Again – SleepPhones System: Sleep Headphones with Binaural Beats CD

December 23, 2007

SleepPhones System: Sleep Headphones with Binaural Beats CD

I posted about these already some time ago – and I have to say: YEP! This is the solution for all who want to use their iPod or personal CD player for brainwave entrainment while sleeping (e.g. for insomnia, or for training lucid dreaming and OBEs). No more earbuds slipping out, no fatty headphones preventing sleep, no more problems when turning and moving around in your sleep.

Just click the image above and get your new headdress today!

Mind Modulations AudioStrobe Collection Volume 1

December 18, 2007

Mind Modulations AudioStrobe Collection Volume 1

This collection includes Audio Illusions by Norm Durkee, Dreams in the Minds Eye by Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, Journey of the Drums by Muruga Booker, Tibetan Highlands by Richard Moffett, and Water Planet by Andrzej Slawinski (Tomas Lab.).

AudioStrobe technology allows you to use specially encoded music CDs with Light and Sound Mind Machines. AudioStrobe music CDs are capable of controlling the lights on these machines to induce an experience much like synaesthesia.

The composers of AudioStrobe CDs attempt to create a visual representation of their music so that the listener can see what the music sounds like while it is playing. The artist can synchronize patterns, colors, and geometric shapes with their music by controlling the light frames with their AudioStrobe composition.

The light signals can be modulated very subtly, reacting to the finest of nuances; an audio-visual art is createdLeft and right LiteFrame frequency and brightness can be independently controlled using this technique. These AudioStrobe CDs lead you through entrancing dreamscapes and mythic journeys towards the deepest realms of your unconscious mind.

The AudioStrobe technique uses a control signal embedded into the music on the CD. Because the signals are mastered at the same time as the CD, a very precise synchronization of audio and visual stimulation can be achieved. These control signals cannot be perceived by the human ear, as they are outside of our normal audible range.

Because of this, AudioStrobe CDs can also be used as normal music CDs outside of a light & sound machine session. AudioStrobe technology was invented in Germany by a composer and biomedical researcher named Andrzej Slawinski. Andrzej created this technology because of a profound interest in synaesthesia. These Audiostrobe CDs are compatible with the Mind Modulations Proteus & Sirius Light and Sound Mind Machines
Customer Review: Very good collection…..
This is a good collection of CDs for the Proteus light machine. The music is well coordinated with the lights and there is a good variety of material…

Music for Brainwave Massage

December 13, 2007

Music for Brainwave Massage

This is one of the CD sets I use on a regular basis. It has no “specific” purpose like many other brainwave sessions. It is a “massage” for your brain, sending you through different states, relaxing, softly tingling, and all woven into above-average “spiritual” music and natural sounds.

Great for beginners, those who are unfamiliar with the deeper concepts of brainwave technology and just want to “try” it and have a good, relaxing, refreshing time.

Which makes it a great gift as well.  Good stuff.

Comment: a WONDERful brainwave collection for those who prefer nature sounds to music or pure brainwaves. And obviously made with “real sounds”, not just the usual standard sampled rain… highly recommended and a nice gift as well!

Tip: Before Brainwaving – go pee!

December 2, 2007

Might sound stupid – but it is something many people take weeks to realize. A friend of mine even thought she had some bladder infection or worse…

The processes triggered by many brainwave sessions activate the metabolism and cleansing in your cells and body. In addition, many sessions use background sounds like “white noise” or “pink noise”, waterfalls, rain, ocean surfs, etc. – the result is predictable.

So even if you feel no immediate urge: use the toilet before you sit/lay down for a meditation session with brainwave support. There is nothing more distracting than that certain feeling of having to pee urgently…

And if you use brainwave entrainment to fall asleep or shortly before: don’t be astonished if you have to get up and go to the bathroom once or twice each night, even if you normally do not have to get up. There is nothing wrong – your body is just working more and better than usual and gets rid of a lot of stuff…

On a side note: it is also a good idea to drink a glass of water before every session! The increased brain activity and blood circulation might otherwise cause a stong feeling of thirst – and this is almost as distracting as the opposite…

Have good undisturbed sessions and be well! :)

If it wasn’t for a strange noise that sounds like a dead soul calling from beyond (creepy!) from time to time, it would be great.

