Yesterday I traveled to “the other side” in meditation to meet Max, my spirit guide, for the first time in weeks. I wanted to chat with him about my spiritual stagnation.

As I passed through the veil separating the physical and spiritual worlds, I found myself standing in a pristine forest of towering trees. These trees formed a canopy high overhead, reminding me of California redwoods. Rays of celestial light slanted through the forest canopy.

The path on which I stood stretched off into the distance. On either side of the path, expanses of delicate ferns, moss, and luminescent wildflowers covered the forest floor.

Suddenly I noticed Max approaching on the path from afar. I thought he might scold me for my prolonged absence. Instead, he greeted me warmly and motioned for me to walk with him.

“It’s wonderful to be here,” I told him.

I inhaled deeply, in appreciation of the earthy fragrance of this beautiful forest. Then I said to Max, “I’ve been feeling stuck spiritually. I mean, I don’t feel any spiritual momentum. I guess that’s why I haven’t come to see you in a while.”

He glanced dubiously at me and said, “You are not aware of your own progress, are you? Yet you do so much that contributes to your progress. You attend spiritual conferences. You spend time with spiritual friends. You do Light exercises every day. You devote most of your time everyday to spiritual studies. You are even becoming less angry and frustrated with life.”

He paused briefly and then continued, “You are not stagnating. You are merely taking time to integrate what you have learned so far. Besides, you need to rest before the next big spiritual surge begins. Do not be discouraged.”

“Well, that’s easy when things go my way,” I retorted.

He ignored my comment and said, “You just need to relax.”

Several chirping birds fluttered about as if trying to join our conversation.

Max continued, “Be assured, you are making rapid progress — even when you don’t feel it.”

Somehow I knew he was right. He always is. But I also knew I have been emotionally anesthetized throughout most of my adult life.

He grabbed my forearm and stopped walking for a moment. Then, looking directly at me, he said, “Here’s what I want you to do: When you meditate, focus on your heart chakra. Breathe into it. As you do this, concentrate on happiness and joy and bliss. Your feelings are more important than the thoughts you have always attached so much importance to. Listen to music with your heart, not your ears.”

Now I was curious. For me, his words were clear and profound. So he continued, “Smell the fragrance that surrounds you with your heart. You can do that, you know. Listen to what others say with your heart, not your head. Touch with your heart, not your hands.”

This surprised me. “I didn’t know I could touch with my heart,” I said.

“Of course you can — with your feelings,” he replied.

We continued to walk, and after a while, Max said, “I want you to spend more time with me. You need it.”

Then he added, “It isn’t that you need to know more. You just need to feel more.”

“Will I be able to make real emotional progress in this lifetime?” I asked.

“You are eternal,” Max replied. “You are not limited to a single lifetime. You already have lived many times. You can spend additional lifetimes in the physical world whenever and as often as you choose.”

“But I won’t be me in my next lifetime!” I protested.

Max laughed. “You are always you — even though you inhabit different physical bodies lifetime after lifetime. But don’t focus so much on knowledge. Just be happy. Let others experience happiness with you.”

He paused and then continued, “That which you really are dwells in your heart, not your head. Continue to do what you are doing, but do it with your heart.”

I knew my time with Max was drawing to a close, but I was reluctant to leave. There was still so much to learn. Max assured me that we would continue to discuss these things whenever I returned to spend time with him.

Suddenly, I could hear — or feel — what sounded like a heavenly choir, and I knew right away this sound and feeling were coming from within me. I was beginning to understand what Max was saying. We continued to walk without speaking.

“Light and Love are pouring into you,” Max said at last, just as he and the forest scene began to fade from my vision. “Share this Light and Love with others.”

“I will,” I promised. He smiled and was gone, and I was back in the physical world. Nearly an hour had passed, but it felt more like five minutes.

meditation music Sonic Youth – “Rather Ripped” – Music Review

Sonic Youth have nothing to prove. They operate in a hard-won sphere of existence that doesn’t rely on much outside approval in order to both be and provide its’ members with a vocation and calling. They’ve been bringing it since 1981 and that’s 25 years, Jack! They’ve been killing it, absolutely killing it for longer than The Beatles were even together. From the fallout of Glenn Branca’s freewheeling guitar noise, on through cyber-punk hypnosis, into the great 20th century experimental composers with frequent forays of funk and rock, Sonic Youth are our champions. We dwellers in, and on the fringes of, the underground have our troubadours in Sonic Youth. Chances are, if you’ve thought it, read it, painted it, strummed it or smoked it, Sonic Youth was there years before, coping a feel and making it their own.

