I found out about Brainwave Entrainment and Holosync not too long ago.  I had never meditated before, and honestly was not really interested in meditating.  Not that I had anything against it, I just never really thought about trying to meditate.  When I discovered Holosync and Brainwave Entrainment as a method to accelerate meditative states and benefits, I was a bit sceptical.  The websites that talked about this technology made it sound like they had discovered the Holy Grail of psychotherapy.  But as was willing to give it a try, especially considering there was a money back guarantee, so what did I have to lose really?  So I tried it. 

The sounds were nice and relaxing, this was all I could say about it at first listen.  But I had to give it a chance.  And I did.  Now again, I am not the most spiritual guy, nor, like I said, have I ever meditated before.  So after giving this a try for about 40 minutes a day for about a week, I was truly amazed by the deep states of relaxation I was in and how my mind was handling all the stress I have been going through so much better.  This stuff made me a believer in Holosync and Brainwave Entrainment.  Read on to find out more about Brainwave Entrainment.  You can also check out the product that I was using by >>CLICKING HERE<<

Binaural beats are a form of brain entrainment. This just means they are used to change the brainwave patterns that the brain produces. When brainwave patterns are changed are corresponding change occurs in the emotional state of a person and in their body!

Research has shown that all physical states have corresponding brainwave states. This means that anxiety, stress, emotional distress or any number of negative mental and physical states have certain brainwave patterns associated with them. By using binaural beats you can alliviate the symptoms of these states and even remove them by changing the brainwave pattern associated with them.

Likewise, positive states such as deep relaxation, sleep, calmness etc., also have certain brainwave patterns. It is easy to create these states by using binaural beats.

Experiments have also shown that certain brainwave patterns accelerate learning, emotional growth and remove negative emotions associated with memories, trauma etc..

There are people who have known this for thousands of years and who have practised their own method for inducing these brainwave patterns. Before binaural beats the only other way to create changes in your brainwave frequencies was through deep meditation. It normally takes over 20 years to learn how to enter these deep states.

Now though, we can have access to these states easily through brain entrainment.

Binaural beats allows anyone to enter deep meditative states within minutes. All you need are stereo headphones and a well chosen brain entrainment track.

Binaural beats were discovered in 1839 by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove. He discovered, as an Associate Professor at the University of Berlin, that when he played one sound into the right ear and a similar sound, that was only slightly different in frequency, to the left ear, the brain produced a beat effect. The brain interprets the difference between the two frequencies and creates a beat even though one does not exist. These are binaural beats.

In 1973 a paper was published titled "Auditory Beats in the Brain" which outlined the findings of Dr. Gerald Oster who investigated the uses of binaural beats.

The report showed how Gerald Oster expanded on Dove’s discovery. Oster discovered that through the use of binaural beats he could alter a subject’s brainwaves to match the beat.

On every occasion the listener’s brainwaves would begin to resonate to the same frequency as the binaural beats. Oster had discovered that by using these beats he could create precise mental and physical states.

Later research has concluded that binaural beats can be used as a method of meditation which brings all the same benefits that traditional meditation does. This means that as well as using them to create relaxation, deep sleep, calmness etc., it can be used as a means for personal, emotional and mental growth. Binaural beats can literally be used to change you from the inside out!

Meditation is a spiritual experience. It is simply an easy method for relaxing the body and calming the mind and which  anyone can learn and enjoy. Meditation is a very soothing way to cope with the anxieties and stresses of every day life. The desired purpose of each meditation is to channel our awareness into a more positive direction by totally transforming one’s state of mind. The individual preparing to meditate usually starts by harnessing his awareness, such as focusing his mind onto a certain object, or "listening to the silence between thoughts" and by ignoring distractions of the world around us, by refocusing your mind when you see it drifting off. Just like an athlete training, each time you meditate it’s like training one of your muscles and that way you are making your mind stronger.

However, more than anything meditation is a big blessing for one’s personal growth as it turns more positive energy towards life at large. Meditation also helps you to relieve stress and gives the mind that ultimate peace. Meditation calms your body and mind, enabling your nervous system to function at it’s best, producing healthy ‘feel good’ chemicals such as Serotonin and Endorphins, which counteract the constant barrage of toxins in our system brought on by stress and anxiety in our hectic lives. Meditation is also a very effective technique for improving creativity and problem solving capabilities.

Meditation is a very soothing way to cope with the anxieties and stresses of every day life. Meditation is a term used by a large number of religions, but all having the same goal, to bring the consciousness of the practitioner to a state in which he can come to an experience of ‘awakening,’ ‘liberation,’ ‘enlightenment.’ The historical Buddha himself, Buddha Shakyamuni, was said to have achieved enlightenment while meditating under a Bodhi tree.

