”The Zone” Binaural CD
Listening
to The Zone is a bit like lucid dreaming without going to sleep, or getting
high without inhaling. The Zone state of mind is the same as that induced by
long-distance running, or the level obtained by doing monotonous work over
extended periods.
Relating
mind levels to cycle-per-second activity, the hypnogogic
state is the bottom of alpha, top of theta. This is the level Albert Einstein
claimed to have received his ideas and Mozart composed music. But we’ve tweaked
the electronics to take you deeper into theta, while at the same time remaining
alert and focused on your creative endeavours.
Play the CD while you train, create, think, study or have sex. You can
expect your level of focus to become so intense that time will seem to
disappear (you go into “The Zone” experiencing to be in the flow of things).
Using
The Zone CD couldn't be simpler! Like
all our binaural beat recordings, simply slip on your stereo headphones and
press the "Play" button on your CD player. The binaural beats will automatically
begin affecting your brainwaves, and you'll soon realize the benefit!
A quick
explanation: When you see the words trance, hypnosis, meditation or altered
state of consciousness, they are different words meaning the same thing. If
you’re wide awake in mid-beta consciousness, the cycle-per-second electrical
activity of your brain -- converted to beats per minutes -- is about 850 beats per
minute. When your consciousness is altered (with electronics or standard
hypnosis or meditation techniques) to deep alpha, you slow to about 140 beats
per minute. This is the hypnogogic level -- bottom of
alpha, top of theta. Deep sleep is the delta range -- mid-range about 30 beats
per minute. There is no place else to go. The difference between meditation and
hypnosis (commonly called trance), amounts to nothing more than how most people
use their time in trance.
Writers
sitting at the keyboard for long periods go into trance. Distance runners
go into trance after running some distance. People watching TV are
often in trance. People who tend to daydream, are
often in trance. Anyone who focuses upon what they’re doing to the point that
time seems to disappear, is probably in trance. And when in trance, you’ve
increased your level of suggestibility by 25 to 200 times.
Any of
our mind-electronics programs can be used with your eyes open or closed,
depending up what you seek to accomplish. But I’ll start with The Zone,
because it was created to be used with your eyes open.
Here’s
how I use it: During training, both Yoga and martial arts. This is something I have
learned from living and training with a range of masters from Kung Fu, Tai Chi
and Yoga to Russian Spec Ops instructors. The best ones used some kind of
monotonous sounds in the background while I was practicing. I thought it was a
bit funny, but I accepted it as a part of the tradition. It was not until I
started training with a highly regarded instructor from a certain Spec Op unit
in the
I had
been using alpha and theta recordings for meditation for several years already
at this time. However I had not been studying the subject, it was more a habit,
since I felt I went down much faster. As I saw it used in a scientific way, I
started to study the subject. I got to see a lot of studies on how the
different levels of brainwaves, influenced on the various bodily and mental
functions.
Just to
cut the story short, I found that according to studies done both in
Also as
I am writing the words you’re now reading, the CD is playing in the background,
so I’m writing in trance. Because I spend a lot of time at the keyboard, I
automatically go into an altered-state when I write, but not as deep and not
with the degree of focus I attain when also listening to The Zone.
Writing
like this, alone in my home studio, time literally disappears. I might write
all morning without a break and it feels as if only a few minutes have gone by.
At this mind level, to some degree, I’ve removed the filters that normally
block access to my subconscious mind. This means, I more easily draw upon
greater knowledge in my area of focus. The subconscious is a memory bank and
contains memories of everything you’ve every said, done or learned.
For
those accepting metaphysical concepts, another value to writing/creating at
this level is the potential of channelling information from more evolved
entities on the other side. I usually ask for this kind of help when I want it.
But sometimes upon editing my words, I realize I’ve written about a concept I
had no conscious knowledge
Although
The Zone was created for eyes-open focus, I’ve also been using it
for eyes-closed meditation. I’m an overly-conditioned subject and if at all
tired, I can easily drift off into a nap. When meditating with The Zone
I’m less likely to do this. I should add here that I would normally use Deep
Meditation for a eyes-closed meditation.
Deep Meditation
Deep
Meditation have "knocked out" several
professional. They couldn't believe how effective it was. "My eyes started
to REM about 10 seconds after you put it on," said one hypnotist. (Eye-REM
indicates deep trance.)
Deep Meditation combines vibrational theta
waves with a delta-rhythm (deep sleep) pulse to generate an enhanced hypnogogic state of mind in which you are open to receive
subjective images and inspiration. This is the deep meditative level that used
to take people months and years of practice to attain. Albert Einstein claimed
to have received his ideas in this state, and Mozart composed music at this
level.
NOTE: You must fully awaken yourself after turning off the CD.
Listening
to any mind-electronics program will quickly put you into an altered state of
consciousness ... or hypnosis if your prefer. You may
not realize you’re in trance, but if you can hear the sound, your consciousness
will quickly shift. Now, once you’re comfortable, and your eyes are closed,
direct yourself to obtain the awareness you desire.
