Brainwave Entrainment Weight Loss With Hypnosis Made Simple

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.

Obesity is increasing at a rapid rate all over the world, and has become one of the biggest challenges for those living in urban areas. People try all sorts of things, mostly physical exercises in order to shed some weight, but only a small fraction considers taking healthy foods. With time most people get used to these habits making the battle to lose weight even harder. This is where weight loss with hypnosis becomes useful, although it has not been scientifically proven to yield substantial results.

First of all, weight loss through hypnosis is not direct rather it occurs after a person’s image of themselves, their ideas and eventually habits have been altered. Consequently, a person starts losing weight. Hypnotherapists combine images, suggestions and words and introduce them to a person’s mind with the aim of altering their body image, thought and belief system. In this way, a person is equipped to embrace healthy habits for losing weight. Using hypnosis to lose weight is only possible if it is used alongside other methods such as exercising.

It is important to keep in mind that losing weight using the hypnosis method is not for everyone. In order for one to be receptive to this method, they have to be willing to be hypnotized. Secondly, one must have full trust in the hypnotherapist and the methods they will use for the process. If one is not willing to submit their minds to the instructions of the hypnotherapists, going through the process could be a waste of time. Apart from hypnosis, one can use binaural and isochronic beats to help them lose weight. These beats help in reprogramming the subconscious mind by producing frequencies ranging from 4-8Hz, which stimulate the Theta state of the mind.

This state is equivalent to a deep trance and is easily achieved by experienced mediators. Monaural beats also work very well in weight reduction, although most people claim that isochronic tones are much more effective. These forms of brainwave entrainment mainly target a person’s general health over their weight in order to change the mindset. By changing a person’s focus from that of weight loss to that of health, the method begins to tune one into a positive state of mind taking advantage of the fact that like attracts like. If a person focuses on the negative aspects of losing weight, they attract more of what they do not want.

By using binaural beats, which have been scientifically proven to work on anyone, one is enabled to focus on positive body health aspects. Consequently, one attracts better health and eventually attains many healthy bodies in the process. Using binaural beats for weight loss is much cheaper and easier to use than other methods such as diet programs and use of weight loss pills. Of course, there are still other things one needs to do in order to achieve this, but using binaural beats makes the process a lot easier and enjoyable as compared to weight loss with hypnosis.
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 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.

ESP stands for extra sensory perception. Sometimes it is referred to as the sixth sense. ESP does not have a single meaning and relates to many related types of extrasensory perceptions. Peter Hurkos, a Dutch window cleaner got these powers when he fell on his head during a Nazi air raid. On awakening he discovered that he had extrasensory powers, as he could visualize that the man next to him on the hospital bed was a British spy.

He could also visualize that a German Gestapo (secret police) squad was rushing towards the Hospital. He accordingly warned the agent who did the disappearing act. This is recorded in his book Psychic. What Peter Hurkos developed was one type of ESP. There are however some other types of ESP which have now come to the fore. These are

Clairaudience

This is the supposed power to hear things outside the range of normal perception. This is an extrasensory power and involves a person being able to hear the physical voice from a great distance. Sometimes it may also refer to the capability to hear not just the physical sound but sound from another dimension, sounds that cannot be heard by other humans or recording equipment. As an example a person having this power may be able to hear voices or thoughts of the spirits of persons who are no longer alive. Such people often act as ‘mediums’

Buddhist thought lays great stress on this power. It mentions that this power can be achieved by meditation, which transports man to a higher level of consciousness. It means activating athird ear and once this is activated the man can listen to the music from the celestial world or the Gandharva

Clairsentience

This extra sensory perception power helps a person acquire psychic knowledge primarily by feeling and touch. Generally the term refers to a person who can feel the vibration of other people. Such people can sense the impossible, just by the sense of touch like catching the hand of a person. This is a fairly common power in India where many Pir (Moslem holy men) can divine things just by touch. It is a power that is visible and potent.

