			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-331" title="brain" src="http://brainwavedirections.com/media/brain1.jpg" alt="brain" />The brain normally operates at different frequencies, depending on the type of mental activity involved. These frequencies are divided into four main types of brainwave patterns:·</p>
<p>Beta waves between 13-40 HZ are associated with peak concentration, heightened alertness and visual acuity.·</p>
<p>Alpha waves between 7-12 HZ are associated with deep relaxation and are considered the gateway to our creativity·</p>
<p>Theta waves between 4-7 HZ are associated with the twilight state that we experience fleetingly as we drift off to sleep and are strongly linked with creativity and intuition.·</p>
<p>Delta waves between 0-4 HZ. are associated with deep sleep.As we slow the brainwave patterns from beta to alpha to theta to delta, there is a corresponding increase in balance or synchronization between the two hemispheres of the brain. Scientists have noted that these slower brainwave patterns are accompanied by deep tranquillity, flashes of creative insight, euphoria, intensely focused attention, and enhanced learning abilities.</p>

<p>You know what stress looks like: The sun rises; so do you. Your child suddenly remembers that he needs cupcakes for the school party. The dog has gotten sick in the living room. Your spouse leaves for work in a huff after a pre-breakfast tiff over finances. You leave for work without a report that’s due today. You double back, grab it from the kitchen counter, trip over an Everest of laundry — must we go on?</p>
<p>You know what stress feels like: Your pulse quickens, your lungs squeeze shut, your ears ring, and you wonder if this is the time your head actually explodes. Sensing anxiety overload, your brain orders up a chemical surge that makes your blood vessels narrow, heart race, blood pressure rise, and muscles tighten. Your body is mobilizing to deal with threat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-194" title="sleepinductioncover" src="http://brainwavedirections.com/media/sleepinductioncover.jpg" alt="sleepinductioncover" />If you are into meditation, then you must have heard by now of the popular brainwave meditation CDs But even if you are a beginner in the meditation domain, it s a good idea to find out more since many claim it can provide powerful benefits</p>
<p>You can think about brainwave meditation as an optimized form of meditation, since it basically combines the old, traditional meditation techniques and exercise with the advanced technology, a technology that allows you to discipline your mind more efficiently</p>
<p>What Does Brainwave Meditation Stand for?</p>
<p>Brainwave meditation is based on the binaural beats these beats are sent to the brain, under the form of audio signals or stimuli with a certain frequency Therefore, brainwave meditation is often associated with a genuine massage for the brain What is the purpose of this massage?</p>
<p>Basically, brainwave meditation CDs help to induce a state of calmness and peace, a state that helps you relax and meditate in an optimum manner The main role of the brainwave meditation CD is to help the practitioners enter the desirable theta state and the surprising thing is that even the beginners who use brainwave technology can actually reach this state, without having experience in the meditation field Why is the theta state desirable?</p>

<p>I-Doser Labs is the leading producer of Binaural Brainwave CDs, MP3s, and computer-based Binaural Brainwave Doses. Using proven, scientific, and safe methods of synchronizing your brainwaves; a simulated state can be achieved through the use of our advanced audio CDs, MP3s, or the I-Doser Player Application for Personal Computers. Our Binaural process has been refined with years of research and development. With thousands of satisfied users, the I-Doser Labs CDs, MP3s, and Computer-Based Applications continue to lead the industry as the only safe and effective method to achieve a simulated mood or experience.</p>
<p>Brainwave synchronization (entrainment) may be achieved when audio signals are introduced to the brain causing a response directly related to the frequency of the signal introduced, called binaural beats. Two tones close in frequency generate a beat frequency at the difference of the frequencies, which is generally subsonic. For example, a 500 Hz tone and 510 Hz tone will produce a subsonic 10 Hz tone, roughly in the middle of the alpha range. The resulting</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-166" title="motivation" src="http://brainwavedirections.com/media/motivation.jpg" alt="motivation" width="200" height="240" />In order to understand how alpha meditation can help improve your creativity, it is important to start by understanding what binaural beats and brainwave entrainment are.</p>
<p>Brainwave entrainment is the use of some external stimulus, usually different sounds that a person will hear with stereo headphones, to induce a certain level of brain wave activity. When a person&#8217;s brainwave activity is artificially altered by these means, it will subtly shift their awareness and perception.</p>
<p>Using binaural beats is a common and effective method of brainwave entrainment. In order for the binaural beats to be effective, a person must be using stereo headphones so that they can hear a different sound in each ear.</p>
<p>Most of the time, the binaural beats will be embedded underneath the layers of tracks on a song, usually soothing ambient music or soundscapes, so that the person listening can focus on the music and not on the frequencies they are hearing. If you either find or create effective binaural beat audios to listen to in stereo heaphones, the frequencies should blend perfectly into the background, and you should not be able to consciously notice them unless you really try to isolate them.</p>
