What Is Brainwave Entrainment?

First You Must Understand The Impact Of Sound!

Sound is a most powerful force and one that affects us on many different levels.

Sound is the result of air molecules vibrating outwards in waves and, depending on how many times per second the waves hit our eardrum, determines the frequency (speed) - or tone - that we hear.

To put it ridiculously simple; As we hear different tones, our brain can interpret these 'sound patterns' into an emotion, feeling or call to action.

Consider how years ago companies used gentle tones within elevators of early skyscrapers to ease the fear and tension of the occupants - elevator music!

Imagine Jaws without its theme tune! A horror film without tension building and nerve jumping soundscapes, a chic flick without its romantic sound tracks - get the idea?

Sound can affect our brainwaves, changing our moods, triggering emotions and imagination. It has the power to create ambience and a dynamic atmosphere!

You see because our brainwaves dominate our moods and activity, certain sounds can stimulate the frequency of these brainwaves there bye altering our state of mind.

Scientific research discovered that the frequency of the electrical pulses in the brain determine which brain wave state we are presently working in.

The most commonly categorized frequencies are;

Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta and Gamma.

Though naturally there is never only one absolute brainwave speed operating at any one time, there is usually one that dominates the rest and therefore dominates our moods and actions:

How Do Brainwave Entrainment Sessions Work?

Brainwave Entrainment or Brain wave Stimulation is a planned and coordinated sound and/or light session.

60+ years of research by Neuroscientists, Psychologists and expert sound technicians regarding the effects and uses of sound on our health and mental well being are involved in the creation of our brainwave entrainment sessions!

This science has proven that deep mind relaxation can easily be achieved by using this method!

**However, care should be taken for those who suffer from epilepsy, fits and seizures due to the nature of the repetitive pulses. Also not recommended for those who are pregnant. See our T&C's

HOW?

The correct way to guide the brain toward the desired brainwave pattern is to first create pulses of sound frequency that the brain neurons will begin to synchronize with - like a room full of people who all begin to dance in rhythm to the beats of a music track.

For a deeper effect light pulses can also be used (see article on brainwave generator)

Once this synchronization is estimated to take place, usually about six minutes into an uninterrupted session, the sound pulses begin to gradually change speed (frequency) to guide - or entrain - our brainwaves to the target frequency and thus produce altered states of mind.

Our sessions range from inducing deep relaxation & sleep to offering possible relief from a range of conditions.

Some of our sessions can help to correct certain imbalances or limitations within the brain.

*Our warnings described in the T&C's must always be read before use!

What Are Isochronic Tones?

The tones mainly used in our sessions are Isochronic tones and tone based pulses. This is because they provide a very consistent, clear cut rhythm, they stop and start exceptionally fast allowing the brain to synchronize more easily and precisely. They produce an extremely strong response and provide the most effective way to stimulate the brain.
