brain waves Entrepreneurs – Your Well Being Should Come Before Profits

Meditation music is music performed to aid in the practice of meditation. It can have a specific religious content, but also more recently has been associated with modern composers who use meditation techniques in their process of composition, or who compose such music with no particular religious group as a focus.

I believe the spiritual aspect of life, especially to entrepreneurs, is very important. While business may be the focal point for an entrepreneur’s life, it’s your outlook on life that shapes what kind of person you are.

Having a strong sense of self can benefit your business in many ways. The down periods and business ‘tragedies’ are not so bad for the entrepreneur that is spiritually centred. Don’t take life too seriously is a phrase that every entrepreneur should take to heart and remember during the ups and downs of business.

I just finished reading a blog post from an entrepreneur friend of mine about meditation. My friend is meditating, and he’s doing it a lot, which I find quite admirable. If he isn’t careful he might give up business all together and follow the path of the monk searching for enlightenment, which may not be such a bad thing and perhaps even more rewarding than business ever could be.

I’ve attempted meditation for many reasons but more often as a method to deal with tough times in my life. I realise the need for meditation and spirituality during all times of life but as I’m sure many of you can identify with me when I say I don’t look for help when times are great, I’m too busy revelling in the excitement.

As an entrepreneur I consider myself quite a creative person. I’m not gifted in art or music but certainly as a writer and business creator/manager I feel that I am definitely more bohemian than most. I think most entrepreneurs feel the same because we are not following the same path a lot of other people take when they work a normal job. Often the thought of a ‘job’ is not appealing and the prospect of working 9-5 for a salary is daunting. We take a risk by being different and expose ourselves to the often adverse opinions of those that believe we are making a mistake by not seeking a standard career. It takes a person of strong character and personal convictions to stand up to what can be a barrage of negative feedback from your peers and family.

I’m also more sensitive to my environment and the people around me. I live a controlled life and make sure that I eat well, sleep plenty and by choice I don’t drink any alcohol. I have nothing against drinking (in moderation), it’s just a choice I’ve made. I don’t party hard on weekends, again by choice because I prefer to get a good nights sleep so I feel good during the day. Because of this I don’t get sick too often (touch wood) and I feel at the top of my game everyday. I’m not saying do what I do, it’s possible to party and drink and have a good time and be a very successful entrepreneur, just remember moderation and balance and your health should always be your primary concern.

A spiritually fulfilling life can be very rewarding. It provides a strong personal framework that offers stability during tough times and allows you to keep perspective when business is booming. It’s not easy to be disciplined but as usual, for those that put the effort in the rewards are there.

More About The Lunar Cycles

“Female nature is profoundly lunar at its biological base”~ Vicki Noble.

The new moon is the perfect time of the month to plant seeds of intention for the month ahead. It is a time of trust, of beginnings and of letting go into intuition. The sign that the moon is in reflects qualities of your inner self and being-ness. Each month there is at least one new moon that will rise at sunrise and set at sunset. Astrologically speaking this means that the sun and the moon are in conjunction. Take time to realign with the moon each month because with practice you’ll discover that you can create all you desire and so much more.

Introducing The Moon Muses The Moon Muses are intuitive guides and question askers that offer insight and wisdom along with exercises to heal and inspire you. They are creative leap takers forming a glowing moonlit bridge between your rational self and your higher self, a self that dwells in pure intuition, clairvoyance (clear seeing), meditative reflection and dreaming. This month you will meet Gemstone Muse, Bloodstone. I encourage all of you to create a Moon Musing Journal to record your monthly moon explorations (more about this in my eClass, Awaken the Divine Feminine).

A Dream Visioning Exercise Throw a party for that special someone! But first take some time to write in your journal about how you envision this ideal, special, romantic party for two. Who is in this vision with you? If you’re not quite sure yet, try picturing someone in your mind’s eye (third eye). Envision a day of bliss together and describe it in your journal.

Creative Prompt Make or find a greeting card to express everything that you’ve just described in your journal and address it to that special someone. Try making a wish upon your card, to help bring this romantic event or special person into your life.

Message from Bloodstone – Secret Wishes! Can you feel the rhythm of your blood pulsing through your veins? You CAN BE the beauty you seek in the world. Take a moment… for balance… for beauty… of grace You are the bridge, you are the Goddess.

