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.

The benefits of practising deep meditation are enormous. Apart from reducing stress and anxiety it can produce amazing effects in the body and eliminate negativity from the mind. However it usually takes a lifetime to perfect through hours of daily pratise.

What if you could gain access to a new technology that would put you into such a deep meditative state within minutes, would you be interested?

I am about to introduce you to a relatively new technology that uses Binaural Beats. This technology is cutting-edge and can bring you all the benefits that would otherwise take you 30 years to acquire! I am talking about a meditation program by Centerpointe Research Institute called Holosync. You are about to discover the origins and workings of this technology as well as the benefits and pitfalls it offers.

Unlike other binaural beats recordings Holosync is a course and not a single recording. It is possible to purchase binaural beat recordings designed for a single purpose. They come in the form of CD and each one is designed to produce just one specific state. However Holosync is very different. It is designed solely to remove negative programming from your past and free you from past traumas, bad memories, emotional issues and any negative beliefs you are still carrying internally.

Does it work?

To get a comprehensive answer to this question we are required to delve a little deeper into the technology itself and look at the foundation upon which Holosync is built. I am of course talking about Binaural Beat Technology.

It was in 1839 that Binaural Beats were first discovered by a man named Heinrich Wilhelm Dove. However it was much later, in 1973, when Gerald Oster released a paper called “Auditory Beats in the Brain”, that their use in cognitive and neurological research was discovered. These beats are in fact different specific frequencies giving to the left and right ear. The audio produced by using binaural beats can send anyone into a deep meditative state in just a few short minutes. These states are Alpha (light trance), Theta (deep trance) and Delta (dreamless sleep).

The beats are produced through a specific audio mixing technique using different frequencies for each ear. They are designed to alter the listener’s brain wave activity and they do this very effectively. You merely put on some stereo headphones, sit or lie in a comfortable position, close your eyes and allow the sounds to do their work. You don’t even have to force yourself to relax.

It has been well documented that when brainwave patterns change they cause a change in chemical reactions within the body. Such reactions in the body’s chemistry usually results in profound positive changes throughout the whole physical system. In essence binaural beats appear to have the same impact and benefits of very deep meditation. In fact the use of such technology has been shown to be almost identical to transcendental mediation. For normal people like me and you this is great news. Usually it takes the a life commitment to learn transcendental meditation. Practitioners of such deep meditative practises devote many hours everyday to perfecting the technique. You can do it in minutes. In fact entering even light states of trance can take years to learn and perfect.

The state of transcendental meditation is said to be enormously beneficial to humans. It can stimulate the creation of certain hormones needed by the body and reduce things like blood pressure and it is even said to slow down and reverse effects of the aging process. Therefore the benefits of deep meditation are immense. So if Holosync delivers the ability to enter deep meditation the benefits should be the same.

As far as Holosync goes the other major benefit, as if we needed one more, is that the state produced by the Centerpointe recordings allow you to directly access the subconscious mind.

This means that the Holosync meditation recordings can be used with any other personal development tool, like subliminal recordings, hypnosis sessions or even as an aid to visualization, with dramatic effects. Using this type of 21st Century technology means you can therefore alter limiting or negative beliefs, heal emotional issues or create new positive behaviours in a fraction of the time it would take you using conventional means and with a much higher success rate.

Here are some of the benefits of transcendental meditation:

1. Creates a deep relaxing feeling throughout the body which stays with you for hours afterwards.

2. Boosts your creativity.

3. Slows aging.

4. Removes emotional blocks, old traumas and creates profound emotional changes at an extremely deep level.

5. Eliminates Stress & anxiety.

Now with all the benefits that transcendental meditation brings, and the fact that Holosync produces the same internal states as this meditation, it would be extremely prudent to try it. The real power of the binaural beats behind the Holosync recordings is that they can be used to induce a meditative state and thus create these changes with no effort whatsoever. All that you need to do is wear stereo headphones, sit or lie down in a relaxing position, close your eyes and allow the audio to do all the work. You only need the discipline to listen to the recordings everyday!

