Dear friends hi
This month I thought we might have a look at Brain Waves.
But first we would like to thank you for your support and patience, and wish
you a very happy holiday Break, a prosperous new year in your chosen
subject, and lots of good happenings.
Brain Waves…
Studies have shown that the vibrations from rhythmic sounds have a profound
effect on brain activity. In shamanic traditions, drums were used in
periodic rhythm to transport the shaman into other realms of reality. The
vibrations from this constant rhythm affected the brain in a very specific
manner, allowing the shaman to journey out of his or her body.
Brain pattern studies were recently conducted by researcher Melinda Maxfield
into the (SSC)
Shamanic State of Consciousness. She 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, which
transport the monks and even other listeners into realms of blissful
meditation.
The gentle pulsating rhythms of Brain Sync , Light and sound tools and
Munroe institute tapes and CD,s act in a similar fashion, 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 modern technology we can tune our
consciousness to dial-in a wide variety of brain states.
BETA Alertness, Concentration, Focus & Cognition
ALPHA Relaxation, Visualization, & Creativity
THETA Intuition, Memory, Meditation & Vivid Visual Imagery
DELTA Deep Sleep, Healing & Detached Awareness
Like sound waves, the brain has its own set of vibrations it uses to
communicate with itself and
the rest of the body. EEG equipment distinguishes these waves by measuring
the speed with
which neurons fire in cycles per second.
Beta waves range between 12-40 HZ. The beta state is associated with peak
concentration,
heightened alertness and visual acuity. Nobel Prize Winner, Sir Francis
Crick and other
scientists believe that the 40HZ beta frequency used on many Brain Sync
tapes may be key to the
act of cognition.
Beta waves also help
* Focused attention
· Alertness
· Active mental activity
· Waking consciousness
· Active thought process
· Energized state
Alpha waves range between 8-12 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 also help
* Moderate relaxation while awake
* Stress reduction while working
* Lucid mental states with less tension
* Calmness and pleasant drifting feelings
* Positive emotional state
Theta waves range between 4-8 HZ. Theta is one of the more elusive and
extraordinary realms
we can explore. It is also known as the twilight state which we normally
only experience
fleetingly as we rise up out of the depths of delta upon waking, or drifting
off to sleep. In theta
we are in a waking dream, vivid imagery flashes before the mind's eye and we
are receptive to
information beyond our normal conscious awareness. Theta has also been
identified as the
gateway to learning and memory. Theta increases creativity, enhances
learning,
reduces stress and awakens intuition and other extrasensory perception
skills.
Theta also help
* Inspirational bursts of creativity
* Accelerated learning with audio motivational tapes
* Deep relaxation
* Increased Awareness
· Vivid mental Imagery
· Development of goals
· Increased feeling of Pleasure
·
Delta waves range between 0-4 HZ. Delta is associated with deep sleep. In
addition, certain
frequencies in the delta range trigger the release of Growth Hormone
beneficial for healing and
regeneration. This is why sleep, deep restorative sleep is so essential to
the healing process.
Binaural beats.
It has been noted that if one were to strike two tuning forks of slightly
different tone
pitch at the same time, one would find that there were three distinct tones
rather than
two. The third tone is the difference in frequency of the two tones. For
example, if
one fork resonated at a frequency of 202Hz,(cycles per second) and the other
resonated at a frequency of 200Hz the resulting third tone would be the
difference of
the original tone, and would modulate at 2Hz. These modulations are know as
beats.
A phenomena was discovered by Dr. Gerald Oster in 1973, at the Mount Sinai
school
of Medicine in New York. Dr. Oster had been investigating the effects of
sound waves
on the brain. He discovered that when he introduced, through headphones, two
different tones separately to each ear that the brain would resonate at a
frequency
that was the difference of the two tones, ie. 400Hz introduced to the left
ear and
406Hz introduced to the right ear would result in the a solid EEG
(electroencephalagram) reading of 6Hz. He dubbed this phenomena binaural
beats.
Before the binaural beat phenomena was discovered, there was no way to
entrain or
synchronize brain waves. Studies of brain waves were limited to the mental
state of
the test subject, and the waves that were produced as a result of that state
rather
than what states could be produced as a result of altering brain wave
frequencies.

