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.

Wealth. Money. Financial independence. Many strive for these, yet few attain them. It certainly isn’t due to a lack of resources or information. Stroll into any bookstore and you’ll find stacks of tomes describing wealth generating methods from affirmations to meditation. It would seem that the dream of being able to become a millionaire is only a couple books, or workshops, or study at home DVD sets away.

So why so much lack? Why so much poverty and want? I have a friend who does repairs on homes. Homes that have fallen into foreclosure, and he has been hired to fix them up so they can be resold at a profit. The number one item left behind? Books and self study programs on how to become financially independent.

There is one secret that can get you to financial freedom and independence quicker than any other method, scheme or secret pyramid club. Unleashing your massive subconscious mind power. Your subconscious mind power has long been known throughout the ages as the fast secret to creating income regardless of your station in life. And you are about to learn how.

Unless you uncover your hidden blocks to wealth, no matter how many books you read or seminars you attend, you’ll never achieve the success you deserve. That sounds harsh, but it’s true. The good news is that with some simple self directed mind control and self hypnosis, you’ll easily attract to you the riches and financial security to you that you desire. The good news is that is rather simple.

First, create a powerful, positive, emotional filled statement, in the present tense, describing your ideal financial situation. Positive means saying something like “I enjoy my multiple streams of income,” instead of “I don’t have any more debt.” Present tense simply means to say it as if it were true now, and some vague time in the future. Powerful means that you fill it with the emotions of gratitude and appreciation. Once you tap your subconscious mind power, wealth is only a few meditation sessions away.

Now that you’ve got your statement worked out, it’s time to say it to yourself. Get in a quiet, relaxed position. Slowly count down from ten, down to one, taking a deep breath. This will help to decrease your brainwaves, the collective electrical activity in your brain. Our brainwaves are normally in the beta, or excited state. By relaxing and counting down from ten, you’ll lower your brainwaves from beta to alpha. In the alpha state, your mind is much more open to suggestions.

Keep repeating our mantra to yourself a few times. Create as much feeling as you can. Do this two or three times a day. It may seem a bit basic and simple, but don’t underestimate how much subconscious mind power you have. It controls all. Your memories, your heartbeat, the blood pulsing through your veins. By slowly convincing it that you are indeed rich, it will come to pass.
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.

We, children of the silent generation, the most influential people in society today, we baby boomers will not go quietly into the night-do not for a minute, think of us as seniors.

Yes, the ravages of time are creeping up on us. Body parts are shifting and morphing, we’re gaining weight, especially around the middle, or we’re losing weight, like in our breasts (never on our belly) and we’re sagging (both men and women). Wrinkles are showing up on our faces like canyons carved from rushing rivers. Our hair, if we don’t dye it, if we have any left, is grey, thin, and dull. It looks terrible if we choose not to cut it. Memory, that thing we used to pride ourselves on, our “sharpness,” is not what it used to be.

Despite all of these biological markers, one thing still stands out.

Baby boomers are resilient. We know how to cope. We are not afraid to seek out products and technology to re-invent ourselves. We are not a generation to grow old. We believe in “forever young.”

Boomers have been responsible for the popularity of brainwave entrainment in the pursuit of the fountain of youth and personal success.

Brainwave entrainment, in the digital sense, was invented and produced by baby boomers.

Digital entrainment is a specialized technology that changes brainwave frequency to produce deliberate effects from alternate states of mind. A specific repeated, rhythmic stimulus is introduced to the brain, either in audio and/or visual pulses. The brain will follow, using the frequency following response principle, and change its predominant brainwave frequency to match that of the stimulus. This is a very easy and efficient way to produce desired effects.