A Bloodstone Healing Exercise What fills your heart and soul with gladness? What secret pleasures are you longing to share? Take a pebble in your hand and feel it’s soft smoothness. Now, release one of your secret pleasures by writing it down and do not show it to anyone else. (hush now…what is it?) Then ask yourself: “How can I turn that secret wish into a reality?” And remember to think things through first – Libra is an Air Sign and comfortable in the realm of thoughts and ideas.

I have been a Christian counselor for more than 25 years, and I was also a licensed psychologist at one time. There were many outcomes in therapy that I consider miraculous recoveries.

The trouble was, however, that this work exhausted me. The reason is that I tried too hard. Instead of relying on the power of God, whom I believe had appointed me, I depended too much on my own efforts. When I look back now, I can see plainly that the most dramatic results occurred without my doing, and that I was only a witness.

Therefore I have a message for those who feel called to some ministry: Do not be afraid. You do not have to trust in yourself. In fact, self-confidence will block you as a channel of heavenly power and love. Rely on God alone, and pray for a huge increase in faith. Remember, He does not choose people who are capable: He endows those who are willing.

I think God wants His servants to get busy, for time is short. His intention is to make full use of our gifts during our lifetimes and to prevent them from being dormant, as many are. There is much, much work to be done.

Remember that the purpose of serving others is not only to relieve suffering but more importantly to lead the afflicted to their Maker. If you are a genuine servant, then you know that you are blessed greatly whenever you, under His power, bless another. During such times you sense the Lord’s reality in a rare and most holy way.

I think all believers are gifted in some way. But most have no idea of what has been pre-ordained for them to do. They cannot find out through trial and error: They must ask. They must ask and ask until they know they have the answer.

Then they must prepare themselves by acquiring the knowledge needed, while at the same time seeking a closer relationship with God through prayer and meditation as well as by immersing themselves in all that is beautiful and true.

While earthly knowledge is very limited, learning remains a great virtue. “Study to show thyself approved,” as the Holy Scriptures command. Do not go forth in ignorance to try to serve. In the case of preaching, for example, there are men and women everywhere who know very well what the Bible says. But they have no idea what the scriptures mean.

They are not educated in the history of the Church nor in the teachings put forth throughout history by true saints. I mean by “saint” not just anyone who has been saved but only one who has lived a life of heroic virtue and through whom miracles have been performed, even after the saint’s death.

Jesus did not come to Earth to become a famous author and then to go away and leave us only with a book, as holy as it is. His intention was to establish a living, breathing Church with the authority to teach the truth. He has spoken through His chosen ones throughout the ages, and especially during the very worst of times.

He continues to guide His people, and He always will. But not everyone who proclaims himself to be a preacher, pastor, prophet, or healer is truly appointed. Most are not.

In Jacksonville, Florida, where I live, there are over 3,000 churches, most of them independent, and preaching whatever the so-called pastor fancies. In most cases, their education is sorely lacking. Those with the least knowledge but the loudest music seem to grow the fastest. This trend seems to hold true throughout the United States.

I had a close friend years ago whose pastor was a former exterminator. My friend had a phobia of roaches. When he yelled one time after seeing one in his kitchen, I told him to call his pastor.

My point is that we must rely on God’s power when we minister to another, but we also need to be prepared educationally and never stop being a student.

1. How do I know when it is time to see an Orthopaedic Specialist instead of my Primary Care Doctor?

There are several reasons to consult with an Orthopaedic Specialist for Arthritis Care:

· Your Primary Care Physician feels it is appropriate to do so

· You are not seeing significant relief from your currently prescribed Arthritis treatment regimen

· You find your Arthritis symptoms are interfering with your quality of life

· You find that your Arthritis is getting more painful and your function is getting worse

An Orthopaedic Specialist will provide you with a variety of non-surgical and surgical options to bring pain relief, increased range of motion and a more active lifestyle to help you live fully with Arthritis.

2. What is the best treatment I can do for myself at home for my arthritis?

There are many at home treatment options and lifestyle changes that you can make, on your own, to improve your life with Arthritis:

Lifestyle Changes

· Lose Weight – A recent study found that a small weight loss of just 10% of your body weight can decrease knee pain by 50%. If you are overweight, any weight loss will improve your quality of life by reducing wear and tear on your joints.

