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.

Why Not Sleeping Makes You Gain Weight

When you don’t sleep at night, you are in the beta wave frequency and most likely stressed. If you are stressed, you are releasing high amounts of the hormone cortisol. Cortisol is one of the hormones that regulate your appetite. It makes you hungry and want to eat more.
When you are stressed, the brain panics and tells your body to hold onto every ounce of fat.
The less you sleep, the less calories you burn, again because of the hormone cortisol.
If you don’t sleep enough at night, the fat cells you do have, will be encouraged to get bigger.
Not getting enough sleep makes you crave sweets, calorie dense foods and salty, high carbohydrate snacks….and you’ll give in to those cravings.
Insufficient sleep raises the levels of ghrelin, a hormone that tells you to eat. This hormone boosts your appetite, increases fat production and makes your body grow….which you don’t want unless you are teenager.
Lack of sleep lowers the level of leptin, a hormone that tells you, you’ve had enough. Even if you eat, the lack of this hormone leaves you still feeling hungry.
Not getting enough sleep will have your body hanging on to the fat you already have. The high level of ghrelin in the body promotes the retention of fat.
High cortisol levels lower DHEA, a growth hormone that increases muscle mass, speeds up metabolic rate, and releases fat from fat stores for energy. In other words, cortisol, because of lack of sleep, slows down your metabolism, shrinks your muscles, and holds onto you fat.
Not sleeping depletes the brain of serotonin, a feel good hormone, which can have an effect on your appetite. Depression, anxiety, lethargy, and rage increase, and the body will seek out foods that temporarily raise serotonin, which leads to cravings, which leads to weight gain.
You eat 10% more calories after not sleeping well.

How Brainwave Entrainment Can Help You Sleep and Take Off Pounds

Specially designed brainwave entrainment recordings lower the brain’s brainwave frequency so that you can sleep.
The lower the frequency, the more likely you’ll sleep.
Low frequencies release melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep and sleep patterns. If you release melatonin at night, a side effect is the release of serotonin, the feel good hormone, during the day.
Your heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and respiration slow down. Your whole body slows down.
Muscles relax.
Cortisol levels go back to normal.
Serotonin levels also go back to normal.
Ghrelin and leptin levels go back to their proper concentration.
Blood sugar levels even out.
Cravings are eliminated
Your body uses your fat stores for energy.

Brainwave entrainment changes the messages in the brain from “let’s hold on to every ounce of fat” to “let’s burn that fat for energy.”

Getting a good night’s sleep will leave you feeling healthier, happier, and skinnier than you would be, if you pulled another all-nighter.
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.

Why Meditate?

Scientists and doctors study meditation and recommend it. Meditation is now proven to be more than just a ‘warm and fuzzy’ feeling. It works. So there are many reasons why people begin to meditate. Some learn meditation to become more relaxed, for improvement in health, to reduce stress, for clearer thinking, to become more creative, to sleep better and to improve mental strength. There are physical, emotional and spiritual Benefits of Meditation. It’s safe, it’s simple and it’s free.

People who are not familiar with meditation may consider it to be prayer or worship, but this is far from the truth. Meditation can be described as concentrated awareness, so as you overcome distractions and focus your mind on something you are becoming aware; you are meditating when you maintain a continued state of awareness. There are a wide range of disciplines taught for bringing your attention on to some object or thought or awareness. In fact what happens in the process is that meditation moves your brainwaves into an alpha state. This is a relaxed state with a level of consciousness where you are still aware. In the alpha state learning and healing are promoted.

Brainwaves Brainwaves are electrical activity emanating from the brain. There are four categories of brainwaves as shown below: Beta (alert/working): 15 to 40 hertz, Alpha (relaxed/reflecting): 9 to 14 hertz, Theta (drowsy): 5 to 8 hertz, Delta (sleep/dreaming): 3 to 4 hertz, Delta (deep dreamless sleep): 1.5 to 3 hertz *Hertz = cycles per second.

In the alpha state your brainwaves run between 9 to 14 cycles per second or hertz, compared with your normal waking state beta: of 15 to 40 hertz. Deeper states of relaxation move through theta, delta to the deepest delta, which is a highly creative state of relaxation.

