When you’re out in nature, it’s not just that you left the city behind, but also that, out in in nature, your body tunes into the earth’s frequency and can repair, rejuvenate and heal itself more efficiently. I kid you not.

Discovery of the Earth’s Pulse

In 1953, Professor W.O. Schumann of the University of Munich was teaching his students about the physics of electricity when they discovered that the Earth’s cavity produces very specific pulsations; the vibrational pulse of planet Earth.

In 1954, measurements taken by Schumann and Dr. Herbert König, who later became Schumann’s successor, confirmed an Earth frequency of 7.83 Hz. In the years to follow, investigators worldwide began to research what had been dubbed “Schumann Resonances”

A Tuning Fork for A Healthy, Happy Life

When Dr. Schumann published his results in the `Technische Physik’ journal, physician Dr Ankermueller immediately made the connection between Schumann resonance and the rhythm of brain waves. He was excited to find that the earth had the same natural resonance as the human brain, and contacted Dr. Schumann, who then assigned Dr. Herbert König to look into the phenomenon.

König compared human EEG recordings with natural electromagnetic fields of the environment. Eureka! They discovered that indeed there was a correlation between Schumann Resonance and brain rhythms. This relationship between earth frequency and brain waves was then studied by researchers around the world.

Dr Wolfgang Ludwig, a foremost researcher on this topic, has been investigating Schumann Resonance and the man/nature connection for many years while writing his thesis on Schumann Resonance. His goal was to determine what frequencies are present in a healthy environment.

Manmade frequencies drown out nature…

Ludwig discovered that while the earth vibration could be clearly measured in nature and on the ocean, it was almost impossible to measure the earth’s pulse in the city, where manmade signals drown out the natural signals that nature has created for eons.

Simply put, human beings were not meant to live surrounded by electrical wires, hydro stacks, traffic and cell phone towers..

That’s why listening to the mesmerizing earth frequencies provides deep mental and physical rejuvenation. You are tuning back into the vibration that nature intended for us to live by.

You already know that music affects you. Happy music makes you sing along, or tap your feet. Sad music can alter your mood. What you may not have known is that listening to an audio track with the heart beat of the Earth can have positive effects that you simply must experience to understand.

• Less stress, anxiety, irritability, moodiness and depression.
• More inspiration, confidence, concentration, and energy
• Improves sleep quality and stronger immune system

To learn meditation is not difficult.

You sit down in a quiet place for 10 – 40 minutes and focus on your breathing, a sound, chant or mantra. Whether you use a mantra or chant or not is entirely up to you and what you’re comfortable with.

What is a mantra?
The Sanskrit word mantra comes from the root “man” – which means “to think” (or, in manas “mind”) and the suffix “tra” – which means “tool.” Literally, a “mantra” means an “instrument of thought”.

When you repeat a sound, such as OM (rhymes with home) or Ara Kara (AH-ruh KAH-ruh) there is a vibration that you will feel from the sound if you say it out loud. However, mantras are said to be effective whether you say them out loud (soft verbal chanting) or whether you repeat them mentally, silently in your mind. That’s the simple part.

When You Learn Meditation, Quieting the Mind is More Difficult Than Quieting the Body

If you’ve tried meditating, you know what often happens. You turn off the phone. Dim the lights. Perhaps you light a scented candle or incense if you find scent to be calming. For the first few minutes, all goes well. Then the mind chatter starts. And your foot goes numb. And your arm gets itchy. So now you’re squirming and wondering how long it’s been. Ooops. You start the chant again. Quieting your body is easy. Quieting the mind is not quite as easy. That’s the hard part of trying to learn meditation.

Meditation Tips

There are so many benefits to learning meditation that it’s worth your while to persist. These tips will help you learn meditation successfully;

• Don’t meditate on a full stomach. Wait an hour or two after eating before meditating.
• Don’t meditate with candy or food in your mouth.
• Choose an uncluttered room or area for meditation. Your surroundings affect your state of mind.
• Turn off the phone and eliminate any potential distractions
• Dim the lights if possible.
• If you find scent to be relaxing, light a scented candle or incense.
• Learn gradually. Start with 10-15 minute sessions and work up to longer sessions over time.