Keep your body young, alive, and fully
functioning!
I
was truly amazed the first time I used this technology myself more than 20
years ago. The research I had read was absolutely true! As I continued to use
the tapes on a regular basis, I developed a new sense of balance and 'flow' in
my life. When I learned how it worked, it made total sense. And here is some of
the stuff I discovered:
Science
has known for years that in human beings certain electrical patterns in the
brain correspond to different mental abilities and different mental states.
Most
of the time, we are in something called the beta brain wave pattern - the
pattern of normal waking consciousness. Beta waves are associated with
concentration, alertness, and cognition. At its highest, most rapid levels,
beta waves are associated with anxiety, disharmony and unease. (The ability to
slow yourself down when you're at those levels would be, of course, beneficial
to you.)
If
we relax a bit, we go into an alpha brain wave pattern. In an alpha brain
wave state, a person is very relaxed, but also - very effortlessly - remains
focused. Concentration is easy in this state. In fact...
The
mind takes in information, stores it, and remembers it at a level far higher
than normal!
Yes
this technology can actually improve memory! In one study we find that the test
scores were not only higher than normal, but were accomplished in only half the
study time! In another, time spent studying was reduced 24% - while recall
increased 26%!
Alpha
is also often associated with what is known as 'the superlearning
state' - the ability to learn, process, store, and recall large amounts of
information quickly and efficiently.
Theta
waves are slower, produced during dreaming sleep, but also associated with
'a-ha!' experiences, increased memory, and what are called integrative experiences
(in which we make broadly based positive changes in the way we see ourselves,
others, or certain life situations).
Theta
is also the brain pattern of (among other things) increased creativity. It
is the brain wave state in which Thomas Edison's greatest ideas came to him!
Some call it being 'in the zone!'
Dr.
Thomas Budzynski, a noted researcher in this field,
has said that critical and often self-sabotaging filters of the left brain
are bypassed in a theta state, and that in terms of making positive changes
in beliefs or habit patterns, 'a lot of work gets done very quickly.'
Best
of all, theta is also a state of tremendous stress relief! In the slower theta
brain wave pattern, the brain makes lots of relaxing endorphins that really
do - as you will see when you try it for yourself - melt your stress away.
The slowest brain wave pattern is delta, the brain wave pattern of dreamless sleep. Generally, people are asleep in the delta state, but there is evidence that it is possible to remain alert in this state - a very deep trance-like, non-physical state in which you enjoy a corresponding increase in balance between the two hemispheres of the brain.
This
balance is called brain synchrony, and taps you into what scientists call
whole brain thinking, the type of brain function associated with geniuses
- the Einsteins and Mozarts of the world.
Amazingly, it is not only possible - but actually easy - for you to develop
this type of high-performance thinking!
Before
now, it was difficult - if not impossible - to reach these beneficial brain
states without many mental gymnastics and complicated mental techniques.
But
with the new audio technology used in our
CD’s (based on original research performed at Mt. Sinai Medical Center in New York and published in Scientific American called
'Binaural Beats in the Brain') it is possible to create any of these brain
wave patterns, easily and effortlessly...
And
now, new research shows that this technology can also increase longevity and
lower stress
During
the summer of 1998, Dr. Vincent Giampapa, M.D., head of Longevity Institute International, and former
President of the American Board of Anti-Aging Medicine, tested binaural users
to measure changes in levels of two bio-markers
related to longevity, stress-relief, and well-being: DHEA
and cortisol.
According
to Dr. Giampapa, cortisol
is the major age-accelerating hormone within the brain. It also interferes
with learning and memory and is, in general, bad for your health and your
well-being. DHEA, on the other hand, is a precursor,
or source ingredient, to virtually every hormone your body needs and is a
buffer against stress-related hormones (such as cortisol).
It is a key determinant of physiological age. When DHEA
levels are high, the body is at its peak - vibrant, healthy, and able to combat
disease effectively.
In
a study, a relatively small increase in DHEA blood
levels corresponded with a 48% reduction in mortality due to cardiovascular
disease - and a 36% reduction in mortality for any reason.
So
how does binaural beats affect DHEA and cortisol levels? In Dr. Giampapa's
research:
These
would be amazing results even if they were due to heavy DHEA
supplement use. But as a result of three days' exposure to an audio technology,
they are absolutely incredible!
Now
you can experience these high performance brain states and accompanying benefits.
Based
on the work at
This
is some of the documented long-term benefits of the 'super-enriched
environment' created in the brain by the binaural beat soundtracks:
True
emotional healing awaits you
Finally,
most people experience remarkable resolution of mental and emotional limitations
that in some cases had plagued them for years. Anger,
fear, self-sabotage, anxiety, and a host of other problems, begin to fall
away - not overnight, but little by little, over time, as you continue to
use the binaural beat soundtracks.