In fact you are meditating when you focus on birds singing, to the exclusion of all other thoughts, or staring into the fire, just focusing on that, or concentrating on your breath coming in and out, thinking of nothing else.

Traditionally Eastern cultures have practiced meditation for centuries as part of their spiritual teachings, and until recently, say the last 30 or 40 years, Westerners viewed meditation with a bit of suspicion. Now, the benefits are so well documented and experienced by so many that it has become common practice for many doctors and health practitioners to recommend meditation as part of their healing plan.

There are two basic techniques of meditating and the different practices fall in to either of these two categories, with some variations possible. In mindfulness meditation the meditator sits in a comfortable position and focuses his attention and awareness on an object or activity; such as a candle, breathing, a visualization or a mantra, keeping an open focus and awareness of the present moment as he does so. This method allows for free flowing and observing of his thoughts while using the focus as an ‘anchor’ he constantly brings his mind back to the focus, when he starts to wander off in to different thoughts.

With concentration meditation which is used by most spiritual and religious traditions, the meditator keeps his attention on a particular object like repetition of a prayer or a mantra to minimize distractions, and continually brings his mind back to the chosen object. Lawrence LeShan defined meditation in ‘How to Meditate’ as “doing one thing at a time with your whole being”.

In some traditions both mindful and concentration meditation are combined.

It is possible to practice meditation even while walking or doing simple repetitive tasks. It is in moments when your mind is clear that you get that ‘realization’, ‘inspiration’ or ‘BFO’ (blinding flash of the obvious). “AHA” you say, as something miraculously pops in to your head.

Learn How to Meditate You can attend sessions somewhere in your city, usually free, to learn how to meditate. There are many books and tapes to help you, most of them excellent aids. It is easy and simple to learn. There are many tools to help you move into a meditative state. The one I absolutely love is the Holosync audio tapes from Centrepointe (centerpointe.com) (I don’t lightly recommend products, but this advanced Neuro technology is light years ahead of anything else I have tried and read about. I use it daily).

When you practice meditation regularly you begin to liberate the energy in your mind and the quality of your consciousness will expand. You will become more relaxed and happy, experiencing a sense of control of your life. You tend to approach life in a much more peaceful manner, not stressing in ways you might have done previously. This is not just a generalized statement, but is now being proven by empirical research.

I maintain wholeheartedly that meditation is truly beneficial. Do try it.

Why Is This Game So Different?

The Mindflex Game may be the most exciting game to come along in quite a few years. This amazing new game has nothing to do with moving pieces across a board or answering questions from your DVD player. This game is all about using your mind! While many games, video games in particular, allow you to zone out, with Mindflex, players must actually use their mind. How’s that for unique?

Are You Ready For A game That Actually Uses Your Mind?

The basic premise behind the game is fairly simple. You must move a foam ball around an obstacle course. You would think this was fairly easy, right? Well, here is where Mindflex differs from others games…you move the foam ball with only the power of your mind! By combining both your ability to relax and concentrate you move the ball through a series of obstacles that are set up on the board. This game is sure to fascinate children and, to be honest, adults too.

What Makes it Work?

You first place on the headset then you attach some clips to your earlobes. While you may think you look more like a science fiction character than game player, you are now ready to play. With everything hooked up, Mindflex reads your brainwaves. The ball responds to you as you alternately relax and focus your mind. As you become a more skilled player, you will have the ability to move the ball around the board and through the obstacle course more proficiently. You may be thinking that this seems a little out there, but this is truly a game you have to see!

Choose From 5 Different Obstacles

The game can be set up for 5 obstacle courses even one where you shoot the ball to hit a target. The pieces can also be easily changed or re-configured so you can make your own obstacles. You can play as an individual to race against the clock or play with friends and see who can get the best time. This game is recommended for children 8 years old and up.

Why is the Brain Evolution system the best brainwave MP3?

In a confident boast, the makers of the Brain Evolution System (Brain Ev as it is sometimes known as) call it the best brainwave MP3 and market it as the “most powerful self development technology on earth.”

And it’s easy to use too! When I first read the blurb it stated that to get instant energy, total relaxation and sharper, more concise thinking, all I had to do was ease into a pair of headphones and let the tracks do all the work!

Let’s talk a little more however about this 6 CD best brainwave MP3 meditation program.

