Brain Entrainment

Research shows that when two different frequencies are presented to each ear through stereo headphones(binaural beats),the entire brain becomes entrained to a frequency equal to the difference between the two tones. For example, frequencies of 200 hz and 220 hz produce a binaural beat frequency of 20hz.

What can we use entrainment for?

Lucid dreams,altered states, meditative states, increased intuition and awareness, accelerated learning, elimination of insomnia; we can use sound waves to carry us into the higher frequencies of consciousness, where profound personal transformations can take place.

Electrical activity in your brain can be measured by EEG (electroencephalography).

The electrical activity changes depending on what a person is doing.

BETA waves (14 - 100 Hz) dominate the normal waking state of consciousness. When attention is directed towards the outside world.

ALPHA waves (8-13.9 Hz) are present during dreaming and light meditation when the eyes-are closed. Alpha is also the state in which the window frequency known as the Schuman Resonance occurs. This is the frequency of the earth’s magnetic field.(More on this later.)

THETA waves (4-7.9 Hz) occur in dreaming sleep.

DELTA waves (.1 to 3.9 Hz) are experienced in deep meditation and deep sleep.

If you can make your brain wave patterns change at will, you can create conditions that are better suited for certain types of activities.

Meditation

Meditation balances the brain through some form of focusing, such as repeating a prayer or mantra, focusing on breathing, staring at a candle or other point of focus, or by many other techniques. As a person meditates, they move from a beta brain wave to an alpha. With (much) practice, the person meditating moves into the deeper theta and finally delta state and experiences expanded awareness and transcendental states.

Brain entrainment using auditory stimuli allows this process to happen much quicker and easier.

Lucid Dreaming

Lucid dreaming is when a person is aware that he or she is dreaming while the dream is in progress. During lucid dreams, it is often possible to exert control over the dream characters and environment, as well as to perform otherwise physically impossible feats.

“In the lucid dream you look around and realize that the whole world…is all something that your mind is creating”
- Stephen LaBerge.

Lucid Dreaming usually takes place in REM sleep. Brain entrainment can facilitate the brain wave states found in naturally occurring sleep cycles, including REM.

Great discussion! You’ve got a good blog going here.

As a musician and composer, I read Megabrain in 1992. I was impressed with the research but not
with the scarce amount of effective music. For the last 16 years, I have become a true believer in the
effectiveness of entrainment and resonance. I have
released many CD’s using key frequencies as well
as binaural beats and other modalities. Music can
be the “true Medicine” of the future. When I get
stressed I reach for my “Audio Pharmacy”. Check out
Harmonic Bliss and Deep Release.

Meditation is a great way to connect with your spirituality. Not only that but we can actually heal our mind and body through meditation.

Pretty interesting, created a dream journal over at http://www.luciddreaming.com

Has good info on this topic.

Hello Matt. Normally I delete comments that don’t have much to say but I will keep this one because lucid dreaming interests me and your site is very informative.
Thanks, TRCoach