The Binaural Beat market is filling up with manufacturer’s who offer some great titles. It is also possible to create your own with the proper software. Unfortunately, here lies the danger! You need an in-depth knowledge of brainwave patterns and their effect on the mind and body in order to create the correct frequencies. There are several forum postings that state the improper use of binaural beat technologies has created negative and even damaging results on some people. For this reason I would not recommend creating your own binaural recordings. Likewise, you should be very careful about where you get your recordings. Seek professional, qualified people who know what they are doing so that you know you are getting a quality product.

Holosync, and the Centerpointe Research Institute, were created in 1989 by Bill Harris, who is a Certified Trainer of Neuro Linguistic Programming and is trained in Ericksonian Hypnosis. He has studied contemporary psychology, quantum mechanical physics, the evolution of non-linear systems and the effects of a wide range of neuro-technologies on human behavioural change, evolution and healing. There are many personal development and self improvement coaches who endorse and personally use the Holosync Solution. You may recognise two of them – James Ray from the movie The Secret and Jack Canfield, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul.

The downside of the Holosync technology is that you need to listen to it everyday to get maximum benefit and it also comes in stages as a course. However, Bill Harris insists that you do not need to continue using it and can stop after each stage of the course is complete while permanently retaining all the changes you’ve made. You can of course continue and go deeper into the ‘meditations’ if you wish. The Holosync solution, by Centerpointe, does create deep states akin to meditation and it does remove emotional traumas that are hidden deep in the subconscious mind. In fact it does exactly what it says it will do.
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.

The benefits of power nap are largely accepted in the personal growth community. They reenergize you in a short amount of time and make you feel great. Many scientific studies have also demonstrated an increase in short term memory (working memory) and alertness. To enjoy those benefits you should prepare yourself and your immediate environment to make the most of your 20 minute relaxation. In this article we will go over what can be done to your physical environment, the people surrounding you and your own mind so that you can accomplish more with your power nap.

Physical environment

You first need to find a place to rest. As for many other things in power napping, there is no definite rule. A quiet place is recommended but some people will manage to sleep in a crowded and noisy subway. If you are at home, you can either choose to go to the bedroom, or simply go to the couch. Contrary to night sleep, you do not need full darkness or a big bed as you will simply relax on your back.
At work, you can try sleeping on your chair at your desk, with you head leaning on the head rest or on your desk. The gel wrist rest that is sometimes found in front of keyboard can be used as a pillow. If this does not work for you, you should talk to your employer and request a rest room. In a few cities, relaxation centres are being opened: busy workers can go there to power nap and eat a light meal during lunch break.

Co-workers

No matter what you do, people will start asking question: where is Joe, what did he do during lunch? You can and should be upfront about it. It may take some time before they start seeing how the power nap affects on your afternoon efficiency and alertness. Until they understand by themselves, simply explain what you are doing and how your work will or has already improved because of it. Don’t forget to close the door of your office, put your office and mobile phones on voice mail, turn off email notification and leave a sign. If you are not a fire fighter, I suggest that most information can wait those 20 minutes so you will have to train persons you work with, both on-site and remotely, that you cannot be reached at all during this short period of time.

Own psychological barriers

It is possible that the most important setup is the work you will have to do on yourself. We still live in a society where sleep and relaxation and associated with laziness. People just want to accumulate hours instead of being productive and getting the work done. But if you are surrounded with smart people they will soon start to realize the benefits of a power nap far exceed the initial 20 minutes investment. After this trial period, it will become easier for you to accept that the benefits far surpass the investment. Even if some days you cannot achieve a real sleep state, having your body and mind rest during a short time will enable you to process more for the rest of the day.

How to achieve this?

All this can be achieved naturally by setting up an alarm clock for 20 minute and simply letting yourself drift away. But if you have accumulated too much tension or want to try a deeper relaxation, you can use voice guidance, relaxing music or brainwave entrainment to trigger sleep.

The benefits of meditation are wide ranging: from slowing the heart rate down to helping with concentration and memory.

But it is only in the last few decades in the West that these benefits have started to become well known. Although meditation has been around for thousands of years and has been practiced in many societies and religions across the world, it is only really since the 1960s that meditation has become popular in the West.

