This entry is part 1 of 3 in the series Intro to Brainwave Entrainment

While searching online for self help audio solutions (hypnosis being the focus), I stumbled across the term “brainwave entrainment.” It seemed to have a huge buzz about it, and my curiosity was piqued. Looking further into this was probably the best thing I could have done for myself.

That’s great and all, but seriously what is brainwave entrainment? Well, brainwave patterns are “sweeping” electrical charges, produced by the brain, that create rhythms. Commonly grouped into four general patterns (Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta), brainwave patterns are associated with various states of mind. And the word “entrainment” is borrowed from physics and basically refers to the tendency for two vibrating bodies to lock into phase so that they vibrate in harmony. So brainwave entrainment, by reason of deduction, is getting your brainwaves to vibrate in harmony with another vibrating body.

Sound a little confusing? Ok, here’s an example. Imagine two tuning forks side by side:

See, Two Tuning Forks!

See, Two Tuning Forks!

If you strike the one on the right hold it close to the one on the left, they will begin to vibrate at the same frequency. And essentially, this is what brainwave entrainment sets out to do. Listening to a certain set of frequencies for an extended period of time will enable your brain to synchronize with the frequency, thus changing your brainwave pattern.

Ok, this still sounds like a sci-fi fiction story. What’s the point?

As I briefly mentioned, each grouping of brainwave patterns (Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta) are associated with certain states of mind. Alpha waves, for instance, are associated with increased creativity, relaxation, and meditation. So you know those people that always seem to be calm no matter what’s going on? They’re brain produces a decent amount of Alpha brainwaves as a default.

In the next article, I’ll talk more about the varieties of brainwaves and how they affect our behaviors.

Hello and welcome to Self Help Audio that works! This site is dedicated to a form of self-help audio that I have come to love and use regularly.

Here’s a bit about me; I’m a pretty normal person. I have a job in the arts as a regular performer, and a musician.  But like everyone else, I found things about myself that I found less than desirable. I had low self-esteem (odd for someone that puts themselves in front of crowds every week, but even still), I had serious focus issues, and just found myself slipping into serious bouts of depression on a regular basis.

When I went looking for self-help audios to get me through, the first I came across was hypnosis. Although it has a bit of a comical association with people barking like dogs, I read enough on the subject to learn that it was a very viable solution for changing ingrained habits.

So I downloaded every hypnosis mp3 that sounded good on paper (or on the web site I guess), and found myself hideously disappointed in the results. I knew it worked, but it couldn’t work for me. My mind just wouldn’t give in to the hypnotic suggestions to allow the message to get through.

I went looking for a way to relax my mind, and I stumbled upon an amazing technology that I feel is 10 times more effective than any hypnosis program – brainwave entrainment technology.

This site has been created to educate on the wonders of brainwave entrainment technology as an amazing self help audio aid in any self-help program. It truly has changed my life, and I hope you will give it a chance to change yours.