Clairvoyance

This power is a psychic power where a person can perceive or have knowledge of a past or future event. Sometimes he can see vivid images of what has happened or is going to happen to a person. In simple language it is the power of seeing beyond everyday existence. It is a sixth sense and is an addition to the 5 known senses. Generally this refers to the development of a third eye and men who have this power have vivid images flashing before their eyes. These images could be literal images or representations in colors or signs or signals. The images can come in any way. To understand this is easy and at the same time difficult.

How to Achieve these Extra Sensory Perception Powers

Researchers feel that these powers are latent in all human beings and need only a trigger to emerge. We must understand that in the human brain there is a gland know as pineal gland. Earlier, that is many eons ago this gland was fairly large almost the size of a golf ball, but now it has shrunk in size and is the size of a pea. This has happened as man has evolved to the present form as per the theory of evolution. Generally ESP powers have something to do with this gland though there is no conclusive evidence about it.

There are many methods by means of which this ESP power can be ignited’ some of them are detailed below.

1. By spiritual practice

The power can be unleashed by spiritual practice, but for this a guide or a yogi is a must who can show you the path. Ancient Hindu religious texts bring out the fact that clairvoyance is one of the Siddhis. These are skills that are acquired by intense regimes of meditation and personal discipline

A case in point is that of Lobsang Rampa who was able to develop a ‘third eye’. He claimed in a controversial book called the Third Eye that he was a Tibetan lama in his previous incarnation and had developed a third eye by an elaborate ritual of a hole being drilled in his head. After that he developed powers to see people in their true colors as well as have ES powers. He claimed the spirit of the Lama had entered his body.

2. Yoga

This is another path to achieve ESP. The yogis mention that in case a man is celibate and do the Yogic asana regularly with stress on the sir asana, then the spermatozoa will collect in the body and go up the spine by sir asana and touch the brain and ignite extra sensory powers. Swami Shradanand, who is now no more claimed to have these powers or Siddhis through yogic asana and prayers.

3. Act of God

ESP can also be achieved by an act of god like in the case of Peter Hurkos. Hurkos told his researchers that he saw vivid pictures in frames of the event or person. But he also mentioned that sometimes his power inexplicably got turned off.

Research in Extra Sensory Perception

The world of ESP is vast and exciting. Much research is on in the USA. From World War II until the 1970s the US government has been funding research into ESP. The USSR earlier and China now is also conducting research in ESP in big way.

The initial CIA-funded project was later renewed and expanded and the Air Force saw military possibilities in ESP. In 1979, the Army’s Intelligence and Security Command also initiated research in ESP. Apart from the military research much research is on in the civil field.

meditation music Stressed Out? This Amazing Technique Will Save Your Sanity!

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.

deep sleep music | meditation tune
Stressed out? That phrase accurately describes most of us
today. The demands made on us… by job, family, love
relationships… the multiple streams of sensory input that
bombard us daily… the often pessimistic media predictions of
our future… can devastate our overall sense of well-being.

All these factors add up to cause “circuit overload”, and
can ultimately lead to emotional burnout! Most of us seek to
relieve the tensions inherent in today’s modern life one
way or another– with drugs, alcohol, or, yes, even escape
into the kinder, gentler climate of internet surfing.

Well, I’m about to let you in on a little secret here… a
technique for stress relief that not only reduces your
tension and anxiety levels, it provides proven physical
benefits as well. If practiced on a regular basis, this
practice can CHANGE YOUR LIFE, as it did mine.

So what is this mysterious, secret technique? Okay, now hold
onto your hat… it’s called Transcendental Meditation (or
TM). Now, don’t “X” out of this page without hearing me out!
If you have heard of it, you are probably reminded of the
zoned-out hippies of the 70s, sitting cross-legged in the
floor, with flowers in their hair, while the mystical
strains of Ravi Shankar sitar music plays softly in the
background.

It’s true. The love generation did embrace Transcendental
Meditation. But they were actually onto a good thing! TM has
absolutely nothing to do with political philosophy or
religious beliefs. It is a medically proven stress buster
that is not only easy to learn, but a snap to practice. All
it takes is 20 minutes, twice a day… to a calmer, happier,
healthier YOU!