The Beatles and Meditation

The Beatles’ infamous visit to the Indian guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in the 60s where they learned Transcendental Meditation was one of several high profile reports about meditation and the benefits of meditation.

More and more scientific studies have been made about the benefits of meditation and more and more concrete reports have been filed on what tangible benefits meditation has on both the mind, body and spirit.

In terms of stress management a regular meditation practice is a key component of recovering from stress.

Benefits of Meditation

So what are the benefits of meditation? What are the reasons that so many people are turning to meditation to deal with anxiety and stress, and why are so many people practicing meditation across the world?

o Meditation slows down the heart rate: This helps to calm the body and relax the mind.

o Reduces oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production: Within a few minutes of starting to meditate oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production can reduce up to 20% below the normal levels.

o Raises skin resistance to pain: Meditation helps to raise the body’s resistance to pain and to electrical currents which decreases when the body is stressed or anxious. This means that if you get a knock or hurt yourself you are less likely to feel the pain or react to the pain.

o Increases muscle relaxation

o Reduction of activity in the nervous system: The branch of the nervous system (the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system) responsible for relaxing and calming you dominates when you meditate.

o Production of lactate is decreased: Lactic acid which is produced when the body’s muscles are starved of oxygen (a stitch during exercise) and when the body is in a state of stress decreases 4 times quicker while meditating than in a normal state of rest. A build up of lactate can cause fatigue in the short term and in the long term impair energy production.

o Blood circulation increases: Blood circulation increases during meditation meaning that more oxygen is able to reach your muscles – this in turn helps to prevent lactate production (lactate being produced when muscles are starved of oxygen).

o Significant effect on the brain: During meditation the brain manufactures alpha and theta brainwaves. You will spend most of your day in beta brainwaves which is important to carry out every day activities but too much can be draining. Attaining alpha and theta brain waves on a regular basis can help to improve memory, increase concentration, help you to relax, boost your energy and happiness.

Studies have shown that most children are regularly in alpha and theta brain waves (ever wondered why your children had so much energy!). As children grow up they start to move into beta brain waves states. And although this is important to get things done it is also important, no imperative, in order to keep your energy up and achieve the other benefits of meditation, to access these alpha and theta brainwaves.

o Meditation balances both parts of the brain: Recent research has shown that meditation helps to balance the logical side of the brain and the creative side of the brain. By balancing out the brain this helps to make more balanced and happy individuals.

o Meditation helps to combat depression: Regular meditation (once or twice a day for 20 minutes) helps to deal with depression, reduce hypertension and helps to relieve anxiety and migraines.

o Meditation improves concentration: Research also shows that regular meditation helps to improve your concentration, memory and creativity. Meditating while you are studying for exams can really help the information to enter into the brain.

o Meditate for better sleep: Having a regular meditation practice helps to improve sleep and the actual quality of your sleep. You will find that you will sleep more deeply and will be less prone to waking in the night. If you do wake the mind will be still so it will be easier for you to drop back off to sleep.

o Meditate before sleep to wake up feeling refreshed

The benefits of brain wave entrainment are many. The following is just a partial list of the known benefits of brain wave entrainment.

Memory, Focus and Concentration

When remembering information, brain wave patterns momentarily change from Beta to Alpha. When the transition is not smooth, there will be difficulty in remembering. Alpha is the bridge from the conscious to subconscious mind and allows memories stored in the subconscious to enter the conscious, thinking mind. When the waves are in Beta, the information will be processed and interpreted. Alpha waves improve concentration and focus. Normally, one side of the brains, either the left or right side is dominant. When in Alpha, both sides of the brain work together. During an ideal alpha state, the brain is focused, engrossed and performing at its best. An increasing capacity to learn, as well as Decrease in learning time have also been associated with theta waves.

Vitality

Alpha waves bring back the energy, enthusiasm and zest for life that young kids naturally have. Researchers have measured the brain wave patterns of young children and discovered that they spend most of their waking hours in Alpha or Theta. As they grew older their minds start producing more Beta brain waves. Without Beta, the brain cannot reason, analyze or function in everyday live. Most adults, however, spend too much time in Beta and not enough time in Alpha or Theta which causes an imbalance.

