What is Brainwave Entrainment?

Brainwave Entrainment is not just a passing fad—it has been researched for over 70 years.  The brain will normally go through different brainwave frequency cycles every day, and each frequency cycle will produce a different level of consciousness.  For example, your brainwave frequencies are different while you are sleeping than when you are awake.

Sounds waves can alter the receiving and operating frequencies of the brain, a process known as Brainwave Entrainment or Brainwave Synchronization.  This is possible because the brain has a “frequency following” response, which is a phenomenon that occurs naturally where the brain tends to change its dominant EEG frequency to match the dominant frequency of an external stimulus (in this case, sound waves).

The History of Brainwave Entrainment

Brainwave Entrainment can be traced back over the centuries back to Shamanic societies that used drum beats to enter a relaxed state.  In modern times, Brainwave Entrainment was studied scientifically and many experimental methods were developed.  In 1973, an important breakthrough was made by Gerald Oster, who discovered Binaural Beats.

In 1981, Arturo Manns published a study showing the effectiveness of Isochronic Tones.  This was confirmed by others, and studies continued into the 90’s exploring the potential of using brainwave entrainment to treat ADD and learning disorders, PMS, Chronic Fatigue, Chronic Pain, Depression, and more.  Research continues today and the results have been so promising that modern clinical EEG machines are often equipped with brainwave entrainment devices.

Binaural Beats Brainwave Entrainment

Originally, it was thought that certain frequencies were impossible to target with brainwave entrainment because they were inaudible to the human ear at a level below the 20 Hz range.

The discovery of Binaural Beats made it possible to target these low frequencies by broadcasting two slightly different frequencies into each ear and allowing the brain to tune into the difference between the two frequencies.  For example, if you want to tune the brain to a 7 Hz frequency, you would play 200 Hz into the right ear and 208 Hz into the left ear.  The brain adjusts to the difference between the two and tunes into that frequency.

Since separate frequencies are delivered to each ear, binaural beats must be listened to with headphones or speakers placed at each ear.  The one downside to binaural beats is that they are made of shallow sound waves.  Although it is a good technology, there is definitely room for improvement.

Monaural Beats Brainwave Entrainment

Monaural Beats are easier on the brain than Binaural Beats.  There is no need for the brain to balance the two different frequencies so there are no necessary adjustments.  One tone pulses on and off in a specific pattern, so it is easy to produce the effect you are looking for quickly and easily.  Another benefit is that headphones are not required, but they are still recommended for superior sound quality.

Isochronic Tones Brainwave Entrainment

Isochronic Tones are the most effective and powerful of the brainwave entrainment sound technologies.  By using equal intensity tones and increasing the pulse speed, Isochronic Tones synchronize the rain with the rhythm of the tones.  There are distinct and clean wave forms that are designed to harmonize with brainwaves more efficiently.  Headphones are not required, but still recommended for the best sound quality.   

How Brainwave Entrainment Works

Manually tuning the brain into different frequency levels allows you to effortlessly enter Alpha, Theta, and Delta states of brainwave activity.  These brainwave frequencies are typically associated with deep relaxation, meditation, creativity, learning, and deep sleep.

Brainwave entrainment recordings target specific frequencies to achieve the desired state of consciousness.  Each recording is different and tuned for a specific purpose.  Within the Alpha, Theta, and Delta frequency ranges, there is an array of frequency levels which all produce different effects and stimulate specific abilities.  For example, 4.2 Hz and 6.3 Hz are both within the Theta range, but exhibit totally different characteristics.  One may be targeted to meditation and another may be targeted to creativity.

Extensive studies have been performed to determine which behaviors and mental states correspond with each brainwave frequency level.  These studies have linked metaphysical abilities to exact frequency levels.  Below is a chart of the four most common brainwave classifications.  Each classification can be broken down into frequencies that correspond with a different part of the conscious and subconscious mind.  Each classification has different possible variations and studies have shown that different combinations produce different effects.

Common Physical and Mental Effects

You can expect strong results when using brainwave entrainment because they directly stimulate the brain by altering the operating frequency.

Some of the common physical effects are:

• The body feels heavy as if you are moving in slow motion
• You will feel total and deep relaxation of the entire body from head to toe
• You will experience vivid visualizations, colors, and patterns
• You will be able to separate the conscious and subconscious mind
• You will feel a sensation of all tension leaving your body as you become free of any anxiety or stress
• You will feel sedated as if entering a sleep state

Some of the common mental effects are:

• You will feel deeply relaxed, peaceful, and profoundly happy
• You will be able to visualize your goals and put yourself into a successful state of mind, as if you have already achieved your goals
• Your thoughts will slow down and eventually cease as you become completely present and in the moment
• A sense of connectedness to the Source, the Universe, and the highest level of consciousness
• You will awaken the next morning with a clear head
• Your memory and focus will improve after a week or two of use

Even though each brainwave entrainment recording is designed for a specific purpose, experiences will differ from person to person.  Some people are more open while others refuse to let go.  Some may have “wild experiences” while others see more mild, relaxed effects.

It is important to understand that you will never experience anything you are not willing to because you will always be in control.  Brainwave entrainment will not force you into any state of mind; rather, you must be willing to enter into that state of mind willingly.  You must actively listen to the recordings and relax or you will not achieve the desired results.

Who Should Use Brainwave Entrainment?

Brainwave entrainment can be targeted specifically to help people who:

• Suffer from high stress levels and cannot relax and enjoy a present state of mind
• Would like to meditate or already practices meditation
• Wants to visualize or manifest more effectively
• Suffers from insomnia or has trouble falling asleep or staying asleep
• Wants to develop psychic and metaphysical abilities, such as ESP, aura viewing, lucid dreaming, past life regression, or astral projection
• Wants to be able to reach a relaxed state quickly and easily
• Wants to expand their mind and explore their consciousness

Who Should NOT Use Brainwave Entrainment

Brainwave Entrainment should NOT be used by:

• Epileptics or those susceptible to seizures
• Pregnant women
• People who have a history of heart problems or use a pacemaker
• People who have a history of mental illness
• People who are driving or operating heavy machinery
• People who do not like “letting go” and experimenting with the power of the mind

Is Brainwave Entrainment Safe?

Brainwave Entrainment uses the exact same frequencies that we experience naturally every day of our lives. They allow you to reach certain levels of consciousness on demand.  You should consult with a doctor before using Brainwave Entrainment if you have heart problems, a history of mental illness, or any other factors that concern you.

Also, keep in mind that Brainwave Entrainment affects your brainwave frequencies dramatically while in use.  You can go into a state similar to sleep or suddenly find yourself functioning at your most mentally active and creative level while using them.  For that reason, you should NOT drive or operate heavy machinery while using Brainwave Entrainment recordings.

Where Can I Get Brainwave Entrainment Recordings?