Medical research has been carried out in numerous well-
documented studies proving the physical benefits to be
enjoyed. Meditative practices are increasingly offered in
medical clinics and hospitals as a tool for improving health
and quality of life, and as an adjunct in treating
debilitating diseases.

Scientific research has proven that TM can facilitate stress
reduction by: lowering heart rate, breathing rate and blood
pressure; decreasing plasma cortisol levels (the “stress
hormone”); it decreases anxiety and tension, improves sleep,
and has been shown to decrease alcohol, cigarette and
illicit drug use.

Transcendental Meditation is considered a viable therapy for
panic disorder , generalized anxiety disorder, depression,
ulcers, colitis, and chronic pain. It is considered to be a
valuable adjunctive treatment for moderate hypertension
(high blood pressure), prevention of heart attack,
atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries), arthritis
(including fibromyalgia), cancer , insomnia, migraine,
allergies, asthma, and some neurological disorders as well.
These include people with Parkinson’s disease , multiple
sclerosis , and epilepsy. Whew! What a valuable practice
meditation has proven to be! No, it’s not a cure-all. Just
one valuable tool in your stress-fighting arsenal.

Overall, a 1995 report to the National Institutes of Health
on alternative medicine concluded that, “More than 30 years
of research, as well as the experience of a large and
growing number of individuals and health care providers,
suggests that meditation and similar forms of relaxation can
lead to better health, higher quality of life, and lowered
health care costs…”

What can this mean for you? The impressive physical and
medical benefits notwithstanding, we just recommend it to
you as a simple, easy, cost-free method to deal with stress
and increase your overall happiness and satisfaction with
life. It has done this for us, and we know it can do the
same for you.

We’ve all been going through tough times. Growing pains. And for many of us, no matter what we do, we don’t seem to make any progress.

It just feels like one obstacle to surmount after another, and it doesn’t matter what we try, we’re just getting nowhere.

Here’s the thing –

We are all Consciousness manifesting into physical bodies. As Consciousness, things are easy and effortless. Our bodies experience density and difficulty.

Now it is possible as Consciousness to instantaneously transform. You can go from being stuck in a traffic jam to whizzing along to your intended destination just be shifting yourself from your current Universe to one where everything is unfolding in your favor.

When you’re creating on a body level, it takes longer. Our bodies exist in time and space, where change is an evolutionary process. You plant seeds, water them, wait for them to sprout.

Nothing is ever not happening, but sometimes it takes a while for change to become evident.

You might be going through soil prep (and experiencing a lot of fertilizer in your life). You may have seeds you’d forgotten you planted, germinating beneath the surface.

Or if you feeling burned out, your field may be laying fallow. You may need a period of rest before your field is ready to plant again.

When you stop doing, you can start being. Creating as Consciousness comes from a state of being.

It’s a completely different approach to manifestation.

It doesn’t mean sitting on your meditation cushion for hours every day chanting yourself into a state of Beingness.

It means stepping into the reality as Consciousness where you already are the changes you want to experience.

There is *a lot* going on in the world right now. People are experiencing extremes – extreme emotions, extreme challenges, and being affected by other people’s extreme stresses. If you’re feeling that right now, do yourself a favor and take a time out.

It may be ten minutes to go outside and walk around the block. It may be turning off your phone or TV – a “media break” for a period of time. If you listen to music, maybe give yourself a period of silence.

You don’t need to be knocked about by external forces. They may be distractions that keep you from focusing within, where real transformation can happen. When you take your focus off the external world and tune into your internal world, that’s where you can experience Yourself as Consciousness.

As Consciousness you know that there is enough, and that you are enough.

Bring your attention back to yourself and you might discover that there’s no need to “do” anything. You can appreciate all that is going on without your efforts. You’ll know, within the fiber of your Being, that all is very, very well.

Brainwave Entrainment What Can Brainwave Meditation Do For You?

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.
cd meditation | brain waves binaural beats
Meditation is a well-researched topic. Science has shown repeatedly that it does, indeed, have an affect on the mind and its frequencies. Only a few minutes of meditation can alter the way you feel on a sluggish afternoon. Over the years, brainwave meditation, also known as brainwave entrainment, has been getting the attention of researchers who have conducted studies into the efficacy of this technology.

