Psychoacoustics
This is a very interesting technology that could benefit everyone but nearly no one knows about it. In short it consists of subjecting each hemisphere of the brain to an audio tone of slightly different frequencies. The brain then finds the median between the two tones (usually between .5 and 12 Hz) and the brainwaves begin to slow down in resonance with that frequency.
It’s clinically proven to be useful for wide range of purposes; for instance, relaxation, meditation, lucid dreaming and attaining outer-body experiences (OBE). It is also used as an aid for concentrating (just the excuse students are looking for to wear headphones in class). In fact, this technology is being used to treat ADD and ADHD in students. Psychoacoustics has blown the mystical shroud off the topic of meditation as well. With this technology, beginning meditators can effortlessly achieve states of meditation that correspond to neural resonance at lower frequencies in the theta/delta range.
- Delta (0.5 - 4 HZ) - Associated with deep levels of relaxation, sleep and healing
- Theta (4 - 8HZ) - Associated with tranquil states of awareness in which vivid internal imagery often takes place
- Alpha (8- 12 HZ) - Relaxed nervous system, ideal for stress management, accelerated learning and mental-imagery/ creative visualizations.
- Beta (12-30 HZ) - Associated with waking/alert states of awareness k-complex (30 - 35HZ). Clarity and sudden states of integration, the “ah-ha experience”
- Super High Beta (35 - 150 HZ). Psychodynamic states of awareness
The big names in the industry are Brain-Sync and Hemi-sync, each have a website where you can preview and download their various products. Center-Pointe has done the most research in terms of the spiritual application of this technology and their site is well worth a visit.
