Ease That Tension with Brainwave Entrainment

Modern life is replete with frustrations and hassles, so much so that its ceaseless web of stress and negativity occasionally proves to be too much. Stress is a physical response to emotional or physical threats (real or imagined) which the body is unable to respond to appropriately, and its symptoms include; an increase in heart rate; irritability; muscular rigidity; stimulation of the adrenal gland; and aggression, all of which are the body’s defenses, operating automatically through a process known as the ‘fight-or-flight’ (or stress) reaction.

This behaviour has almost become an ordinary way of life, and any attempt to fight or ignore it often results in a case of the cat chasing its tail and worsens the situation. Long term exposure to stress can lead to serious health problems, and in the case of chronic stress, can reprogram the brain, leaving it vulnerable to persistent anxiety and depression.

So what is the best solution for relieving stress? The common antidote is to sit in front of the TV or laptop for hours on end, but this activity proves futile, as it just exacerbates the whole situation, and merely serves as nothing more than a distraction. When we try to relax, mental chatter plagues our minds as it insists on dwelling on problems of the past, anticipating the future with a sense of dread, and disregarding of the calm, relaxing stillness of the present moment.

Fortunately, this is where brain entrainment can help tremendously. You see, when we are in a disorderly state of stressful thinking, our brains operate within the Beta state, between 13 & 40 Hz. Within this state, we are out of balance, and prone to mental fatigue. By listening to Isochronic tones, binaural beats or monaural beats at a frequency of between 3 & 8 Hz, we can induce the soothing state of Theta. From here, we can enter a state of progressively enhanced relaxation, and discover that the brain (or ego) has a way of greatly exaggerating problems for you to dwell on. It certainly is an effective method, and is highly recommended as an alternative to medications, which cause more problems than they solve.
