| Vibrations from rhythmic
sounds have a profound effect on our brain activity. In shamanic
traditions, drums have long been used to transport the shaman out of his
or her body into other realms of reality through the use of constant
rhythmic vibrations. Researcher Melinda Maxfield, studying the Shamanic
State of Consciousness, found that the steady rhythmic beat of the drum
struck four and one half times per second was the key to transporting a
shaman into the deepest part of his shamanic state of consciousness. It is no coincidence that 4.5 beats, or cycles, per second corresponds to the trance-like state of theta brain wave activity. In direct correlation, we see similar effects brought on by the constant and rhythmic drone of Tibetan Buddhist chants that transport the monks and even other listeners into realms of blissful meditation. The gentle pulsating rhythms of Brain Sync tapes act in a similar fashion, yet because the frequencies are computer generated, they are precise, consistent and can be targeted to induce highly specific and desired brain states. Just as we can tune a radio to get a particular station, with Brain Sync technology we can tune our consciousness to dial-in a wide variety of brain states. You have your very own signature brain wave activity, unique to you. It has a rhythm and pattern - and it incorporates Beta, Alpha, Theta, and Delta frequencies at varying levels over the course of a day as your brain modulates them to match your activities. Brain Sync audio programs amplify a single frequency or a carefully balanced combination of frequencies to achieve a specific purpose. So how do you choose the programs that are right for you? Consider the qualities each frequency promotes as we describe them below. Select the audio programs that best support your personal desires, preferences, and goals. Beta
You are wide-awake, alert. Your mind is sharp, focused. It makes
connections quickly, easily and you're primed to do work that requires
your full attention. In the Beta state, neurons fire abundantly, in
rapid succession, helping you achieve peak performance. New ideas and
solutions to problems flash like lightning into your mind. Beta training
is one of the frequencies that biofeedback therapists use to treat
Attention Deficit Disorder.
When you are truly relaxed, your brain activity slows from the rapid patterns of Beta into the more gentle waves of Alpha. Your awareness expands. Fresh creative energy begins to flow. Fears vanish. You experience a liberating sense of peace and well-being. In biofeedback, Alpha training is most commonly recommended for the treatment of stress. |
Alpha-centered programs
help you tap your creativity and are excellent for problem solving,
finding new ideas and practicing creative visualization. Choose Alpha
programs when you want to attain deep levels of relaxation that are so
essential to your health and well-being. Alpha waves range between 7-12 HZ. This is a place of deep relaxation, but not quite meditation. In Alpha, we begin to access the wealth of creativity that lies just below our conscious awareness - it is the gateway, the entry point that leads into deeper states of consciousness. Alpha is also the home of the window frequency known as the Schuman Resonance - the resonant frequency of the earth's electromagnetic field. Theta
Going deeper into relaxation, you enter the elusive and mysterious
Theta state where brain activity slows almost to the point of sleep, but
not quite. Theta is the brain state where magic happens in the crucible
of your own neurological activity. Theta brings forward heightened
receptivity, flashes of dreamlike imagery, inspiration, and your
long-forgotten memories. Theta can bring you deep states of meditation.
A sensation of "floating." And, because it is an expansive
state, in Theta, you may feel your mind expand beyond the boundaries of
your body.
Long, slow, undulating. Delta is the slowest of all four brain wave
frequencies. Most commonly associated with deep sleep, certain
frequencies in the Delta range also trigger the release of Human Growth
Hormone so beneficial for healing and regeneration. This is why sleep -
deep restorative sleep - the kind that Delta frequencies help induce is
so essential to the healing process.
