What is brainwave entrainment? Well, first we need to define entrainment.

Entrainment is the process whereby two interacting oscillating systems, which have different periods when they function independently, assume the same period. The two oscillators may fall into synchrony, but other phase relationships are also possible.

Think of a holding a tuning fork that is tuned to the frequency of a G note. Strike the tuning fork and place it near a guitar and you will notice that the G string on the guitar starts to vibrate! It has entrained on the tuning forks frequency.

How does this have anything to do with the brain?

It actually has a lot to do with the brain when you realize that the brain is pulsing with electrical impulses. This electrical activity can be measured with a piece of equipment called an electroencephalogram (EEG), which measures the frequency of the electrical current.

This frequency or speed of the brainwaves is measured in Hertz (Hz).

Now here is the really cool part – the predominant frequency that your brain is resonating with at any particular moment can be associated with your state of mind. This means that your state of mind, for example relaxed, frightened, or sleepy can be “seen” in your brainwave frequencies at that moment.

These frequencies and associated states have been studied for a long time and have been categorized into 4 broad categories.

Beta Waves – 13Hz to 20Hz. Beta waves are associated with normal waking consciousness. They are present when you are focused on activities in the outside world. However, too much beta can make one feel stressed out.

Alpha Waves – 8Hz to 12Hz. Alpha waves are likened to a light meditation. They are prevalent when you daydream. They will become stronger when your eyes are closed. An excellent state to be in to program your mind.

Theta Waves – 4Hz to 7Hz. Theta waves occur during heightened states of creativity and are found with a deep meditative state. Seek theta to access unconscious material, or to reveal insights and creative ideas.

Delta Waves – .5Hz to 3Hz. Delta waves are found in a deep sleep state or unconsciousness. Also, delta waves are common in very deep meditation. To stay conscious during delta takes practice.

Yogis and Shamans spend years practicing meditation techniques to learn to induce deep states of meditation. The main techniques they have used to be able to achieve these deep states of mind is spending time in dedicated practice … hours of practice every day! They work diligently quieting their mind and coaxing their brain into the different states.

In today’s world few people can tell their wives and children that they are going to sit and meditate for three hours, so please be quiet!

Mind Over Matter

Intrigue

What your body can do depends on what your mind can conceive. It’s all like a camera. Whatever the lens captures, the film prints. Don’t expect a photo of something that was not captured by the lens.

The body can only come up with a potential that the mind can imagine. The mind is designed as a command center, and the body serves as production department. When the mind is strong, the body will obey. When the mind is creative, the body will create accordingly.

When the reverse happens, inability sets in. When the mind is weak and overwhelmed, the body takes over and commands the mind. Thus, at the slightest hint of difficulty and pain, the body will give up and tell the mind it can do no more.

The mind can do nothing except agree with the spoiled body, and quit. For example, when you have chosen to exercise every morning, but when morning comes any excuse will do for not getting out of bed. If the mind is too weak to oppose the body, the mind will lose. From that abnormal scenario will flow an equally abnormal life. All issues in life will spread from that, and you will have a total wreck on your hands.

However, the mind can be strengthened by training it to make decisions the body will obey. If you adopt a life principle, a lifestyle, make sure everything you do is based on it. The mind decides what is right and the body is given practical things to do in relation to it.

Once the mind decides something the body is unwilling to do, a tug-of-war starts. What decides the outcome of this battle is how well the mind was trained.

Training of the mind comes to us in many ways. When you resist that high calorie dessert, you have given your mind a little more strength. When you do two more pushups than you normally do, you have given more power to your mind. When you push yourself out of bed in the morning and do your exercise program, your mind become the controller. You start getting what you want out of life.

One of the easiest ways to strengthen your mind and resolve is through meditation and brainwave training. Yet this too takes your mind to control the body to actually do the training. Luckily this training is easy to start and actually fun to do!

Next we will cover how regular meditation can be the key to becoming the master of your mind.

Your Brain and Reality

Jill Bolte Taylor is a brain anatomist who had a stroke and through that experience gained a deeper insight into the how we are not our brain.

Further she details in the video the role of the left and right brain and how through our conscious attention we can choose to become more “here and now”.

If you have read any of Eckhart Tolle’s books this should give a deeper understanding into what your brain is doing.

Set aside 18 minutes and really listen to what is being said.

You are more than your brain, it is an amazing tool that has been given to us in this reality.

If you find this interesting, you should take a look at Alpha Mind Programming. It is a program that is designed to help you access your true self.
