If you own a PC you will no doubt have experienced the slowing down of the operating system over a period of time, and will have been directed to perform a defrag of your hard drive to straighten out the organisation of the file system and improve the access speed. This is like a tonic for the system, and can make a visible difference in performance.
In a similar way, our brains can get befuddled during a day’s busy activity, whether you’re in a job that entails a lot of brain activity or not. Stressful situations in any area of life can cause excessive brain activity leading to lack of focus and concentration, causing headaches and creating self-perpetuating poor performance levels.
Brainwave entrainment uses sound technology in the form of monaural beats, binaural beats or isochronic tones to produce changes to the brain which will cause a positive effect on the whole metabolism. Although binaural beats have been used for a long time to help with meditation and relaxation techniques, they can also be used for the opposite affect and are very effective in providing an instant energy boost by taking you quickly to a delta brainwave pattern.
The delta state is that which is experienced during a rejuvenating sleep and provides us with a similar boost of energy to that following a catnap. Imagine being able to boost your energy at any time of the day knowing that you will be able to face the rest of the day feeling fully rejuvenated and full of vitality.
Just 10 minutes at lunchtime can prepare you for a busy afternoon and if you are a busy housewife (or husband) you can recharge your batteries using one of the longer sessions for a longer and more prolonged affect.
There are brainwave entrainment downloads available to provide varying results depending on individual’s requirements and circumstances.
There are three main types of brainwave entrainment sessions :
Binaural beats – These have been around for a while now and are used by many people looking for help with their lives. They are designed to be played by earphones or headphones for full effect. By playing different frequencies into each ear the result is interpreted as a beat equal to the difference of these frequencies. Because our ears have a hearing threshold above a level of 20hz or so, by playing frequencies of say 104hz into one channel and 100hz into the other, a beat of 4hz will be produced resulting in a delta state.
Monaural beats – These use tones of an equal frequency pulsing on and off and are played synchronously into both ears. They can be listened to using normal speakers or headphones if preferred and have a more beneficial effect than binaural beats.
Isochronic tones – The third type of brainwave entrainment uses the latest sound technology and headphones are preferred but optional. The intensity of tones and cleaner waveforms produced have more effect than either binaural beats or monaural beats and have a more pronounced effect, which harmonizes better with the human brain.
