Brainwave Suite [Box set]

Amazon.com
The booklet that accompanies this four-CD set refers to Christiaan Huygens, a 17th-century Dutch scientist who observed that the pendulums of clocks that were mounted side-by-side would, over time, acquire identical rhythms. The human brain, asserts musician and researcher Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, is receptive to similar patterns of "entrainment" and "frequency following responses." His Brainwave Suite, one in a series of such packages, endeavors to elicit specific responses from the brain by taking sounds from nature (rain, birds, crickets, surf) and his own modest electronic music (call him a poor man's Vangelis), and strategically fortifying them with inaudible pulses and frequencies. (Subliminal messaging, we're assured, is not used here.) If successful, the listener's brain will become attuned to the good doctor's subsonic vibe, and generate waveforms that are conducive to creativity (the Theta disc), "emotional openness" (the Alpha-Theta disc), relaxation (the Alpha disc), and sleep (the Delta disc). Is this science or snake oil? No independent corroboration is cited in the booklet, and your response likely will be proportionate to your receptiveness to the concept. As for what you can hear on the four discs (each of which is about 40 minutes in length), the nature sounds are mostly peaceful and pleasant. Alpha-Theta is quite good (check out Bernie Krause, however, for the gold standard in natural sounds), and Delta, with its rumbling thunder, is not much of a sleep inducer. Thompson's music occasionally gleams and, at other times, resembles tunes in a can. An interesting item for the curious. --Terry Wood

Album Description

A Breakthrough Audio Technology Based on Your Natural Brainwaves

We all experience various states of consciousness such as ordinary waking awareness, sleep, and dreaming. Occasionally we experience extraordinary states in which we are more at peace, particularly alert and aware, or unusually creative. Each state has a unique pattern of brainwaves that can be measured and mapped. Brainwave Suite uses inaudible pulses of sound based on these brainwave patterns. Embedded within lush ambient music, these pulses trigger your brain to produce the state you want to experience.

CD1 Alpha Relaxation & Meditation ALPHA waves combined with classical guitar, bamboo flutes, and sounds of birds and gentle breezes free your mind to experience states of relaxation and meditation. Use this program in the background for stress reduction and relaxation, or listen more intently to support any meditation practice.

CD2 Theta Insight & Intuition THETA waves floating amid orchestral strings, deep resonant tones of Tibetan bells, and the patter of raindrops promote vivid mental imagery, emotional insight, and expansive creativity. Use this program to enhance creative problem solving, and to connect with your intuition and artistic expression.

CD3 Delta Sleep & Rejuvenation DELTA waves embedded within soothing ocean sounds and tones of Tibetan bowls relax you and lead you to restful sleep. To fall asleep, simply allow the music to guide your brainwaves into rejuvenating delta sleep. To stay asleep, set the recording to play all night long.

CD4 Alpha / Theta Awakened Mind Combined ALPHA/THETA waves (the "awakened mind pattern") with sounds of flowing streams, rainfall, and distant thunder lead you to the state of clarity and awareness of advanced yogis and experienced meditators. This program supports meditation practice, sharpens mental performance, and promotes inner peace.

Dr. Jeffrey Thompson is a psychoacoustic researcher and sound healing pioneer whose innovative work, based on over 20 years of clinical research, is used by healthcare professionals in 26 countries. He is currently on the faculty of, and has research and clinical offices at, the California Institute for Human Science.

A good introduction.......2007-05-12

This is a good introduction to the area of brainwave entrainment- it can give users a first taste. But the best choice would be to research the subject and use custom audio programs like NP.

Brainwave Suite by Jeffrey D. Thompson.......2007-03-30

Great CDs that realy help you meditate and get much needed sleep.

Helps Migraines!.......2006-06-23

The other positive reviews here are spot on - in addition to those positive reviews I would like to add that this cd set has proven very useful for when I have migraines. I would recommend anyone who suffers from migraines to try this. It doesn't replace the medications (for me) but it does help with support and coping during an attack - I find it helps to shorten some attacks. For this purpose the Relaxation and Meditation CD seems to be the most effective in the set, but each of the tracks have helped.