· Start Exercising – Light to moderate exercise has proven very beneficial for those suffering with Arthritis symptoms. Walking, riding bikes, swimming or water aerobics are excellent exercises that go easy on the joints while providing many needed health benefits.

· Eat right – A nutritionally sound diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains is key to maintaining health. Eating right while living with arthritis should be a part of your total health plan for every day.

· Stress Reduction – Meditate, Pray, Listen to Soothing Music, Talk to a friend or counselor if you feel you need to do so.

· Join an Arthritis Support Group – Sometimes it helps to know you are not alone. Share your Arthritis experience with others who also have this disease. Learning how others cope can be very beneficial. You might even meet some new friends!

Treatment Options

· Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate – There are several “natural” supplements that may offer decreased pain and increased range of motion

· OTC Pain Medications – Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (e.g. ibuprofen, naproxen sodium) and Tylenol,may provide relief for arthritis flares. Consult with your doctor or pharmacist about interactions with other medications before starting to take these.

· Whatever Works For You – Heating pads, rubbing painful joints with arthritis cream, massage therapy, acupuncture, taking a break from activity…if it helps, then do it!

3. I am afraid of going to an Orthopaedic Specialist – aren’t they always just looking to get me under the knife?

No, Orthpaedic surgeons are trained in surgical as well as non-surgical treatments.

Almost all patients will be placed on a non-surgical treatment prior to considering surgery. You should be seen by a physician who will be able to care for the whole range of arthritis, from the non-surgical to the surgical to ensure comprehensive thinking in your care. Surgery should only be considered a last resort, when non-surgical treatments have failed and your quality of life has diminished due to the pain, loss of motion and reduced activity caused by Arthritis. Currently, there are multiple non-surgical treatment options available to Arthritis sufferers. These include:

· Braces

· Over-the-counter Medications

o Prescription anti-inflammatory drugs (traditional or COX-2)

o Steroid pills or injections

o Cartilage replacement injections

· Alternative

· Glucosamine, Chondroitin sulfate, MSM

· Physical Therapy

Brainwave Entrainment What is Brainwave Entrainment? An Introductory Guide

Brainwave entrainment is a method to stimulate the brain into entering a specific state by using a pulsing sound, light, or electromagnetic field. The pulses elicit the brain’s ‘frequency following’ response, encouraging the brainwaves to align to the frequency of a given beat.

In this article, I will answer the question “What is brainwave entrainment?” with an introductory guide to this simple but powerful mind tool. I will also show you how you can easily use brainwave entrainment to intentionally create the precise states of mind that you desire.

What is Brainwave Entrainment?

Brainwave entrainment, also known as “brainwave synchronization,” is any practice that causes brainwave frequencies to align with a stimulus having a frequency that corresponds to any intended brain state, such as deep, meditative relaxation.

In this article I will introduce you to three of the most common and accessible brainwave synchronization technologies.

Three Common Brainwave Entrainment Technologies

Binaural Beats

The most common and well-known entrainment technology is binaural beat technology. Binaural beats are based on a phenomenon discovered by science some 170 years ago, and work by broadcasting two separate frequencies, one in each ear, in order to tune to a desired frequency.

For example, if you wanted to tune your brain to a 7 Hz frequency, you could play 200 Hz in your right ear, and 207 Hz in your left ear. The brain will compensate for the difference between the two and produce a third tone that will be exactly 7 Hz. This will result in your brain frequency being raised or lowered, and tuned to the desired operating stage. Headphones must be used in order for binaurals to be effective.

Monaural Beats

Monaural beats differ from binaural beats in that they are easier on your brain. With monaural beats, there is no need to balance tones, and therefore no adjustment time is required. Because one tone pulses on and off a specific pattern, it’s easy to produce the desired brainwave frequency quickly. Monaural beats offer superior technology over binaural. Headphones are optional but recommended.

Isochronic Tones

Isochronic tones are the most powerful type of brainwave entrainment, utilizing equal intensity tones, increases in pulse speed, and synchronizing of the brain with the rhythm. Isochronics use a distinct and clean wave form which is designed to harmonize with the brain much more efficiently. Headphones are optional but recommended.