Arthur Rimbaud wrote about finding transcendence and clarity by crawling through Hell. He advocated a systematic derangement of the senses in order to move beyond our everyday, reactive mind and find our true light, our true voice. This voyage of self-discovery is familiar to all of us. We may or may not go the chemical route. Some folks tune in to the mystic. They feel Christ’s wounds and taste Heaven through his blood and body. Others hear the shimmering ping of the meditation gong. They fold themselves into prostrations letting the mantra and mind find unity. Any way we wander, the path isn’t easy. All great endeavors require sacrifice and when some things are lost, they are lost for good. Artists take this brave journey every time they create from their true inner-core. Check Joseph Campbell’s “Hero With A Thousand Faces.” He lays it out for real. Another good example is Alex Grey’s series of paintings, “Portrait of The Artist”.

Okay, let’s stop the referencing and just talk about it. We’re all born with a multitude of people and possibilities inside of us. We carry the genes of all of those who came before us. Their struggles, joys and quests manifest in our lives just as their hair color and height do. We are truly not just individuals but more composites. The weight and power of our heritage can be a source of great strength and connection. But, life is hard. I mean that’s really the message that comes through isn’t it? Sure we have wonders. We’re able to love! We’re able to swim in the ocean and fly and laugh at a good joke and eat a slice of pizza and go to the moon and play with our kids and protest the war and strum a guitar and hear Mozart and all of that is great! It is also, all temporary.

The “life is hard” truism makes sure of that. In the kernel of every beginning is the start of the end. That baby struggling to take a wobbling step down the hall of your first apartment will one day exhale his last breath. This fact can be wounding. The artist starts in wonder and light. They express their perspective and find delight in the form of things. Soon however, the same perceptual organs that tuned into this flow of life has to grapple with its’ dark twin. The heightened sensitivity that allows one to stare at sunlight through a tree for hours and render it so beautifully on paper as to make you cry will now come to contemplate change, decay and death. It’s a wounding. It sends some away from their art to seek solace through ignoring. Others hang on and in the hanging on are dismembered. They shatter into multiple people and find themselves in relationships, depressed, worshiping gurus, hooked on heroin, playing in a rock band, dyeing their hair and hanging from hooks, shooting up their schools, climbing mountains and generally trying to find some way to experience and express their lives or at least react to it. Along this path we meet guides. They show us the full moon and we mistake their pointing for our seeing. We reject some of them but follow along our oath with a bit of their guidance. At some point our dismembered self begins to reform. We leave behind certain things and pick up new things. We come back to where we started and see it for the first time. Sometimes we bring back with us a vision.

The wonder we once felt at the form of things has been replaced with a respect for the continuum of things. In finding peace with change, our vision can begin to manifest. At first we viewed death and change as the call of the other. It felt alien and wrong. Now we know it for what it is; our true birth right. Had we not heard that call to growth we wouldn’t be artists. None of this is imprinted with finality however. This same process is in fact an unfolding circumstance as we chart our steps through life. When we witness an artist who is aware of this and uses it to guide their work, it is a cause for celebration. Sonic Youth are those kind of artists.

Their new album, “Rather Ripped”(Geffen) gives us an all new Sonic Youth that while shedding new light on their musical journey, retains and refines some of their trademark moves. It’s a worthwhile listen from the getgo. I’ve heard some chatter on the ether that the underground guerrillas are chaffed by the fact that there are “songs” on this release. Folks, I’m here to tell you that there’s no need to worry! Yes, there are songs here, damn good songs as a matter of fact! Sonic Youth have come out of the other side of Hell and yet again delivered us an amazing field guide. Some night when you’re feeling the need to clean out the crevices of your brain and shiver your timbers a bit, drop the needle (or press the button as it may be) on SY’s 1985 release, “Bad Moon Rising”. The pure strip-mining of your adrenal glands will inform you that you are in the presence of greatness. Like Rimbaud downing another absinthe in Paris and fending off Verlaine’s groping hand from his crotch, you’ll know you’re hearing the sound of a “derangement” of your senses. The voyage of 20 plus years of seeking means that Sonic Youth have earned the right to do some “songs” and we can expect that these songs will blow our minds. This album only exist because the artist have paid the price for it to do so. To simply say that the new Sonic Youth record is no good because it contains the compactness and conciseness of a song structure is to miss the point entirely. This album is so good because there are songs. They trump our expectations for what can be said with sound in the confines of an often played out format. There are the rumbling and twanging sounds of Lee Renaldo and Thurston Moore’s guitar figures as they mirror the intoning of the lyrics. It’s a beautiful steeple chase of sound that is only more endearing for the fact that it doesn’t go on ad-nauseum and but with the “plan”. Sonic Youth has taken the format and breathed new life into it. This may in fact be a contract obligation to Geffen by which they earn their freedom, but they’re giving us all a bit of freedom in the process.

