Brainwave Entrainment How Subconscious Reprogramming Can Change Your Life For the Better

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 all have bad habits. This is the reality of the world today. The cigarette industry is a multi billion dollar a year industry which has roped in more than 1 billion people into its web of addiction. We don’t need to smoke. There is no physical benefit in smoking. Science has proven that it is the main cause of 4 types of cancers and more than 30 other types of ailments. Science has also proven without a shadow of a doubt that there are more than 1,000 toxic elements within the cigarette that people are ingesting with each puff.

Why do we still do it? Why, in the face of all these facts, the face of all the deaths in the world do we still maintain this habit, no matter how much we want to quit. This is a premier example of subconscious addiction. The drug is not in the cigarette and nicotine is not even the main cause of this constant craving for smoking. The feeling that we think we get whenever we smoke is all down to the brain ‘remembering’ and ‘enforcing’ and ‘augmenting’ the feelings we have, in a constant cycle that finally becomes a craving that leads to an addiction. We can’t stop because our subconscious – the most powerful controlling agent in our body, is telling us we must smoke to feel good.

So how do we change? How do we do subconscious reprogramming to change life for the better and kick the habit for good? The answer is brainwave entrainment technology and it is a phenomenon that has been picking up speed ever since it was introduced.

This cause for addiction is the same for everything we do. We overeat not because we are hungry; we do drugs not because we need to. Everything we are hooked on is the result of our mind telling us that we need to smoke, need to eat again and need to do that thing that is damaging us.

The solution is to reach into our mind and remove the messages of addiction that is branded with fire in our subconscious mind and the only way to do this is with brainwave entrainment technology. It places the mind in a state of meditation that shuts down the defences of the conscious mind and gives us access to the subconscious.

The entrainment technology than induces an electromagnetic frequency response that makes the subconscious open for reprogramming. It sounds easy because it is easy, one you are in that state you are able to use the power of positive and powerful messages to start you on the road to a better life. Find the root of the problem and change it from there, this is how subconscious reprogramming can change your life for the better.

There are all sorts of brainwave entrainment technology out there for you to choose from and they come in simple forms – even the form of a CD. There is no excuse for you not to try it.
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.

Brainwave Entrainment What Are Your Brainwaves?

We all have 4 main brainwaves, and they are, according to their speeds, from highest to lowest: Beta, Alpha, Theta & Delta. Each brainwave activity has its own characteristics, reflecting a special state of consciousness and a certain level of brain activity. The current state of your brain is determined by the dominant frequency of your brainwaves. The Gamma state which can be the fifth of the brainwaves, is not considered as a main brainwave state because rarely you can find a person who has this unique state. It is a very fascinating and exclusive state. Electricity in the brain moves in the form of waves at all times.These waves are classified according to their speed, according to their frequency. Neuroscience wanted to know about how the brain functions and how it can influence the person. The first discovery about brain functioning began in 1920, at the hands of Hans Berger a German researcher. He was the first to find out that brain electricity changes according to mental processes.The first brainwave he discovered was the Alpha state. In 1930’s and 40’s, researchers discovered 3 types of brainwaves: Beta, Theta & Delta. Only recently, Gamma state was discovered. Neuroscience discovered that the brain-like any organ of the body-vibrates with electricity, and the rhythm of this electricity which is called brainwaves, causes different states of being. Each of these brainwave states has its own speed range and associations. Research is not totally united about speed range of each state. However, the variations are minimal, and here I will demonstrate the main speed range and characteristics of each brainwave state.

The 5 Brainwave States

Beta, Alpha,Theta, Delta & Gamma

1- Beta State: (14-40 Hz)- The High-Speed Conscious State: This is the highest speed of main waves. Beta waves dominate our waking lives as adults. We reach this state when we are actively thinking, engaged in focused mental activity, problem solving and when we are generally alert. It is also associated with logic and decision making. This state is important for us because we spend most of our daily times in different forms of actions, which necessitate a high level of consciousness or alertness. However at this high speed of brain activity, it drains a lot of energy. Furthermore, if we get to the higher level of Beta, say close to 30 Hz or faster speed, we may end being too alert or anxious. Anger, nervousness & fear all happen at the high end of Beta. These negative emotions not only consume tremendous energy but worse, they release harmful hormones like cortisol and others. A continuous state of Beta will diminish your natural ability to relax and also limit your ability to enjoy life. Unfortunately, because of our life style, because we need to do the things that activate Beta such as driving, thinking, problem solving, discussing, studying… etc., we end up in being dominated by it. Research shows that once we pass childhood age, once we become adults, our brainwaves become mostly Beta, during the waking state. This – very likely – may develop stress, restlessness & anxiety in our lives. It is no wonder that stress is a major health problem today, worldwide.