Short, Powerful Sessions

Most people do brainwave entrainment with a CD or some other form of audio. During the 30-60 minute sessions, the participant actively uses his or her mind to visualize various scenarios, as guided by the narrator. Not all CDs have a vocal component.

Binaural Beats

To create the binaural beat, one frequency is heard in one ear and another frequency is heard in the other ear. The brain takes those two frequencies and figures the difference between them, creating an additional beat, known as the binaural beat, which is inside of the mind. These beats are capable of altering your brain patterns, leaving you feeling energized, relaxed and ready for the remainder of your day.

Brainwave Frequencies

The Delta frequency is between one and three Hertz. In this state, deep sleep occurs. In Theta, four to seven Hertz, deep relaxation, meditation, improved memory and focus all take place. Alpha frequency, 8-12 Hz, is light relaxation, improved learning and positive thinking. Beta, 13-25 Hz is the normal state of alertness. The specific brainwave meditation audio that you use depends on what state you want to reach. All of the benefits of meditation, including stress reduction, enhancing the immune system, reduction in anxiety attacks, decreasing breath and heart rate, among others, still occur during brainwave meditation. The binaural beats simply enhance was is already occurring during meditation.

Solutions To Common Problems

Brainwave meditation can assist people with chronic insomnia, release headaches, and help people draw on their own natural creativity, focus and energy. In addition, this brain entrainment technology has been used to assist people with anxiety-related mental illnesses, children with autism and other developmental disabilities, attention deficit disorder, addictions and depression. People who have a seizure disorder should not do this type of meditation.

Backed By Scientific Research

When this type of meditation was initially discovered, many people were skeptical of its validity and thought that it was just some new age mysticism that they could easily dismiss. Over the years, with more and more research proving its use, brainwave meditation has come into the mainstream. Researchers continue to explore the many uses of this technology.

meditation music Seven Tips That Can Teach You How To Meditate

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.

meditation music to sleep by | meditation cd
Many people want to learn how to meditate. There are many different techniques that you can learn, but you need the right setting and circumstances in order for you meditation to be the most effective. Here are seven of the ways to prepare yourself for meditation.

One of the first tips for meditating is having the right location. You need to pick a spot in your house, office, or wherever that have the least amount of outside distractions. This can mean a quiet spare room, a space in your bedroom that you can set aside, or some people find that sitting quietly in their car can be the best place. You also need to make sure that no one disturbs you. This can simply mean telling your spouse or your kids that you need a few minutes of ‘time out’ time.

Tip number two is dealing with outside distraction are also going to bring you out of your meditative state. A lot of people use music or other sound recordings to help them weed out any outside influences. This is all good, but it is important that whatever you want to listen to is not distracting in itself. Your favorite rock band is going to be more distracting because you are going to be more focused on the song or the beat than meditating.

The third tip for meditation is time. You need time to not only meditate, but also get into the mood for it, (this leads to the fourth tip: deep breathing exercises, which we will come to in a moment). The right time to meditate also coincides with distractions, so many people either meditate first thing in the morning before the world wakes up, or just before going to bed after the kids are asleep, and the sounds of the world are starting to settle down. Either way works good, and as you get more and more in tune with your body and mind, the actual time you meditate will not matter as much.

The fourth of the most important tips for meditating is deep breathing. This is where you focus your energy on breathing. You inhale through your nose, hold it for a few seconds, and then let it out through your mouth. This actually does two things. It focuses your attention on the here and now, and allows an abundance of oxygen to enter your body. Both of these help to calm your nerves, let go of the tension you may have, and most of all, relax.

The fifth tip is that you will need to meditate wearing clothes that will let you relax. This means loose fitting, comfortable materials that aren’t going to bind or pinch. This also lets you get relaxed as well, allowing you to concentrate more on meditation than the waistband of your pants cutting into your skin, or that collar being a little too tight.

The sixth tip for getting in the mood for meditation is posture. Some say that you should sit cross-legged with your back straight, but some people just can’t hold that pose, or even get into this position. The idea is that you sit in a comfortable position, but not so much that you get sleepy, because meditation is a different state of mind than sleeping. Sitting as much upright as possible helps to not only align your body, but also your inner energy, so that it can easily flow up and down.