The album opens with the chiming and satisfying song, “Reena”. Kim Gordon actually wails on this one. I hear shadows of Patti Smith and Nico mingling with Gordon’s own unique phrasing. This song is a microcosm of the whole album. It’s not as though Sonic Youth has abandoned their feral instincts, more they have learned to employ them in a tactical manner so as to maximize the impact. A standout track is the hypnotic and compulsive, “Incinerate”. In it we hear Thurston Moore compressing thirty plus years of music into five minutes. From The Ventures to Iggy Pop to The Feelies, it all comes to a head in this song. Another aspect to the ever evolving search of Sonic Youth is revealed on “Turquoise Boy”. The great unfolding we hear is tone. Guitar tone is a slippery beast to pin down. It’s a subtle combination of guitar, pickup, amp, volume and playing style that combine to create a particular quality of sound. On this song we are rewarded with the fruits of Sonic Youth’s inquiries into the nature of tone. In fact the whole album is a showcase for the various answers they’ve found to the question of what does a guitar sound like. At times harsh, at times mysterious, at times an exultation.

Recently I read a great book about DJ’s and DJ culture called, “Last Night A DJ Saved My Life”. If you’ve ever been visited by music that hits your soul and won’t leave you alone, you know exactly where this title comes from. The feeling of completion we get from great music is vital and pushes us on our way. We resonate with the themes and sounds of good music. Sonic Youth have turned out a real winner here. We owe them our thanks for staying true to their muse for so many years. ‘Rather Ripped” doesn’t rest on its’ creators laurel. It plunders and distills them into this thoroughly enjoyable listen.

Brainwave Entrainment Ten Reasons to Meditate

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.
white light meditation | soothing sounds
Meditation is the practice of lowering one’s brain frequency from a waking Beta state to a slower Alpha state. Just as a heart beats a certain number of beats per minute, the brain pulses a certain amount of brainwaves per second. In the Beta waking state, brainwaves vary from 15 to 40 cycles per second. In the Alpha state, brainwaves vary from 9 to 14 cycles per second.

Beta is the normal state for waking thoughts and daily activities including talking, working, and shopping. Beta is the state most people are in when in a working mode. Alpha is the slower state where an individual can reflect, meditate or ponder thoughts.

The following are 10 key benefits to daily meditation:

o Oneness with God and creation

o Stress reduction and decreased anxiety

o Reduces the noise and chatter of our waking minds

o Pain reduction and management

o Supports the immune system

o Reduces blood pressure

o Improved memory and ability to learn

o Feelings of peace, calmness and an awareness of self

o Improves moodiness and irritability

o Feelings of rejuvenation

In his book Getting in the Gap, Dr Wayne Dyer discusses how daily meditation brings us into a closer, more personal relationship with God. By knowing God, our source of being, we can find true meaning for our lives. Dr. Dyer writes, “The paramount reason for making meditation a part of our daily life is to join forces with our sacred energy and regain the power of our Source (God). Through meditation, we can tap in to an abundance of creative energy that resides within us, and a more meaningful experience of life, which enriches us permanently. By meditating, we come to know God rather than knowing about God”.

This deeper, richer, calming experience has a profound effect on body, mind and spirit. Our minds become clearer; the noise and chatter in our minds fades away. In its place come feelings of peace, calmness and a sense of awareness. We feel lighter, younger and rejuvenated. Moods brighten and irritability is eliminated paving the way for clearer thoughts, improved memory, insightfulness and creativity.