2- Alpha: (8-14 Hz) – The Relaxation State: This state is about mental relaxation and calmness. In Alpha, the brain learns at a faster and deeper level than Beta. You reach this level when you are relaxed. It is not quite like meditation but a stage that is close to feeling restful, such as sitting on the beach, or listening to calm sounds or music, or walking through a beautiful garden, or just sitting by yourself calmly. It reflects a resting state of mind and nerves. It is associated with creativity, mind/body co-ordination, inspiration and learning. It is good for creating new ideas and reflection. It is about focusing on the present, the importance of now. Research has shown that Alpha not only improves the performance of students, but also makes students more interested in studying than before. Alpha state is effective for influencing your conscious mind and ultimately, inducing changes at the conscious level. Studies show that by repeatedly accessing Alpha state (especially if combined with meditation), people can get rid of anxiety, or depression.

3- Theta: (4-8 Hz)- The Meditation State: This state is the border between waking and sleeping, and also the border between the conscious and unconscious mind. It can be reached either by deep meditation, deep relaxation (like hypnosis relaxation) and sleeping with dreams (dreamless sleep is Delta). Theta is a magical state that is the doorway to your unconscious mind UM. You can experience it when you move from Alpha and begin to sleep or when you wake up, moving from Delta (deep sleep). In Theta, you can get super learning ability, vivid visualization, deep creativity and mind programming. Although during Theta your body is in deep relaxation, you are aware of your surroundings and your senses are sharper. Your mind’s profound programs are at Theta. If you want to induce changes at the unconscious level, this is where you start. Super memory begins at Theta. Dreaming, strong mental concentration and higher intuition are all associated with Theta waves. In this state, you can also enjoy strong spiritual energy. Theta state can be very helpful to generate a lot of energy to the extent that some people noticed that half an hour a day of Theta can replace 4 hours of sleep. This is one reason that Theta is the start of the healing stage. Children are dominated by Theta -much more than adults-and this is a major factor for their accelerated learning abilities.

4- Delta (0.1-4 Hz) – The Deep Sleep State: This is the slowest of all waves. It occurs when you sleep deeply and without dreams. It can be also reached through deep meditation or deep trance hypnosis. Like Theta, you can reach your unconscious mind UM and induce many changes, only difference is that at Delta level, profound changes are more available than in Theta. The healing process which starts at Theta level can be more profound and complete at Delta. This state is the source of empathy. Many long-lasting emotional disorders and physical diseases can only be treated under Delta. This is one main factor that contributes to the success of deep hypnosis.

5- Gamma (40-100 Hz) – The Exceptional State: This state is the most recently discovered, and little is known about it and in a way it is still a mystery to many researchers. It is the fastest waves ranging between 40 Hz to 100 Hz, although some studies estimate it to start at 30Hz. Gamma waves were unknown before the advent of EEG devices. Neuroscientists are now discovering the marvelous functions of the brain when it operates under Gamma. They describe it as the “feeling of blessings”. It is said that the brain functions best under Gamma and therefore, the person reaches peak performance, mentally and physically. Research has found that people who suffer from depression, usually have very low Gamma level. It is no wonder that high Gamma activity is associated with feelings of happiness, calmness and at peace. It is like a different state of consciousness. Gamma disappears under anesthesia, and it is also above the frequency of neuronal firing, which is still a mystery. The other mystery is how it is generated? Many researchers studied persons with high Gamma level, and they found that it is high in experienced meditators like Tibetan monks. Richard Davidson, a professor for neuroscience at the University of Madison, Wisconsin, studied monks visualizing world peace. He noticed that these monks as they began to meditate, their brain speed slowed down to Alpha and then Theta, and whenever they began to deeply visualize, their brain frequencies speeded up to Gamma state. Other researchers found that experienced Tibetan meditators have high Gamma level before, during and after meditation. Higher Gamma waves are noticeable among deep meditators much more than in novice meditators. EEG readings showed that novice meditators reach Alpha or Theta states while Expert meditators usually have high Gamma waves. Those meditators describe their feeling as the sensation of being able to do anything. Researchers at the University of Bonn in Germany concluded that the altered state of consciousness that results from expert-level meditation is in fact Gamma state. Neuroscientists Jurgen Fell, Nikolai Axmacher and Sven Haupt reported in August 2010 paper, that expert meditators (meditators who practiced deep meditation for years or decades) enjoy continuous high Gamma level even without meditating. Brain scans show that deep meditators also develop increased cortical thickness of the brain, and even are associated with “neuroplasticity” which means their brain is able to form new connections and therefore, reach new levels of consciousness. This altered state of consciousness may explain why persons with high Gamma level are not only happier and calmer but also enjoy richer sensory experience. For example, in this state, food tastes better, smell is stronger, and colors are brighter and sharper. They describe this experience as “blissful sensation”. It is interesting to note the paradox of Gamma: whenever the brain speeds up to Gamma level, the sense of time slows down. This is evident during a car accident: The brain enters high Gamma level while time seems to slow down. Neuroscience claims that everyone has Gamma waves, but very few persons have it at a high level, and even fewer persons can maintain it at that high level. This brings us to this important question: How do we get high Gamma level?