Benefits of Brainwave Entrainment Rejuvenation Recordings

Major reduction in stress, the largest contributor to aging and disease.
The production of cortisol, a major stress hormone, that disables your immune system, raises your blood pressure, encourages cancers and diseases, makes you fat, anxious and depressed, is drastically curtailed.
Releases healing hormones like HGH and melatonin.
HGH, the human growth hormone, will leave you feeling refreshed and replenished.
HGH stops the loss of muscle tone, curbs cravings and stops weight gain, picks up your stamina, rejuvenates sagging skin and muscles, stops and minimizes wrinkles giving the skin good tone and texture.
Your memory will “wake up.”
Your IQ will increase and with repeated sessions, will continue to increase.
Feelings of tranquility and peace will become your default.
Connection to your higher self, or the collective unconsciousness will confirm that you are ageless and vital.
The pituitary gland releases hormones that gets your hair to grow back, and with color.
These recordings for rejuvenation even have a beneficial effect on Alzheimer’s symptoms.

Baby boomers are all about change. We have never settled for the status quo.

Brainwave entrainment rejuvenates us, keeping us in the loop, helping us maintain our position as leaders in society.

After all, who do you think invented all those wonderful computers, televisions, telephones, and the blessed internet.

We, as humans, have a way of laziness – we work hard until we receive some amount of information. We then make a conclusion based on this minimal “evidence”, and call it a day. Our answers become static answers, and dogmatic – they are only solutions for our childish curiosity, and were never truly honest answers. Today, many old questions are being challenged and age-old answers are being understood as incomplete and insufficient. Until we understand that all things are waves, we will continue to live in a dysfunctional way, basing all we think we know on currently provided disinformation.

I assert that everything we know of, and everything we experience is based upon the existence of waves, and waveforms still exist that most have not yet become aware of. I also present that all waveforms (frequencies) carry specific information or data with them, just as an FM radio wave carries your favorite song with it, and that thought itself is a waveform. If all frequency (or light) is information, then all information is also light.

I have taken some liberties in generalizing terms such as “light” and “heat”, but do emphasize them as interchangeable with the terms wave or frequency, or to compliment them, depending on context. I only hope that by my use of these terms, I have opened them up a bit, expanding their definition, and allowing us to understand these concepts a little better. For the sake of simplicity and clarity, in the future I will use the term energy when referring to any activity related to waveforms and the EM Spectrum.

The final points I will establish for consideration are as follows:

All particulate matter exists as a result of waves, and exhibit or display themselves to us only as specific frequencies and mediums determine – hence, all things are waves.
All we perceive and experience are waves carrying information. These waves are conveniently disguised by the words light, matter, taste, God, etc. Our world is defined by our most limited perceptions, our five senses, and we must begin our move into deeper worlds of understanding.
What we perceive is a very small part of a much larger reality, and much exists that we do not perceive.
All waves stimulate a response whether we are aware of this response or not.
Waves exist as carriers of information, and we, as humans, are receivers. Once we can tap into these wavelengths with a new understanding, we can also be transmitters, using these waves much like we use telephones, and conscious knowledge of these waves and their sources will be established. A personal relationship can then be fostered with what we can call the source, or intelligence, of all that is.

While nothing I have presented here is revolutionary, it is necessary information that is being rapidly explored and developed by our ever expanding quantum community. If this information contains enough substance for the reader to accept as a working hypothesis, and s/he continues on into further study because of curiosity, let it be a serious curiosity, and I will be content that a wave of information set in motion has found a suitable receiver.

There are many ways to establish communion with waveforms, as many as there are individuals, but as our rich history has shown us, systems are set in place for foundational work, systems that allow individualization by the practitioner. I will discuss some fundamentals of various methods and systems later. It is through these systems and methods that beauty and self- empowerment can be returned to you, as your final and rightful heritage.

We were teaching SpeedBraining to two-dozen 12-14 year olds.
The specific strategy was StressBusting – how to remove bad stress affecting your
decisions and behaviors and scaring the life out of you.

Question: By a show of hands, how many of you kids experience stress in any
meaningful way in your uneventful happy lives?

Twenty-four students raised their hands. Huh?