The ability to relax and calm our minds has its physical benefits as well. As our minds our soothed, physical pain and tension are reduced or eliminated. Chronic pain including severe headaches can be completely negated. Our circulatory, cardiovascular and immune systems operate more efficiently.

The benefits of meditation are vast. In a world of daily stress and anxiety, meditation paves the way for a healthy mind, body and spirit. For healthy living, practice meditation daily.
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.

sleep meditation The 7 Churches of Revelation 2

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.

John’s 7 epistles to the 7 churches in Asia Minor must be seen in connection with Paul’s letter to the Romans (chps. 9-11) and other predictions that foretell the end of christendom (as an earthly testimony; they will be transplanted to heaven at the Rapture) and the renewal of the Lord’s relations with His earthly people, the 2 and 10 tribes of Israel. “No prophecy is of its own interpretation,” Scripture says; i.e. one must compare text with text and context with context and that throughout the Old and New Testament.

Ephesians had the Nicolaites, Smyrna the feigning opponents, Pergamum had the false idolaters, Thyatira the promulgators of false doctrine, Sardis the nominal Christians, Philadelphia the outsiders and Laodicea the hypocrites. Personally I categorize these seven churches as Jewish Catholics, true Catholics, ‘old’ Catholics, Romish Catholics, protestants, the faithful and the end time pentecostals and evangelicals. Notice I say ‘Romish’ Catholics, to include also Greek, Russian and other so-called orthodox churches, where they all venerate the mother goddess in some measure.

Only the local churches, or assemblies (‘ekklesia’=group called out), of Smyrna and Philadelphia had no upbraiding directed at them.

I argue that, as to character, all 7 churches still exist today; not at the same location of course: and that, other than that, they have a prophetic meaning, representing 7 stadia of christendom. Of these 7 stadia, only the last 4 still are in existence.

Thyatira (Rev. 2.18-29 {Thyatira is the Roman Catholic Church, just as Sardis represents the protestants, etc. according to faithful commentators}) harbors ‘those that know the depths of Satan’. And the Lord warns those mariolaters that He will give them according to their works. So these are also people that need to confess their sins and recognize the sovereign authority of the Lord. Just like anybody else for that matter. Of course most Catholics by far are totally ignorant of these ‘knowers of Satan’, as is apparent from the passage. (These are no Satanists, but they benefit from occult powers). Nor need they worry. Faithful Catholics are told to hold on to what they have, spiritually. Of course misled and ignorant Catholics are told unequivacally to repent, I mean those who never really understood the gospel; people that contend themselves with outward trappings. Unfortunately, I am sorry to say, the majority, as also in Sardis and Laodicea. In fact all the faithful in these churches face a majority of unfaithful, nominal Christians (as if the enmity of the world is not enough!).

Thyatira then is tainted with Mariolatry, Sardis with superciliousness and swagging (“You have the name that you live, but you are dead!”) and Laodicea is crippled by lukewarmness and levity.

What is the golden mean of a true Philadelphia!? “You have kept the word of my perseverance.” A true Christian testimony makes no compromises with either Pharisees or Sadducees and neither forgets the zealots; but puts a leash on them. They keep warning the Herodians and the Pilates of this world and they carry people in their hearts. They withstand alien elements on both the right and the left and they do not forget the smallest commandments (“He that teaches the commandments, but forgets about the smallest, will be called little in the kingdom of heaven.”) and their righteousness surpasses those of the Pharisees, also in giving time and money. “Unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you can in no way go into the kingdom of heaven.” Now the Pharisees gave 10 percent, but they ate up the houses of the widows. Give liberally, “For God LOVES the cheerful giver.” They do not rust in a rut of traditionalism, yet they hold on to the ‘old paths’. And a true testimony worships (“For the Father also SEEKS those that worship Him. God is a spirit and those that worship Him, must worship Him in Spirit and Truth.”) in true character of the Bible, not becoming so Pharisaic that you destroy, emotionally, the weak and alienate children and not becoming so tolerant that people lose vision. “Where there is no vision, the people perish;” and “My people is destroyed by lack of knowledge.”