Revitalize

Waking up in Alpha means feeling refreshed, bright, alert and full of energy. It doesn’t matter how long the sleep, what’s more important is when in the sleep cycle you wake up. About 15-20 minutes after falling asleep, the brain will be mainly in Alpha. Any longer and the brain waves will shift from Alpha into Theta. When waking during the Theta or Delta part of the sleep cycle, you’re likely to feel tired and sleepy. That’s why a short nap after lunch does wonders.

Sleep

When waves slow from Beta to Alpha, the endless mind-chatter that keeps you up slows down. Since brain waves always enter Alpha just before sleep, when they slow to Alpha it is easier to fall asleep. Going to Alpha is the best way without the use of drugs, sleeping pills or alcohol to sleep at night. It is also known that when there are more theta waves evident while sleeping, adults have shorter but more restful sleep. It therefore makes more sense to use brain wave entrainment with binaural beats to fall asleep.

Health

Recent discoveries have shown a clear link between the mind and the health of the body. Research has shown the healing of tissues, wounds, cuts and diseases is sped up at slower brain waves. These slower brain wave patterns are similar to those experienced by meditating, and therefore, it’s not surprising the benefits are also similar. Improved high blood pressure, anger management, hypertension, freedom from headaches, minor pains and aches are just some of the benefits associated from regular sessions at Alpha and Theta. These waves can stimulate glands to produce needed hormones. In deeper states, the brain can naturally release serotonin and Human Growth Hormone (HGH) which slows down ageing, creating longevity. Your brain cells reset their sodium and potassium ratios when the brain is in Theta state. After an extended period in the Beta state the ratio between potassium and sodium is out of balance. This the main cause of mental fatigue. A brief period in Theta (about 5 – 15 minutes) can restore the ratio to normal resulting in mental refreshment.

Intuition

Theta and Alpha brain waves help improve intuition. Alpha is the link between the conscious and subconscious mind, while Theta is active in the subconscious and intuitive mind. If Alpha and Theta wave patterns are strong enough, it’s a lot easier for intuitive messages from your subconscious or inner mind to reach your conscious mind.

Addictions

Alcoholism and other addictions are also said to have been treated successfully with binaural beats.

The belief that certain scents can have a significant impact on the body is gaining popularity. This is no mere hearsay. There is enough evidence to substantiate this belief as certain plants and oils in them have been proven to cure certain body diseases. Healing properties have been discovered in lavender, aloe vera, ginger, and guava leaves. They have been used for burns, scratches, and body aches. Many people have embraced it, and say it outperforms the traditional form of medicine. Yes, relentless studies through the years are finally yielding fruit. Even to date, research is still under way to explore the benefits of aromatherapy and the ways people can reap from it.

In short, aromatherapy is a term that has been coined to refer to an ancient healing art that uses the therapeutic properties of natural oil to improve the physical, psychological, and emotional wellbeing. Shortly after, it was found that it also helped keep the body healthy. It is very much helpful during moments when you sense there is something wrong about your system. As you get older, you will be bombarded with an assortment of pains and ailments. With the aid of these plant oils, you can start working now towards looking and feeling young even through old age.

From the times of the earliest civilizations, ancient herbs and spices have been used for medicinal purposes. You will find the healing properties of botanicals recognized and embedded in traditional medical practices. The idea behind aromatherapy is that natural is still top. It aims at merging the mind, body, and soul. These are the basic principles of true aromatherapy. It has been proved to enhance and improve brainwave activity. Calming oils have the ability to relax your body- a condition that supports the body’s healing abilities. Nature indeed has all that you need for therapeutic purposes. Mother Nature is there to nurture and care for you and all aspects central to your survival.

Oil is derived from the plants through steam and water distillation. These natural oils emit a scent that can be diffused in the air and inhaled. It can also be absorbed throughout the body through the skin via a massage or bath soak. This eventually enhances your emotional wellbeing while stimulating your body’s systems and healing mechanisms as well. The medicinal properties in each of these plants work optimally when blended together in synergy. With the right mix, you can come up with a scent that is truly healing.