Since its release back in 2006, the Brain Evolution System has been creating quite the storm of interest within the personal development field.

Like other brain entrainment programs who would also claim to be the best brainwave MP3 such as Optimindzation and the well marketed Holosync, the intended outcome is for the audio tracks to automatically lower your brainwaves to a very low operating frequency. This low frequency helps put you into a deep state of mind allowing you to experience and enjoy the amazing benefits of long term, well practiced meditation…almost instantly! Far better than the time spent by Zen monks to learn how to meditate properly!

But that’s where similarities to Brain Ev and its competitors end. Sadly, despite the marketing, ideals and technology, many of these CDs just don’t work for one reason or another. They can be incredibly boring, take huge amounts of time you just don’t have and can literally cost thousands of dollars to go through the entire program!

So I put BrainEv to the test to find out if it really is the best brainwave MP3!

I gave it a real red hot go too! For a full six weeks, I listened to it for 30 minutes a day, six days a week.

I had used Holosync before so I had an idea on the feelings and sensations I might eventually get from BrainEv but funnily enough, I must admit I really did feel “something” pretty much straight away! Practically immediate, profound effects really started to excite me…and my mind!

And it didn’t stop there either…

As I completed each session of this so claimed best brainwave MP3 I felt more in control, more focused and more relaxed.

And these feelings, while noticeable, were hard to actually pinpoint. I didn’t feel like a totally different person but I certainly did feel a kind of shift in my overall state.

Normally I would wake up sluggish even after 9 hours of sleep but even within the first week of using the Brain Evolution system I had a heap more energy overall, was waking up feeling great and yet I was only sleeping around 6 hours a night! I was also as sharp as a tack mind-wise! Whether it showed or not I’m not sure but I just seemed to feel more aware of my situations and life in general.

Now I was pretty excited with what I was seeing however my acceptance of BrainEv as the reason behind this was still lacking. After all, I am skeptical at the best of times and this process was so easy! How could it be working and could this really be the best brainwave MP3? In my heart however, I knew exactly what was behind my “evolution.”

It took a few weeks of using BrainEv but my work mates and friends started to comment about my new shift. Questions were being asked about where I was getting my energy from and I seemed much calmer than before. This recognition and external validation of how I already knew I was feeling was great. Even though what I was experiencing is hard to measure scientifically, I was pumped to realize that the people around me were noticing.

My evolutionary journey was also made all the more enjoyable thanks to the cool support from BrainEv. Helpful emails, on-line support and some nice videos reinforces that this is a modern, forward thinking company trying their absolute hardest to make good on their promise of producing the best brainwave MP3 using all the latest communication methods available.

I moved onto level 2 after 4 weeks.

This was a little bit daunting at first. After all, I had become quite accustomed to my relaxing tracks from level 1 and these new ones in level 2 seemed a tad confusing! It only took a few days however for the new sounds to become my happy place or mind-scape nirvana if you will. Like a new gym workout I could feel my brain muscle being tested and extended more than before.

A couple of weeks into level 2 now and I am definitely feeling stress free, my imagination and creativity is soaring and my brain is helping me remember much better than I used to and I seem to even actually be thinking faster!

I really can’t wait to keep going with this program and see where it takes me. I feel a bit bad because I had already classified it as probably being the same as Holosync and other brain entrainment CDs I had used previously.

But I was wrong. BrainEv is very different.

But is the Brain Evolution System the best brainwave MP3 and truly the most powerful self-development tool in the world?

I guess I can’t honestly answer that question as I have not tried every single one of them in existence! I can say however is that BrainEv surely is the most powerful and best brainwave MP3 program I’VE ever stumbled across. I think it really is a great program that smashes its competitors, delivers some amazing benefits and makes true and deep meditation accessible to everyone!

Why is sleep so important and why do so many people have sleep issues? It is said that people who sleep well tend to be happier and healthier and this certainly makes sense if you look at what happens when you don’t get enough…

Sleep is a crucial part of our ongoing physical, mental and emotional development. When we sleep we are healing our bodies and processing information. Many important rejuvenative substances are created in our brains while we sleep and sleep also plays an important role in brain development; lack of sleep can therefore greatly accelerate the aging process and seriously affect our brain’s ability to function.

