Many of you may already realize that I am a BIG fan of any form of mindfulness practice for stress reduction. I also am very aware from my own experiences that being mindful and especially meditating can be very hard. It can seem almost impossible to quiet the raging thoughts in our heads, especially during times when we are bombarded with bad news and uncertainty through many media outlets. I also know that sometimes we use keeping busy to actually avoid quiet time which may force us to confront things like grief and other personal traumas. However, the brain needs quiet time to process things and keeping our brain waves in the right range helps reduce the physiological impacts of chronic stress.
This is why I love using brain entrainment as the ultimate stress management hack. We spend most of our time in four main brain waves throughout the day. When we are focused on things outside our bodies then we are in Beta waves of 12 Hz and up. When we close our eyes when we are awake or are in a more relaxed state focusing more inward, then we are mostly Alpha waves of 8-12 Hz. When we are just falling asleep, waking up, day-dreaming or have years of meditative practice to slow our breathing, heart rate and brain waves down, we are in Theta between 4-7 Hz. This is a very creative and healing state to be in. Then there are Delta waves of deep sleep which is less than 4 Hz.
Study of brain entrainment goes back over 170 years when scientist first discovered that the brain could listen to different brainwaves in each ear and then would sync to the difference of the waves. This is called Binaural entrainment and for example audios will have 410 Hz playing in one ear and 400 Hz playing in the other ear which will cause the brain to go into a nice Alpha wave state of 10 Hz. Another form of entrainment is using Isochronic tones or mini-beats of 10 beats per second of 10 Hz which the brain will mimic as well.
Modern day programs such as Brain Ev, Brain Salon, Sleep Salon and Zen12 use multiple forms of brain entrainment along with beautiful music and/or natural sounds. The effects are incredible. Check out the links below for incredible free samples of some amazing programs. I've used all of these programs and highly recommend them after checking out the products disclaimer page to ensure you don't have an underlying condition that may require a doctor's review.
Enjoy and I would love to hear how your experiences are with these programs or any others.