These youngsters passionately raised more than nine categories of chronic stress.
Some were:

a) guilt feelings induced by good-intentioned pushy parents;
b) anxiety produced by threatening teachers.
c) angst through relationships with the opposite gender;
d) fear of illness, disability (freakiness), and yes, early death.
e) panic about their SATs, interviews and career decisions.
f) hatred of their appearance. Ugly: too short or too tall. Too fat, or too skinny.
g) trouble sleeping, hallucinations and habitual tiredness and lack of energy
h) belief they have a retarded personality, character and do not fit in.
i) certainty they will disappoint their parents, teachers etc because they are talentless, lazy and losers. They suffer Automatic Negative Thoughts (Ants)

Adults

Whenever I read an article, report or textbook more than two paragraphs long, the question pops out of my mind unbidden, what is in it for me? (WIIFM).
It is followed by – Why should I continue wasting my time reading this irrelevant junk? That is exactly right, I am egotistical and opportunistic. If you cannot show me how you can help me – our job here is done, Tonto. This article will show you (adults) how to trigger positive feelings and eliminate stress from your life.

Stress

Definition: biological reaction to adverse stimuli, (physical, mental and emotional),
internal or external, that bug you and burns down your comfort-zone.

Read on: chronic stress increases you heart rate, raises your blood pressure, and creates muscular tension, irritability and depression. It often produces headaches and dizziness, and loss of energy; it is a mental trigger for migraines.

You heard this all before?

Did you know that chronic stress (emotional strain, fatigue, worry and fear), is presently believed by some prominent scientists to be the physiological trigger for
heart disease, cancer and stroke?

How about: chronic stress inhibits your immune systems, can reduce your longevity causing early aging, loss of memory and panic attacks.

Massage

Are you aware of a two-minute strategy to help eliminate chronic stress for up to four hours?

Grab a skin cream (vitamins A, D & E added) and gently self massage your arms, hands (front and back), face, and neck. Take a deep diaphragmatic breath and
on exhaling slowly massage a specific area of your body. Move to another body part
and take another deep breath and work the cream as you slowly exhaling.

This two-minutes exercise will move your brainwave rhythms from Beta to Alpha
within thirty-seconds (EEG) and activate your immune systems, hormones,
enzymes and neuropeptides (fMRI). It improves your pulmonary activity (breathing), slows your heart rate (parasympathetic nervous system), and helps reduces your blood pressure to your optimal rate.

Want to double your benefits with the same two-minute strategy?

Have another homo sapiens massage your upper body and face gently.

You may also notice relief from muscle tension, headaches and stomach disorders. l
We recommend personal or mutual massage three-times weekly for additional
chronic stress relief. Will you invest two-minutes of your day?

Google Dr. Hans Selye and General Adaption Syndrome, published in 1936 in the journal, Nature. Dr. Selye published 41 books on Stress and the Fight-or-Flight
syndrome. He is more relevant in 2007 than when originally published.

Killer Strategy

Remember and use this strategy and improve your life by up to 10 years.
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) was developed by
Dr. Francine Shapiro in 1987. It is used by four thousand clinicians and
taught to two-million stressed out folks.

a) Can you see out of the corners of your eyes? It is your Peripheral Vision.

b) Try it by seeing from the Edges of your eyes and mentally hearing
the Command Affirmation (subvocalization) Go Wide, Edges or
Lateral left and Lateral right. Look straight ahead (driving your car)
yet take in the sides. See from the Edges of your left and right eyes (lateral left and lateral right) while focusing straight ahead.

c) 95% of your waking hours (Beta consciousness) your sense of
vision is Foveal; it is acute, and a sharply focused narrow spectrum of your
field-of-vision.
Examples: reading, speaking face-to-face, surfing the Internet; add watching TV, playing video games and DVD movies.

d) Foveal vision helps produce Dry Eye, headaches, and chronic stress because
of its lack of eye movement patterns.

The Two-Minute Solution

1. Mentally prepare for this strategy by closing your eyes and visualizing on the movie-screen of your mind a page of text that is not clear enough (indecipherable) to read the words.
Your job: two behaviors that appear a little loco but activate your brain structures for speed learning, long-term memory and comprehension.