The seventh important tip is to keep doing your meditation, no matter what. If you are just starting out learning how to meditate, don’t expect instant results, and don’t beat yourself up if you don’t get it the first few times. Even the most powerful gurus didn’t start out this way, they started just like you. The important thing is that you keep at it, you will see results.

My Old Life, as I now call it, was complicated on every level. Spending most of my time and energy pleasing others, feeling I somehow had to prove myself. I was a busy Mum and a wife, carving out a career. I was a daughter, a sister and a good friend to many. All the while trying so hard to find that work/ life balance that had so far eluded me.

Unbeknown to me at the time, I was stretching myself too far. Taking on extra shifts, helping at the children’s school while racing the clock to keep the home fires burning.

My friends, family and work colleagues would often ask me how I managed to do so much? I couldn’t tell them I was questioning that myself, along with my sanity!! The happy go lucky person they saw was exhausted, emotionally confused and drained. I thought if I worked harder and smarter I could get myself back on track. Looking back now, it is funny how things work out. Trying to work harder and smarter pushed me to my breaking point. I was suffering from burn out. Go figure!

I needed a month off work to recharge my batteries while thinking about the direction I wanted my life to take in the future, and at what cost to my health?

It felt quite foreign to me; to be resting instead of ‘DOING’. after all I was usually running around managing everything perfectly before wasn’t I??

I decided my life was too precious to not enjoy it. My burn out had forced me to make some changes toward removing stress from my life. I needed some help to find direction in my life, so I decided to have a psychic phone reading to help me find the clarity I was needing.

This was to become my new life mantra! Here are some of the ideas I came up with to create my new life, to walk my walk, talk my talk and live by my Burn Bright – Not out mantra.

Follow Your Heart

Previously I had walked (or in my case RUN) to the beat of everyone else’s drum. I burnt out trying to live up to what others expected of me. I was not honouring myself, I felt disappointed for not following the direction my heart was offering. I decided to get to know who I was again. Taking time to find out what made my heart sing. I wanted to lift my heavy energy and discover what brought me enjoyment. I began to shine when I allowed myself to follow my heart and walk my own path.

See the Flip Side

I taught myself, one step at a time to watch my thoughts and feelings.

Rather than getting bogged down in the ‘drama’ learn to flip the situation/ problem. I chose to look at what benefits may actually come from this so called terrible situation. What opportunities may come after this storm passes? What does this situation actually make ME feel, rather than joining in on what everyone else feels, I learnt to take the time to have and explore my own thoughts and opinions.

It is not always easy to look beyond the problem at hand, or to hold positive thoughts when things seem to be going wrong.

Sometimes what seems like a bad situation can be an opportunity to make positive change. Be the change you want to see is a message that was frequently shared during my phone psychic readings.

Compassion verses Competition

Taking the time to stop and listen to someone who is having their own problems or difficulties can be a healing process for both parties. It is human nature to be competitive and at times feel the need to defend ourselves or behaviour. If we are too busy stressing over our own issues, we are more open to being competitive and defensive, often leading to being misinterpreted, misunderstood and at times creating relationship breakdowns.

We have all found ourselves at times feeling the need to compete against others, or sit in judgement of their choices.

Refocus your perspective, stop and find your compassionate side. Allow others to have their time to express their thoughts and feelings, while choosing not to become entangled in their energy. Once you start being aware of your thoughts and actions, allowing your compassion for others to be present, you will feel more positive within yourself. Meanwhile those you showed compassion and understanding will feel more validated. They will feel their problems, opinions and perspectives are also important.

I call that a win win situation.

Release the build up

When we live in overdrive like ‘my old life’, our heads are rarely in a state of clear thinking. Often feeling heavy frustrated and confused, we may think we have everything under control. Only to find ourselves juggling many unfinished projects at once.

Due to the lack of clear thinking, we often remain stuck in this never ending cycle of non achievement, often repeating the same cycle over and over again. I don’t need to tell you how draining that can be.

Find ways to de-clutter your thinking.

