset. Do not just settle for any kind of headset in the market because you need to get a special one to allow you to listen to stereo sound. These headsets can further give you the chance to block background noises because they cover both of your ears while at the same time allowing you to enjoy its stereo sound.

Just like the usual ones, these headsets are available in different wearing styles hence you can use it over the head or behind the neck. Use it in the manner that you like just as long as you get the thing that can give you comfort.

Although almost all binaural headsets are available with separate wires that are attached to both the speakers, there are modern over the head products which provide a single wire interface.

Headsets for binaural process are great because they offer an all-round performance and you can use them both inside the office and at your home. On the other hand, be prepared to spend a little more because they are normally available a bit more expensive compared to the monaural ones. There are even some of these that come with Bluetooth.

If you could, I want you to imagine that your mind is in a sluggish state, creeping along its evolutionary patterns with a thick and hardened shell that does not allow you to get at and benefit from the full potential of your brain. Within this sluggish form, within this hardened exterior lies a sleek and fast machine capable of enormous capability and all you need to do is to release it from its prison and sharpen your mind with binaural beats.

Before anything, let more light be shed on this binaural beats technology, which has been around, in actuality, for more than a few decades and it has only been since the explosion of the internet and world knowledge has increased that this technology has started to receive the fame it deserves. What they are in nature are auditory tones that have been artificially produced and hidden within apparent sounds.

Now, these sounds are not apparent to the human ear and there is a good reason for this, because it needs to be uninterruptedly introduced into both ears, masked in music so that the cortical is able to pick on their differing frequencies and this evoke a similar response.

Within the brain, these low frequency differences are mainly heard within the superior olivary nucleus, placed somewhere in the cortical of the brain stem. What has to be achieved is often called a frequency following response, which in simplistic terms is the reaction of the cortical to the small frequency changes which will then produce an electromagnetic explosion by the neurons.

While the popular form of the stimulus is in the audio CD, it can also be seen by the eye, and one of the more prominent examples of this is the Dreamachine. The problem with this is that although it is just as effective, there are problems when trying to evoke high frequency responses in the brain stem, which might just lead to negative side effects like photosensitive epilepsy, something that you do not need to be experiencing in the first place. So, we have established that auditory stimulation is one of the best ways to deliver binaural beats into the brain system.

Depending on the wavelength required, whether it is delta, theta, alpha, beta or even gamma, the cortical in the brain stem will then entrain the brainwaves to follow. This is how you can sharpen your mind. With binaural beats, you are able to invoke states where you are mentally acute, mentally aware, higher levels of concentration and high levels of creativity. You can achieve this by invoking the beta and alpha states, which is simply done by using brainwave entrainment technology.

So, now you are aware of this technology and the best thing about this is that you can achieve this simply by logging on the internet and getting the latest versions of binaural CD’s and ordering them online. Some sites even allow you to download engineered MP3s as well. So what are you waiting for? Sharpen your mind with binaural beats today.