One simple answer is meditation. Neuroscientists think that we can train ourselves to get higher Gamma waves. Studies show that meditation and especially deep meditation increases Gamma waves. What is interesting here is what you focus on during meditation. In one remarkable study, whenever monks were asked to focus on love and compassion, immediately their brain sped up to Gamma state. Researchers recently discovered that the brain becomes in Gamma state whenever the person concentrates on higher virtues such as altruism, love, and compassion. This may answer a long-time question regarding how different forms of meditation lead to different states of consciousness. All meditation styles lead to different degrees of Gamma level, but it seems that focusing on faith or love during meditation, is a major key to high gamma level. There is no doubt that higher spirituality is linked to higher Gamma state.

We all experience the exhilarating rush of endorphin release from time to time whether it is from sustained physical activity, eating certain foods or being faced with a sudden threat.

Endorphins are chemicals naturally produced by the pituitary gland in the brain and the hypothalamus in the vertebrates whenever the body is in a state of excitement, pain, intense exercise, orgasm and other states of heightened stimulation. It is a slightly euphoric rush that provides sensations of pleasure in certain circumstances while giving us the strength to go on during moments of stress.

Triggering natural endorphin release is beneficial when we need an extra dose of energy, to ease chronic pain or to help us get to a more balanced level when our energy is running low. Depending on one’s condition, it may not be possible or desirable to undergo strenuous physical exercise to the point where the body releases endorphins. Sexual activity may be absent or impossible at moments when endorphins are needed. Placing ourselves in real danger just to stimulate endorphins would be foolish. Eating excessively to get a rush of endorphins is equally undesirable. Using other chemicals to trigger endorphins is likely to create side effects and complications in our bodies. So how is it possible to enjoy safe and natural endorphin release? The answer is brainwave entrainment.

Brainwave entrainment recordings designed for endorphin release consist of sound frequencies that synchronize brainwaves to the same range of frequencies of the sounds. By shifting brainwaves, it is possible to naturally bring the brain into a state where it releases endorphins. This can be easily understood by looking at modern scientific studies that have demonstrated that brainwave patterns vary during different activities and experiences. Generally speaking, each state of being or activity has a signature frequency range. The idea with brainwave entrainment is to bring brainwaves into the same range of frequencies that occur during endorphin release.

Two popular types of brainwave entrainment recordings, binaural beats and isochronic tones, work differently to bring about the same results. Binaural beats, more well known, influence the brain by sending two slightly different audio signals to each ear through headphones. The sounds consist of repetitive pulses of specific frequencies. Isochronic tones, a more recent development in the field of brainwave entrainment, offer clearer and sharper sound tones that often bring about stronger results. Also repetitive in nature, isochronic tones are a great tool to harmonize brainwaves for endorphin release.

Using a binaural beats or isochronic tones MP3 recording once a day or as needed is a safe way to stimulate the brain into generating endorphins. This type of technology has been widely studied and tested for decades. To use them, one simply has to sit down in a comfortable position and listen to the sounds for 15 to 30 minutes at a time. There is nothing to do except allow the sounds to do their job and shift the brain to the desired frequencies. Using visualizations or other relaxation techniques will listening to the recording is likely to enhance its effects.

