Rhythm is the nature of the universe,
rhythm is Creation. Everything is moving to
it's own beat. From the micro-orbits of electrons
and protons to the macro-orbits of planets,
stars and galaxies. In lifeforms rhythm is
even more obvious, from the continuous beating
of the heart, to cycles of the breath. Another
word for rhythm is "periodicity",
which means that the activity of something
falls into cycles. The cadence of human beings
is intricately woven into the web of cosmic
pulsation.
In theta, learning is extremely rapid,
and there probably is also a lot of subliminal
learning from other dimensions.
In the under seven age group,
children often see imaginary playmates
and talk to them. Perhaps these are
not imaginary, but are really a link
with another dimension of intelligence.
Interesting thought, is it not?
Some hypnosis and some past life
regression experiences also occur
in the theta range of brain activity.

Do you ever wonder why as children
we learn more in our first few years of life?
The answer lies in the mysterious and elusive
Theta brain wave state. Up until the age of
six, children are predominantly in Theta. This
frequency allows the brain to absorb and retain
massive amounts of information that gets stored
in long-term memory. You can restore this magical
ability through daily Theta brain wave training.
"From four to seven, children
operate in theta state, with brain
waves running between four and seven
cycles per second. In adults, this
level of brain wave activity is experienced
during sleep and also during states
of fear when the body goes into a 'fight
or flight' response. This is a powerful
level from which to initiate change.
In this state, we only need one or
two experiences of learning to change
behaviour.
From the ages seven
to fourteen, we live in the alpha
state
of seven to fourteen cycles per second.
In adults, this is associated with
light sleep, meditation, or eyes closed
relaxation" |
When you need to study and assimilate
new information, slip on your Earclips
and headphones, relax and listen
to your subject of choice,Within minutes, memory
receptors
are gently stimulated as precision-engineered
frequencies shift your brain into a balanced
theta state. In this state of heightened receptivity,
the clarity and speed with which you can concentrate,
study, and integrate and store information
is profoundly improved. Theta brain waves are
associated with long-term-potentiation.
Bio-feedback world
expert Dr Budzynski
notes that theta brain waves, if used appropriately,
could "dramatically boost one's learning
abilities" and "enhances the
absorption of the material ... (as) a lot
of work gets done very quickly". |
Memory receptors and neural pathways
are gently stimulated as theta frequencies
balance and relax your mind. Ground breaking
research has revealed that theta brain wave
activity triggers the formation of new, more
complex connections between neurons. This effect,
known as "Long-Term Potentiation," is
key to forming memories and retrieving information
from the subconscious. You'll find that the
clarity and speed with which you can concentrate,
study,integrate and store information is profoundly
improved.
And
If external stimulus is applied to the brain,
it becomes possible to entrain
the brain frequency from one stage to another.
For example, if a person is in beta stage (highly
alert) and a stimulus of 7.82 Hz is applied
to his/her brain for some time, the brain frequency
is likely to change towards the applied stimulus.
The effect will be relaxing to the person.
This phenomenon is also called frequency following
response. After a while the person
can bring the entrained states to mind at will, the
same as any remembered song can be brought
to mind
|
The electroencephalograph (AKA. EEG) is a
machine that monitors brainwave-activity. Laboratories
around the world have done studies and experiments-using
these tools to better understand the four main
brainwave patterns:-BETA, ALPHA, THETA and DELTA.
Each frequency has a characteristic blueprint-and
produces a distinctive state of consciousness.
BETA waves (14 cycles per-second and above)
dominate the normal waking state of consciousness
when-attention is directed towards the outside
world. ALPHA waves (8-13 cycles-per second)
are present during dreaming and light meditation
when the eyes-are closed. THETA waves (4-7
cycles per second) occur in sleep and are-dominate
in the highest state of mediation.In deep meditation
and deep-sleep, DELTA waves (.5 to 3 cycles
per second) are experienced.
The
theta stage (4hz - 8Hz) has been found
to increase learning capabilities. In fact,
children spend more time in theta stage
than adults, which probably explains the
accelerated learning capabilities of children.
Alpha frequencies are also useful for learning purposes.
You can play language cassettes, subliminal tapes, etc.
during an entrainment session for a maximum effect. |
Each of-these brainwave frequencies serves
an important function. The optimum level-for
deep thought is in the realm of THETA. When
in THETA, the senses are-withdrawn from the
external world and focused on then inner one,and
provide the most profound feelings-of peace.
Like sound waves, the brain has its own set
of vibrations it uses to-communicate with itself
and the rest of the body. EEG equipment-distinguishes
these waves by measuring the speed with which
neurons fire in-cycles per second.
Lead author Michael Kahana, Ph.D.,
says the Nature paper bridges the gap between
scientists' understanding of theta's role in
animals and its role in humans. "Hundreds
of papers have linked theta oscillations to
spatial learning in rats and other animals;
our study is the first to seal the link between
theta and spatial learning in humans," says
Kahana, assistant professor of psychology and
neuroscience at Brandeis. |
Scientific
Stuff
Theta rhythms are very strong
in rodent hippocampi and entorhinal cortex
during learning and memory retrieval, and
are believed to be vital to the induction
of long-term potentiation, a potential cellular
mechanism of learning and memory. A putative
functional role of the theta rhythm has been
put forth by Dr. Michael Hasselmo in a series
of papers (Hasselmo et al. 2002, Hasselmo
and Eichenbaum 2005). Based on evidence from
electrophysiological studies showing that
both synaptic plasticity and strength of
inputs to hippocampal region CA1 vary systematically
with ongoing theta oscillations (Hyman et
al. 2003, Brankack et al. 1993, Pavlides
et al. 1988), it has been suggested that
the theta rhythm functions to separate periods
of encoding of current sensory stimuli and
retrieval of episodic memory cued by current
stimuli so as to avoid interference that
would occur if encoding and retrieval were
simultaneous.