Brainwave Suite.......2006-03-25

I purchased this item twice and unfortunately the 4th CD, Awakened Mind, in both sets could not be played. The file extensions were foreign to me, my computer, ipod and CD player. This CD is what I bought the entire set for as my psychologist specifically recommended the Awakened Mind CD. Therefore, I can only give this item 1 star and remain deeply frustrated and disappointed.

Relaxation and Meditation made easy........2006-02-25

I have been enjoying these CD's for some time now and have felt less stressed and more rested than I was without them. I have given this set of CD's to friends with anxiety and sleep problems and all have reported back that they love the Brainwave Suite and have had great results because of them.
I've been so pleased with the CD's, I've purchased other brainwave entrainment sets offered by Dr. Jeffrey Thompson.

Took a nap during labor.......2007-01-16

I used the first CD in this collection (Alpha) to assist me during the labor and delivery of our daughter. I put it on our ipod and listened to it over and over during the labor process. I actually managed a light nap during active labor and had very little pain throughout the process. It that doesn't tell you that it keeps you relaxed and able to meditate, I don't know whatelse might convince you. The recording is great, the music lovely, and it does what it claims to do. I highly recommend it!

Awesome!.......2006-03-17

These really work! Ever wonder why listening to classical music may make you more up-tight than relaxing you? Here's the reason...

Induces great relaxation, pair with noise-cancelling headphones and sleep on plane........2005-12-30

So far I have only really used the relaxation CD, which works amazingly well. I have been flying more red-eyes lately in part because I know I can sleep on the plane from as soon as I get on. However, I have always slept pretty well on airplanes!

I keep forgetting to try out the rest of the CD collection.

Recommended for first rate relaxation and sleep!.......2005-06-06

These cds sound like simple classical music, but they do indeed assist you to enter different states of mind. For best effect, wear stereo headphones. But even without, you will find it easier to relax, sleep and meditate. If you don't like classical, the Brainwaves Suite has a new age/environmental sound.

Worth the listen.......2004-10-17

My curiousity was well rewarded when I first listened to these four CDs. The symphonic music is seamlessly recorded, accented with tone notations that are easy on the ear and peaceful on the mind. This set is at the office, on the iPod and the home computer, and loaned to others on a regular basis. They have flavored prayer services and supported pastoral conversations. Make good presents, too. Worried about subliminal suggestion? Well, if clearer thinking and thoughtful reflection is subliminal thinking, then you will get the message each time you listen to these recordings. Other recordings by Dr. Thompson deliver just as these do.

These CD's can change your life!.......2004-01-20

Since listening to Dr. Thompson's work, I am no longer stressed and angry in traffic; I'm more effective at work and calmer at home. I listen to Insight & Intuiton at work, Awakened Mind when I wake, Rejuvenation when I'm ill, and Relaxation, well, of course, to relax. I also use his Brainwaves Journey for self-hypnosis. The music was not what I expected at first, and I was even a bit disappointed, but when I felt them working every day, I kept using them and now I find them indispensable.

Drifting into a Dream State.......2003-08-20

Dr. Jeffrey Thompson has been researching the effect of sound since 1981. He has since established a sound research center in San Diego. He believes in the stress reduction benefits of sound and has proven the effects through clinical research in universities, hospitals and private practices over a period of many years.

This music is based on nature sounds and is very relaxing and beautiful. I also noticed that my creativity increased. Probably because I am sleeping so well and am well rested and more alert. I feel that these CDs almost clear the fog in your brain. It is like a vacation for your brain.

What does this music sound like? It is all different. I loved two of the CDs the most. I will review those.

If sounds swirl around you in the dance of spinning mermaids, that is the best description for what happens when I listen to the Alpha Meditation selection. There is a certain musical spinning which surrounds you and then there are notes that swirl about independently as they also rotate around you like planets. It is fascinating and addictive.

There are sounds of waves crawling up beaches mingled with singing bowls, birds, raindrops, flutes, echoes from beyond time and space. I see flowers blooming in gardens filled with orchids and even sea creatures playing out in a huge ocean. It is a mixture of deep rainforest and coastal escapes.

The notes spin from one side of my headphones to the other. It makes me blissfully dizzy. You literally feel you are being pulled down into a whirlpool of sleep. I have been listening to this CD every night to fall asleep fast.

When none of my other CDs help me sleep, this is the one I reach for. At times I am unable to sleep after listening to three other CDs, then I put this one in and
I am completely asleep in minutes.