Many people in this world want to meditate, but they do not know how to meditate or don’t know where to start. Well, one can go for a guided meditation. However, it’s very difficult to find a good instructor and Apart from that, many people sometimes may find it difficult to schedule time in their busy lives for meditation.

But, would you be surprised to know? That with simple soothing sounds from a Zen garden with meditation bowls this can help you to calm down your mind and achieve these states. The subliminal audio waves help you to calm your mind, to concentrate more easily and will have you meditating at profoundly deep levels, just like a Yogi. It will have you experiencing those levels, which are only experienced by advanced practitioners that have been training for many years. I call it Serenity and it makes meditating easy. Hypnotic Yogi Research Institute has done research on perfecting Serenity.

Serenity can gives you many benefits in life. It can help you with health by inducing positive thoughts in your mind. It can help you in reducing your blood pressure. Meditation is very helpful for people who are unhealthy and trying to reduce weight. Yes, it helps in weight reduction. Moreover, Serenity gives you the strength to cope with the every day stresses that occur during heavy traffic, office work pressure and more. Meditation is a safe and simple way to balance a person’s Spiritual, physical, emotional, and physiological states.

Holosync product centred on the idea that you could listen to a CD and enter a state of meditation akin to that of a Zen Buddhist Monk.

Before we take a look at the technology behind Holosync, the benefits of using it and potential pitfalls it may have, it is best to have a clear understanding of the benefits of meditation. You can then determine if you will gain benefit from using Holosync and if you can see the potential rewards it can offer to your life.

Here are a few of the many proven benefits of meditation (and Holosync):

– Leads to a deeper level of relaxation.
– Reduces anxiety attacks.
– Lowers blood pressure.
– Decreases pain due to muscle tension such as headaches.
– Helps with diseases such as arthritis and reduces allergy symptoms.
– Speeds recovery time after operations.
– Enhances the immune system.
– Reduces and removes emotional distress.
– Slows down and reduces the activity of viruses in the body.
– Reinforces natural defences within the body to successfully fight bacteria, viruses and cancerous cells.
– It helps resolve phobias.
– Increases serotonin which influences moods and behaviour.
– Helps eliminate negative emotional stresses and remove intense negative emotions from memories.
– Reduces anger.
– Eliminates unwanted habits & behaviours.
– Enlightenment and the sense of Oneness associated with it.

Eliminating stress from mind and body is one of the greatest benefits of meditation. When meditation is performed regularly it has been shown to completely and positively change a person’s reactions to stressful and irritating situations. As you progress in your meditative practices you find that less and less things irritate you.

I hope you agree that the benefits to mind and body of meditating regularly are enormous. However, in order to successfully reach the point that you can meditate away your emotional connection to past memories, reduce your blood pressure and resolve phobias takes many, many years – in some cases a lifetime!

Holosync is a 21st Century tool for effortless meditation. Holosync uses brain entrainment through the use of binaural beats. Binaural beats are separate individual tones, which resonate at slightly different frequencies, presented to the left and right ear. Holosync lets you hear these beats in a way that creates altered states of consciousness by changing the brainwave patterns of the listener. Without wanting to get too technical about the Holosync program I will say that these binaural beats are capable of producing the alpha, theta, delta and normal everyday beta states. Holosync creates extremely deep meditative states within minutes.

If you feel you could benefit from meditation and believe that the results it produces would be advantageous to you but you do not have the time or discipline to learn and practise conventional meditative techniques then you would clearly benefit from using a technology such as Holosync.

The negative side of practising meditation and also using Holosync is negligible. It is necessary to put aside at least 40 minutes every day to meditate or listen to Holosync. Also, you will probably experience some emotional discomfort during your Holosync sessions as old memories, and the feelings associated with them, are stirred-up in your consciousness. This is a necessary evil as your brain is actually eliminating the negative emotions from the memory so that you are left with the memory but with no negative emotional connection to it.

Holosync programs are usually designed to be completed in stages. Each stage removes unwanted emotional baggage from your consciousness and leaves you with a permanent state of increased peace, health and inner harmony. You do not have to finish the entire Holosync program to gain and keep the benefits offered by each individual level. After each Holosync stage is complete the benefits you have received are permanent.

However, to gain the maximum benefit from Holosync it is advisable to complete all the stages as you will be transformed, for the better, in ways that you can now only imagine or not even imagine. Your entire life will benefit from using Holosync.

Today, more and more people are stressed out and made sick by everyday life. In fact, I see it in my practice with my clients.

‘I can’t meet with you because I have so many things to do’.

‘And now, I am sick because I have so many things to do, and can’t take off from (fill in the blank)’.

