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.

Years ago, I played in a Friday night all girls poker game. Naturally, the radio played non-stop Top 40 tunes. And, all of my opponents talked in their obvious ‘a guy is around’ girl talk. It was absolutely the most fun I have ever had playing poker. Except for one problem, I never won. I guess that is why they kept inviting me back. I really was trying to win. Really. But, what guy can think about poker while surrounded by all of those distractions?

Whether we are at home or in the casino, the poker scene is usually the same. One distraction after another. In fact, most of our lives are spent in a state of distraction. I am distracted right now. Let’s see: I am writing this article, worrying about my email backlog, thinking about bills to pay and errands to run, there is some loud noise outside, and I am munching on a snack while the coffee is brewing. My mind is literally awhirl with all sorts of unrelated thoughts competing for center stage.

In this age of multitasking, one might think that they are being more productive when they tackle several tasks at once. But more than likely, they are not. Even today, the human brain is still only capable of thinking about one thing at a time. Should I repeat? Your mind can focus on only one thing at a time. If your thinking is scattered, then you are ultimately less productive.

When we are in our usual wide awake, active mental state, known as Beta, we are typically in a state of continuous distraction. This is also, usually, the state of mind we are in when we play poker. See the problem?

The cocktail waitress, the TV, the dog, the loudmouth – they really are not conducive to achieving peak mental poker performance. After all, poker is a mental sport. So, how can we possibly maintain the level of focus required for peak mental performance with all of those distractions bombarding us?

If you were tied for first place in the last leg of a marathon, none of those kinds of distractive thoughts would be allowed to enter your mind. If they did, you would not be tied for first for long. Why then, do we allow distractions to enter our minds at the poker table? Perhaps, there is a real simple answer – we do not know how to block them out. There are many methods for blocking distraction in order to achieve focused concentration. This article is about one called brainwave entrainment music.

Ideally, If we could induce the right amount or mix of Alpha (intuitive), or Theta (relaxed) brainwaves while we play poker, then we could block the distractions. Because, these are the brainwave states of higher concentration. We all know the importance of playing while relaxed, playing intuitively, and maintaining focus. Don’t we wish we could summon and maintain this state of mind every time we play poker?

Some music, especially that with lyrics, can be terribly distracting. While, some music can actually induce concentration. The right music can do wonders for your poker game. If you are unfamiliar with the role that music can play in concentration, then hang on. This could be as big an eye opener for you as it was for me.

Everyone is unique, so I am not going to attempt to lay down a preferred, standard music list. And, even though this is a discussion about what works for me, we all appreciate that everyones’ brains are each wired differently. So, what works for me may not work for you, and vice versa. But, this information will give you something new to think about.

The most successful forms of music for me are a few Classical, and a few New Age selections. They remarkably improve my concentration while playing poker. I have loaded the respective CD’s unto my MP3, and play them continuously during a game, online or offline. Several of the New Age selections are designed by their composers to induce certain mental states, such as increased creativity, or relaxation, or focused concentration. The process of inducing these mental states is known as brainwave entrainment.

The best brainwave entrainment effect is obtained by listening with a headset. Distractions will tend to fade away, ushering in a much desired state of focused concentration. Load your MP3 and you can use this type of music while playing live or on-line. For an effective mental prep, I will even listen while driving to a game. Then, when I arrive at the game, my poker mind is ready for ignition.

Awhile back, I played a lot of limit hold’em in a casino. My standards for play and bankroll management were rigid. This required a great deal of concentration, especially with some sessions lasting ten hours and longer. Distractions simply could not be permitted, but it was near impossible to maintain the level of focus that was needed.

Then, I discovered brainwave entrainment music. My MP3 was loaded and played my favorite selections continuously, hour after hour. I quickly learned to carry lots of extra batteries in my pocket. In the months to follow, the dealers came to know me well. They began to call me the player who never lost.

