Brainwave entrainment is a technology that enables the synchronization of brainwaves using light or auditory stimuli. Brainwaves are detected on EEG and are electrical patterns that have different frequencies. You have probably heard of alpha and beta waves. Alpha waves are associated with a relaxed daydreaming state, and beta, the fastest waves, with an active, thinking state. Delta waves are the slow waves associated with deep sleep. Theta waves occur with light sleep, dreaming, and creativity.
You can cause the brain to go into one of these rhythms by using brainwave entrainment technology. If you are exposed to light or sound pulsing at a specific frequency, your brain waves will start to fall into that same rhythm, with both hemispheres in harmony. Such synchronized states have been associated with reduced stress, enhanced creativity, better mental performance, greater emotional stability, and other benefits. Research has found that people in deep meditative states have achieved this harmonious brain synchronization.
Holosync is a technology that uses sound to entrain your brain in harmonious rhythms. It uses what are called “binaural beats,” in which each ear is presented a slightly different frequency. The difference between the frequency creates a rhythm of that frequency in the brain. For Holosync to work, you need to use stereo headphones.
If you are looking for an easy way to get into a deep meditation, Holosync is a quick way to get there. You don’t need years of meditative practice. The brain entrainment technology puts you in that state very quickly. Being in a particular brainwave pattern also allows you to receive the benefits associated with that pattern. Aside from a good meditation session, regular use of Holosync has long term benefits such as improved emotional state, creativity, relaxation, and better cognitive performance.
The Holosync program consists of several levels that you advance through over time. The frequencies are changed as you advance so that you don’t get accustomed to one level with decreasing benefits. Each level has two 30-minute sections. The first section is called The Dive and has a background sound of falling rain with the pleasant ringing of Tibetan singing bowls. The second section is Immersion and is the falling rain only. If you listen carefully, you can faintly hear the pulsing of the binaural beats.
I have used Holosync for some years now and found it to be an excellent way to meditate, as well as creating subtle improvements in my life and emotional well-being.
