Re: Holosync: How It Works & Why I Like It: Part 1.

I've been listening to Centerpointe
Holosync CDs for 22 months, and I'm
convinced that they've enriched my
life. The first thing I do each
morning is listen to an hour's worth
of Holosync: a blend of soothing
music, ringing crystal bowls, and
the sound of running water. When I'm
done, I feel much better prepared to
face the day and its demands.

I'm going to take you through my
routine. I'll try to explain the
science behind Holosync, as well as
the positive changes I've noticed in
myself since I began listening to it. But I want to say up front that
Holosync is expensive. At the end of
this post, I'll tell you about an
inexpensive alternative to Holosync
that Doctor Joseph Mercola recommends. His Insight Focus CDs
sell for a one-time cost of $47.95.

I listen to Holosync while lying on
an exercise mat. Yes, I know the
instructions suggest you listen while sitting up in a yoga-type pose. But I much prefer to listen
while lying down. I put a pillow
under my knees, place the stereo
earphones over my ears, fold a small, dry towel over my eyes, and
turn on the CD machine.

Most of you know that our brains
generate electrical wave patterns
known as brainwaves. The four distinct patterns are Beta, Alpha,
Theta. and Delta. Each of these
electrical wave patterns change the
way that you perceive the world, as
well as the manner in which you
process information. They're measured in hertz (Hz), or cycles per second.

Beta brainwaves (13-34 Hz) are the
daily norm for most people. Anxiety
and stress are most likely to occur
in the high Beta range, It's not much of an exaggeration to say that
our modern world has been largely
shaped by people who function most
of the time in the upper Beta levels.

Alpha brainwaves (8 to 12 Hz) occur
when we are relaxed and calm. You're
in Alpha when you daydream, but also
when you're learning something new.
Theta (4 to 7 Hz) is a deeply relaxed, creative state in which the
focus is inward. Most of history's
greatest artists produced their
masterpieces while under the stimulus of Theta brainwaves.

The final state is Delta (.5 to 3 Hz). Each of us experiences the Delta state during the 90 minutes or
so of dreamless sleep which occurs
soon after you go to bed. Delta is
also the zone where the most accomplished yogis do their very best meditation.

What Holosync does is take your brain from Beta to Alpha to Theta to
Delta within 30 minutes. Each Holosync CD lasts 1 hour, and is
divided into two parts: Part #1,
The Dive, takes your brain gradually
down into the Delta zone. Part #2,
Immersion, keeps you in Delta for 30
minutes.

I can hear you say, "Owen, how do you know you're in Delta zone?" I know because I feel that mild sense
of sleep paralysis in my limbs that
normally prevents us from walking in
our sleep. It's a pleasant feeling.
And, of course, there's no real
paralysis: I can stand up whenever I
want to. But I feel so peaceful and
calm in Delta, that I have no desire
to move.

So that's the first benefit of Holosync: 30 minutes more each day in the land of deep contentment:
Delta zone. Plus, you get to spend
some extra time in Alpha and Theta,
both very pleasant levels of the mind.

Our bodies do their best healing
during that 90 minutes each night of
dreamsless sleep. The brain increases its production of DHEA,
melatonin, and Human Growth Hormone,
and decreases levels of cortisol,
an age-accelerating hormone produced
by the adrenal glands. An additional
30 minutes each day of Delta brainwaves gives your body quality
time in which to do some healing.

Holosync works by putting a different frequency, a binaural beat, in each of your ears, beneath
the soothing sounds of water and
crystal bowls. Your left ear might be hearing a frequency of 100 Hz;
your right ear 110 Hz. Surprisingly,
this causes your entire brain, both
the left and right hemispheres, to
entrain to the DIFFERENCE between the two frequencies: in this case,
10 Hz, a mid-Alpha range. Over the
course of the next 30 minutes, Holosync takes you "down" to Delta
zone in this manner.

And this leads to the two REALLY
important parts of Holosync: First,
the technology provides MORE input
than your brain can handle -- the
way it is currently structured! Your
brain responds by reorganizing itself at higher levels of function
that CAN handle the additional input.

(I'm going to continue this in a
second post: Part 2).