Learn by heart, that only pure, natural essential oils have all their medicinal assets uncompromised. Make sure to read the label when purchasing one. Only those with the substances in their purest form will work effectively for you. Diluted ones are not as effective. Aromatherapy is certainly an option you can count on if you want to live your life to the fullest. To lead a healthy life, you also need the right diet, exercise, and don’t forget to indulge yourself. Look for all the tips you need to live a more satisfying life as you age. Appreciate what you already have, love it, and have the benefit of a special treat every once in a while.

The beginning of a new year is not the only time that you may take stock of your habits and decide that you need to reign some of them in, but it often represents a place or a time to start.

Brainwave entrainment is a personal technological tool that helps you access specific brainwave frequencies that can break a bad habit at its source, your subconscious mind.

A habit is an often unconscious behaviour pattern, acquired by frequent repetition or a learned behavioural response, that becomes associated with a particular situation, becoming almost automatic, establishing a usual practice.

A habit provides instant reward and this is what cements it in your subconscious, and makes it so hard for you to stop.

How A Habit Forms

Over a relatively short period of time, your brain can start associating a particular response to certain cues, and develop a habit.

1. First the Trigger: A trigger, an event that sets a course of action in motion, tells your brain to go into automatic mode, to experience a reward.

2. Then the Routine: After your experience a trigger, which you may not consciously recognize, you then perform an activity that you do involuntarily or automatically.

3. And finally, the Reward: The pleasure you receive from performing an activity that you were triggered to do. This is what cements the habit into your brain. When a cue triggers a behaviour and produces a reward, this formula forms powerful neurological cravings that compel you to repeat the routine. The brain produces cravings so that it can experience the pleasure of the reward.

Breaking A Bad Habit Using Brainwave Entrainment

Before you can break a bad habit, you must become conscious, and identify its trigger and its reward. You need to become aware of what is involved in the manifestation of your habit. What is the pay off of enacting the habit’s behaviour?

Once you’ve established the pay off or reward, you can change how you respond to the triggers.

This is where brainwave entrainment can help you change your bad habit to one that is beneficial for you.

Entrainment is based on the scientific theory of the frequency following principle where by the brain changes its dominant frequency by mimicking a repeated, rhythmic sound stimulus. In other words, brainwave entrainment uses specific brainwave frequencies to alter your brainwaves to produce a certain state of consciousness.

Once the brain has accessed the frequency that houses the subconscious mind using brainwave entrainment, the place where habits are made and stored, you can implement a new habit and neurologically change how you react to the triggers that used to produce the bad habit.

Brainwave entrainment can program your mind to break a bad habit and implement a positive new habit, in its place.

Brainwave entrainment works for almost everyone. It is a great way to lead your mind into states that you might usually have difficulty reaching, allowing you to experience what those states feel like.

THE HYPE
There is a lot of marketing hype around brainwave entrainment. It is sold with promises of increasing IQ, promoting weight loss, ‘mind-tripping’, enhancing creativity, concentration, inducing spiritual states and more.

While these claims are not entirely true, they are not altogether false either. In practice, the claims are based on an overly-simplistic view of how the brain and the brainwaves function.
THE RUB
People are very seldom deficient in a certain brainwave type in all areas of their brain. Usually the distribution is much spottier, with an excess in one area and a deficiency in another.

We are all different, especially when it comes to the distribution of our brainwaves. Boosting a certain brainwave state may be beneficial for one person, and emotionally uncomfortable for another. Without knowing each person’s starting position, entrainment can be rather ‘hit and miss’.

If brainwave entrainment leaves you with unwanted side-effects (see below) or discomfort, you’re probably encouraging a range of brainwaves that are already excessive in some area of your brain. The way around this is to get a brain map to see what your brain’s strengths and weaknesses are, and see what (if any) brainwaves could use some encouragement.

Brainwave entrainment is a method to stimulate the brain into entering a specific state by using a pulsing sound, light, or electromagnetic field. The pulses elicit the brain’s ‘frequency following’ response, encouraging the brainwaves to align to the frequency of a given beat.

The basic assumption is that the brain is in control of our body, so brainwave entrainment therapy works based on this understanding. The term “Entrainment” is used in physics, and means that when two vibrating elements come together in the same phase they vibrate as a harmony. Our human brain is able to do the same.

