How does it work?
This is actually really easy to understand.
When rhythms that resemble your natural internal brainwave activities or brain states, are presented to your brain, it then naturally synchronizes its own electric cycles.
Now, your brain will mimic that input. In other words it will naturally start producing similar states of mind (such as deep relaxation, focused attention or heightened wakefulness).
These beat & tone frequencies that mimic your actual brainwave activity are ‘Infrasonic’ (imperceptible by the ear).
This simple phenomenon is known in the scientific community as ‘Entrainment’ or Frequency Following Response.
So, in other words, your brain now easily and naturally moves from one brain state to another brain state through use of this completely external stimulus (i.e. sound waves which broadcast a specific brain state).
For example ~ say you are in the Alpha state (highly alert) and a stimulus of 10Hz is applied to your brain for some time, your brain frequency will now make a gradual shift towards the applied stimulus.
The effect will relax you within minutes ~ without drugs,
without any invasive techniques ~ just sound.
When a brainwave state is experienced and practiced over a period of time, the brain will “learn” this state change and it will become easier to ‘self-produce’ the desired brainwave state at will.
The technique shares some similarities with holistic meditative modalities that you already know like transcendental meditation and other imagery techniques. In fact, it can really super-charge your meditation practice.
But we take this even further because Intentional Brainwave Integration™ has a unique goal in assisting you to easily achieve brainwave entrainment states which stimulate natural positive chemical production in your body.
So, using Brainwave Entrainment, you can re-train your body & mind to achieve the same effects later, even without any external stimulus at all!
This is what Intentional Brainwave Integration™ is designed to do for you.
It can be used repeatedly, almost anytime, and
either alone or with other therapies.
Our unique Intentional Brainwave Integration™ incorporates Binaural Beats and Isochronic Tones in our protocol to aid deeper relaxation, as well as other benefits.
What are Binaural Beats?
The sensation of ‘auditory’ Binaural Beats used in Brainwave Entrainment happens when 2 clear sounds (of nearly similar frequencies) are played (one to each ear), through stereo headphones or speakers. Your brain then effortlessly integrates those 2 signals. Now you get the sensation of a third sound which is called a ‘Binaural Beat’.
Technically these Binaural Beats actually originate directly in your own brain stem, in what’s called your Superior Olivary Nucleus, which is the site of contra-lateral integration of auditory input ~ but, YOU sense it as being right in the center of your head. It’s an amazing enjoyable sensation.
Why is Intentional Brainwave Integration™ So Effective?
It works through the computer generation of complex, multi-layered audio signals, which act together to create a resonance that is reflected in unique brain wave patterns characteristic of specific brain wave ‘states’ (like waking, learning, sleeping).
The result is that you easily achieve a naturally focused, whole-brain state known as Brainwave Synchronization. The technique shares some similarities with holistic meditative modalities (like transcendental meditation that you may have heard of) and other imagery techniques.
However, Intentional Brainwave Integration™ has a unique goal in assisting you to easily achieve brainwave entrainment states which stimulate natural positive chemical production in your body.
Now researchers have cataloged and continue to develop specific sounds which can be blended and sequenced to gently lead your brain to various states ranging from natural deep relaxation or sleep, to expanded states of awareness and other “extraordinary” states.
In fact, through our specialized Intentional Brainwave Integration™ software, we can actually tailor beneficial holistic programs for the individual needs of our clients.
Pioneering research by Olav Skille, Petri Lehikoinen, Gerald Oster, Robert Monroe, Charles Tart, Russell Targ, Hal Putoff, Stanley Krippner, Stanislav Grof, Edgar Mitchell, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Gary Robert Buchanan, Hans Jenny and others determined that certain sounds create a ‘Frequency Following Response’ in the electrical activity of our brains, which further led to some remarkable findings dealing with the very nature of human consciousness.