This explains why when we’re tired we’re more likely to make errors of judgment, our memories don’t function as they should, learning is more difficult and, even more seriously, we can actually put our lives and the lives of others at risk: Statistics from the US say that car accidents related to sleep deprivation are responsible for more than 1,500 fatalities and 71,000 injuries per year. 10 years ago in the UK it was claimed that more than one fatality a day was caused by sleepiness (higher than alcohol related fatalities).

The latest US figures also show that around 70 million Americans experience sleep-associated problems, with almost 40 million suffering from chronic sleep disorders. These are worrying statistics.

So how much sleep should I be getting?

Everyone is different and peoples’ sleep requirements vary enormously. Some people need a good 8-10 hours (like Einstein) while others can survive quite happily on 4-6 (Edison). A newborn needs about 16 hours a day and by the age of 6 this drops to around 11. Your own normal sleep patterns should be settled by the end of your teenage years (19-20), and the average, according to scientists, seems to be somewhere between 7 and 8 hours.

Why is sleep such a big problem for so many people and what can be done about it?

Again, each person is different and poor sleep can be due to any number of problems, some being medical (allergies, coughing, arthritis, pain, menopause etc), some being emotional (anxiety, depression, Post Traumatic Stress etc) and some being due to lifestyle (excessive caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, drugs, or even TV and computer use), but probably the biggest cause, which has a direct effect on many of the above, is STRESS. Whether work related, home related or both, stress is one of the major reasons we don’t sleep, and it’s a vicious circle as the less sleep we get the more stressed we feel.

There are various sleep remedies on the market. The first to pop into many peoples’ heads are sleeping pills. Unfortunately, especially if taken over a long period of time, these can stay in the bloodstream, become addictive and tend to have rather unpleasant side-effects. Even the herbal versions can have side-effects or need to be taken long-term to be efficient.

There are also many natural remedies to be tried: drinking camomile tea, avoiding stimulants before bedtime, having a warm bath, reading a book, changing the temperature in your bedroom (low is better than high)… Unfortunately, while pleasant and relaxing, these remedies will not make long lasting changes to your sleep patterns, nor will they properly address the issue of stress.

Another extremely effective, but less known alternative is brainwave entrainment.

Brainwave entrainment has two major assets when it comes to tackling sleep problems: Firstly, it causes considerable increase in melatonin levels (melatonin is the hormone that creates restful sleep, and we make less of it as we age); Secondly, used regularly, the effects of brainwave entrainment are long-lasting. While listening to Alpha, Theta and Delta brainwave frequencies you are calming your nervous system, lowering blood pressure, releasing DHEA (anti-stress hormone) and reducing cortisol (age-accelerating hormone which affects learning and memory). Incidentally, brainwave entrainment is also great for children, and can prove very handy when your insomnia is actually caused by a smaller member of the family’s sleeping problem!

In conclusion, if you are not getting enough sleep you really should try to remedy the situation for your own good, and the good of those around you. Remember, when your brain suffers, you suffer! So whichever method you decide to go for, good luck and sleep well.

Why is hypnosis training a waste of time? One, hypnosis is the methods of the 1980s and no longer apply to a mind made more complex by complex times. The brain and how we think has changed with technology and hypnosis is no longer the answer to unlocking the brain form its shackles of stress and being exposed to an increasingly convoluted world. We need a much more advanced and more relevant answer to deal with a mind placed under grid lock most of the time.

Hypnosis is the thing of the past and their proponents are members of a dying breed. It is time to look towards much more delicate and advanced methods of mental therapy. It is simplistic, over used and glamorised by a television era that would not be able to survive in this current generation of broadcasting. Many have said that hypnosis and hypnotists are dated, and they must keep up with the times with the by words of mental and personal development running rampant within the halls of medicine and science.

Two, hypnotism has always been a blunt tool when compared to technologies like biofeedback, autogenics and brainwave entrainment. It claims to speak to the sub conscious but even when it is able to, it cannot claim to be effective in using a single dimensioned stimulus to right all the wrongs in the brain, Hypnosis claims to be able to use the power of messages and therapy to erase and rebuild a new person, but this is not a realistic approach to mental therapy and brain development.