A number of researchers are convinced, based on their neurological findings, that five different types of frequencies may aid in healing disorders and ailments related to our different body parts.

Actually, the exposure to these waves is a means to retrain our brain so that the body can tap into its healing powers. Basically, there are two ways how brain wave entrainment therapy is done, you can do it as an in- or an outpatient. If you chose to be an inpatient in a private clinic or hospital, you brain is stimulated, and the brain waves are measured. Your brain will receive positive or negative feedback which depends on the type of brain wave given to you, and your personal goals for therapy. Stimulated this way, your brain learns to produce the desired waves for healing, and restoration.

Having said that, you’ll always have to consider costs. Although it is a great technique, it is dear, and you have to check with your private health insurance if this treatment is covered.

Of course, you can always choose to be an outpatient. In this case brainwave entrainment therapy entails to listen to soothing music with two specific sounds of different frequencies in the background. The brain produces then a ‘phantom’ tone that triggers the desired brain wave. To put it simple, these waves carry a message to foster healthier behavior, and to boost your body’s healing powers.

Nowadays many are considering to make positive changes in their lives like wanting to put an end to addiction, managing adult ADD/ADHD, getting better sleep, learning to relax and destress. Interestingly enough, these people often were successful with the various brainwave entrainment therapies. The very positive thing to say about this forms of treatment is that they are non-invasive, and drug and surgery free; the outpatient version you can even do from the comfort of your own home.

Conclusion

With our hectic lifestyle, it is increasingly difficult to have a peaceful, balanced body, mind and soul that we are able to maintain for any period of time. When the five mental brainwave states that support our mental functions get out of sync, we are prone for diseases that affect the body/mind/soul unit. Only if we use brainwave entrainment ourselves, we can feel rejuvenated and healthy again.

The base chakra plays a vital role in maintaining physical and mental health. In this article we’ll take a look at the characteristics of this chakra, as well as what to do if it should get out of balance.

What Is The Base Chakra?

This chakra is the first of the seven major chakras (or energy vortices) which play such a key role in the energetic functioning of the body. It is situated at the base of the spine in the perineal area, and is also known as the root chakra, or by its Sanskrit name ‘Muladhara’.

Characteristics Of The Root Chakra

This first chakra is strongly linked with physical survival, and maintaining a sense of stability and security. It is associated with the colour red, and is symbolised by a four-petalled lotus flower. In a balanced state, this chakra promotes a sense of groundedness, as well as a strong sense of individuality. It is also linked with security-related issues such as financial prosperity.

If its healthy balance is disturbed, this may manifest as feelings of insecurity or even fear, a dulled survival instinct, as well as anger and physical problems such as back pain, knee trouble and issues with the lower digestive system.

Rebalancing & Healing The First Chakra

As well as causing specific issues of its own, an imbalanced base chakra can also have a knock-on effect on the entire energy system of the body, thus leading to further negative effects. Therefore it’s important to correct chakra imbalances as they arise, and also to take steps to ensure that a system that is in balance remains so.

Crystals can be useful in maintaining and achieving chakra balance, and in the case of the root chakra, red-coloured stones such as garnet, rhodocrosite, red jasper and rubies can be helpful, as can grey- or black-coloured stones such as hematite and black opal.

Meditation is also very beneficial for root chakra tuning, especially if you use a brainwave entrainment meditation recording which contain sounds of the appropriate frequencies to help this chakra come back into alignment.

In case you’re not already familiar with it, brainwave entrainment recordings feature rapidly repeating sounds of specific frequencies. They may be used to enter a variety of mental states with relative ease, and in the case of chakra healing, may contain a specific frequencies which are associated with healthy chakra function.

By listening to such a recording every day, or as needed, it should become easier to restore and maintain a well-tuned chakra system.

The baby boomer generation, have always been leaders, designing, developing, inventing, and spearheading the development of the products and technology we use today and know the value of staying vital. Their entire life has been about change and progress, and as they enter into the later years of their life, they continue to reject traditional values and expectations (like shutting up and lying in a corner if you’re over 50), and embrace rejuvenation and reinvention of their personal selves.