A true Christian testimony knows that the Lord ‘wants mercy and not sacrifice’ and that ‘mercy boasts against judgment’. They are motivated by love and selflessness and yet know that ‘a feast is made for laughter and wine gladdens the heart’. They do not only visit with one another, but they carry each others’ burdens. They discourage and chastize the bad and they encourage and strengthen the good; the latter not by silence, but by compliments. They hold on to the inerrency of the bible and their hearts and minds are open for new ideas, nuances and insights. In this they have not grown lax. As far as the table of the Lord is concerned, they admit whom the Lord would admit and they refuse whom the Lord would refuse. And in this they are clear and do not keep people in a dubious limbo. They own their mistakes and make good on them and learn from them as a community. Those that are in esteem among them have a good reputation on the outside. They grow as a community, quantitatively and qualitatively, yet allow for differences between individuals and respect each other in this regard. They do not neglect the mutual meetings and they do not look down upon those that attend irregularly, or hardly, because of a weakness.

Laodicea is the endtime church (of this dispensation, not of the world!) that is characterized by a pseudomodernism filled with the lukewarm drivel of halfhearted religiosity that must pass as sympathetic understanding and coolheaded, no-nonsense savvy. They have given up the paradox of and the golden mean (the happy medium) between, on the one hand being the salt (spice, sic!) of this world and on the other hand, being separated from evil [“Respect for the Lord is to hate evil.”] That is why they will be vomited out by the Lord at His coming in the clouds and they will be left behind and like the 5 foolisch vergins they will find themselves before a close door. For professing to be rich (“Blessed are the poor in spirit”, that is those that see that they are spiritually poor) in God with 20-20 vision, in reality they are poor, naked and blind spiritually. For ever teaching and never coming to the knowledge of the truth, they continually congratulate both themselves and each other and never come to true worship; even though they may call their music worship (which serves but for the purpose of an empty feel good meditation; high on Jesus). Most of them are not truly born again by the Holy Spirit, even though they may apply that term to themselves. Therefore they are bastard spawns of the devil: except for those that are lovingly disciplined by the chastizing and loving hand of the Shepherd, Who “stands at the door” and knocks. Laodiceans make compromises on the left that drain real believers of holiness and emotional power and clearcut understanding. The Lord warned us: “What shall be done with salt when it has lost its flavor? It is only good to be thrown out and to be trodden upon” (hopefully in the 5th day of human history they will be able to use it for a path [see The 7 Days of Human History and its 13 Kings].

Dr. Andrew Weil and Kimba Arem in “Self-Healing With Sounds and Music” explained how there are energy centers in the body should be in balance. If the energy gets off balance, it causes disturbances of our health and illness in the body. We need to be sensitive to the sounds we are letting into our day and judge whether they are doing us good or causing agitation and imbalances.

Indian and Chinese Medicine uses energy centers, chakras, in the body that could get out of balance and cause illnesses and disturbances. We have the medium of music that is free and an inexpensive way to effective way to transform your mood or restore us psychologically.

The Gregorian chanting and playing the gong are very powerful ways that heal our bodies through vibrations. I love the meditation, relaxation part of my Kundalini yoga class when the teacher plays the gong.

Our whole world is vibrations, like alpha, beta, delta, theta waves. Sound affects our minds and bodies very much. Take note that our bodies are made up of 70% water.

Prayer is word that words that vibrate and heal our balance or bring enlightenment to the brain. If we play relaxation music, it will soothe us. If we play loud, blaring music, it will agitate us and maybe cause us anxiety.

So how do you think this healing is taken place through sounds? All matter vibrates, like visible light and invisible cosmic rays. I am suggesting that we get healed through vibrations.

God created the Universe with it’s own healing mechanism. In India, people chant OM for their healing and connection with the universe. The Western World doctors do not recognize the energy that the Eastern style of medicine admits and lives by.

Sounds do have a very strong affect on us, calming agitating us. We must be sure we subject ourselves to sounds that heal us, if possible. You should pay close attention to sounds you are hearing a they affect the subconscious as well.

The knowledge on the impact of subconscious and the power of the mind in inducing a full state of mind recovery and spiritual transformation is very important. There are professionals that will help you access through meditation, the deep most level of subconscious that is possible, and which will help you to clear out the imprints of negativity of past experiences. In addition, you will not encounter other implications once you are through with this.