Abstract:
Biofeedback-assisted modulation of electrocortical activity
has been established to have intrinsic clinical benefits
and has been shown to improve cognitive performance in healthy
humans. In order to further investigate the pedagogic relevance
of electroencephalograph (EEG) biofeedback (neurofeedback)
for enhancing normal function, a series of investigations
assessed the training's impact on an ecologically valid real-life
behavioural performance measure: music performance under
stressful conditions in conservatoire students. In a pilot
study, single-blind expert ratings documented improvements
in musical performance in a student group that received training
on attention and relaxation related neurofeedback protocols,
and improvements were highly correlated with learning to
progressively raise theta (5-8 Hz) over alpha (8-11 Hz) band
amplitudes. These findings were replicated in a second experiment
where an alpha/theta training group displayed significant
performance enhancement not found with other neurofeedback
training protocols or in alternative interventions, including
the widely applied Alexander technique.

The
Theta Rhythm
In a 1999 study, Thomas Budzynski,
Ph.D worked with 8 struggling college
students. After undergoing audio-visual
brainwave stimulation, the students outperformed
a control group and significantly increased
their GPA. GPA for the 8 students continued
to rise even after treatment was discontinued!
Psychologist Michael Joyce used brainwave entrainment
with a group of 30 children. He observed improvements
in reading and a half year advancement in grade level
as well as substantial improvements in attention, reaction
and a reduction in impulsivity and variability.
Harold Russel Ph.D. and John Carter, Ph.D., of the University
of Houston, did several studies in which they used brainwave
entrainment to treat ADHD and other learning disorders,
testing their IQ before and after treatment. Astonishingly,
after treatment the subjects showed a 5 to 7 point increases
in IQ score.
Michael Tansey used a similar protocol to treat dyslexia
and other learning disorders, reporting a 19 point average
increase in IQ score post-treatment.
Drs. Siegfried and Susan Othmer found that neurofeedback
brainwave training in the 15-18 Hz range can produce
significant shifts in IQ score, particularly with people
who are suffering from ADD/ADHD and other disorders.
In cases where the starting IQ value is less than 100,
the average IQ increase was 33 points! They also found
significant improvements in memory, reading and arithmetic.
In a one year follow-up, trainees showed major improvements
in self-esteem, concentration and self-expression. |