Meditation Music & Brain Entrainment

Many people find that meditation music helps clear the mind. Gentle tracks without lyrics, such as nature sounds or music specifically for meditation can help you train your brain to relax.

In addition to relaxation meditation, there are audio tracks that will help you entrain your mind to achieve different responses from deep relaxation to improved concentration, and intense focus. It’s as simple as putting on an audio track and just listening. It doesn’t get much easier than that!

out of the blue, the fax machine in Richard Davidson’s office at the department of psychology at the University of Wisconsin at Madison spit out a letter from Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama. Davidson, a Harvard-trained neuroscientist, was making a name for himself studying the nature of positive emotion, and word of his accomplishments had made it to northern India. The exiled spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhists was writing to offer the minds of his monks – in particular, their meditative prowess – for scientific research.
Excerpt, The New York Times

For 2,500 years, Buddhism has focused on training the mind to understand happiness and defuse negativity for the well being of both people and society. Scientific research has focused on the short term effects of meditation, finding that;

• The brain can be trained to reduce stress
• Meditation can reduce your heart rate and blood pressure.
• Stress reduces immune function, so meditating to reduce stress enhances your immune system

The “Monk experiments” at Madison showed that it is “scientifically respectable” to study the benefits of meditation and brain training on health, and that non-Buddhists can use the power of meditation to reduce stress and the effects of stress.

Electrodes snaked out of her scalp…

”All right, here comes the first picture,” the young woman visibly tensed, gripping her elbows. Electrodes snaked out of her scalp and from two spots just below her right eye. And then, staring into a monitor, the young woman watched as a succession of mostly disturbing images flashed on a screen in front of her — a horribly mutilated body, a severed hand, a venomous snake poised to strike.

The Monks and nearby office workers both viewed the same images. The purpose was to see what each person’s “affective style” was. That means to see how long they hang on to the results of negative affect. Generally, people who meditate recover from negativity faster than those who do not. Which means simply that people who meditate generally recover from negative experiences faster than people who do not meditate.

Since founding the Stress Reduction Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, Kabat-Zinn has published studies showing that;

• People undergoing treatment for psoriasis heal four times as fast if they meditate
• Cancer patients practicing meditation had significantly better emotional outlooks
• Meditation relieved symptoms in patients with anxiety and chronic pain and…
• The benefits persisted up to 4 years after training.

In the years since the “Monk Weekend,” scientific research has shown that meditation can help ease many stress and health problems. A “short list” of meditation health benefits include;

• Decreased respiratory rate.
• Increases blood flow and slows the heart rate.
• Increases exercise tolerance in heart patients.
• Leads to a deeper level of relaxation.
• Can bring high blood pressure back to or closer to normal.
• Reduces anxiety attacks by lowering the levels of blood lactate.
• Decreases muscle tension
• Decreases headaches.
• Increases serotonin production which influences mood and behaviour. Low serotonin is associated with depression, obesity, insomnia and headaches.
• Helps in chronic diseases like allergies , arthritis etc.
• Reduces Pre- menstrual Syndrome.
• Helps in post-operative healing.
• Enhances the immune system by increasing ‘natural-killer cells’ that kill bacteria and cancer cells.
• Reduces activity of viruses
• Reduces emotional distress.

But, what if you’ve tried meditating and you can’t silence the mental chatter? That’s where audio entrainment comes in handy. When you listen to audio at specific frequencies, your brain will begin to follow along, and reproduce the frequency of the audio you’re listening to.

So, audio entrainment can help you kick start your brain when you’re feeling unfocused and can also relax you when you’re stressed out or can’t relax or sleep.

There are five categories of brain waves, ranging from the least activity to the most. You’ve probably heard of Beta and Alpha. The brain wave categories include Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta and Gamma. Some researchers lump Gamma and Beta into the same category, calling them both Beta waves.

