How to use brainwave entrainment? Well, it's one thing to get yourself some
binaural beats or isochronic tones, and quite another to actually get
the most out of them...
The big
question is: when and where can you use binaural beats and isochronic
tones? How can you get the best possible value for money?
Here's 15 ideas from the Binaural Beats Geek which will show you how to
use binaural beats to truly rock your day... and get the most out of
your investment.
15 Ways To Use Binaural Beats
Before bed. Use
binaural beats to drift off into a deep, peaceful sleep. This is great
for insomniacs and lazy folks alike.
You'll sleep like a baby after a session on the beats. Try and get some
which take you to the theta state of mind, which is as close to sleep
as you can consciously get.
First thing in the
morning. Start the day with a dose of an energy-raising
MP3, and feel awesome for the whole day. Worth getting up a few minutes
early for.
When commuting.
If you're on a train or bus, put your headphones in, shut your eyes,
kick back and spend a blissful 30 minutes experiencing another
universe, while the world around you rebels against their horrific
commuting existence ;)
With a book.
Reading a novel? Another way how to use brainwave entrainment is to
stick on some isochronic tones, and watch the book come to life before
your very eyes.
Your imagination will go into overdrive - you're likely to get a bit
carried away - and the fun factor multiplies. I've used this for
everything from a Dan Brown thriller to Winnie The Pooh...
When meditating. Do you like to meditate, but find it tricky to
quieten your mind? Try again with some binaural beats, and feel /
experience the massive difference. There's a reason I call binaural
beats "the lazy person's way to inner peace" - they do most of the hard
work for you ;)
Revise with
binaural beats.
How to use brainwave entrainment for revision? Well, there's loads of
studies done that suggest BWE tools improve visual retention and
memory.
Got a test coming up? Something new you want to learn? You'd be mad to
revise without your magic tones too ;)
At lunch.
If you have an employer liberal enough to let you spend 20 minutes at
lunch eyes shut, kicking back at your desk with a massive grin on your
face, put some isochronic tones onto your iPod, listen at lunch, and
then wait for the *huge* increase in productivity in the afternoon.
When visualising.
Do you visualize what you want your future to be like? (Please say
yes!) If so, watch how quickly your visualization practice can
transform with the use of binaural beats. I'm talking more focus, more
feelings, more vivid pictures and sensations - and better results.
When doing boring
work. Let's face it - most of us spend at least part of
our day bored, unproductive, wasting time. No need to fear - if you can
get away with headphones at work, simply plug in 20 minutes of
uplifting isochronic tones and carry on as usual. I'm betting you'll
have more fun, get more done, and feel more energised. This is one of
my favourite ways how to use brainwave entrainment.
Whilst
keeping fit.I've found binaural beats to be useful for spicing
up jogs, trips to
the gym, warming up and stretching, and yoga type stuff (not that I've
done too much of that).
If you're taking part in some relatively low level exercise, experiment
with brain wave entrainment, and see if it doesn't make the good
feelings even better than normal too.
When bored.
This is a revolutionary way how to use brainwave
entrainment: if you
get bored, take thirty minutes to listen to some beats. Er, that's it
;) Whether you want to chill out, meditate, visualize, brainstorm,
think, create - or anything else.
It may sound heretic, but I'd argue
that 30 minutes here is hands-down a better investment than watching
(yet another) re-run of Friends or South Park...
... OK, maybe not South Park
;)
In the bath. Baths
are
insanely relaxing at the best of times.
Now, take an isochronic tone recording (no headphones required), some
chilled out Zen music (included on the download), and prepare for the
bath of your life. Boom :)
In
a coffee shop. Coffee shops are fabulous places to spend
a
couple of hours reading, doodling, people watching and, er, drinking
coffee. Throw a binaural beats recording into the mix, and you're
increasing your fun by the power of 2 (at a minimum, I reckon). That's
how to use brainwave entrainment.
After
a big night.No
BS here - binaural beats and isochronic tones are the best natural
hangover cure I've come across. No matter how boozed (or worse) you
were the night before, spend half an hour the next day drifting off
with BWE - and watch your hangover slip away. And then start boozing
again with a clear head ;)
Instead of a
power nap. It's a well known and utterly proven fact of
life
that all humans love to
snooze. Fact!
The stress reduction powers of a nap are insane. The ability to (a)
feel warm and awesome, (b) come up with cool ideas, and (c) experience
great visions, are all a
trade mark of the snooze.
Even Edison and Einstein were reported nappers. Now, throw in a
binaural beats MP3 and imagine what it's like to have a
snooze using brain wave entrainment too!
See how awesome that feels? Notice the feelings and sensations. Breathe
in the awesomeness. That's
how to use brainwave entrainment.
Final Thoughts and Advice
My friends, that's 15 ways how to use brain wave
entrainment, although
the possibilities are near enough endless. Use your own imagination to
get the most
out of your investment.
In my eyes, if you get yourself some Brain Wave Toys, put them on your iPod / MP3 player, and simply go about your
business... Boom! You're laughing.
Just remember to listen whenever you fancy improving
your mood (read the effects ofbinaural beatsor isochronic entrainment for a very detailed description of what you'll experience).
You'll soon realise just how versatile BWE can be. You'll never run out
of places to have a quick session - and thus improve your day, no
questions asked.
(Just DON'T use them when
flying helicopters, spaceships -
or driving cars or operating heavy machinery, for that matter)
That is the
essence of how to use brainwave entrainment tools - in
short, use them whenever you
can. They rock!