The brain is a very complex tool filled with many layers of awareness and frequency states, Each of these different frequency states are associated with many other mental conditions and even super states. Hypnotism cannot hope to match up to more exact science, using intricate tools to dive into the minds sub structure, pick it apart and remove what is unwanted.

Three, hypnosis has no measurables nor does it have any proven statistics. Apart from some urban legends about its use to solve crimes and some TV shows where people behave like idiots, there is no real evidence to suggest that hypnosis is truly effective in what it does. No one can lay claim to the effects of hypnosis and there is no way to measure it. It is quite easy to see why hypnosis training is a waste of time because there is so many more exact methods out there that give you detailed research, numbers you can rely on and a medium which is both safe to use and affordable to anybody. Why go for expensive training for a skill that will never be used when you can purchase subliminal CDs and brain wave entrainment CDs.

There are so many more reasons why hypnosis training is not the answer to you and all the validation you need is to research on the effects of new technology and how it is helping thousands of people all over the world.

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.

Why Hypnosis?

The evolution of hypnotherapy came like a divine intervention to the world of Alternative Therapy. Its widespread popularity is no wonder since it works like magic in healing several chronic diseases with amazing pace. People all over the world are all praise to the effectiveness of Hypnotherapy, and it is now a thriving practice among therapists. Hypnotherapy lets people get rid of those annoying discomforts which individually or collectively disturb every aspect of their life. These notorious legends are smoking, obesity, insomnia, phobias etc. People have grappled their lives out to take them down, but what they see often, is their motivation getting thrashed by void results. This is where Hypnotherapy comes for us as an incredible solution. It cures with assurance and most importantly, it is painless and doesn’t require you to take pills.

If one is interested in some brief insights to why people should look at Hypnotherapy as a dependable treatment, the best one to start with would be smoking. There are other options available for smokers who want to quit the habit. Nicotine Patch and Nicotine gums fall among them. But Hypnotherapy in this business stands out as the success rate is almost double than of those mentioned previously. Multiple studies point out that the success rate is as high as 66%. Moreover, unlike other options, Hypnotherapy pulls out smoking habit from the roots, since it reduces all the factors producing the urge to smoke. It changes the attitudes and belief towards smoking, which, in turn, helps you leave the habit from inside.

Obesity has been troubling people since decades. It basically comes from unhealthy diet or overeating. These are nothing but outcomes of the emotions attached to eating. People make conscious efforts like dieting or exercising, but they often become detrimental to your health. What’s more important is that conscious efforts can not compete with the subconscious mind which control our emotions, which are difficult to change. Hypnotherapy is the only way to get access to the subconscious part of our mind and induce positive behavioral changes in that. This procedure changes the unhealthy reactions and emotions producing the habit of overeating by and reduces the excessive urge.

Stress and Phobia, both of these originate from unwanted conditions or experiences. Stress can be effectively tackled by hypnotherapy in two ways. First, during hypnosis a person is taken to a state of deep relaxation which itself is a solution to stress. Second, by hypnotherapy, a person can achieve certain lifestyle changes and reduce the sources of stress to ineffective ones. Phobia, on the other hand, is treated by eliminating the fear from the memory. All this is made possible by speaking to your inner subconscious mind, and there is no need to change your bodily functions by the use of medicines and other therapies.

Insomnia has long lasting effects which come from anxiety, worry, fears, angers and other emotional conflicts. A person feels worried whether he would be able to sleep at night or not. If he is not able to sleep, the next day he becomes even more worried about the same problem. This way the problem perpetuates and a solution looks far from being possible. Hypnotherapy manages and reforms the alignments to certain brainwaves activities. All the disorders producing anxiety, worry, fears etc are addressed and the mind becomes more composed. The result is imminent and comes without further worries generally associated with implementing other therapies.

By these simple conceptual briefings there is no confusion that Hypnotherapy gets the higher ranks in so many cases where other practices fail to do any better. It is the inner power of your subconscious mind that is utilized. Your brain is the governor which directs you to adapt behaviors raising the motive from inside. The approach is different and far simpler from those taken by conventional methods. It comes with less or no harm of side effects. And you are assured wonderful changes.

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.

Why download binaural beats? The reason is simple, especially if you are the type of person that is constantly on a quest for self growth and self improvement. If this is you, these downloads can be extremely effective and they come at an extremely reasonable cost.