Scientist have discovered that at certain frequencies (particularly in Alpha
and Theta
range), the majority of the devices have been found to:
alleviate stress
promote long lasting and substantial reductions in subjects experiencing
anxiety
facilitate deep physical relaxation and mental clarity
increase verbal ability and verbal performance IQ
synchronize both hemispheres of the brain
invoke vivid spontaneous mental imagery and imaginative creative thinking
reduce pain, promote euphoria, and stimulate endorphine release

Balance is the key to mastery in a human being. Meditation is the foremost
technique for achieving balance and addressing the challenge of human
mastery. Throughout history, such mastery was the result of many years of
arduous training and hours-a-day spent in isolated meditative practice. In
our contemporary Western society, very few of us devote our time to create
such a disciplined and rigorous lifestyle.
Yet, the desire to move beyond our boundaries, to explore the nature of
transcendental experience and to witness the peace which lies at the heart
of our being is natural to human beings in all times and all
cultures.
As Westerners, we seek a more efficient way, a method that is congruent with
our fast-paced lifestyle and non-traditional belief system. We have found
the most effective method available today for achieving balance and
addressing the challenge of human mastery are Light and Sound tools.
http://www.altered-states.net/mind/textlsinfo.htm
We meditate for a variety of reasons - stress relief, increased focus and
creativity, relaxation, and improved health and well-being. Meditation is
among the most popular "alternative" therapies, and has proven so effective
that it is now being utilized as a natural and holistic response to stress
and illness in mainstream hospitals and corporate offices throughout the
U.S.A. Science has shown that meditation balances the hemispheres of the
brain, resulting in improved brain function and increased levels of
neurochemical opiates, the "feel good" chemicals within the brain. These
natural opiates act as mood enhancers, reducing stress and delivering the
natural high of life with no undesirable side effects. This balanced
condition is experienced by the meditator as the peaceful, blissful, state
of awareness which results from the release of significant levels of
neurochemicals.
http://www.altered-states.net/mind/photoson.htm
>From a contemporary scientific perspective, meditation produces certain
measurable effects within the human brain. Based on this research, we now
understand that the meditator's journey involves the
actual alteration of the electrical activity within the human brain. The
studies reveal that brain wave frequencies progressively slow down. Balance,
or synchronization of the two sides of the brain increases over time and use
of Light and Sound systems and, there is an increase in the production of
neurochemical endorphins.
The result is the gradual development of whole brain function through
hemispheric balance.
http://www.altered-states.net/mind/david.htm
Light and Sound Meditation has combined state-of-the-art technology and a
scientific
understanding of brain function to deliver the state of whole human
expression in radically accelerated time frames.
Research has shown that regular usage of the deepest levels offered by Light
And Sound systems
delivers the same brain wave profiles exhibited by long-term meditating Zen
monks in up to one third the time.
With this technology, anyone can address the actualization of their full
potential without spending the
majority of their time in daily meditation. Rather, it can be accomplished
within the context of a busy contemporary lifestyle.
http://www.altered-states.net/mind/museshar.htm
Yet light and Sound Meditation does much more than simply synchronize the
hemispheres of the brain. In addition to improving our day-to-day lives,
regular use also opens us to very expanded states of awareness in which we
are able to access a powerful energy within ourselves which profoundly
influences all levels of our being.
As meditation deepens from ordinary waking consciousness into transcendental
states of awareness, the brain-waves decelerate in frequency from
predominately beta (12-40 Hertz) to include alpha (8-12 Hertz) and theta
(4-8 Hertz) and eventually delta (0.-4.0 Hertz) frequencies.
In the lower alpha and upper theta frequency ranges, the subconscious opens
revealing its stored data. As the brain-waves deepen into the lower theta
and delta frequencies, the unconscious also opens and its more primal data
is likewise accessible. At the lowest end of the delta range is the
threshold to the fourth dimension or state of witness consciousness.
Fortunately, we live in an age when science and technology can now be used
to support the ultimate human journey, the journey to the Source of our
being. Light And Sound is at the forefront of this exploration - bringing
together science and spirituality, East and West, right-brain and
left-brain - to create a practical living mysticism which has meaning for us
today.
>From stress reduction to enlightening experience, from light relaxation to
deep transcendental meditation Light and Sound systems are recognized
worldwide for the transformational experience they unfold.

A SITE DEDICATED TO
TRUTH, PEACE, JUSTICE, LOVE AND FREEDOM
If we want world peace, we must let go of our attachments and truly live
like nomads. That's where I no mad at you, you no mad at me. That way,
there'll surely be nomadness on the planet. And peace begins with each of
us. A little peace here, a little peace there, pretty soon all the peaces
will fit together to make one big peace everywhere.
LET PEACE AND PEACE AND PEACE BE EVERYWHERE..