Difference between Subliminal Recordings and Brainwave Entrainment

Subliminal recordings embed subliminal messages into music and sounds, but do not actually change the brain’s activity as brainwave technologies do. Subliminal recordings do not display any demonstrated immediate effects, and there is ongoing debate on whether they ultimately are effective at all.

Brainwave entrainment, on the other hand, works immediately, and is noticeable during and after even the first use. Binaural beats and these other technologies are powerful tools used by neurophysiologists throughout the world to quickly and efficiently achieve desired states of mind.

Is Brainwave Technology Dangerous?

Brainwave Entrainment uses the exact same frequencies that we touch upon everyday in our daily lives. Think of it like a radio tuning dial that allows you to intentionally reach certain levels of consciousness “On Demand”. However, it is a good idea to consult with a doctor before using entrainment technologies if you have heart problems, a history of mental illness, or any other factors that you are concerned about.

Also, keep in mind that brainwave entrainment affects your brain 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. Therefore, you obviously should not use brainwave technology while driving, operating heavy machinery, or performing any other activity that may be compromised during use.

In general, the best time to use brainwave entrainment is when you are seated or lying down, or otherwise unoccupied.

Subtle Differences in Sound Recordings

All of these brainwave technologies are normally delivered embedded in audio tracks that play soothing relaxing music and pleasant sounds of nature. Each recording is designed to tune the brain to a precise frequency to achieve specific desired effects. Although the recordings may sound similar, the beats and tones can be tuned to achieve very precise frequencies designed to pinpoint, stimulate and enhance certain abilities.

Benefits of Brainwave Entrainment

A small sampling of desirable effects experienced by even first-time users of brainwave entrainment include:

1. The body feeling heavy and the inability to move freely
2. Total relaxation of the entire body from head to toe
3. Vivid visualizations, colors, and patterns
4. Separation of the conscious and subconscious mind
5. A sensation of all tension leaving your body.
6. Feeling of calm, relaxed sedation
Brainwave entrainment is a method to stimulate the brain into entering a specific state by using a pulsing sound, light, or electromagnetic field. The pulses elicit the brain? ?requency following?response, encouraging the brainwaves to align to the frequency of a given beat.

This ?requency following?response of brainwave entrainment can be seen in action with those prone to epilepsy. If a strobe flashes at their seizure frequency, the brain will ?ntrain?to the flashing light, resulting in a seizure.

On the positive side, this same mechanism is commonly used to induce many brainwave states; such as a trance, enhanced focus, relaxation, meditation or sleep induction. The brainwave entrainment effectively pushes the entire brain into a certain state.

Brainwave entrainment works for almost everyone. It is a great way to lead your mind into states that you might usually have difficulty reaching, allowing you to experience what those states feel like.

THE HYPE
There is a lot of marketing hype around brainwave entrainment. It is sold with promises of increasing IQ, promoting weight loss, ?ind-tripping? enhancing creativity, concentration, inducing spiritual states and more.

While these claims are not entirely true, they are not altogether false either. In practice, the claims are based on an overly-simplistic view of how the brain and the brainwaves function.
THE RUB
People are very seldom deficient in a certain brainwave type in all areas of their brain. Usually the distribution is much spottier, with an excess in one area and a deficiency in another.

We are all different, especially when it comes to the distribution of our brainwaves. Boosting a certain brainwave state may be beneficial for one person, and emotionally uncomfortable for another. Without knowing each person? starting position, entrainment can be rather ?it and miss?

If brainwave entrainment leaves you with unwanted side-effects (see below) or discomfort, you?e probably encouraging a range of brainwaves that are already excessive in some area of your brain. The way around this is to get a brain map to see what your brain? strengths and weaknesses are, and see what (if any) brainwaves could use some encouragement.

Brainwave software is the term commonly used to refer to binaural beats. Binaural beats come in the form of brainwave CDs and mp3s and can be found on the internet easily. However, you’ve got to be careful because there is a very large variety in quality level.

People use binaural beats for a multitude of reasons. They can be used by children all the way to the elderly. Their function is to stimulate the brain in such a way that creates a particular brainwave state. The brainwave state can range from extremely calm to energetic and attentive.