2. Use your dominant hand index finger (usually right) as a Pacer to physically underline the sentences of this mental page. Move left-to-right, and return (diagonally) right-to-left down the page. Exercise your motor cortex and do it.

3. Move your head simultaneously while pacing the sentences left-to-right. Your eye movements are left-to-right and so are your head movements, moving down the page. Repeat 5-7 times and then stop and open your eyes.

4. Now take your RasterMaster (handheld laser pacer) pen or computer cursor and do the same strategy (peripheral vision eye movements) on a real page of text. We call it the Z for Zorro strategy or the Diagonal. Eyes opened and use #2 and #3.

5. Your Somatosensory Cortex is engaged when you use your hand while imaging or actually reading. You are activating your sense of touch (kinesthetic-haptic right-brain) to reinforce your prefront cortex (proprioception, left-brain).

N.B. triggering your visual cortex (reading), your auditory cortex (hearing), and your kinesthetic (touch) instead of just visual sense alone turns you into a killer learner.

6. Vestibulo-Auditory-Reflex (VOR) is an eye movement that stabilizes the words
read (on the retina) by head movements in the direction opposite to your head going left-to-right. It maintains the words you read in the center of your visual field.
See #2 and #3. You are reading 3-5 words at time instead of just the 1 of snailers.

N.B. It helps 3x your reading speed and 2x your long term memory.

Endwords

Use the VOR (head) and Motor cortex (hand) strategies for two-minutes daily
and you will master speed reading quickly and easily. It works like gangbusters.

And our work here is done, Tonto.

We truly necessitate seeing at the definition of what brainstorm entrainment is all about, and it has been making quite a stir in the total physical ontogeny market. Of course this might be quite hard for you to understand, but the one key of the whole precept of the technology is that it affects one of the best deep brain stimulation that allows you to penetrate the subconscious mind, erase the messages that were in it, and replace it with your own affirmation. For one thing, the whole concept of the brainwave entrainment is that it works really well with supporting methods like affirmation and even audio stimulation.

Now, we should be looking at the specifics of the whole concept of the technology and from there, we can better understand how they can induce the whole deep brain stimulation. For one thing insight entrainment is the exercise of specific, engineered sticks that have been prepared in the science laboratory for the use to meliorate the province of the psyche.

Of course, this has been organised from the very issue that the psyche uses nerve cells in special relative frequencies at diverse times of the sidereal day. What materializes is that the nerve cells in the head in reality commune with one opposite end for the whole construction of electromagnetic pulses, which show up as frequency variations on raw tools.

One of the matters that you need to do is to in reality realize that the psyche really exists in certain large states that you can really make through the practice of the brainwave engineering. It is in reality proud to note that more and more individuals are gathering admittance to this kind of sound deadening engineering science from the web. For this understanding, we can safely articulate that this has became the most accessible and most true mental improvement technology in this day and age. brain wave entrainment is something that has truly taken over, applying great absolute frequency audios that have been embedded into particular soothing auditory sensations that can be replied to by the cortical of the head.

Now the secret behind the whole concept of the deep brain stimulation is that you need to be able to actually go past the whole defences of the mind. When we are talking about defences, we are looking at things like critical thought processes and logic processes as well. These are the defence mechanisms that you need to penetrate and go past. You need to go beyond the normal frequencies so that the cortical of the mind can actually respond to stimulation. Cortical potential entrainment can induce the distinct relative frequencies in the head that are linked to leading isometric and low isometric big provinces, which are precise functional for you gathering an edge in spirit.

If you need to know more about this technology, you can go online and Google the whole concept of the brainwave entrainment. With this, you can make your own decisions on whether or not you need deep brain stimulations for your own mental improvement.

We think of healing generally refer to the healing of an injury, a healing of pain of some kind. But what happens if pain doesn’t subside? What happens when doctors don’t have any more answers to solving the problem? What happens the problem isn’t pain per se, but constant confusion, unhappiness, anger, or fear?