Other Benifits of Deep Theta
"Advanced
intuition -
Ever have a powerful gut-instinct that helped you make
a good decision?
Or a gut-instinct that you should’ve followed?
If we get ourselves too caught up in the upper brainwave
patterns of beta, our intuitiveness becomes severely
damaged. As you increase your theta brainwaves, your
intuition will increase as well as your ability to
recognize those feelings in your “gut.”
Peak levels of creativity - The theta
brainwave is often found in highly creative individuals.
Many talented musicians, inventors, and artists are
found to have extremely higher than average amounts
of theta brainwaves. Musicians and artists are also
able to utilize software like Neuro- Programmer 2 in
order to help them increase their creativity when it
runs dry. Utilizing the theta brainwave will definitely
enhance your overall levels of creativity!
"Artists and inventors usually
have high levels of theta brainwaves, which enables
them to have
a deeper connection with their emotions and to
think more creatively than the average person.
We can experience these advantages when we train
our brains to produce more theta brainwaves.
We';ll also have stronger intuition and have
long term
memory improvements. With more theta brainwaves,
we become able to be in the zone and focus
when necessary.
" |
Learning a new language - There has been
plenty of research done on language learning and development.
The claim that children are able to pick up new languages
so quickly is because of their increased amount of
theta brainwaves. Adults and students of a new foreign
language may greatly benefit from shifting their brainwaves
to the theta range.
Advanced problem solving skills - The
problem associated with having too much of the beta
brainwave pattern is the inabiltiy to problem solve
and get past “mental blocks” by thinking
creatively. Ever get writer’s block? Increasing
your theta or alpha brainwaves will most likely help
you keep “flowing” right through your paper
or article without getting “stuck.” I’ve
heard cases of alpha brainwaves used to help prevent
writer’s block and I’ve also read that
theta waves were very effective
Ability to program subconscious
mind - There is some evidence to believe that by targeting
the lower brainwave patterns and using affirmations
or positive self talk, you can change some of your
deepest unconscious beliefs or emotional blockages.
In the theta brainwave range, the brain is extremely
open to suggestion and new ideas. It is the openness
of the brain in the theta frequency range that constitutes
the ability to re-program the brain
.Paranormal
Experiences - People are
especially open to psychic experiences, OOBE’s
(Out Of Body Experiences), visions, ESP, and other
phenomenon in the theta brainwave mind state. Though
most paranormal and psychic experiences can be argued
to
be real or fake, there is evidence that most people
tend to have them when their brain is full of theta
brainwaves. Psychics are supposedly able to tap the
theta brainwave range in order to connect with higher
spirits and the divine. Tthe theta brainwave frequency
range has been heavily linked to profound learning
benefits. As your mind
is able to enter the frequencies of the theta range,
you will be able to retain over 200% more information
than you can while in the beta brainwave state. The
theta brainwave allows people to learn large amounts
of information in a much quicker time than the beta
brainwave state.
"It is during the Theta Brain Wave State
that there is a portal or pathway between the
conscious
and unconsciousness mind, where deep transformation
takes place at the subconscious level. It is widely
known that during a traumatic event a person transitions
from the conscious to unconscious state, and that
transition (Theta Brain Wave State) is when traumatic
memory enters and imprints the subconscious mind.
So it only makes sense that we exit the traumatic
memory from the same door it entered. Our minds
and brains are so powerful and so accessible if
we give ourselves the opportunity and privilege
to be reprogrammed for being released from the
negative traumatic impacts that have been thrusted
upon us by our own beliefs systems" |
Boosted immune system -
Increasing your theta brainwaves can lead to a boosted
immune
system due to the fact that theta brainwaves are associated
with vitality and usually zero stress. Stress and too
much anxiety can do harm to the immune system by releasing
harmful chemicals such as epinephrine (adrenaline)
and too much of the hormone: cortisol, associated with
the adrenaline release. The theta brainwave releases
pleasant chemicals and neurotransmitters to help keep
your immune system at it’s peak.
Improved long-term memory - As theta brainwaves increase,
the ability of the brain to recall and store long-term
memories increases. The hippocampus, a part of the
brain involved in memory processing and storing memories,
has a normalized theta brainwave rhythm passing through
this area. As we become more stressed out, the beta
brainwaves throw the normalized theta brainwaves of
the hippocampus out of sync. This is why stressful
people usually have poorer ability to recall long-term
memories. Often times therapists and hypnotherapists
try to slowly open up traumatized clients to the theta
range in order to recall repressed memories. The therapists
help the client shift to this brainwave range in order
to recall the repressed memory and help talk them through
the event.
Ability
to focus - Many people with high amounts
of theta brainwave activity are able to “get
in the zone” and stay intensely focused and motivated
with one idea. Many people with ADD or ADHD attribute
their success in certain areas of life to their ability
to hyperfocus. Hyperfocus is a unique phenomenon that
can really only be experienced in the theta brainwave
range. Some meditators have also claimed to have learned
the hyperfocus ability.
Healing
of body and mind - The theta brainwave
rhythm is well-known to rejuvenate, replenish,
and heal the
body and mind. The theta brainwave is known to reset
your brains sodium / potassium ion ratio. When you
get yourself heavily involved in the upper frequencies
of the beta range, your brain’s sodium / potassium
ion ratio is severely thrown out of sync. Due to the
deep levels of relaxation that the theta brainwave
brings, the body and mind is easily able to restore
itself after a tough mental or physical workout."
Through Theta one is able to
remove limiting beliefs, and replace them with
more positive and supportive beliefs for
healing. As these beliefs are
changed there is often physiological healing in your
Cells DNA in the body, this enables health, mind
improvement and empowerment.
Super Learning
Theta has been-identified as the gateway
to learning and memory.
Horse and buggy learning isn't going