We all eventually realize that the key to getting what we want in life is how well our Brain; our Mind works, so that we can use its power to succeed. We have all wanted more mind power at some point – I’m sure you remember those times in school with brain-busting exams. Even more, we want the mind power necessary to excel in our career; the emotional stability to enjoy our relationships. Maybe you’ve even tried drinks, pills, various courses, etc – and not been impressed. Here and now I’d like to introduce you to something different: the world of Brainwave Entrainment (BWE) and its surprising benefits and effects. Sadly, much of what is currently written about brainwave entrainment is simply wrong, and so there’s a real need for people to know the Truth and not the marketing hype out there…

Our brains produce electrical charges in rhythms known as brainwave patterns that are lumped into four groups: Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta. You can see them with an electroencephalograph (EEG) (every good hospital has one.) Each of these brainwave patterns or rates is associated with various states of mind.

“Entrainment” is the tendency for two vibrating bodies to match each other’s vibration. Many scientific studies have shown that the brain does this too, and when stimulated with pulsed sounds (converted to nerve signals by the ear), the brain will align with these pulses. By selecting the desired *rate*, the brain can be naturally led towards the selected brainwave *state*.

The applications for this technology are probably endless – once you get it right. Let me give you 7 of the best in my opinion:

1. BWE Stimulation in the theta brainwave range has been shown to accelerate learning and improve memory.
2. Research shows that using BWE in the alpha range may result in benefits similar to that of Meditation.
3. The brain controls the body, thus benefits have been measured of improved breathing and higher physical energy levels.
4. With BWE, different areas of the brain are stimulated, quieting the mind to allow clearer thought and information processing.
5. Regular users over time report an improved outlook, better emotional balance, attitude, and (thus) improved relationships.
6. It’s often effective at reducing sleep needs and enabling more restful sleep.
7. In time, high stress levels usually nosedive out of one’s life as your brain adapts to a higher level with the BWE’s guidance.

Of course everyone starts from a different place mentally and in their circumstances and so see varying yet still positive results. Working WITH the process can help; it enhances other activities like meditation and visualization. However it’s NOT necessary to do anything if you don’t wish to except take the time out, relax, and listen. Effective Brainwave Entrainment optimizes your mind power to solve your individual issues at the root. It’s easy to use; the hard part was making it *effective*…

Quantum Mind Power with TMM, “The Morry Method”, uses a proprietary protocol developed for presenting the BWE tones to the brain and mind. The end result of this method is much “softer” on the brain/body, letting it work naturally with these “brain beats” (with their associated benefits) as well as any presented information where used (i.e. meditations, hypnosis, affirmations, etc.)

Quantum Mind Power with TMM was designed by the world’s ONLY certified Brainwave Entrainment Engineer, Morry Zelcovitch, and is the result of over 15 years of study, 1-on-1 training from the experts in the field, and over 10 years of personal Research & Development.

The recordings strictly adhere to past and present scientific research including published and non-published clinical and other studies on this “power of the mind” technology. Translation: They are based on and backed up by REAL SCIENCE.

Now anyone CAN change their life – by changing their brainwaves…

We all age at different rates.

How we react to life, how we interpret the stressors in our lives, has a great effect on how we age.

Aging is an inside job. It’s all about how your brain is telling you to age.

The normal passage of time alone isn’t enough to cause disease and damage to your body. Your response to the series of daily events that you experience can determine whether or not you age normally, or age fast and furious, shortening, your life by at least a decade.

How you handle stress affects more than your state of mind, it affects the state of your body.

You don’t die from “old age”…you die from the damage that aging and lifestyle has done to your body.

Stress speeds up your entire system and produces conditions in younger people, that are usually associated with growing old. Too much stress, without relief, will have you age before your very eyes.

How stressed out you feel, and how long you are exposed to the stressor, determines how quickly you will age.

Signs Of Premature Aging-Do You Have Any?