When we think of healing in terms of an injury, we think of bed rest or not using the area that has been hurt. Resting while feeding it nutrients that will help sustain it and aid in the body’s natural ability to repair itself. Occasionally, the trauma is so severe it requires surgery; an active outside force to heal the wound.

I am commonly asked if they, my clients, need to ‘believe in’ healing for it to occur. My response to that is very simple. Have you ever walked into a room where there was someone who was depressed? How about when there was someone ecstatically happy? Have you ever felt someone watching you without seeing them, turning around and then seeing someone there? These are all signs of a natural sensitivity to the world around us. We are more influenced by our environment than we think and specifically the people in it, who have the capacity to change their own frequencies through their thoughts and intentions.

Our brains operate during our day-to-day activities at a beta brainwave frequency. This is most optimal for logical, time sequential thinking for things like deadlines, figuring out income and expenditures and when the rent is due. When healthy, we can live in this frequency during the day indefinitely. When we rest, our brains move to an alpha brainwave state or deep physical and mental relaxation, then to theta, the place between waking and sleeping, then delta when we are asleep. As the brain controls the rest of the body, when we are unhealthy, when there is trauma, mental or physical pain, healing can only best occur when the brain is in these resting phases.

A lot of us are given healing and health challenges for the outcome we specifically have to take. I know a very non-spiritual, meat-and-potatoes kind of guy who unfortunately got a kidney stone and problems with his spleen. He was forced to change his diet and become a vegetarian, something very uncommon, very un-like him. But it healed his kidneys and at the same time drastically reduced his high blood pressure.

While these states and awareness allow for healing, I recently realized it can be much more effective if the person has an open mind, meaning they can put aside their preconceived notions, just as they do in the presence of a doctor about biology and pharmacology. Though in energy/spiritual/faith/reiki healing or meditation, having an open mind is more about putting away notions about how the mind and body and environment work together. Mind you, this is not leaving your brain at the door. You are conscious, and feeling. You still have your capacity for logical thinking and ability to have a gut feeling if something is wrong.

Healing is more about you the thought forms and intentions in your environment and training your own brain to trust and accept thought forms and feelings of healing. The alpha brainwave state which has been proven to enhance creativity and stream-of-consciousness thinking, and the theta brainwaves state, in which intention and change occur simultaneously, are difficult to create alone. Meditation is the number one tool to help transition from a beta brainwave state to a healing, alpha or theta brainwave state. Energy healers are trained specifically to understand how mind, body and environment interact and what is a healthy system and how to create the most healing environment for their clients.

This is a topic too big for one blog post, but hopefully it showed a little light in the vast conundrum in the world of healing.

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.

We survey thousands of students and executives before they become speed readers, and under 10% own a formal learning system. They just paid attention and winged it, hoping the essence of what they read or hear flies into their brain. Do you have any specific memory and learning strategies?

Why bother?

When you own a methodology, a technique for learning, you can recall and use
newly acquired knowledge for exams, presentations and brainstorming creative solutions. You always have the competitive-edge and run on the fast track for grades, promotions and raises.

Graduates who have a practical knowledge of meta-learning, instead of using a random approach of wishing for the best or an appeal to a higher power, score up to 39% higher on tests. It makes all the difference in the world in your stress level and self confidence. Remember, whatever we focus on expands.

Metalearning

Some professors define metalearning as being aware and taking control of ones own
learning strategies. Hello – we all have a system for learning even if it is not organized. Metalearning is discovering how you presently learn and expanding your
programming with improvements in comprehension and recall.

Next, take responsibility for managing your metalearning system, not leaving
it to the instructor. Finally, you should become aware of your unused capacity for
learning and remembering. If you half-try you can double your learning skills in 21
days of only 15 minutes of daily practice. Too much work? You have chosen to limit
your future success.

Your Alpha Level

Our brain produces measurable electric brainwave rhythms. The research tools for Neurofeedback (NFB) are the Electroencephalogram (EEG) and the Magneticoencephlography (MEG). They are measure our electrical brain rhythms in Cycles Per Second, Hertz (Hz), also known as Transitions. We also call them Waveforms or Rhythms.