You will find yourself achieving more, using less energy in your progression, often finding yourself becoming more efficient in many directions of your life. There are no hard and fast rules to spring cleaning your mind, so take the time to experiment with a few different activities to see what works best for you.

The following suggestions may help, or find your own favourite activities that allow your head some quiet time.

Meditation, reading, gardening, walking, listening to music, spending time in nature etc. Are all great ways to release the build up in your head? There are endless ways to find this peace and quiet, start finding yours today.

Toxic Situations and Relationships

As you practise ways to simplify your life, you may notice some of the relationships and situations in your life, may very well be one of the areas that you need to take a good look at. For example – you may come away from certain people or situations feeling drained and totally wiped out. Take some time to recognise how good or not so good you feel when you around certain people or repetitive situations. Honour yourself by either reducing the time you spend interacting with these people and make a conscious point not to keep repeating unhealthy experiences or relationships.

Small changes to the way you feel about who you are and where you are heading in your life often bring big changes to the way you now handle things. You will find yourself attracting new and more like minded people and positive opportunities into your life.

Is Your Compass Correct

I was burning the candle at both ends while working hard to build a strong and successful career. Although I was enjoying what my work involved, I would often find myself feeling tense and stressed by the time I arrived at work. I found myself struggling to stay motivated and productive. I started to notice feeling physically sick each morning as I drove to work.

I could no longer ignore that fact this uncomfortable feeling was associated with my work. I learnt to be guided by my inner compass. I needed time out to create moments of peace. Moments to think about what was right for me, to feel what it was like to feel my own feelings.

If it felt right, I would do more of it. If it felt wrong, I stepped away from it, consciously distracting my thoughts and feelings back to what felt right. One step at a time guiding myself back in the right direction.

I chose to resign from my position and follow what felt right. Now I am not saying if you are having a hard time at work that you just throw in the towel and give up! Just take the time to ‘check’ your feelings before, during and after work.

Check for ways of improving difficult situations. Once you can identify what is not working you can then find ways to correct them and change. Affirmations are great for creating positive changes in life. Imagine how great it would feel looking forward to going to work each day and enjoying it.

Be Kind to Yourself

We all know that life has lots of good moments, and some not so good moments. How you choose to respond and react to the good and the not so good, will actually effect your future progression. If you take the time to enjoy what is important to you, you will gradually work your way towards achieving your long term goals. You will have the time, energy, $$$, relationship or whatever it is you are working towards.

The kinder you are to yourself and others, the simpler your life will become. After all, we are meant to enjoy life. Try it!! What have you got to lose?

Brainwave Entrainment Never Lose Hope in Love – The Best Ways and Places to Find Your Dream Partner

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.

Sometimes love just seems too hard to find. You try to look everywhere but it just seems that you don’t have the right moves or you aren’t looking in the right places. There are some days it seems that however much you want love, it just wants no part of you. But really, is such a situation as hopeless as it seems? Or do you need to just put it together properly to find the ultimate person of your dreams. Here are a few ways for you to help find that person who will send you to Cloud 9:

– Hang out in a bar: This is the ultimate destination for people who love to have fun. And if you’re looking for like-minded people, this is the perfect place to do so! Buying someone a drink never hurt anyone. It’s a really unfortunate thing that romances never take off because one or both parties was too shy to approach the other. So don’t waste that chance! And hey, if you get denied, at least you had a good drinking session!

– Surf the Internet: Everybody does it! And it’s really hard to find yourself without a really good match on the Internet because it’s such a large place to search. Networking sites and chat rooms are usually frequented by all kinds of lonely people looking for love. And websites where people can have common interests are also great places. Be careful when trying to find love online though. It’s never been the safest place to do so and your dream date can easily turn ugly if you aren’t careful.

– Get back to school: We’ve all seen it in the movies. That immortal line: ‘is this seat taken?’. And we’ve seen that the guy or girl that sits behind you in class could be the future love of your life. More than being a source of inspiration, you can build lasting relationships with the people you meet at school. And you can be almost certain that people you meet in class may have the same brainwaves and intellectual level as you, which makes for great conversation!
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.
