Feed your head. This is the basic premise that undergirds various Brainwave packages (Brainwave Suite, Brainwave Symphony) that have been assembled by acoustic theorist Jeffrey Thompson. Thompson takes things audible (nature sounds and average electronic music on Suite; orchestral music on Symphony) and implants in them subsonic pulses and frequencies (but not subliminal messages, we're told) that allegedly attune the brain to prescribed, desirable states: theta waves for "uplifting emotion"; alpha waves for an "alert, relaxed mind"; and so on. For this set, Thompson offers four hour-long discs, each of which is divided into two sections. The first involves guided imagery that's delivered in a strange, disembodied voice by Owen Morrison. The second is a windswept, atmospheric drone of electronics that at times effectively invites your mind to float away on an astral voyage. This is essentially what is heard on the first half, only it's cluttered by Morrison's persistent and--to the uninitiated ear--annoying chatter. "Feel the exquisite melody of joy rippling through every cell," he tells us. It's a little tough when his oddly fuzzed-up sci-fi voice sometimes goes on and on as if he's delivering baseball play-by-play from another dimension. That's a pity, because the latter halves offer blissful, above-average states of motionlessness. (Of course, for superb space-walk music, investigate Jonn Serrie.) --Terry Wood

Album Description

Hold onto your mind as sound therapist Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, and guided imagery instructor Owen Morrison take you on a high-tech journey through inner space.

Subtle pulses of sound embedded in an evocative musical soundtrack stimulate your brainwave patterns - transporting you to an enhanced "visualization zone." Once there, vivid spoken imagery guides you through the three-dimensional worlds in the theater of your mind. This inspiring inner journey will lead you discover new sources of joy, creativity, energy and healing.

Disc 1 - Journey of the Mind Theta waves - the pattern experienced during dream state, and low alpha waves - associated with a relaxed mind, help you to decrystallize mental patterns that chronically prevent you from achieving your full potential.

Disc 2 - Journey of the Body Deeply relaxing delta waveforms center and balance your physical being. Low frequency tones and "primal life-pulses" mirror the rhythms of brainwaves, heartbeats, and cranio-sacral movements in this ambient musical massage.

Disc 3 - Journey of the Heart Archetypal images associated with uplifting emotions combined with Theta waves, and natural ocean and wind sounds, stimulate your own inspired imagination and increase your capacity for joy, creativity and love.

Disc 4 - Journey of the Spirit Expanding images and lush instrumentation carry you beyond the limitations of your body, opening you to explore your deeper purpose. Uses the "awakened mind" brainwave pattern - the pattern experienced yogis attain in deep meditation.

Dr. Jeffrey Thompson has been researching the effects of sound frequencies and music on the mind and body since 1981. He maintains his private practice in Encinitas, California.

Owen Morrison is a visionary artist and Director of Graduate studies of Mind Development Corporation.

4 out of 5 stars Lovely Set, Different from Other Thompson CDs.......2007-05-15

I am a huge Dr. Thompson fan. I use his Brainwave cds regularly with great results! This set differs from his other work with the addition of spoken words along with the music and brainwave content. I enjoyed this set, but I really prefer no talking in my meditation practice. Or perhaps the way the words were muffled and drawn out at times was distracting to me. My mother, to whom I gave a set of these, really loved the addition of language. If you find words distracting in your practice, try his other cds. You can't go wrong with any of Dr. Thompson's work!

    1. Personal Journey

    Product Description

    Personal Journey resonates with a theta (slow) brainwave frequency as well as a subtle version of alternating bilateral (stereo sweeping) sound. Ambient sound (like music, but not patterned in a way one might tire of) includes angelic voices that stream into the soundscape. The brainwave frequency resembles the beautiful sound you discover when running a wet finger along the rim of a crystal goblet. It invites your brain to match it's slower, deeply relaxing rhythm. People use it to improve their meditation, stress management, and even sleep. Restoring and deepening sleep is important for anyone, but especially people with challenges such as fibromyalgia, or recovering from loss, trauma, addiction, or problems with mood. You can leave the CD on repeat to create an all-night sound space at a low volume. With its bilateral sound, Personal Journey goes well with EMDR-inspired processes involving deep relaxation or where added comfort is desired. The sound lasts forty-three minutes, with the same mood and no abrupt changes throughout.

        5 out of 5 stars Don't Miss the Boat!.......2004-01-20

        I believe some of the previous reviewers have missed the boat in understanding these CD's. They are for the purpose of self-hypnosis. That "irritating patter" of voice is designed to implant positive concepts deep in the core of your subconscious to assist you in life. But you have to be able to "let go" in order for it to work. If all you hear is the patter, you're not allowing it to work. If you want relaxation and rejuvenation, Thompson's Brainwave Suite is excellent. But if you want to make changes in your life, Brainwave Journey can really help. Since I've been listening to Dr. Thompson's works, I am no longer stressed out and angry in traffic; I'm more effective at work and calmer at home.

        4 out of 5 stars Brainwave Journey Dr. Jeffrey Thompson.......2002-02-08

        UNREAL! This was my first REAL introduction to this
        form of relaxation. Although I didn't find tapes
        1,3 & 4 to be as enjoyable as Cassette 2 (Journey
        of the Mind)
        I lay on the floor with my eyes closed and experienced
        euphoria like I have never thought possible thru
        music. If anyone had walked in they would have thought
        I was nuts, lying there with a big happy cheesy grin, revelling
        in my latest musical DISCOVERY
        BRAVO BRAVO!
        We could all use a 30 minute relaxation breather EVERY DAY!
        Loved it!

        2 out of 5 stars Buy Brainwave Suite instead of this........2001-11-04

        As an owner of Thompson's Brainwave Suite, I am quite disappointed in Brainwave Journey. The music and sounds are outstanding, but the voice track is annoying and distracting.

        The voice is a strange, electronic babble. This is unfortunate, and unnessary. The music could stand alone to inspire your mind to travel into a relaxed, positive mental journey.

        My frustration grew intense after a couple of months that I gave away this box set, and have since replaced it with some wonderful collections by Hearts of Space.

        3 out of 5 stars Strange, but effective insomnia aid........2001-08-20

        I bought this boxed set on a somewhat desperate whim during the last trimester of a pregnancy that featured intense insomnia. I'd had this problem before with a previous gestation, but had effective relief with some childbirth hypnosis tapes that I can't find on the net anymore. So, I tried this boxed set hoping it would be relaxing, soothing, and encourage sleep. Well, it's very effective for that purpose. It's very difficult to stay awake during the first (spoken) section. However, the voice on the CD is very strange and changes enough that you "unrelax" and think..."boy, that's really weird." Of the four CD's the "Body" CD seems to be the least corny and effective. There does seem to be a lasting relaxation effect, but I can't really say that I've noticed any substantial changes. OK to try, but you may want to start with something cheaper.

        4 out of 5 stars works on many levels.......1998-07-19

        After just one listen to these tapes, I can feel something shifting on deeper levels. I definitely feel more calm, and a sense of overall peace. The music and the sounds that accompany it are very relaxing, though not in a typical new-agey kind of way. The guided visualizations are a bit unusual, but I found them to match the style of the music. A man's voice is used, and I found that it gave the directions a forceful feel. Somewhat like 2001's Hal at times. Trippy and spacey. They actually use sounds recorded from space.
