Brain Entrainment

What is brain entrainment?

Brain entrainment is also known as brainwave entrainment because it deals mostly with brainwaves.

Here's how it works...

Let's say you've got a tuning fork that resonates at 440 Hz. So, you strike it and then hold another tuning fork, that also resonates at 440 Hz, next to it.

The second one will start resonating without doing anything to it.

This effect is called the "frequency following response".

The same thing applies to our brainwaves. If you listen to a series of tones designed to resonate at the frequencies of certain brainwaves, your brain will follow and start resonating accordingly.

These tones are called "binaural beats".

How can brain entrainment help me?

There are four basic states of consciousness detected by EEG machines. These states are called beta, alpha, theta, and delta. Each of these corresponds to certain frequency ranges.

EEG states has more information about this.

Brain entrainment works by listening to binaural beats that "lead" your brain through these states.

The subconscious mind is most active in the theta state, which is right before delta, the state you're in when you are sleeping.

So, by using brain entrainment along with hypnosis, it becomes more effective which helps you by making it easier for you to relax.

The binaural beats are actually changing your brainwaves to get you relaxed.

That is why it's so effective.

You can use it for everything from ADD to falling asleep and everything in between.

You can also buy machines that do just brain entrainment without hypnosis.

These are called sight-sound machines. (click for details)

People with a past history of epilepsy or seizures should NOT use brain entrainment because certain studies have shown that binaural beats can actually trigger seizures so if you have a prior history with either condition you must ask not use it or listen to it.

For everyone's safety I always indicate which tracks contain the brain entrainment for this purpose.