Delta Brain waves: Up to 4 cycles per second

Delta – up to 4 pulses per second (240 per minute) is the slowest brainwave. Delta brainwaves have the greatest amplitude and slowest frequency, and may occur when you’re in a deep, dreamless sleep. Most adults are so perpetually wound up that they can’t even achieve Delta in their sleep, but newborns and children sleep in Delta very frequently. That’s what it means when people talk about sleeping like a baby; babies sleep deeper sleep than most adults do.

Theta Brain waves: 4-8 cycles per second

Theta waves are associated with creativity, dreams and Extra-sensory perception. When you’re in dreaming sleep, during the rapid eye movement state of sleep (REM) that’s the Theta state. Theta is when your conscious mind is disengaged, and it’s the goal of deep meditation and relaxation. We achieve Theta any time tasks become so automatic that you can mentally disengage from them. The ideas that often bubble up during the theta state are free flow and occur without mental censorship. Theta is often the state of mind we’re in when showering or taking a bath. (Eureka!) Many adults only attain theta waves in their sleep, and can not seem to attain Theta when they are awake, except perhaps in the shower.

Alpha Brain waves: 8-12 cycles per second

Alpha waves were first discovered in 1908 by an Austrian Psychiatrist named Hans Berger. Alpha is the state of mind when you are awake, but very relaxed, like when you’re daydreaming. It’s an effortless state of consciousness. Most people go into Alpha state when they are watching television or a movie. Children tend to play in Alpha. Low Alpha – just before crossing into Theta – is that state of being “not quite all there” that you experience just before you fall asleep or when you’re just waking up.

Beta Brain waves: Over 12 cycles per second

Beta waves are the awake state, and indicate a strongly engaged mind. Engaged in what is the question. Beta waves can mean a calm conversation where your brainwaves are 14 cycles per second… but beta waves can also mean high beta or gamma waves that result in stress, anxiety, fight or flight reactions or a full blown panic attack. The Beta state is also where we focus, learn, create, study, memorize, write and function in our daily lives.

24 hours a day, your brain creates brainwave patterns & they’re tied to your state of mind. Brainwaves are measured in “Hertz” – which means cycles per second. When you’re feeling anxiety, your brain waves are really fast. When you relax, they slow down. When you sleep, they’re even slower.

Brain waves are affected by scent, sound, taste & light

When you are feeling stressed, if you could peek inside your head with an electroencephalograph (EEG) you’d see that your brain is firing off 30, 40 or up to 100 electrical impulses per second. Telling yourself to relax seldom helps. Telling an anxious brain to relax is like trying to catch a cyclone.

But if you put on music that has beats at 10 Hertz, your brain will begin to follow along, and reproduce the rhythm of the music you’re listening to. Your brain waves will slow down to match the music you’re listening to and will help you relax. It works every time – and it’s called brain wave entrainment.

The opposite works, too.

• You know those times when you just can’t seem to get motivated?
• Or when you’re trying to focus, but it’s just not happening?
• Or you’re suffering writer’s block?
• Or creativity seems to elude you?
• Or stress is through the roof and you can’t unwind?

It’s brain waves. Unwanted behaviors happen when your brainwaves aren’t doing what you want them to be doing. Brain entrainment can help.

There are many methods of brain entrainment. You can use sophisticated light emissions to change your brainwaves. Food (taste) and scent can change your brainwaves, too.

But using mind music is just so easy. Start listening, and just minutes later you’ve altered your state of mind.

Brain entrainment music uses ambient music or nature sounds embedded with binaural or isochronic beats that will entrain your mind to the frequency you want to be at. So you can focus. Or relax. Or sleep. Or reduce stress.

People who meditate using brain entrainment music can go into relaxing Alpha brainwaves at will. Put on the music and listen. It really doesn’t get much easier than that, does it?

Brain entrainment is not just for relaxing. It is also used to stimulate your mind. To help you wake up when you’re fuzzy minded. To help inspire creative thought. Brain entrainment can help you study better, learn better, work more efficiently and reduce your stress levels.