You grind your teeth in your sleep, wearing them down, costing you big time at the dentist office.
Your jaw hurts. Clenching your jaw, when you feel tense or anxious, pulls on muscles in your neck and jaw, leaving sore and tired. You do this when you are awake or asleep.
Your skin itches and you’ve developed a rash. Eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea develop when your system in flooded with stress hormones. Stress changes the immune cells found in the skin, causing them to become stimulated, resulting in itchy, rashy skin.
Your eye twitches, even after you’ve rested it. The twitching can go on indefinitely.
Your gums are sore and they may bleed. Cortisol, a major stress hormone, when in excess, will weaken your immune system, inflaming your gums, leading to a buildup of bacteria in the mouth which can cause disease.
You are nauseous a lot of the time. Stress hormones in the stomach will make you feel sick.
Your blood pressure and cholesterol levels have shot up.
Your blood sugar levels are all over the place, affecting your energy levels.
You’ve put on weight around your abdomen, because your eating is out of control. Cortisol encourages you to eat high carbohydrate, comfort food, in large quantities, while turning off your satiation meter. You eat lots and you never feel satisfied. The extra calories land on your abdominal area, and won’t go away easily, because cortisol is telling your body to hang on to the fat for dear life.
You don’t heal very quickly from infections like a cold or flu, or from your wounds. Cortisol tells your immune system to shut down or attack itself. Cortisol, in excess, is psychopathic.
Your hair is turning grey overnight and when you brush it, large amounts fall out. You are experiencing a chemical imbalance in your body due to stress.
Your skin loses its luster and elasticity, looks grey and falls in blankets of wrinkles around your jaw and under your eyes.
Your joints hurt, your body hurts…everything aches.
You can’t remember things very well anymore. If you do make a list for the grocery store, you’ll leave the list at home. Memories aren’t being implanted in your brain. Cortisol affects the messages between neurons, so many events that you should have no trouble remembering, are not even recorded. Retrieval of past memories is also impaired because cortisol confuses neural firing.
You have anxious and racing thoughts. You might start having isolated panic attacks.
You feel alone and isolated, even when surrounded by people.
You are sad and depressed.

Anyone one of those signs or symptoms could be detrimental to your aging process, speeding everything up.

Fortunately, there is a way to reverse several of these symptoms.

Brainwave entrainment, a scientifically proven technology that introduces an audio and/or visual pulse to the brain with the intention of altering its state of consciousness, can stop the excessive and continuous release of stress hormones. Altering the state of mind, with deliberate repeated tones, puts the mind into a state of healing, repairing damage, and making new neural networks that are much healthier.

Brainwave entrainment can reverse the symptoms of premature aging.

Stress is an inevitable part of your life, it’s not going anywhere, but aging too quickly, doesn’t have to be.

You don’t have to be your own grandmother.

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 all age at different rates and how we react to stress, how we interpret it, determine what it does to our minds and bodies.

How you handle stress, affects more than the state of your mind.

It affects how fast you age.

Brainwave entrainment is a technological tool that can help you change how you perceive the challenges that come into your life, every day, by altering your brainwave frequency to that of a currency that heals and reverses the damages produced by stress response chemicals, including premature aging.

If you don’t give your mind a break from stress, the physical, emotional, and mental effect, could shorten your life.

A study has determined that chronic stress can take 10 – 17 years off a natural life span.

Signs That Stress Is Aging You

· Your skin is grey, lacks lustre and strength, and sags and wrinkles. Your face starts looking jowly. That alone makes you look 10 or more years older than you are. And adding salt to the wound, you have acne.

· Your joints and bones hurt and are weakening. If you are under great stress and fall, you may break bones.

· You are not thinking as clearly as you used to. Stress causes great deficits in cognitive ability. Your memory is interrupted. When stress hormones are flooding your body, your memories may not be implanted in your brain… neural pathways may not form… leaving you with no memory of the event you should be remembering. Retrieval of past memories, become impaired because of poor firing between neurons in the brain, when exposed to excessive cortisol, a stress response hormone.

· You have no sex drive. Your significant other may be just your roommate now.

· Nervous habits you may have had over the years, become more pronounced. Nail biting, hair twirling, smoking etc, are accelerated. You are unconsciously looking for a relief from the stressors.

· Your judgement is poor and you second guess yourself more often than you used to.

· You have constant, anxious or racing thoughts.

· You worry constantly. You experience “free-floating” anxiety. You have trouble judging how important something is… is breaking a nail as serious as forgetting an appointment… sometimes you don’t know.

· You have emotional symptoms that manifest as moodiness, irritability, depression, and unhappiness.

