When we are relaxed and during meditation, the brain enters Alpha frequency allowing us to feel calm and relaxed as acetylcholine is released.<\/p>\n<p>If the brain operates for long periods in high Beta frequencies, agitation and anxiety may result from an excessive production of dopamine. Brainwave entrainment is a particularly useful way of rapidly altering the brainwave frequencies to assist in reducing anxiety or depression.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/caring4couples.com.au\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/meditation-music.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-178 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/caring4couples.com.au\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/meditation-music-281x300.jpg\" alt=\"meditation-music\" width=\"281\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/caring4couples.com.au\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/meditation-music-281x300.jpg 281w, https:\/\/caring4couples.com.au\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/meditation-music.jpg 540w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 281px) 100vw, 281px\" \/><\/a><span style=\"color: #35b897;\">Brainwave States and Frequency Following Response<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Using brainwave entrainment, access to particular brainwave states is possible where learning, belief changes and change of mood can take place in an extraordinary way.<\/p>\n<p>There is a natural tendency of the brain to have a Frequency Following Response. The brain tends to tune in to the rhythms of what is around in the environment. For example, when the brain tunes in to catchy dance music, the body is usually inclined to move in sync with the music and mood is likely to improve accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>So with brainwave entrainment, beats and frequencies are used to enable the brain to reach the preferred brainwave state for optimal learning or personal change. The neurons in the brain then start firing at specific frequencies. When this happens, neurochemicals and endorphins are released.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #35b897;\">Brainwave Entrainment, Belief Changes and Emotional State Regulation<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When brainwave entrainment is combined with affirmations, the affirmations are far more effective in reaching the subconscious mind where real change occurs. While operating in Theta frequency, the brain releases a hormone called LTP (Long Term Potentiation). Without this hormone, your affirmations may be heard, but they are not retained.<\/p>\n<p>During childhood between the ages of 2 and 6 years, the brain operates mainly in Theta. This is why children are so susceptible to taking on beliefs as well as having an amazing capacity to learn.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #35b897;\">Overcoming Anxiety and Depression<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Brainwave entrainment has been shown to increase neural pathways. More are actually created. This is useful for creating new happiness pathways to overcome anxiety and depression as well as new learning and personal change. Brainwave entrainment is even more effective than hypnosis. Negative belief patterns and beliefs can be changed in a similar way to hypnotic induction, only at a much deeper level. This makes any type of personal change that much easier. By simply listening to brainwave technology with recorded affirmations on a digital music device (with headphones), significant change becomes readily achievable.<\/p>\n<a href=\"\" rel=\"me\" title=\"Google Plus Profile for Christine Bennett\">Christine Bennett<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Brainwave Entrainment?