Healing for negative past imprints is all about accessing the lowest level of your subconscious, so as to clear out the imprints. Although there are programs that have been advertised, including positive affirmations or neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), which only help in the reconditioning of the mind, which involves the laying of another layer of program on top of the previous one-so, you will not achieve total healing. The deepest most powerful is deep meditation. Although positive affirmations or neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) will allow you to achieve happiness and success, the underlying emotions related to the negative imprints will never be removed. Hence the previous ones are about temporal and not permanent healing of the spirit. This is because they do not help you to access the deep most of your subconscious. Spiritual reincarnation is all about reconnecting your true self to the mind and letting emotions be transformed by clearing out the former ones.

With the help of music today, and CD tools that have been developed by professionals, you can reach your deepest level of meditation and acquire a total healing of the spirit. The information regarding brain waves and how they can be controlled through the application of music is very important to you. By experiencing a brain entrainment program daily, you will achieve a total spiritual reincarnation than you have ever been and realize its potential and power. You will gain if you get to experience all of these frequencies that are important for your healing on a daily basis.

With the knowledge how you can achieve deep meditation, you can get to monitor and have control over your healing period. This relates to the length of time you will be listening to these tools that help your brain to achieve the said frequencies. Use of lower and much lower carrier frequencies will help you achieve more impact as far as healing is concerned. As far as the period of healing is concerned, do not move as fast because the brain needs to revert gradually and you will need to listen to the music at each stage for more time.

There are two programs that you may need knowledge about regarding deep meditation. One is organized in four track CDs where you will get to be gradually taken from frequencies as high to those very low frequencies of the brain waves. Personal healing is possible with the above knowledge. Many people have not acquainted themselves with the techniques and as a result they engage in drug abuse and gain more loss. The knowledge of the power of deep meditation can help you heal permanently.

Brainwave Entrainment The Latest Ways to Fall Asleep – Recent Advancements Can Help Insomnia

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.

If you’ve tried all the ways to fall asleep that are regularly recommended – and they haven’t worked – then the thought of a new treatment may be both a blessing and a curse. Another night without rest despite the promises of yet another herbal remedy can be enough to make you scream.

Prescription medication can knock you out, but leaves you feeling like you were punched in the head the night before. There’s also the taste in your mouth like a tray of kitty litter was emptied into it.

I tried every pill and potion out there in a desperate attempt to get some sleep. They either didn’t work or left me feeling even worse than I did the night before. My work and family relationships were really beginning to suffer.

I’d spent a fortune on relaxation books and movies, they promised the world but I couldn’t keep them up. The stress of work was just too much. Despite trying the techniques my restless mind would keep me awake no matter how exhausted my body was. Even when I did manage to drop off it didn’t ever last long. Soon enough I was up again, tossing and turning and watching the clock.

Eventually my searching took me to a scientific web forum. A member recommended a new method that made as many promises as the last. The difference was, this one worked. It was the one way that I found that could halt the thoughts racing through my head. I finally managed to get to sleep.

The technology is called brainwave entrainment. It’s not a relaxation technique, though it may sound like one. The beats and rhythms match your brain waves and train them to drop into the state that promotes sleep. There are no words, melodies or suggestions that your mind can grasp onto and be the cause of keeping you awake.

Best of all, the sounds train your brain to enter the restive state more quickly and consistently. When I’m traveling or away from home and forget to pack them it doesn’t matter. They have already done their work.

Turning my back on pills and potions and yet managing to enter a deep rest consistently has been a godsend to me. I truly thought that I would never look forward to bed again. It happened to me and it can work for you too. From my experience, it really is the one of the best ways to fall asleep.
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 Entrainment Can’t Sleep? Discover Why You Really Need To!

Why is sleep so important and why do so many people have sleep issues? It is said that people who sleep well tend to be happier and healthier and this certainly makes sense if you look at what happens when you don’t get enough…

Sleep is a crucial part of our ongoing physical, mental and emotional development. When we sleep we are healing our bodies and processing information. Many important rejuvenative substances are created in our brains while we sleep and sleep also plays an important role in brain development; lack of sleep can therefore greatly accelerate the aging process and seriously affect our brain’s ability to function.

This explains why when we’re tired we’re more likely to make errors of judgment, our memories don’t function as they should, learning is more difficult and, even more seriously, we can actually put our lives and the lives of others at risk: Statistics from the US say that car accidents related to sleep deprivation are responsible for more than 1,500 fatalities and 71,000 injuries per year. 10 years ago in the UK it was claimed that more than one fatality a day was caused by sleepiness (higher than alcohol related fatalities).