The effect of brainwave entrainment music on my concentration is simply amazing. There is no other technique that I can employ, while actually playing, that helps as well to achieve and maintain my ‘A’ game. I am certain that you will have the same experience.
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.

Wouldn’t you like your subconscious mind power to bring you all the benefits you hear about in the tape sets you buy?

And it’s easy to make progress, but easy to slide back at the same time, isn’t it?

Here are 5 techniques – very simple and very practical – that will double the effectiveness of your mind power practices.

1. Put yourself in a true alpha state when you do your visualization.

The alpha state, or when your brain is running at about 7 to 14 cycles per second, is your bridge between your conscious and subconscious mind. It’s when you’re in this state that your suggestions will most readily be accepted by your subconscious.

Yes, you can simply close your eyes and imagine. And stimulating your visual cortex with your eyes closed will likely put you in an alpha state temporarily. But to really access alpha on a sustained basis use a meditation technique like Jose Silva’s mind control or a brainwave entrainment CD.

2. Now that you’re in alpha – do full sensory visualizations.

Visualization is a bit of a misnomer. You’re visualizing but you’re also feeling the sensations and the emotions. You’re literally training your brain how best to respond in life situations.

Remember that visualization techniques came out of work in training athletes. Cyclists, for example would run through their next event in the minds. And they would perform better in the race.

But they didn’t just close their eyes and repeat affirmations. They were seated on stationary bikes, imagining the circuit and honing their responses while cranking away on the pedals. They were rehearsing as realistically as possible. That’s what you need to do.

3. Use your outward vision as well.

40% of your brain is given over to handling visual stimulus. Use note cards that have explicit descriptions of what you want.

4. Be positive and detailed.

Your subconscious mind alerts you to possibilities and warns you when you’re off track. But it’s only as good as the instructions you give. Let me give you an example out of my own life.

Before I bought my first house I visualized what I wanted and wrote it down in detail. At the time, I didn’t like the look of stereo equipment, it was cold and black and had wires everywhere. So I wrote down that I wanted some place to put my stereo equipment out of the way. I committed the list to my subconscious and put the paper away.

A year later, when I was in my new home, I found the paper (I had totally forgotten it). I laughed because my new house had shelving on a pulley system, it dropped down into the floor to reveal…my stereo equipment in a hidden cupboard.

I had totally forgotten I wanted that. And I’ve never seen another house that had it.

Say what you want, and be detailed, and your subconscious will be on the lookout for it.

Wouldn’t you like to master your mind, to use mind power to bring your dreams into your waking reality?

That’s the promise of mind power.

Of course, for mind power to deliver on it’s promise, there has to be some connection, a bridge between dream states, or the subconscious mind, and waking states, or the conscious mind.

And there is.

It’s called the Alpha state. You may know that your brain is an electrochemical organ, always generating small electric charges that can be graphed. And that you produce different wavelengths of energy depending on the state the brain is in.

If you’re waking and engaged, reading a book before bed for example, you’re in a beta state. Once you’re dreaming, you’re in theta state. And the state in between, the bridge that connects to the two? That’s Alpha – it’s that state when your brain is cycling at about 7 to 14 cycles per second, the state you fall into just after you turn off the light, close your eyes, and settle in.

What’s so special about the Alpha state?

It’s when you’re most relaxed, when you have the greatest concentration, and when you have the most focus. Recall those times you were most productive, when you were “in the zone”. That zone, was likely an alpha state. That’s where you can increase your mind power.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could put yourself in an Alpha state at will?

You can. The trick is to stay in the alpha state without rousing yourself to the full waking beta state or falling asleep into the theta state. And you can do that too.

The most common way to put yourself in this state is to meditate. To try this quickly without studying meditation, try Jose Silva’s Mind Control method (a well-established method of getting to the alpha state). Imagine yourself in an elevator, slowly dropping from the hundredth floor of a tall building to the basement – and count each floor to yourself as you pass it. By the time you’re at the bottom, you’ll find yourself very relaxed.