Best Brainwaves for Visualizing?

November 30, 2007

Are you like me? That kind of analytical mind, quite sharp, but totally unable to “see” a thing in your mind?

When I close my eyes and try to visualize something – there is usually that comfy velvet darkness. And some slight flickers and sparks. Images? Vivid colors? HD movies like some folks can easily project on their internal TV screen? No way.

I found it quite hard for me to change that and learn to “see” images (geometrical figures, timeline events, things to “manifest”, the faces of beloved people, or the simple heavy repository box from the Hemi-Sync exercises…) – and the first real successes I had was after using certain brainwave sessions.

So let me ask you a question: what are YOU using to make the internal imagery more vivid (or make it appear at all…) ???

So far I had the best results with the first edition of “OptiMINDzation” from Stephen Pierce (no matter if you like the guy or not…), and some of the Meta-Music editions from the Monroe Institute (like “Breath of Creation”).

But I am still looking for the ultimate tool to crack open the visual capabilities of my mind. Maybe just patience and exercise is needed, but I would love if we could exchange a few ideas what works best for this purpose!

Thanks and happy visualizing! ;-)

Brainwave Nature Suite

Personal note: I have NOT (yet) tried these. Anyone has them and would like to share experiences? Sometimes I like the “themed” CDs, because I can choose from many and fit my current mood / situation / purpose of my meditation (if any). But usually I prefer the “pure” tones (or minimalistic sound “camouflage” around the waves), they are more efficient for me. More on that in an article later today.

Turn. Down. The Volume.

November 27, 2007

Heheh – just had to experience it myself again: a lot of people new to “brainwave stuff” make the mistake to listen to the sessions WAY too loud.

Why is that no good?

Two reasons:

1. If you “hammer” the binaural beats and the carrier tones into your ears and brain, you just get a headache. Or tinnitus. Or something. And no meditative states at all. Size/volume does not matter in that case – actually it is counterproductive.

2. If you use a guided meditation, are deep in trance, and there is a pause in the vocal track, the sudden assault of the voice after the pause can have a really unpleasant startling effect “Whoohooo???!? WTF? Who am I, where am I, and WHY the f*** is this voice so frigging loud and WHERE the heck does it come from???”.

So: better turn down the volume. Way more healthy and effective.

Most sessions can be listened to at a level where the voice can JUST be understood, more like a whisper. Your senses will be more alert during meditation anyways, so you probably won’t miss a thing.

I wish you pleasant meditations without any shock effects! ;-)

Brainwave Meditation

November 26, 2007

Brainwave Meditation – one of the easiest way to meditate.

Reach the deepest levels of meditation. Obtain clarity and insight. Experience mind-still blissful peace. Now you can quickly reach depths of meditation that would otherwise take years of practice to attain.
BrainSync’s precision-engineered frequencies massage your brain into mind-still blissful states of peace. With this program 87% of research subjects who never meditated before were able to enter the theta state in their very first session.

Guided Meditation: Kelly Howell guides you to create your own inner healing sanctuary, a place where you can go to revitalize the very core of your being. You will learn how to generate states of being that nurture your sense of self, your creativity, and the dynamic expression of your power in the world.

Deep Meditation: Completely free of spoken words, this program delivers a unique combination of brainwave frequencies that produce an extraordinary mind-awake/body-asleep state. Negative thoughts are dramatically swept away by brilliant flashes of insight and understanding as you experience untold depths of inner peace.

Clinical studies show that theta meditation increases creativity, enhances cognition, deepens perception, aids in overcoming substance abuse, and awakens intuition. In just 30 minutes you’ll reap the same powerful benefits meditation masters have documented for millennium. The results are profound. This 2-CD extra value package includes both Guided Meditation and Deep Meditation at a special price.

Remarks: For me personally Kelly Howell and her voice are a bit too “esotheric” in the negative sense of the word. Just too much angels, “god” (pronounced with that slightly slimey voice…) and so on… But for others exactly THIS is what helps them jump over the fence. So however – what helps to open up the horizon and works is just fine. ;-)
