Brain-Wave Technology – A Dynamic Way to Change Patterns and Improve Health
--By Coalie Darsey-Malloy
Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins.
-Jim Rohn
I was first introduced to brain wave technology in the mid-eighties by a Winnipeg massage therapist. Since that time I have continued to use a variety of brain wave technologies. They have assisted me in transforming limiting patterns and augmenting my goals.
Robert Monroe was one of the founders of this breakthrough technology. He began doing research in different levels of consciousness in the 1970s after having an out-of-body experience that expanded his awareness. Then in 1978 he started The Monroe Institute in Faber, Virginia, as a nonprofit education and research centre devoted to the exploration and expansion of human consciousness. Robert Monroe's pioneering work with hemispheric synchronization sound patterns (Hemi-Sync®) inspired an entire industry of mind/brain products and technologies.
This audio-guidance technology works through the generation of complex sounds and signals that are used to influence brain wave activity. The multi-layered patterns (heard through headphones) assist the brain by producing a third sound called a binaural beat that encourages the desired brainwave activity and synchronization process. When the left and right sides of the brain are working together, the mind is in an optimal condition for improving performance in all areas of life.
Over the years, the process has evolved and there are an unlimited range of sound frequencies that are effective for a variety of given applications. For example, the sleep products incorporate predominately delta frequencies and the learning products are predominately beta. (Beta equals awake and alert; alpha and theta are slower frequencies, and delta is sleep level.) Each title is usually 30 to 40 minutes in length. Even hearing-impaired individuals can receive the benefits of balancing left and right hemispheres of the brain. The frequencies are carried to the brain by the bones in the ear canal.
Sleep Help
Brain synchcronization assists people with actuve minds and has assisted some of our clients with a dependency on sleep meditation and has assisted with a host of other symptoms including:
achieving deep body and mind relaxation
helping reach goals
releasing self-limiting thoughts and behaviour
opening to abundance and financial freedom
enhancing my creativity, writing abilities and productivity
assisting me in managing stress and anxiety
increasing my focus and concentration
achieving a healthy weight and fitness
entering deep meditative states more easily
In our work with clients we suggest the use of brain-wave technology for a three-week period. When asked if this technology is similar to brain-wave technology and hypnosis the answer is that both systems open doorway to expanded states of awareness. In this state, one can be fully aware of the environment such as sound, light and temperature – while receiving greater insight into past lives, out-of-body experiences, and information from spiritual allies or one’s higher self.
Neither brain-wave technology nor hypnosis can make people do anything they do not choose to do. It is always possible to maintain value systems, including choosing to follow suggestions from the therapist or brain-wave CDs, or not. The process is akin to self-hypnosis and leaves control in the hands of the listener.
Depending on the producer of brain-synchronization content ther may be subliminal recordings embed particular thoughts in the mind of the listener by recording words at sub-audible levels and high speeds. The CDs from the Monroe Institute do not as the verbal instructions and auditory-guidance they use process involves specific blends that augment goals and listener’s intentions.
What is Hemi-Sync®
Hemi-Sync is a trademarked, state-of-the-art audio technology that encourages coherent brainwave activity based on the natural functioning of the brain. Our brains produce waves or patterns of electrical activity. Different patterns indicate different mental states, such as rest (occipital Alpha), deep sleep (central Delta), meditation (central and frontal Theta), and normal daily awareness (wide-spread Beta). It is scientifically verifiable that sound can influence brainwaves, and thereby influence consciousness. To take this a step further, specific combinations and sequences of sound can lead the brain into states such as deep relaxation, sleep, or keen alertness. This is called Frequency Following Response.
When the brain receives a different frequency in each ear, through the use of stereo headphones or speakers, it generally responds by “hearing” a third frequency, the difference between the two incoming frequencies. This will bring both the right and left hemispheres of the brain into unified activity; thus the term hemispheric synchronization, or Hemi-Sync for short.
When this third frequency is related to a certain state of consciousness, the synchronized brain tends to produce the same state through the Frequency Following Response.In addition to verbal instructions, this auditory-guidance process involves carefully constructed blends and sequences of stereo sound patterns designed to evoke beneficial brainwave states through neurological mechanisms.
Right and left auditory input is combined in the brainstem's superior olivary nucleus and routed to the reticular formation that, in turn, uses neurotransmitters to initiate changes in neurological activity in the thalamus and cortex.
Hemi-Sync does not employ the use of subliminal suggestions. The versatility of Hemi-Sync gives the basic technology an almost limitless range of applications for mental, physical, and emotional well-being. The technology simply and effectively allows you to involve your own total capabilities and direct them as you choose. It can be compared to a powerful software program that facilitates extraordinary levels of performance and productivity, guided by the intention and desire of the listener.
There are so many more wonderful products in this technology. The methods can and frequently do lead to greater self-mastery. They assist listeners explore realms beyond current level of awareness.