· Your temper is short and hot.

· You feel overwhelmed by just about everything, even bathing or brushing your teeth.

· You feel lonely and isolated, even with people around you.

· You have body aches and pains, and acetaminophen won’t take them away.

· You either have diarrhea a lot or are constipated too often.

· You isolate yourself from your loved ones and friends.

· You have heart palpitations.

· You cry easily, or more frighteningly, you don’t cry at all, even when appropriate.

· You are emotional and overly sensitive and can’t read people accurately.

All of these signs and symptoms can be turned around if you change your dominant brainwave frequency and produce new neural networks that can help you handle stress more efficiently.

Brainwave entrainment can produce new neural pathways in your brain’s grey matter and can help you re-interpret any stressors that come your way. If you change how you interpret the challenges in your life, you’ll produce less stress hormones, and in turn, slow down the aging process.
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 all age at a different rate, but if you live a highly stressful life, with lots of worries and complications, you’ll age faster than the guy down the street that meditates to relieve stress.

Gerontologists claim that the passage of time alone is not enough to cause disease and damage.

So what causes disease and damage? Stress does, or how you process that stress does.

Stress speeds up your entire system and produces conditions in younger people that are usually associated with growing old.

If you have too much stress in your life, and you’re not processing it, you’ll age right before your very own eyes.

Signs You’re Growing Old Too Fast

• You have itchy skin-stress brings about changes in immune cells found in skin causing them to become activated, resulting in itchy skin and rashes like psoriasis, rosacea, and eczema. If you are itching, consider the level of stress you have in your life.

• Your gums are sore-cortisol, a stress-response hormone, when in excess, weakens the immune system leading to a buildup of bacteria in the mouth. Do your gums bleed when you brush your teeth?

• You grind your teeth-you are clenching your jaw muscles because you are feeling tense or anxious.

• Your cholesterol is too high.

• Your blood pressure is as high as your dad’s.

• Your blood sugar is high and you may be developing diabetes.

• You have a big belly.

• You’ve lost your of sex drive.

• You have memory problems.

• You have a hard time concentrating.

• You have anxious or racing thoughts.

• Your hair is graying.

• Your skin is wrinkling.

• You catch more colds and flues.

• Your eye twitches even after rest.

• Your stomach is upset most of the time because stress hormones are dumping into your abdomen. You might even have GERD already.

• You are always in a state of worry.

• You have aches and pains.

• You’re either constipated or have diarrhea.

• Your skin is getting thin and you can see your blood vessels easily.

• Your muscles feel weak-you can’t walk as far as you used to.

• Your bones and joints are weaker and hurt-arthritis.

• You have fluttering or irregular heart beat.

• You retain fluid and bruise more easily.

• You’re losing hair.

• You can’t tolerate alcohol like you used to.

Each of these symptoms can be caused by excessive amounts of stress hormones, activated by the brain, dumping into your body, damaging every system as they go.

Cells age much faster when they are under stress-which is when you are under stress.

Stress can age you ten years, or more, beyond your normal biological age.

Thankfully, relieving stress, can bio-chemically reverse the aging process of your cells.

Brainwave entrainment is a clinically proven technological process that introduces sound pulses to the brain, with the intention of altering its state of mind, from one of extreme stress to one of relaxation and healing.

Entrainment dramatically affects the production of three hormones related to the longevity of life and overall well-being: cortisol in the negative and DHEA and melatonin in the positive.

Changing your brainwaves from beta to alpha or theta, reduces cortisol (stress hormone), and increases DHEA ( a good hormone that pumps up your immune system), and melatonin, (a chemical you produce during sleep that aids in the production of serotonin-a feel good and healing hormone).

Taking a vacation to the relaxation brainwave state, slows the aging process, and can actually reverse much of the damage that stress hormones have on the skin, hair, and other parts of the body.

Research has shown that if the stress response is changed, we can affect the aging process.

Brainwave entrainment can rejuvenate your mind and body and stop you from growing old so fast.

We all accept that we should change to catch the day. The world is changing faster than the day before. Dealing with change in life is vital for success. If you want a better life for yourself, you should learn how to deal with change.

I need to change my life, I want to change my life but I do not know how to deal with change.

These are the words more and more people use everyday. Most of us are aware of the need for a change. You think that you can change and you know how to deal with change. Unfortunately, when you need to take action, you feel like frozen. You hesitate and miss the chance to change.

