Brainwave Entrainment: Benefits of Meditation on Demand
Brainwave entrainment uses sound technology to help you achieve a desired state of mind. It produces an effect similar to meditation but is different in one significant way. It’s fast.
If you are looking for a way to improve concentration, reduce stress, and increase creativity, it doesn’t get any easier than using entrainment technology.
While it is high-tech, the science of brainwave entrainment is easy to understand, once you know a few basics.
Understanding Brainwaves
Your brain cells generate electricity to communicate with each other. This electrical activity forms patterns or waves. Scientists have identified four main brainwave states:
- Alpha: Occurs when we are aware but physically and mentally relaxed.
- Beta: Occurs when we are alert, afraid, or tense.
- Theta: Occurs in that drowsy state we experience just before falling asleep.
- Delta: Occurs when we are soundly asleep.
The Phenomenon of Entrainment
The phenomenon of entrainment was discovered by a Dutch scientist over four hundred years ago. He noticed that his room full of pendulum clocks synchronized automatically. Even when he intentionally disrupted their rhythms, they would always re-synchronize. He called this phenomenon entrainment.
Since then, there has been a lot of research on entrainment and it has been found to commonly exist in nature. Fireflies entrain their flashing and frogs entrain their croaking.