‘Plus, I can’t even think straight because of my phone, blackberry, pager, laptop, etc.’

‘And, now I have even more things to do…’

This ‘endless spiral’ lifestyle makes it hard for anyone, super-human or otherwise, to stay motivated.

And, how about you?

How do you really feel when you wake up each day? Do you lack energy and as a result fear facing the new day ahead?

And, how do you feel throughout your day? Do you feel exhausted by 9:30 in the morning? Even more drained in the afternoon? Are you unable to concentrate or think clearly?

Are you feeling run down from high levels of stress at work, in traffic, at home and from life? Do you get frequent headaches? Frequent colds and sickness? Experience shortness of breath even from the slightest physical exertion? Did you put on a few extra pounds this year?

I’ll bet that you can probably answer YES to one or all of these. (And, come up with a few others on your own if you take some time to think about it.)

So, what can you do to beat stress, be healthy and stay motivated?

Here’s my solution – Qigong. And, with continued practice of Qigong you can start on a journey to better health and well being!

WHAT IS QIGONG?

Qigong, also known as Chi Gong or Chi Kung, has been practiced throughout China, Korea and other Asian countries for thousands of years and continues to be practiced daily in parks, schools, gyms and at home. In my visits to Asian countries, I always see groups of people, young and old, women and men, congregating at sunrise to do their Qigong exercises.

Qi means ‘breath or gas’ in Mandarin Chinese and is the energy produced by breathing that keeps us alive; gong means ‘work or technique’. Qigong is then the "breath work" or the art of managing the breath to achieve and maintain good health and to enhance the energy mobilization and stamina of the body in coordination with the physical process of respiration. Unlike other physical exercises, such as weight lifting, aerobics or running, Qigong can be, and should be done everyday.

Qigong involves the coordination of different breathing patterns with various physical postures and motions of the body. The gentle, graceful movements, combined with controlled breathing and meditation make Qigong an ideal health and fitness program for women, men and children of all ages.

As we age, we lose a little of our energy and health, year after year. But there’s good news you don’t have to. With Qigong exercises you can balance and enhance your mental, physical, and metabolic functions your mind, body and spirit. You can learn to concentrate on and control your breathing which is an important component of the relaxation response; so very critical in combating and managing stress. And, you can strengthen your immune system for a longer, healthier life.

THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY IS EMBRACING IT!

Recent scientific evidence has proven the power of the mind and its thoughts on the health of the body; in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, recuperation from injury and in lessening pain. In fact, a recent programs on PBS, NBC and others, have established that the mind, body and spirit are all active ‘ingredients’ for overall well being and good health, and critical in preventing disease or living well with chronic disease. Leading medical institutions, such as the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Texas and Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center in New Jersey, now provide and teach Qigong. The University of Arizona and Duke University also offer courses in Integrative and Alternative Medicine to physicians.

WHAT WILL YOU GAIN FROM CONTINUED PRACTICE?

There are many Qigong exercises that can help specific areas of your body, mind and spirit. Here are three that target some of the key health issues today.

STRENGTHEN YOUR CIRCULATION AND IMMUNE SYSTEM WITH CIRCULATION QIGONG:

Circulatory system diseases are a significant burden in terms of morbidity, mortality, and use of health care services. According to the National Center for Health Statistics and the CDC, expenditures for circulatory diseases total nearly 20% of all personal health care expenditures.

Ongoing practice of Circulation Qigong provides the following health benefits:

1)It directly stimulates the organ meridians to strengthen blood circulation,
2)It also strengthens the lymphatic system that protects the body from being infected by cancer cells, fungi, viruses and bacteria,
3)Circulation Qigong also detoxifies your tissues,
4)When the function of these systems is improved; the health and wellbeing of all your internal organs, your immune system, and your brain function will be improved.

RELEASE STRESS AND TENSION WITH STRESS RELIEF QIGONG:

Stress Relief Qigong controls high blood pressure and releases tension. Evidence suggests that reducing your blood pressure by only 5-6 points can decrease the risk of stroke by 40%, of coronary heart disease by 15-20%, and reduce the likelihood of dementia, heart failure, and mortality from vascular disease.

Some of the other benefits you gain are:

1)Release of your stress,
2)Improvement and control of your breathing,
3)And calming and strengthening of your internal organs.

INCREASE YOUR MENTAL POWER WITH CONCENTRATION QIGONG:

The exercises for Concentration are important in that they increase your mental power and all of your senses, including the sense of smell. The inability to identify the smell of lemons, lilac, leather and other smells predicts which people will develop Alzheimer’s Disease, according to a study presented at the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology’s annual meeting. It is estimated that world-wide the number of people with Alzheimer’s will increase 238% over the next 30 years! In the U.S. alone it is the third costliest disease after heart disease and cancer! So, it is very important to consistently practice these exercises to improve our concentration.