A reliable way to get to alpha and stay awake is by using a brainwave entrainment program, usually a CD that sends slightly different frequencies of sound to each ear.

Once you’re in the alpha state, you’re bridging the conscious and unconscious minds – a great state for you to suggest what you’d like to your unconscious. If you’ve had trouble with visualization in the past, this may be the missing link for you, this open conduit between minds.

Whatever goal you’re after, do this. Put your mind in an alpha state, and use the time to program your subconscious with the feelings and images you seek..

Wouldn’t you just love to write a truly incredible wedding speech, that’s going to be remembered for a very, very long time?

So what’s next?…

I know…

You’re at the stage where you’ve been given the honour of being asked to make a wedding speech, and while you won’t want to let anyone down, you don’t know what to do or where to go.

Every speech writer faces the obvious and inevitable question: What am I going to say in my speech? For anyone aspiring/contemplating to be a successful speech writer, the tips that follow may be give you an idea of where to start and prove useful to you.

You may have some basic ideas, but haven’t quite had that ‘light bulb’ or Eureka brainwave moment that’s written your speech for you. Alternatively, you may be just too busy with work or your mind may be completely blank, but you’d dearly love and really want to deliver a powerful speech in front of friends and family and avoid embarrassment.

You’ve had a couple of great speech ideas nestling in the back of your mind. You may even have thought that they were the foundations of a truly inspirational speech. You yearn for the thrill of expressing yourself in front of friends and family. Yet you’ve not done anything about it! And you keep postponing it until the big wedding day is almost upon you.

So what’s next? You need to make the decision to take MASSIVE ACTION and move forward with your speech. Most people only do this once in a lifetime – so you need to make the most of it.

The key isn’t just about the speech, but it’s the whole package, from preparation and planning, having a positive attitude to life, mental rehearsal, practice, and finally delivery.

Have you ever admired those successful people who can give a speech, and seem to ooze with self confidence and charisma and ‘have it all’?
If you don’t see yourself as the world’s greatest orator or speech giver, don’t worry, help is on hand. Conventional wisdom has made us believe that only successful, wealthy, extrovert people make the best speeches. Rubbish! The truth is that conventional wisdom should be discarded. It’s just not accurate. All sorts of people can make fantastic speeches.

You may believe that making a great speech requires an alchemist’s formula reserved for the genius. Well, here’s the good news, it doesn’t!

The thing to understand is that there is no universal template and no one set of common characteristics to give an awe-inspiring speech. at the core, you must have a passion for the ideas behind the speech. If the ideas don’t turn you on, you’ll find it very hard to motivate yourself to do the speech.

Passion, in short, is what should be the basis of your speech. And anyone can find something they are passionate about.
For example, think about events in your life, difficult times in the families history, fun times you’ve had with bride or groom, embarrassing or risque moments.

Write these ideas down, and use these as the basis for the next step in Wedding Speech Ideas (Part 2)

Wouldn’t it be great if we could use “sounds” to make us feel the way we want to feel? It would be sort of like tuning a radio. If we could feel more calm or focused by putting on a pair of headphones, we MAY well be able to supplement or even replace medication or traditional therapy.

There is a lot of evidence to support the theory that our thought processes, what is going on in our minds at any given time, determine not only our moods, but our personalities and behavior as well. Most people would agree that our thought processes are largely governed by how each of us sees the world. Our “world models” are made up of a large combination of experiences and beliefs, which in turn are influenced by how we experience the world. A huge part of that experience comes from the data our senses take in, what we see, hear, feel, smell and taste.

Breaking things down a bit more, it could be said that the sounds we hear strongly influence our world models, and by that, our personalities, mood and behavior.

It turns out that now it IS possible to use audio to direct our brains toward just about any mood or emotion we want. This isn’t about hypnosis inductions or affirmations, but something called “binaural beats” listened to through headphones. Our brainwave frequencies are known to be associated with certain states of mind. For example, alpha waves (8-14 cycles-per-second, or “hertz”) are associated with relaxation; beta waves (14-30 hertz) correlate with focus and alertness, etc.