Speed
Learning using CES (Cranial electro stimulation)
" Imagine
how your life and career would improve if
you could learn faster and retain much more
without constant revisions ?"
Research shows that the key to speed learning is your state
of mind before,
during and immediately after your learning session.
It is when you are in a state of relaxed alertness that you
will achieve the greatest
improvement in memory together with increased concentration
and creativity.
When
you start using your CESunit you will start
to
Improve
memory and retention of study material
Enhance
understanding during learning sessions
Accelerate
new language learning
Increase
maths ability
If you're wide awake and alert at the moment , your brain
is probably operating at 13 to 25 cycles per second - the
beta level.
But that's not the best state for learning and studying.
Research has shown that deeper levels of brain activity lead
to speed learning. Deeper levels are reached at the alpha
and theta brainwave patterns, which are
characterised by feelings of calmness and a relaxed alertness.
You can now train your brain to achieve
any desired frequency with The BT
Pro
Maxwell Cade;
The Awakened Mind (over 4,500 EEG’s tested):
"
To achieve an Alpha frequency of 9 Hz requires two to five years of meditation
experience. With ten to twenty years of practice, we find the Alpha frequency
around 7 Hz."
With CES (Cranial electro stimulation)
one is able to achieves within days what
has previously been believed to require
10 to 20 years
|
It
is in the theta states that the greatest feats
of super-memory, along with heightened powers
of concentration and creativity are achieved.
In
the Palaces of Memory they suggest 5hz as being
the optimum learning frequency.
Even as you read these words, a tiny portion
of your brain is physically changing. New connections
are being sprouted -- a circuit that will create
a stab of recognition if you encounter the
words again... In the Palaces of Memory
The gentle pulsating
rhythms act in a similar fashion,-if
the frequencies are computer generated,
they are precise,-consistent and can
be targeted to induce highly specific
and desired brain-states. Just as we
can tune a radio to get a particular
station, with-this technology we can
tune our consciousness to dial-in a wide
variety of-brain states. |

Meditation
Brain pattern studies were recently
conducted by researcher Melinda Maxfield-into
the (SSC) Shamanic State of Consciousness.
She found that the steady-rhythmic beat of
the drum struck four and one half times per
second was the-key to transporting a shaman
into the deepest part of his shamanic state
of-consciousness. It is no coincidence that
4.5 beats, or cycles per second-corresponds
to the trance like state of theta brain wave
activity. In direct-correlation, we see similar
effects brought on by the constant and rhythmic-drone
of Tibetan Buddhist chants, which transport
the monks and even other-listeners into realms
of blissful meditation.
Meditation is essentially about willingly
being able to alter one's brain frequency
to a desired state. While meditators have
traditionally used several years to learn
the techniques of meditation, you can now
attain the same effect with brainwave entrainment.
No special training or great discipline
is required.
When a certain brainwave state is experienced
and practiced over a period of time,
the brain will "learn" the
state change and it will become easier
to self-produce
the desired brainwave state at will.
Thus, using the BTPro
you can expect to get its effects
faster
without
any entrainment.

Until recently, entering extraordinary
states of heightened receptivity and peak performance
have been predominantly attained by a disciplined
few, practicing ancient techniques such as
meditation, chanting, yoga and new re-vamped
versions of the mystical traditions- such as
progressive relaxation, auto-suggestion, hypnosis
and biofeedback. The only problem is that these
techniques take long periods of practice, discipline
and often a leap of faith, to produce results.
Elmer and Alyce
Green of the Menninger Foundation (the
international psychiatric
center of excellence) found theta brain
waves "to be associated with a deeply
internalised state and with a quieting
of the body, emotions and thoughts..." |
But now there is an easier pathway,
a new technology that can guide us directly
into those beneficial states of deep meditation
and heightened receptivity - where we can leverage
the powers of the mind-body connection to attain
optimal mental and physical performance. This
new path uses CES frequencies to carry
its listeners into the higher frequencies of
consciousness, where profound transformations
take place
|
"Homeostasis can be defined as
the tendency for intrinsic balance within a system.
Application of a
range of CES appears to enhance the Balance of the
biological central nervous system. A change in one
system within the individual will have correlative
effects upon other systems. Improvements in mood, cognitive
function, self image, shift of Focus , control to oneself,
and sense of well being can be measured. When CES works,
it enhances one's ability to handle or deal with situations
that were previously beyond the range of one's control."

Bio-feedback
App
There is a relationship between
Stress and the Electrical conductivity of the
skin. This is known as Galvanic Skin Response
or GSR.
|
Free
Option allows one to measure GSR
Skin conducts electric current
like a Resistor. The resistance of Skin can
vary from 25 Kilo Ohms to 2 Mega Ohms depending
on the Emotional state (This varies from person
to person ).This variation is due to the changes
in the permeability of the skin. In a normal
fully relaxed person, skin resistance will
be around 2 Mega Ohms. This is due to the low
permeability of the skin. Skin offers high
resistance and restricts the current flow.
But if the same person is in stress, his skin
resistance reduces to 25 Kilo Ohms or less
due to leakage of water from the blood vessels
and subsequent sweating. This increases the
electrical conductivity of the skin. Thus the
electrical conductivity of the skin and Stress
are directly related