With consistent practice of Concentration Qigong exercises, you can improve:

1)Your ability to concentrate,
2)Mental capabilities and
3)Your probability of a longer, healthier life.

In summary, Qigong is an excellent addition to improve your health regimen and keep you on track for a healthy lifestyle. Through continued, diligent practice you will reap the many benefits of Qigong and help your mind, body, and spirit heal naturally, so that you can stay motivated and on top of your ‘game’.

Do you want to meditate? Well if you do, there are a lot of meditation methods that one can choose from. Meditation doesn’t always have to mean sitting down with crossed legged position and eyes closed, it can be as simple as walking and standing. Anytime that we concentrate on something other than our thoughts, we are already meditating. We can meditate while we walk, move, lie down, stand, sit, or even while silent or speaking. And there is always no perfect position for meditation, whatever is most comfortable for a person that would allow him to meditate is fine.

There are two kinds of meditation, moving meditation and still meditation. Moving meditation involves movements of the body such as Qi Gong, Tai Chi, Yoga, dancing, walking and jogging. In this case rhythmic series of movements and the mind concentrates or is centered on breath. Thoughts are recognized without judgment and then our focus goes back to breath. Focus can also be on the movement itself, the flowing internal energy from the body, the external environment, or even in the case of dancing, the connection to music. In still meditation on the other hand, our bodies and minds are unmoving. Sitting, standing, or lying meditation focuses on anything; breath, counting, a mantra (sound), candles, incense, a rock, a spot on the ground or ceiling, the birds, the sky, anything your heart desires. Thoughts are recognized without judgment, then let go, and concentration is brought back to what you were originally focused on. Breathing is through the nose in a natural unforced manner.

Here are some common meditation methods:

Standing Meditation
This is one of the meditation methods that are a great exercise to practice proper breathing and a simple way to concentrate and regain proper breathing techniques like what we naturally had when we were infants.

Stand comfortably with your spine straight and feet about shoulder distance apart, opening the left hand and placing the thumb on your belly button so the palm of the hand is against the lower abdomen, then place you right hand on top of left in the same manner. Breathe slowly and feel the lower part of your abdomen expand and naturally pushing away your hands outward your belly. Hold the breath for four seconds and then exhale slowly, feeling your lower abdomen contracting inward as the air is released. Recognize the thoughts without judgment and bring back the concentration to your breath.

Walking Meditation
One of the meditation methods that is a very effective way of exercising and meditating. Simply walk at a natural and comfortable pace, concentrate on the sole of your feet touching making contact with the earth. Focus on the spot in the center of your foot just at the forward part of the arch. With each step feel this spot making contact with the earth and extending into the earth, next foot after the other. Allow normal, relaxed breathing through the lower abdomen. Recognize thoughts without judgment bringing back the concentration to the sole of the foot or your breath.

Holosync/Brainwave Entrainment

There is a method of meditating that is geared for beginners, however even the most advanced meditators can benefit from this tool as well — its called Brainwave Entrainment.  It is as simple as putting on some headphone and letting the relaxing, yet scientifically reproduced, sounds lull you into a deep state of meditative relaxation.  To find out more about Holosync >>CLICK HERE<<

Lying Meditation
This is one of the meditation methods that is simple and can be done upon bedtime or prior to a nap, by simply lying down and focusing the attention on breath. Breathing should be into and out of the lower abdomen. Concentrate on inhaling and exhaling, or counting the breaths. Focus on a spot on the ceiling or the sky if you’re outdoors. Recognize thoughts without judgment bringing back concentration back to breathing.

Sitting Meditation (Zazen)
These meditation methods involve finding a comfortable sitting position for you. You can sit comfortably either in a chair with your feet flat on the ground or crossed legged on the floor (left leg over right) using a cushion under the buttocks for comfort and to prop up the hips higher than the knees. In either case, the back should always be straight but without straining. The palms of the hands are open and can be placed on the thighs, palms up or you can bring the hands together, left palm on top of the right palm, thumbs barely touching each other, resting comfortably against the lower abdomen.

Once you find a comfortable sitting position for you, you can use spoken or silent mantra, or listen to soothing music or sound, or focus on a candle, burning incense or other small objects, or just simply breath. Breathing should be natural and through the nose. Head is tilted slightly downward and the body is completely relaxed. Recognize thoughts without judgment and bring back concentration to the original object of focus.

Remember that these meditation methods have no goals, there is no bad or good meditation, there is simply meditating.