Now if we listen to two different sine-wave tones, one in each ear, our brains (not our ears) hear the mathematical difference between the two. For instance, if a 200 hertz sine wave is playing on one side, and a 210 hertz tone is playing on the other, your brain will “hear” a rhythm of 10 hertz. This rhythm is referred to as “binaural beats.” Now when your brain listens to binaural beats at a specific frequency, its brainwaves tend to synchronize to the same frequency. So listening to alpha binauaral beats (say, 10 beats per second) will tend to cause your brainwaves to play along at the same frequency. So since brainwaves in the alpha range are associated with relaxation, that means listening to alpha bianaural beats will tend to make you relax. How cool is that? The same is true for the effects of beats in the other zones.

Now before you rush out and buy CDs or mp3s of binaural programs, you should realize something important. You need to listen to these programs in headphones! If you just play them on speakers, the two separate tones needed to cause your brain to hear binaural beats won’t be separate any more. No binaural beats, no synchronization of brainwaves. I once sat in a medical waiting room that was playing some music over their room speakers very quietly. The receptionist slyly told me the music was “subliminal,” and would cause the people in the waiting room to relax. I picked up the CD case and saw that it was music encoded with alpha binaural beats. But it wasn’t going to work any better than any “regular” music in the relaxation department. The receptionist was a bit disappointed when I showed him the text on the CD case saying the effect would only work if listened to over the headphones. This is important for you to know if you want to explore the effects of the binaural beats.

If you would like to learn how to create your own binaural beats using your own computer, visit Home Brew Audio on the web, or do a search for “Binaural Brainwave Entrainment.”

Good luck!

binaural beats meditation | learn to meditate
Wouldn’t it be great if we could dream precisely what we want to dream, experience our dreams colorfully and vividly, and be in control of their progression and outcome? Actually, there is a way to do this. It is a phenomenon called lucid dreaming, and you may be surprised to know that learning to control our dreams and experience them vividly is easier than you might have imagined!

Our states of dreaming and sleeping are all associated with various frequencies of the brain. The alpha frequency is a waking state of pre-sleep drowsiness and deep relaxation. The delta frequency is associated with deep, dreamless sleep. And the theta frequency is where REM sleep and dreaming occur.

When we fall asleep, we first enter into the delta state, where we experience sound, dreamless sleep. We then enter into the theta state, where we experience REM sleep and begin dreaming.

How does lucid dreaming happen? Once we have reached the theta frequency, lucid dreaming occurs when our subconscious momentarily falls back into the alpha frequency, and then falls immediately back into the theta state. This brainwave pattern results in lucid dreaming, which enables us to be awake and aware and in control — while dreaming!

Now that we know how lucid dreaming works, how do we actually achieve this experience? One highly effective way to induce the experience of lucid dreaming is by using binaural beats.

Binaural beats are the result of two slightly different audio waves being heard separately by the left and right ear (such as through a pair of headphones) in a manner that encourages the neurophysiology to generate a specific unified brain wave pattern.

Binaural beats are usually embedded in a pleasant audio CD or MP3 recording of relaxing, meditative music and/or sounds of nature. There are binaural beat audio tracks that have been developed specifically to guide you into deep sleep frequencies, followed by theta frequencies. These frequencies then rise, taking you right to the brink of the alpha frequency, and then back into theta, which will enable you to enjoy the experience lucid dreaming.

Binaural beat audio recordings are easy to use and listen to. Basically, all you need is an MP3 player and a set of headphones. Play the binaural audio as you go to sleep, and then simply let the binaural beat effect work for you. Even new users often experience the benefits of binaural beats within minutes of first using them.

Would you like to try meditation but can’t decide which method to use? There are many approaches and each of them is supposed to be the best. However, basic meditation techniques combined with listening to a binaural beats mp3 will make your meditation sessions more effortless and enjoyable.