The name to remember as the creator of the EEG is Dr. Hans Berger, a German psychiatrist, 1873-1941.

Two memorable things about University of Jena professor Berger: one, he had to wait until 1929 for American Allan B. DuMont to improve the Cathode Ray Tube to make his EEG work practical;
although he was an internationally famous scientist for proving the brain’s electrical activity, his own government, the Nazis, hounded him from the university and intimidated him to a hanging suicide in 1941.

EEG

There are four core brainwave settings:

a) Beta Hz registers our waking ordinary consciousness used in logic and organization. 12-18 Cycles Per Second (CPS)

b) Alpha is produced when our eyes are closed in alert relaxation; it is an activation of our Visual Cortex during Idling, and registers the electrical brainwaves in our Occipital Lobe. 8-12 CPS.

c) Theta cycles per second is active during learning and memory and is produced in our Dentate Gyrus, located in the Hippocampus, also known as Broca’s Area. 4-8 CPS.

d) Delta CPS are the brainwave rhythms occurring during sleep.

0-4 CPS.

For a comprehensive review, Google Broca’s Area and Wernicke’s Area.

Neurofeedback (NFB)

If you observe what structures of your brain are firing in terms of their amplitudes and frequencies, you are capable of consciously training your mind to improve your performance. It works because of feedback from your brain. Technically, it is Operant Conditioning for your internal states.

Coda: You have more control over your mind and body than you believe for health and healing. There are strategies to enhance your life that you have never been taught and may want to learn.

NFB is used internationally to reduce chronic stress, panic attacks and to improve learning and memory; it is a learning strategy that alters brainwaves through feedback of your present behaviors.

Three processes are involved: a burning desire
for improvement; a change in your belief of what is possible, and last, an expectation of your personal success.

Does it really work?

After fifty years of research using Biofeedback, Alphafeedback and Neurofeedback,
some physicians and neuroscientists believe NFB is equal to drugs, psychiatry and
surgery. Others are waiting for the Nobel committee to grant NFB certification.

Using Alpha For Learning

Our experience is students will only swallow small bites at a time of anything new or
a change from their daily experience. Speed Reading is a proven strategy to triple your reading speed and double your memory quickly and permanently. Still, over 40% of surveyed educators consider speed reading impossible even after 50 years of evidence and proof.

Statistics in 1959 revealed that 98% of the general public did not believe you could train children or adults to read and remember three books, articles and reports in the time their peers could hardly finish one. In 2006, a new survey shows 90% of American students and executives polled believe speed reading is a skill worth learning.

The Wall Street Journal in a major article on July 25, 2006, calls Speed Reading: The Sequel. It indicates that corporate executives require and use its strategies.

Change

Why do adults have such difficulty with change and newness?

It is instinctual (survival value) to continue doing what has a proven track record; and change and newness is frightening and attacks our status quo and need for a comfort-zone. Misoneism is in Websters for fear, and hatred of change.

In order to learn something new we must experience a disconnect, a disruption of our comfort-zone. We try all our past strategies to solve a problem or make a decision; only if they fail will we consider a new, creative approach. Adults have
a neophobia toward being an experimental guinea pig in things large or small.

Could it be that we mentally associate change with the ultimate change, death?

Endwords

Speed reading has secret strategies for the 20% of our graduates (the Vital Few)
who desire to go to the upper levels of their personal growth. These learnable techniques permit certain students and executives to access their hardwired gifts and talents leading to creative genius.

When the student is ready the teacher appears, as above so below; as within, so
without. Think about it.

See ya.

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

This ‘frequency following’ response of brainwave entrainment can be seen in action with those prone to epilepsy. If a strobe flashes at their seizure frequency, the brain will ‘entrain’ to the flashing light, resulting in a seizure.