In general, people use brainwave software or binaural beats for pretty popular interests. Some of the most common ones are:

Increase creativity
Increase energy
Improve sleep
Lose weight, stop emotional eating
Astral projection
Become more intuitive
Develop psychic powers
Balance your Chakras
Attract Love
Increase confidence
Improve focus and attention
Achieve deeper levels of meditation

Since I’ve started using binaural beats with my meditation, my meditation experiences are much deeper and longer. I feel a lot less anxiety throughout the day and actually have more energy. I now meditate with binaural beats every day.

Using these binaural beats has really inspired my creativity as well. I am not only much more effective with my time management, but I also get less distracted by things throughout the day, am much more patient, and have become more creative than ever before. I am able to think outside the box much quicker and come up with solutions to obstacles and problems quickly. This is because my anxiety levels is much lower and I am able to think about things clearly from an emotionally centered point of view.

In today’s goal-oriented society, excessive tension has become a “normal” state of being. Even as success gurus advocate ever higher performance standards, medical doctors and spiritual leaders warn us of the health damage from stress, and the loss of quality of life when we find ourselves sliding down a slippery slope to an increasingly stressful lifestyle. Our minds are constantly active, offering incessant commentary due to over stimulation from media, high levels of noise pollution in urban environments, and the constant activity of busy schedules. Light pollution from electric lighting and electronic media interfere with sleep, causes stress through chronic sleep deprivation. For so many of us living a modern stressful lifestyle -with our rational mind in overdrive – relaxing into a meditation can all too easily become yet another struggle, a difficult endeavor that seems all too easily to lead to just more frustration and stress. So just what is this state of meditation, which is so highly touted as being good for body, mind and spirit? And even more, how do we get there?

Perhaps for many, part of the key will be to do a bit of research with an open the mind, to discover more about the wide variety of tools to enhance a meditation practice. So often the human mind will concoct a limited idea of what meditation is. In fact, according to Mayo Clinic website on stress management, there are many approaches. Each individual is different, and what may work well for one person is simply not going to be a good fit for another. I can’t tell you how often people will say that they love Tai Chi, but found Yoga to be less interesting. Or the opposite, preferring Yoga to Tai Chi. Others prefer a sitting meditation every morning, while the mind is calm. Even in choosing a sitting meditation practice, there are many different forms, just as there are so many different cultures.

Most of us already have experienced meditative states, perhaps without realizing it. We are told that the creative, dynamic state of being is our natural human heritage, and that we have far greater potential than what we consider to be normal. There are many methods for reaching a meditative state; artists know it, runners call it “zone”, singing, music, playing with the kids, gardening, and a walk in nature. Even when we wish to do a quiet sitting meditation, we may want to begin the meditation initially by choosing ways to get us into a comfortable and relaxed state, and make the meditation experience enjoyable, even effortless.

Many dynamic meditation practices seek to enhance self-reflection and spiritual awareness. When meditation is needed for stress management, or to find that place of quiet mind, clarity and creativity, striving and trying hard will very likely defeat the purpose. Think of how many times, when learning something new, we are told to “stop trying so hard and just do it”. Because effort and control generate tension, and tension is the opposite of the state we wish to reach during meditation, we need to get away from the attitude of embarking on a mental discipline or control.

For many, especially mothers with small children who are so busy with 24/7 responsibility for others, it is helpful to begin small; start with a few minutes. Try the simple breathing exercises found in the stress management section on the Mayo Clinic website, or on Dr. Anthony Weil’s website.

Keep it simple, and start small. Integrate the things that you already love, those are your strengths. Do some good research, and explore different meditation practices to find out what resonates with you. Because our logical mind tends to quickly categorize everything into logical boxes, we may think of meditation as being limited to the image of an ancient sage, impossibly enlightened beyond our wildest hopes, sitting on a mountaintop far from the fuss and fury of modern life. One of my teachers points out that this kind of a spiritual retreat is easy, but that retreat to a remote mountain certainly isn’t a choice that most of us would want to take. The whole idea is to find a way to create and maintain a holistic lifestyle that works for who we are and where we are now. Why would we want to leave our friends, family, beloved places we call home, our vocation, and very likely abandon our whole purpose in life and the gift we have to share with others?

