Entrain Your Brain into Alpha

In 1666 Dutch physicist Christian Huygens, the inventor of the pendulum clock noticed that the pendulums of 2 clocks mounted on the same wall had synchronised!

This was the birth of the term “entrainment”.

“Entrainment involves the ability of the more powerful rhythmic vibrations of one object to change the less powerful rhythmic vibrations of another object and cause them to synchronise their rhythms with the first object. Through sound it is possible to change the rhythms of our brainwaves, as well as our heart beat and respiration.”

Brain Waves / Sound Waves

Same Thing!

Examples of entrainment;

Women living together and their menstrual cycles synchronise;
Talking to someone who is anxious…you start to feel anxious;
Talking to someone who is very relaxed (monk / swami) brings you into a state of relaxation;
Listening to fast fitness music and you exercise for longer than if there was slow or no music;
A baby’s heart beat will synchronise to the slow steady beat of a lullaby being sung to them
Preterm babies are encouraged to be held skin-to-skin with their Mother (heart-beat to heart-beat);

Because of “entrainment”, sound waves move or pull or drag our brainwaves into different states of consciousness “they change the rhythms of our brainwaves, heart beat and respiration”. This on it’s own has huge implications! When aware of this you can start using sound in your life to alter your own state of consciousness depending on what you are needing at the time….

Thinking? Doing? Sleeping? Meditating? Birthing?

When using a crystal singing bowl you can entrain brain waves to the Alpha state;

Here are the four main brain wave states:

Beta Waves – from 14 – 20 hz,
This is our normal waking state of consciousness where we are talking, thinking, doing … our busy state!
Alpha Waves – from 8 to 13hz,
This is when we are daydreaming or meditating. We feel; relaxed and alert at the same time.
Theta Waves – from 4 to 7hz,
This occurs in states of deep Meditation and sleep.
Delta Waves – from 0.5 to 3hz,
This state occurs in deep sleep and in profound states of Meditation or healing.