On the positive side, this same mechanism is commonly used to induce many brainwave states; such as a trance, enhanced focus, relaxation, meditation or sleep induction. The brainwave entrainment effectively pushes the entire brain into a certain state.

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

We spend hours in the gym for body fitness, we take nutritional supplements to balance our diet, but the majority of us ignore exercising our brain. Brain power is something that requires our close attention, because it is that supreme seating that controls the entire voluntary and involuntary actions of human body.

Most of us misunderstand the intelligence quotient as the measurement scale for our brainpower. It is in fact a myth. The IQ level of individual has nothing to do with the potential of his or her brain. For example an IQ test asked the individual to pick the odd one out among the four fruits given. The differentiation is based on the number of seeds each fruit possess. What if the individual is not familiar with the fruits? Does that make him intelligently backward? The answer would be a simple no. Obviously most of these tests are culturally biased.

So what you need is real life tests rather than marking options on sheet of paper. If you want to be creative, adapt creative problem solving techniques. If you want to make your brain concentrate, learn the ways to do it. Acquire the mastering in speed read and double your knowledge than tour contemporaries. End of day what matters is who invented the first electric bulb, or designed the fastest car or created the magic symphony.

Various brainwave technologies and design courses available today gives you a detailed mechanism or ways to utilize the potential of your so-called brainpower. Participants who have indulged in various brainwave entrainment programmes have seen remarkable improvements in Parkinson muscle lock, balance, mental focus, learning disabilities, agility, memory, arithmetic ability, reasoning power and innumerable other capabilities connected with the brain powers. The packages most commonly involves various computer based specific brain exercises to further develop certain cognitive functions, like processing speed and reasoning and attention, visual capabilities like perception, scanning and working memory.

Most of the brain entrainment courses is based on the scientifically proven fact that specific brain exercises can stimulate the growth of new glial cells, facilitate the sprouting and branching of dendrites as well as improve the connection of cortical cells in brain. The whole process of brain fitness is not as complicated as it may sound to common readers. Let us consider a simple example of kicking a soccer ball. Anybody can kick a soccer ball, but those with basic muscle strengthening exercises can kick the same ball more forcefully and accurately than the rest of the crowd. This similar scenario works in the case of tapping your brain’s potential.

Psychologists say that it takes hardly twenty to thirty minutes of repeated practice to master any skill. This means that when you have finally decided to give your brain the perfect exercise regime, make sure your new problem solving exercises or new concentration enhancing methods are put into practice at least three times a week. You can use many of the available brain boosters to enhance your brain power, but is creating new habits that will matter more.

We spend an average eight hours or so asleep, but how would it be if you could go to sleep and take control of your own dreams, having the ability to expand your whole life experience by travelling through time and space experiencing past and future events and meeting whoever you choose across the globe?

This all seems like a flight of fantasy, but you can experience the world of lucid dreaming if you can get your mind into a state where you can become aware when you reach the ‘Rapid Eye Movement’ (REM) period of sleep, when dreaming is most likely, but is not usually remembered.

How to prepare for lucid dreaming and how you will benefit:

The first step in practising lucid dreaming is to record your dreams in a dream journal, which will make the process of recall become more natural and in turn you will find it easier to remember your dreams more vividly.
Secondly you should start checking that you are not dreaming when you are in your waking state, during the day.This sounds bizarre but you will have to get into the habit of checking that you are awake when you are in your dream state and this will help to do this.
You should also have the intention of being aware of your dreams before you go to sleep. In doing this you will be setting up the suggestion in your subconscious mind and over time you will acquire the habit of lucid dreaming at will, any time you reach the dream state.
Those who have perfected lucid dreaming have recorded experiences of being able to control their dreams, traveling to far off lands and meeting with people in various exotic locations. Imagine being able to direct your will to produce your own fantasy scenarios and gaining knowledge beyond your normal access in the physical world.
Apart from the fantastic feeling of freedom and elation with the pure experience of lucid dreaming, your creativity and imagination will develop, making you more in touch with creative design and patterns thereby expanding your artistic abilities.
You can use lucid dreams to have conversations with people with whom you find it difficult to approach in the physical world, which will give you the ability to resolve outstanding issues with them,and generally to improve your external relationships.
Practising lucid dreaming in social situations can improve your social skills. Imagine the power of being able to attend any social event feeling at ease because you are in full control of the situation. This feeling will filter down into the physical world and you will find yourself being at ease with yourself when you are in a real time situation in the physical world.
If you just want to experience the escapism of enjoying anything in the realm of your imagination that’s OK too. There is no limit to your imagination and just as dreams usually elude you, when you are in a lucid dreaming state you will be able to take full advantage of the beautiful images in your mind and flights of fantasy will become real.