There are many approaches to meditation, which include the classic sitting meditations, walks in nature, painting (especially “en plein air” – painting nature and landscapes outdoors at the site), playing music, and dance. You can find blogs online written by people who talk about their experiences with the meditation of running. One of my Tai Chi teachers told us that before he studied Tai Chi and Qi Gong, he had been a defensive back for a college football team. He would get into a zone where he could envision the movements of both teams, four plays ahead of time. Another friend, a holistic nutritionist, massage therapist and three-times participant in Hawaii’s Iron Man Triathlon, told me that once she breached the “runner’s wall”, she found herself in a “runner’s high”, where she experienced a state of clarity and calmness, and solutions to difficult problems would come freely.

Find out what brings you into what athletes call “the zone”. Remember that each individual is different. In many of the Native American traditions, the ceremony of the sweat lodge and vision quest is to seek spiritual connection and personal inner strength, sometimes translated as a personal medicine. Physician and author Deepak Chopra writes that when his children were four years old, he taught them to ask, “What is my talent”, and “how can I help.” Spiritual leaders of all faiths tell us that each has their own strengths, their own gifts.

Use “triggers” to establish the feeling of being in the place of that inner space – this can be dedicated clothing, a pillow, a particular spot, a dedicated time of day. Make an appointment with yourself, much like brushing the teeth or taking a shower. An artist friend of mine always prepared herself for painting by putting on her “painting shoes”. A yoga practitioner or runner may put on specific practice outfit, triggering the association with the practice.

Use meditation or healing music to carry the session. A friend of mine who is a personal trainer always trains to music. She changes her playlist to fresh music every few weeks. I have included several of my favorite sources at the end of the article.

Take a class to “kick-start” your practice, or go on a retreat. One of my friends began her lifelong practice of yoga with an early morning yoga program on TV, before the children woke up. Many years later, when she was in her late 70’s and doing ballroom dancing for fun, she was still doing yoga, and her doctor told her to keep doing what she had been doing, and told about her to his other patients as a model example.

Here are a few of my favorite resources:

Brainwave Entrainment Increase Your Wealth With Blistering Speed With Subconscious Mind Power

Brainwave entrainment is a method to stimulate the brain into entering a specific state by using a pulsing sound, light, or electromagnetic field. The pulses elicit the brain’s ‘frequency following’ response, encouraging the brainwaves to align to the frequency of a given beat.

Wealth. Money. Financial independence. Many strive for these, yet few attain them. It certainly isn’t due to a lack of resources or information. Stroll into any bookstore and you’ll find stacks of tomes describing wealth generating methods from affirmations to meditation. It would seem that the dream of being able to become a millionaire is only a couple books, or workshops, or study at home DVD sets away.

So why so much lack? Why so much poverty and want? I have a friend who does repairs on homes. Homes that have fallen into foreclosure, and he has been hired to fix them up so they can be resold at a profit. The number one item left behind? Books and self study programs on how to become financially independent.

There is one secret that can get you to financial freedom and independence quicker than any other method, scheme or secret pyramid club. Unleashing your massive subconscious mind power. Your subconscious mind power has long been known throughout the ages as the fast secret to creating income regardless of your station in life. And you are about to learn how.

Unless you uncover your hidden blocks to wealth, no matter how many books you read or seminars you attend, you’ll never achieve the success you deserve. That sounds harsh, but it’s true. The good news is that with some simple self directed mind control and self hypnosis, you’ll easily attract to you the riches and financial security to you that you desire. The good news is that is rather simple.

First, create a powerful, positive, emotional filled statement, in the present tense, describing your ideal financial situation. Positive means saying something like “I enjoy my multiple streams of income,” instead of “I don’t have any more debt.” Present tense simply means to say it as if it were true now, and some vague time in the future. Powerful means that you fill it with the emotions of gratitude and appreciation. Once you tap your subconscious mind power, wealth is only a few meditation sessions away.

Now that you’ve got your statement worked out, it’s time to say it to yourself. Get in a quiet, relaxed position. Slowly count down from ten, down to one, taking a deep breath. This will help to decrease your brainwaves, the collective electrical activity in your brain. Our brainwaves are normally in the beta, or excited state. By relaxing and counting down from ten, you’ll lower your brainwaves from beta to alpha. In the alpha state, your mind is much more open to suggestions.