Statistics are showing that more men in the United States, Canada, and Europe are actively using products and technology to look and feel younger, in an attempt to stay viable and ahead of their successors. Men are no different then women in wanting to look healthy and youthful and recognize how it could help them in the workplace, kicking ageism in the knee.

Brainwave entrainment is one such technology that they have added to their toolkit for success.

This powerful audio and/or visual technology introduces a repeated, rhythmic pattern to the brain, manipulating brainwave frequencies, with the intention of changing the state of mind. Changing the state of mind also changes brainwaves.

Certain frequencies activate parts of the brain responsible for rejuvenation-like growing hair, reducing stress, and replenishing skin. Specialized brainwave entrainment recordings can target areas, like the revitalization of skin growth, and can be easily implemented with thirty minute sessions.

The Benefits of a Specialized Brainwave Entrainment Recording For Skin Rejuvenation

The pituitary gland is stimulated to release HGH, the human growth hormone. As we get older, we release less and less of this hormone resulting in sagging skin and muscles, wrinkled skin that lacks good tone and texture.
Low levels of HGH are the reason for again, mental imbalance, sickness and disease.
HGH boosts the immune system and rejuvenates mind, body, and spirit.
Many diseases associated by aging are stopped or reversed by the increase in HGH.
Anti-aging hormones, like HGH and Melatonin, levels are elevated.
Levels of cortisol, a very strong stress and aging hormone that puts that spare tire around your middle and gives you diabetes and heart disease, are dramatically reduced and replaced by anti-aging hormones.
Miracle healing on all levels is possible with this brainwave frequency.
There is a whole being regeneration.
DNA regeneration is stimulated.
There is an increase of endogenous opiates for pain relief and relaxation.
As a bonus, this frequency also stimulates the pituitary gland to promote hair grow and original color.

Boomer men are not just worried about looking good. It’s not just about vanity. They understand how vital it is to have and keep the edge in the workplace. Without this edge, they know they could be eliminated.

Rejuvenating their skin and mind with brainwave entrainment gives them the confidence they need to compete and excel in a world that is focused on the young.

The astral projection binaural beats allow you to achieve an out of the body state quickly and easily and have a beneficial experience. These tones work effectively to give you the ultimate conscious awareness that you can have. They can be used in general without a special need to make your life better in a number of ways.

Every human being has a physical body and a mind. The mind is also known as an astral, non-physical body. What most people find hard to grasp, however, is that the astral body can be separated from the physical one and have experiences and travel on its own. Usually, once you are in the state or trance or lucid dreaming, you enter the astral plane and your conscious awareness of yourself becomes greater. You are able to set your mind on the right level that you want to make the most out of the life and of the world you live in.

Astral projection has been known and practiced for thousands of years. It was first used by the Ancient Egyptians and then by other civilizations. In the past it was possible to get to this unique and pure spiritual state through years of study and training and hours of practicing a wide range of techniques. This was the hidden secret of the privileged few and many actually never managed to have an out of the body experience.

Today thanks to modern technology you can enjoy all the amazing benefits from an experience in the astral realm thanks to the astral projection binaural beats. These come in the form of recordings, but given their low frequencies you cannot hear them. However, your brain picks them up. The procedure is simple – two different beats are produced in your ears with the use of stereo headphones.

These two waves with different frequencies interact inside the brain and allow for the production of a brainwave the frequency of which equals the difference between the two tones. The specific binaural beats produce only brain wave with beneficial frequencies – cycles of repetition. These are the alpha theta brainwave patterns that range from 4 to 12 Hz. When your brain produces these you feel relaxed and yet fully conscious and aware of yourself in a state similar to the one experienced under hypnosis and through deep mediation.

Most people tend to be curious and yet slightly frightened about the unknown, so it is definitely worth highlighting the fact that the experiences the astral projection beats provide are perfectly relaxing and even pleasant. The use of these tones is not addictive and is not known to be harmful to the health in any way. Still, what you will experience in the astral plane is completely up to you.

The astral projection binaural beats can be used any time you like to have an out of the body travel. They are freely available on the market in a variety of forms. The binaural beats mp3 format is particularly popular since you can take the recordings anywhere with you as long as you use a portable multiplayer device.