Binaural beats at a glance:

They are auditory frequencies that are used to induce different brainwave responses (or an altered state of consciousness) that occur when presented with two somewhat different tonal changes. These downloads need to be listened to with headphones to achieve the maximum benefit.

How can this help my quest for self growth?

They are excellent for block the things that impede our continued growth. For example they can be extremely effective in blocking our inward causes of anxiety and depression.

For those on a weight loss or weight maintenance quest, they can help block out all of our sub conscious negative feelings and thought about weight, health, and weight loss. Once you block out the negative sub conscious thoughts toward health and weight loss, shedding pounds becomes much easier.

If you tend to feel lackluster and are often low on energy, binaural beats can help awaken both your mind and body so that you can accomplish and flourish.

They can be very effective in many other areas of our lives. For example, this sort of meditation can help by improving your sleep, improving your memory, enhancing your motivation, improving your ability to relax in a deep and productive way, and so much more.

As previously mentioned, these binaural downloads come at a very reasonable price, so go ahead and give it a try.

Why do you worry so much?

Worry is a nag. It works hard to make you feel uneasy and troubled. It harasses you until you are weighted down with distress.

And most of the time, it’s totally useless.

It only hurts you.

Unrelenting fears and doubts paralyze you, suck the very life out of you, all of which have no redeeming value in your life.

Signs Worrying Is Getting The Best Of You

You can’t stop thinking about what appears to be a problem, causing you great anxiety.
Your mind goes over and over every detail, trying to find a solution.
You worry on top of worry, that you’ll overlook an answer.
You think if you keep going over it, whatever it is you are worried about, won’t be so frightening.
Your mind plays a game of what if? with you…changing the facts and the scenario.
Worrying releases stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline in excess.
Stress hormones flood the body and start changing your well-being.
You start eating for comfort to take away some of the worry. Unfortunately, you will be eating foods high in carbohydrates and will throw your blood sugars off. You’ll be hungry no matter how much you eat. The more worried you are, the more you may eat.
Anxious thoughts are fueled by what you believe to be true, not necessarily by what is true.
You see no solution to the trigger of your worry.
You feel that worrying protects you, so it perpetuates itself, over and over again.
You may get irritable with others because they can’t see why it’s important for you to keep thinking things out.
You may become impatient for the outcome.
Worrying affects your sleep. You’ll either be sleeping too much or not at all.
You may use worry as a reason to be irresponsible with other areas of your life. You’re just too busy worrying to do what you need to do like be in a relationship or take care of your bills.
Your stomach acts up and if you already have something like irritable bowel syndrome, it will feel worse when you are in a state of worry.
You’ll feel out of control, unless you are worrying. You may feel that if you don’t worry, something even worse than the problem, will happen.
You may experience depression because you can’t see your way through the problem.
You spend too much time in your head.

You’ve got to stop worrying, you know that, but focusing on the fact that you need to stop worrying, only reinforces your anxious thoughts.

Brainwave entrainment can release you from your stuck thought patterns, by changing your brainwave frequency. Once out of that frequency, your mind will be better able to process your worry, from a different perspective, and the anxiety about it will diminish. From this new place, you will be better able to come up with solutions. You will be able to ask yourself if there is anything you can do to solve your problem, and if there isn’t, come to accept it and detach.

If there is a solution, you’ll come up with one.

If the problem is bogus, you’ll see that too.

You don’t have to worry so much about things. Most of what you worry about isn’t even real.

Worrying makes you old.

Stop worrying so much.

WHY DO WE DREAM ANYWAY?

Some of the most prevalent observations have been that we require this mysterious sleep experience in order to maintain a certain level of mental and emotional balance.

The nonsensical, fragmentary dreams usually seen during the dozing off/non-REM stage serve as a recording or saving device for the important information/experiences received during the previous waking hours – while this sleep process also removes from our outer consciousness the previous days’ events – which we don’t need to keep so readily available in our minds, and stores it away in the sub or inner consciousness. However, as when working with a computer, we can sometimes ‘undo delete’ when necessary, with the help of a skilled operator or mind technician such as a hypnotherapist or past life regressionist, 9 or by the being relaxing well enough and observing certain mind training techniques which may allow certain images or memories to come forth and return to the surface for recall. This hidden data will also re-surface in your dreams at times, when necessary.