The latest US figures also show that around 70 million Americans experience sleep-associated problems, with almost 40 million suffering from chronic sleep disorders. These are worrying statistics.

So how much sleep should I be getting?

Everyone is different and peoples’ sleep requirements vary enormously. Some people need a good 8-10 hours (like Einstein) while others can survive quite happily on 4-6 (Edison). A newborn needs about 16 hours a day and by the age of 6 this drops to around 11. Your own normal sleep patterns should be settled by the end of your teenage years (19-20), and the average, according to scientists, seems to be somewhere between 7 and 8 hours.

Why is sleep such a big problem for so many people and what can be done about it?

Again, each person is different and poor sleep can be due to any number of problems, some being medical (allergies, coughing, arthritis, pain, menopause etc), some being emotional (anxiety, depression, Post Traumatic Stress etc) and some being due to lifestyle (excessive caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, drugs, or even TV and computer use), but probably the biggest cause, which has a direct effect on many of the above, is STRESS. Whether work related, home related or both, stress is one of the major reasons we don’t sleep, and it’s a vicious circle as the less sleep we get the more stressed we feel.

There are various sleep remedies on the market. The first to pop into many peoples’ heads are sleeping pills. Unfortunately, especially if taken over a long period of time, these can stay in the bloodstream, become addictive and tend to have rather unpleasant side-effects. Even the herbal versions can have side-effects or need to be taken long-term to be efficient.

There are also many natural remedies to be tried: drinking camomile tea, avoiding stimulants before bedtime, having a warm bath, reading a book, changing the temperature in your bedroom (low is better than high)… Unfortunately, while pleasant and relaxing, these remedies will not make long lasting changes to your sleep patterns, nor will they properly address the issue of stress.

Another extremely effective, but less known alternative is brainwave entrainment.

Brainwave entrainment has two major assets when it comes to tackling sleep problems: Firstly, it causes considerable increase in melatonin levels (melatonin is the hormone that creates restful sleep, and we make less of it as we age); Secondly, used regularly, the effects of brainwave entrainment are long-lasting. While listening to Alpha, Theta and Delta brainwave frequencies you are calming your nervous system, lowering blood pressure, releasing DHEA (anti-stress hormone) and reducing cortisol (age-accelerating hormone which affects learning and memory). Incidentally, brainwave entrainment is also great for children, and can prove very handy when your insomnia is actually caused by a smaller member of the family’s sleeping problem!

In conclusion, if you are not getting enough sleep you really should try to remedy the situation for your own good, and the good of those around you. Remember, when your brain suffers, you suffer! So whichever method you decide to go for, good luck and sleep well.

Things we think are good for us may not be good at all. You are unique and your stress reactions are just as unique. What is good may just be a perception of how you feel.

1) Most people agree that shopping reduces their stress. You spend the better part of your Saturday afternoon at the mall, buying shoes, clothes, music, and whatever you feel you deserve because you need to reward yourself for putting up with life for the past week.

Once you get over the guilt feelings of buying stuff you really did not need, the emotional exhaustion sets in and you start to think that this is relaxation. Exhaustion is not relaxation! Exhaustion is emotional and physical burnout caused by stress. It takes many relaxation methods to calm an exhausted person. I have not written about the financial complications of your spending spree and the stress that brings.

2) Using sports to reduce stress was considered a mans’ stress reducer. Research has shown that a large number of women are finding sports as a successful stress reducer for them as well. Playing competitive sports like bowling, softball running and biking keeps women in shape as well as decreasing their stress levels. Watching competitive sports is definitely a stress reducer. I have seen many a fan cheering, yelling and of course, the movement a sports fan uses is very physical and emotionally energetic. There is lots of great stress reducing going on at these times.

3) We all know eating helps reduce stress. When you are under stress, you eat your favorite comfort foods. Some times, you do this too much and over eat. If you are a person who is concerned with extra weight then this stressful eating becomes an additional problem. Being aware of the foods, you find comforting and eating in moderation, and then finding additional comfort in walking, meditation or something else will curb the overeating.

Thinking about how you manage your stress is the first steps in controlling, reducing and then relieving your stress. You are on the positive path to a more abundant life.