Various meditation methods have been in vogue at different times over the past years. We’ve heard that Transcendental is the pinnacle of meditation, but then Yoga has always been a steady producer. And what about Sitting, Guided, or Zen?

The truth is all of these methods can be effective if you have the time to take the classes and be able to devote hours of practice. Monks are able to spend years and are extremely adept at the degree of mind control that is necessary for effective meditation. Unfortunately, most of us are not monks and don’t have the time to dedicate to become really good at meditation and we need to experience the benefits more quickly.

The goal of meditation is to relax your body and mind by slowing down brainwave activity. During a normal day, the brain is in the beta frequency range which is a state of high alertness and direct problem-solving. Meditation intends to lower brainwave activity into the slower frequency states of alpha and theta. These are the meditative regions where you are extremely relaxed but still have a degree of conscious awareness.

The various meditation methods require that you learn how to control your brain’s activity level. This is the part that takes practice and can be difficult to perfect. You will be constantly battling “mind chatter” in order to stay in a relaxed meditative state.

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.

Would you like to learn how to hypnotise someone?

It is really simple and highly effective for changing your life or someone else’s. In a moment, I will explain the five steps, but first you need to know how you can tell you are successful when you hypnotise someone.

The human brain operates in four discernable brainwave states or frequencies. The beta state is fully awake, and the other three states qualify as hypnosis. The lightest state of hypnosis is called, “alpha”, and this is the state most people enter. Nearly everyone will enter this state; if you get lost in the story of a book or forget you are driving because you are deep in thought about something, you have entered the alpha state.

So, if you follow the steps presented below, and your subject simply closes his eyes, fully relaxes, and listens to your voice, he has most likely entered the alpha state.

How To Hypnotise Someone – Stage 1:

The first stage to hypnotise someone is the induction stage. This is where you get the subject into a physically and mentally relaxed position. Once you tell the subject to close his or her eyes and relax, ask him or her to breathe in and out deeply and release tensions with each exhalation.

After a few such breaths, tell the subject to relax his feet and proceeding slowly… giving the subject time to visualize and feel the relaxation… tell the subject to relax his legs, hips, abdomen, chest, shoulders, arms, neck, and head.

Next, begin describing a relaxing scenario such as being in a garden or forest, on a cloud, or strolling down a path. Encourage visualizing and feeling his surrounding, and continue telling him to relax.

How To Hypnotise Someone – Stage 2:

The second stage is the “deepening.” For this stage, take the subject through an imagined change such as walking down steps, riding down in an elevator, or rising higher if on a cloud, etc. Tell the subject to relax even more, focusing only on your voice, as you count down each step or floor or whatever. Begin counting at 3, 5, or 10 (higher is not necessary), and count down to 1. This stage is designed to further relax the subject and to deepen his state of hypnosis.

How To Hypnotise Someone – Stage 3:

The third, and most important, stage is the suggestion stage. This is where you actually communicate with the subconscious mind and change its core beliefs and actions. There are important, distinct rules you must follow when constructing suggestion scripts to get the most effective, positive results.

How To Hypnotise Someone – Stage 4:

The fourth stage is “amnesia.” The point of the amnesia stage is to keep the critical conscious mind out of the way of progress by creating doubt in the subject’s subconscious. To complete this stage, you generally tell the subject he will not be burdened with consciously remembering the commands you gave during the hypnosis session. The subject is free to forget the session. The subconscious, however, will never forget.

How To Hypnotise Someone – Stage 5:

The final stage is “trance termination.” This step is really simple. All you need to do is tell the subject they will awaken as you count from 3 down to 1 and that they will be fully awake, refreshed, and happy when you reach the number 1. Then count… 3… 2… 1, and tell them to open their eyes.

That’s really all there is to the basic procedure. Of course, there are many different ways to do each stage. Furthermore, there are some especially important factors for the suggestion scripts, and most stages should be tailored to the subject.