Keep repeating our mantra to yourself a few times. Create as much feeling as you can. Do this two or three times a day. It may seem a bit basic and simple, but don’t underestimate how much subconscious mind power you have. It controls all. Your memories, your heartbeat, the blood pulsing through your veins. By slowly convincing it that you are indeed rich, it will come to pass.
Brainwave entrainment is a method to stimulate the brain into entering a specific state by using a pulsing sound, light, or electromagnetic field. The pulses elicit the brain? ?requency following?response, encouraging the brainwaves to align to the frequency of a given beat.

This ?requency following?response of brainwave entrainment can be seen in action with those prone to epilepsy. If a strobe flashes at their seizure frequency, the brain will ?ntrain?to the flashing light, resulting in a seizure.

On the positive side, this same mechanism is commonly used to induce many brainwave states; such as a trance, enhanced focus, relaxation, meditation or sleep induction. The brainwave entrainment effectively pushes the entire brain into a certain state.

Brainwave entrainment works for almost everyone. It is a great way to lead your mind into states that you might usually have difficulty reaching, allowing you to experience what those states feel like.

THE HYPE
There is a lot of marketing hype around brainwave entrainment. It is sold with promises of increasing IQ, promoting weight loss, ?ind-tripping? enhancing creativity, concentration, inducing spiritual states and more.

While these claims are not entirely true, they are not altogether false either. In practice, the claims are based on an overly-simplistic view of how the brain and the brainwaves function.
THE RUB
People are very seldom deficient in a certain brainwave type in all areas of their brain. Usually the distribution is much spottier, with an excess in one area and a deficiency in another.

We are all different, especially when it comes to the distribution of our brainwaves. Boosting a certain brainwave state may be beneficial for one person, and emotionally uncomfortable for another. Without knowing each person? starting position, entrainment can be rather ?it and miss?

If brainwave entrainment leaves you with unwanted side-effects (see below) or discomfort, you?e probably encouraging a range of brainwaves that are already excessive in some area of your brain. The way around this is to get a brain map to see what your brain? strengths and weaknesses are, and see what (if any) brainwaves could use some encouragement.

meditation music Three Principles Of Communication With An Unborn Baby

You should be able to find several indispensable facts about principles of communication with an unborn baby in the following paragraphs. In my experience, the principles of strong belief, intention and communication help me to communicate with my unborn babies at the earliest moment.

Strong belief

The most important is the strong belief in communication with the unborn baby. When you believe strongly in communication, you will try your best to find ways to reach the unborn baby. However, when you are not certain about your belief, you may miss the opportunity to communicate with the fetus.

I had a strong belief in communication with my unborn baby from the earliest stage as I had practiced with my first and second children previously. At six weeks of my third pregnancy, I asked my third child 3 times,”If you are a girl, you can make a movement to tell me.” However, there was no response from him. I asked my third child,”If you are a boy, you make a movement to show your answer.” Surprisingly, I felt him moving three times after I asked him the question.

Then, I reassured my baby that I would accept him for whom he was unconditionally. I could feel a sense of relief and somehow I sensed even my baby felt the same way. On the 20th week of my pregnancy, I could not believe it when my doctor confirmed that my third child was a boy. I felt a sense of joy that I had been able to communicate with my third child so much earlier.

Intention

One of the secrets I found which make communication with the unborn possible, is to first have a deep and intense desire and yearning to communicate and bond with your baby during pregnancy.

Prenatal communication needs the intention of the mother to want to communicate with her unborn baby. I had a strong need and yearning to communicate with my third child. I started to communicate with my third child when he was about 5 weeks old in my womb. Then, I was bleeding. I rested and I kept talking and asking my baby to heal himself and to be healthy again. I believed in him, that he had the capacity to heal himself. And it was like a miracle when one day later, the bleeding stopped. I was so relieved and happy because he had responded to my message.

Commitment

Commitment is to put your belief into action. Many people may admit belief but do not go with it with real conviction by their actions. Mother should develop a vision of the unborn child. She must have a strong determination to communicate and reach out to the unborn baby.

With strong belief, intention and daily practice, you will be able to communicate with the foetus inside you. You are the closest person to him or her. Whatever you are thinking or feeling will pass on to the unborn child. Through dialogue, meditation, music, imagination, tapping, sending positive and loving messages and so on, mothers can communicate with their unborn babies.

You cannot predict when knowing something extra about principles with communication with unborn baby will come in handy. If you learned anything new about communication with unborn baby in this article, you should put your learning into practice and share your experience with others.