Dreams relate to balance and imbalance in our emotional life – commenting on and making corrections regarding our conscious, waking state of awareness in a symbolic language which can be interpreted. Those skilled in psychoanalysis can examine dreams and the events which dreams allow us to experience in order to detect much about character, motives, and the state of mental/emotional health of the dreamer… when we would ordinarily in waking life go out of our way to avoid these matters.

THE IMPORTANCE OF DREAMS

Dreams arising from a clear mind, without tensions, concentrated with an intention of finding a solution to a problem; be it in a sleepful or wakeful state, have contributed greatly to technological, cultural, religious and spiritual progress of man-kind. To have concern about deciphering one’s dreams is one path to being actively involved in one’s self-realization, self-improvement and evolution. Beings on this earth plane of awareness are embarking on a journey of self-discovery – in order to recognize and return to the Source. This journey is open to pathways which lead to higher awareness & consciousness which is attuned to solving problems and dissolving obstructions to progressing on the path, to assist with balancing the energies of problems created. Considering dreams for such purposes is a new idea to many however, dream utilization in this manner has been practiced in ancient civilizations all over the world.

While non-dreaming periods of sleep (NREM) are very important for maintaining ones’ physical health – dream periods of sleep (REM) are very important for ones’ psychological/mental health. This is also one reason why dreams often seem so ‘real’, leaving a big impression, and having an obvious sense of importance to us that we often cannot consciously identify… they often are important and carry vital messages which are important for our psychological health and well-being. Dreams also feel so real due to dreams actually being a state of mind similar to the wakeful states of being… this having been determined by decades of scientific dream research showing similar EEG activity (EEG is an Electroencephalograph used for the recording of electrical activity/brainwaves, along the scalp which are produced by the transmission of nerve impulses within the brain.)

As we fall asleep from stage one and onward, our sense of the outer world progressively diminishes, and our sense of the inner world and the cosmos increases. It is different planes of awareness – and the objective, external world is not any more real than the other dimensions of being; in fact it is illusory according to the spiritual teachings of the east. This raises the question as to what exactly can be labeled “real”… Reality really can not be determined by our limited views and levels of awareness of what is real, in reality, really!

How does one determine which dreams should be taken seriously and/or studied carefully? One way is to know the different reasons for having the dreams we have; that is, what are the various causes of dream dramas played out within our minds as directed by our greater and/or inner consciousness. If you know that you just had a dream of being strangled to death -only due to your scarf you were too tired to remove being awkwardly wrapped around your neck tight enough to cause you difficulties in breathing while you were asleep, then you can rest at ease upon waking from the dream, knowing that it was not real and it was not a terrible precognitive dream; it was an immediate warning. You may be eternally grateful to the dream consciousness for using such imagery and symbolism to save you from leaving in such a ridiculous manner.

Another way to determine which dreams should be paid attention to more so than others is by the feeling one has after the dream. Often important dreams leave one with a feeling of awe and wonderment… or a feeling of wanting to know what the dream signifies. At other times we intuitively know that the dream is a premonition, or an answer to a question we had in mind, etc. There is an account of a woman who awoke at 2:30 AM of a terrible dream one night:

A large chandelier which hung over their baby’s crib in the next room, fell into the crib and crushed the baby. The clock in the dream read 4:35 AM, and there was a violent storm outside. The woman woke her husband up to tell him the dream and he laughed saying it was silly, and advised her to go back to sleep. Out of her love & concern for the baby; due to the dream feeling so terribly real, she took the baby out of it’s bed and brought the young one to bed with her. The woman started feeling foolish, as she mentally noted that the weather outside was calm- not stormy as in the dream… until two hours later when she and her husband were awakened by a large crashing sound – of the chandelier falling directly into the crib. The woman notes that the clock on the dresser, just as in the dream, read 4:35 AM, and that the weather had changed to a severe storm. And this time her husband did not laugh. This is an example of a dream where the dreamer KNOWS…

Usually deciphering dreams requires disciplined attention and time to analyze them fully and accurately.

Therefore the key to dreams are:

(1) understanding the different types of dreams we have, as well as
(2) learning how to decipher dreams
(3) working with and utilizing your dreams in a practical and beneficial way.
