Brain Entrainment: Changing Your Brainwave Frequencies For Increased Mind Power

Brain entrainment sounds clinical and even slightly intimidating. But although scientifically proven, there is nothing clinical about it. Our brain is a highly complex electrochemical transmitter and receiver. Through electrical and chemical impulses it receives information, processes information, and transmits responses. To do this, the brains electrical frequency is continually having to change according to the level of functioning required of it. This electrical frequency is commonly referred to as the brainwave frequency, or the brainwave state. But in terms of optimum brain processing, not all brainwave frequencies/states are equal. Some brainwave states cause us to function below our capacity, whereas others effect whole brain integration and higher functioning. Commonly, the awake brain tend to be more habituated in the less effective frequency range, otherwise known as the higher beta.

Changing, or habituating our brainwave state to spend more time in the lower frequency ranges correlated to higher functioning (lower Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta) can be effected through a number of practices, most common of which is meditation, or other mental practices that induce the brain to become quieter, concentrated and focused. 

Alternatively, when a persons thinking brain is operating  "in their zone", practicing what they are passionate about, and talented at, their brainwaves are known to be operating at lower frequencies. In effect, their slower brainwave frequencies cause the hemispheres of their brain to become more synchronized (brainwave synchronization). But this is for the minority, the rest of us tend to be right or left brain dominant and being in our zone, engaging our passion, or becoming accomplished in a mental discipline such as meditation can be difficult to access.

But thanks to science, and modern technology, we now know how to mechanically lower our brainwave frequencies, and one of the easiest ways of doing so is with sound. This is brainwave entrainment. Using sound to change our brainwave state and penetrate our subconscious is not a new concept. Throughout history all cultures have used music and sound as a way to affect the minds and hearts of  its people. The most important ceremonies and rituals in our lives have always used music, rhythm and harmonic tones to sway influence over our psyche. No one is immune to its power, but until recently it has not been well understood and hence its use optimized.

All of us have had an experience where we are performing an action with someone else: walking, rowing, running... and without any effort we will naturally start to walk, row, run in synch. The brain is naturally orientated to do this. This is naturally occurring brainwave entrainment. In the case of music or sound, our brain follows the rhythm and begins to fire neurons accordingly, getting its brainwave in synch so to speak. In order to put our brain in its optimal brainwave state we simply need to listen to specific sound frequencies designed for this exact purpose. These sound frequencies are commonly called binaural beats . 

To the untrained ear binaural beats sound like ordinary relaxing music or sound scapes, but underlying the tracks are the ‘positive brain’ frequencies that the brain responds to and synchs itself to. With continued use over a period of time the brain becomes more regulated to these frequencies and to accommodate its increased brainwave synchronization, it increases its neural pathways between both hemispheres, this makes for lasting results.

Until recently brainwave entrainment has been a scientifically proven system that few have known about (scientific evidence)  and was the reserve of a privileged few: NASA, Fortune 100 companies and leading minds around the world. But this is changing rapidly. With evermore people in pursuit of developing their full potential, brainwave entrainment is beginning to find its way into the mainstream with the number of people using it increasing daily.