If you know of others who are practising lucid dreaming you can both practice meeting up in your dreams by specifying the time and location, just as you would in the physical world.

Although there are no guaranteed methods by which you can attain a lucid dreaming state, there are ways to attune your mind to the correct frequency to enable you to fully experience the phenomena. This method requires using brainwave entrainment downloads to induce the delta state artificially so that you can maintain control rather than leaving it to chance.

Brainwave entrainment downloads can be played on any mp3 device and when used in conjunction with the daily checking and dream recording methods they will boost your ability to achieve natural sleep and dream memory retrieval.

Imagine the thrill of experiencing your first lucid dream, and looking forward to your night’s sleep knowing you will have the experience of your life!

We sometimes are looking for something specific. When we don’t see it we think that we’ve either made a mistake or we’ve been cheated. With the Law of Attraction, our desires are often fulfilled in non-specific ways. Yet, if you keep faith, you will attract all you desire. Napoleon Hill called it perseverance.

The Law of Attraction Always Works, provided….

Ah, there is a deal maker or breaker. You have to believe that this will work. This is known as allowing and this is generally believed to be the hardest part.

You don’t just have to believe it with your conscious mind, but also with your unconscious mind. And, your Ego doesn’t want you to get involved or certainly, to stay involved. When you believe in miracles, your Ego is no longer necessary. It is self preservation for your Ego to make you feel doubt. When you become a spiritual master, your Ego is no longer necessary. When you learn to live in the present moment, your Ego can’t even find you.

You Ego is part of the third dimension where past and future play a larger part in a life than the present, or NOW as Eckhart Tolle would call it. However, the NOW is where all miracles happen. The NOW is where you feel joy or empathy, love or peace.

It is in the NOW when you feel competence, security, mastery and connection to your higher mind. When you are in this state of being, you are in the 4th dimension. In the 4th dimension co-creation or manifesting can easily be achieved. In the 3rd dimension things are heavy and dense. There is little manifestation occurring because there is fear and hatred, anger and jealousy. With these emotions you cannot exist in the 4th dimension.

So, the Law of Attraction always works provided you can stay in the NOW.

Meditation Helps You to See Whether or Not You Are in the NOW

Meditation is a great help for learning to stay in the NOW, and thus the 4th dimension where manifestation is more immediate.

Many, if not all, meditation systems teach you to attend to your breathing. This connects you to your body and to each new moment as it unfolds. While attending to your breathing, you are not retelling a story from the past that re-ignites anger or some other negative feeling. While attending to your breathing, you are not worrying about some non-existent future. Breathe in and breathe out. Breathe in and breathe out.

Byron Katie explains in The Work that every negative emotion is based on some story that you tell yourself. And each of these stories separates you from reality. Each of these stories shows how we are attempting to control other people. The parent who complains that his children don’t do their homework, wants his children to do their homework. If he weren’t complaining and telling this story from the past, he might be inspired to find another way of enticing them into doing their homework.

Meditation gives you this time to ask for help from your higher mind and the quiet allows you to hear the answer. Meditation also takes you to the Alpha brainwave pattern, or deeper, and in this state you are better able to visualize your desire in a way that will be instantly accepted by your subconscious.

Once your subconscious has the image of you having achieved your desire, it will set to work to manifest it. This is when your energy (frequency vibratory rate) begins to form the matching particles of matter.