You know the driving forces of change but somehow they are not strong enough to force you take action.

* Your expectations change
* Your desires change
* Your emotions change
* Your knowledge change
* Your goals change

These driving forces step on the gas but there are other forces which put the brakes on you.

If you can learn the forces which are holding you back from change, you can end these reasons and will not miss a chance ever again. Dealing with change in life is only possible if you can decrease the resisting forces.

7 Reasons why you cannot change your life

Admitting that you need to change your life is a powerful start for change. Now you need to discover the reasons why it is difficult for you to act.

You get used to your life People can get used to everything in life and they are satisfied with it. This is a protection mechanism of the mind. Mind protects itself from depression and anxiety by this way. You can get used to any trouble, problem or any condition. The problem is, getting used to anything means being blind. You cannot perceive the problems as they are or you cannot even notice them.
Justify Your Life Getting used to your life offers you a strong ability to justify your life. You can justify any problem and you cannot say “I need to change my life” anymore. All the problems fade away with your justification.
Leaving the Comfort Zone You get used to your life, you justified every problem and now you are living in your comfort zone. You know what you can and cannot expect. Life is casual. There is nothing new, neither problems nor opportunities. You do not need to change your life because you feel comfortable with it.
Fear of change Fear is the strongest emotion in any situation. You do not know how to deal with change and this is freaking you out. Dealing with change in life brings uncertainty and this means you cannot get ready for something you do not know. Worries about the change use all the power of your mind and you do not have much energy for dealing with change.
Social Environment You want to spend time with the people who are like you. You share the same problems and you understand one another. You want to be a part of this social environment. There is nothing wrong with it unless they are holding you back from changing your life. You feel too comfortable with them that you do not want to waste your time and energy dealing with change.
You do not have goals If you do not have goals, you should not worry about anything. You do not need to change anything unless you have goals. You will swing with the wind and accept everything what life brings. That is hopeless. You must think like that: “I want to change my life for better”
You are not ready to change How can you be? There is no time to get ready for a change. Life is changing so fast that all you can do is to adapt to change. Your mind always find a way for dealing with change.

How to deal with change

Now you know the driving and resisting forces of change. That means you can control these forces. Dealing with change is; increasing the driving forces and decreasing the resisting forces. You have the control of resisting forces. You resist to change yourself although you think you want to change your life. So, you should start the change from inside. You can decrease the resisting forces if you can reach your subconscious with subliminal recordings, brainwave entrainment or affirmations. All of these techniques are great tools to help you overcome your limitations.

Want to tap into the awesome power of your subconscious mind? Then self-hypnosis is one of the best ways to do it. But what if you don’t think you can hypnotise yourself, or you’ve already tried self-hypnosis, and just can’t seem to maintain a trance state? Read on, because this article has a solution.

Why Use Self-Hypnosis?

Self-hypnosis lets you access your subconscious mind. The subconscious is where your inner wisdom resides – tap into this, and you can find the answer to any problem that’s bothering you, or gain new insights that can dramatically improve your life. The subconscious is also where your beliefs are – including limiting beliefs that may not serve you, but which influence your thoughts and behaviour nonetheless.

By using self-hypnosis, you can connect with the wisdom of your subconscious, and you can also replace old limiting beliefs with new, more empowering alternatives.

Why Self-Hypnosis Doesn’t Work For Some People

Hypnotherapy has long been an accepted method of changing beliefs and working through problems. However, finding a good hypnotherapist isn’t always easy, and can be expensive. As a result, self-hypnosis has become extremely popular, since you can learn to get the same benefits without going to a hypnotherapist.

However, some people run into problems with self-hypnosis because they find it difficult to relax deeply and enter the necessary trance state. This isn’t surprising really, since most of us aren’t trained to control our minds and our focus. And while it does get easier with practice, learning to hypnotise yourself can be a difficult task.

However, there is a simple and affordable technology available that can make self-hypnosis much easier, by making it easier to relax and focus – and that’s brainwave entrainment.

What Is Brainwave Entrainment?

Simply put, brainwave entrainment (which can also be referred to as brainwave synchronization or brainwave stimulation) involves listening to a special recording which encourages your brain to enter a deeply relaxed state.

There are three types of brainwave entrainment recording available: binaural beats, monaural beats and isochronic tones. They work a bit differently, but in all cases sounds of specific frequencies are used, and the brain has a natural tendency to match (entrain to) these frequencies.

So for example, if a recording features frequencies that correspond to the 8 – 12Hz range, the brain will follow along as you listen, and will produce brainwaves of similar frequencies.

Since different brain frequencies are linked with different states of consciousness, listening to a brainwave synchronization recording makes it relatively easy to access these various states at will – a feat that would normally take months or years of practice to master.

Using Brainwave Entrainment For More Effective Self-Hypnosis Sessions

Brainwave synchronisation is useful for self-hypnosis, because for it to be effective, you need to enter a light trance state – which usually means your brain is in the low alpha or high theta state (i.e., you’ll be producing brainwaves that are predominantly around 8 Hz in frequency, give or take a bit).

We’ve seen that it can be difficult to maintain such a relaxed yet focused state of mind, but it’s easier with brainwave entrainment, because the recording helps to keep your brain in the correct frequency range. In fact, many of the pre-recorded self-hypnosis tracks that you can buy feature binaural beats in the background, to make them more effective.

So if you’ve tried and failed with self-hypnosis before, don’t give up – give brainwave entrainment a try instead, and you can join the many people who are discovering its benefits.

Want to help the victims of Katrina? Try distant healing!

Distant healing is a simple, effective way to impact someone even if they are miles away. The beauty about utilizing distant healing is that you don’t need extensive training to do it. All that is needed is intent, a sincere desire to help people and a willingness to sit or lie quietly.

The founding president of the American Holistic Medical Association, Dr. C. Norman Shealy, tested distant healing with Richard Gordon (author of “Quantum-Touch, The Power to Heal”). Dr. Shealy discovered that Mr. Gordon’s distant healing was able to affect other people’s brainwaves as measured by an electroencephalograph machine. Upon further testing with his most difficult chronic pain patients, Dr. Shealy found that it brought about significant pain relief. This suggests that people can improve the power of their prayers and affect healing from a distance.

Here is a simplified version of Mr. Gordon’s approach that you can use to send healing to the victims of the hurricane:

1. First, find a quiet space and begin by taking a few deep breaths. As you breathe, imagine that you can actually feel energy moving from your feet to the top of your head on the inhale, and then circulating down to the feet as you exhale.

2. As you continue to breathe, cup your hands and see yourself sending energy to your hands as you exhale. Imagine that you are holding the people that you want to care for between your hands.

3. You can “see” or feel the energy that is running through your body as light, Divine Love, or however you choose to define it. The important thing is to feel it moving with your breath. Feel the Spirit, as energy, coursing in and through your body and then sending it to those in need. Keep breathing!

4. As you breathe, imagine that there is a Divine orchestration which is providing solutions quickly, easily and powerfully in a state of wonderful grace. See that the people being transported to safe places are reunited easily with their families. Envision peace, love and light flowing into the minds of those that are suffering, so that not only will their bodies be cared for, but their minds will become unburdened and touched by joy. FEEL this as you breathe.

Remember that the purpose of this activity is to envision abundance continuing to arrive miraculously to assist, feed, nourish and heal the people in the Southeast. It is an alternative to focusing your attention and energy on everything that is not going well. Knowing that the past cannot be changed, envision creative and supporting solutions beautifully created from the greatest good in people.

5. As you continue with this exercise, holding the residents of the damaged areas in the cup of your hands and extending love to them, allow for any number of healing miracles to occur. Allow inspiration regarding any other actions you can take to help (donate time, money, supplies, hold a fundraiser, etc.).

6. Pray for the highest spirit to take over in their lives. See that nothing is too big for Spirit… for that which created the entire Universe can certainly intervene and bring ease to this situation.

More tips for doing distant healing:

* Connect with the people of the Southeast and surrounding areas, to whomever or wherever your awareness is attracted

* Connect with your own spirituality (whatever that may be)

* You can use a surrogate object to help focus your energy if you choose; besides the cupped hands, you can use a pillow, blanked, or some other physical object

* Experiment with using distant healing when watching the news- allow the loving energy to flow into the news that you are witnessing as you exhale.

* Remember to breathe and feel the energy moving through your body

* Combine different techniques

* Allow your love to grow stronger each time you practice distant healing

* Take action on the inspirations you receive while doing distant healing