Yes, when in bed, it can help you fall asleep. When listening while typing, it just becomes a relaxing escape. I seem to be able to leave the Bass Boost on with this CD.

I prefer Disc 4 (Emotional Openness and Intimate Communication) without as much depth and they sound more clear with my DBB turned off. Otherwise it has a roar and you can not hear the more delicate sounds. Turn off your Dynamic Bass Boost and the music becomes much more delicate and relaxing.

This CD sounds like beautiful notes of pure sounds that dance around your mind or water dripping from the inside of a cave into deep pools of sound. Fall asleep floating away on a river that seems to be endless.

Also Recommended:

Steven Halpern: Ancient Echoes, Music for Sound Healing, Enhancing Intimacy, Self-Esteem and the Sacred Chorde. I also have enjoyed falling asleep to: Keith Jarett: the Melody at Night.

If you are looking for emotional healing, a great CD is called: Giving Love Away by Robert Shahidi. It is amazing, I fall completely asleep just as the last words are playing and always remember myself being half aware and then I?m blissfully asleep. This CD heals my emotions like nothing I have experienced before. I highly recommend it.

Another great way to get into a relaxed state is by doing the "Yoga Zone: Flexibility and Stress Release" DVD or Video. It is amazing. It knocks me out because when I'm done exercising, all I want to do is climb into my soft warm bed.

Read all reviews before you spend your money.......2003-05-14

Entrainment process is explained best by the way that when two pendulum clocks are kept in proximity, they synchronize together and start moving in similar rhythms. These CD's are meant to do the same. Some CD's lock you on whether you want or not and in some CD's you have to lock on yourslef by relaxing and switching of concious brain. Although it is not clear in the manual supporting the CD's whether these Cd's use the Harmonic Matrix technology (where all frequencies are present and only one is dominant like Theta , this is how brain normally works) , still the
CD's are a good start if you are new to Hemsiphere Synchrnozation technology. These CD's can have a profound effect on your personal transfromation and growht and initally after listening if you listen to them quite often , your dusfunctional emotions will surface and then vanish giving you a lot of freedom . Personally I have tried many other CD's of the same sort and there are defiately better Cd's available than these but the cost being exorbent , these are a good start.
Also if you know breathwork or yoga basic execises and can relax yourself before starting listening to these Cd's then , these can have a profound effects. Some Cd's like Track 2 in Delta
seemingly sounds like normal music and you can buy these CD's thinking that you are buying Cd's for relaxation.
Also remember that hemispheric synchronization does wonders when you have a positive intent, of course there are other CD's in the market which are better at the job whether your intent is there.
An Honest overall review will be that incase you have already started medidation in other forms and need no time to get into Alpha state then dont Buy this set . But incase you are newcomer to medidation and dont have time to go the traiditonal way, this is really a good start. So go for it, and then move on to more powerful CD's. In any cae the music is soothing and even if it does not have much effect on you, the music itself is a good collection.

Delta Sleep.......2003-03-24

I bought the 4 discs in Brainwave Suite. I was most interested in the Delta disc, as I have difficulty letting down and going to sleep. It gave me a really bad time. I gave it a 3 nite trial. The very deepest tones are just too deep. They are bone ratteling deep. Result was my muscles tensed up. I tried with head phones, low volume. I had to slip the head phones up over the tips of my ears - still the deep tones were too heavy. Vibrated thru my skull. I tried just using my speakers- which are about 16' apart with me in the middle. Low volume. And BTW I have the settings on my amplifier with the base as off as it will go. It vibrated my air bed. I had to turn it off. I was tense, my head hurt and I was angry. The little dog yipped to go out, and I felt like stepping on him - flat! I didn't get to sleep till I took 2 Tylenol, 2 Gaba, and 2 Ativan. Then it was not a restful sleep. Those deep tones rumbled in my body and my head for hours and here almost 24 hours later I am still up tight, my head is fogged and I still feel angry.
I hate this record. I have yet to test the others. This form says I have to fill in the spaces, so you will see one star, which is a lie. If there were black stars I'd give it 5 of them.

Worth every penny.......2003-03-17

Personally I only enjoyed two of the four CD's. But every single one of them impressed me. I bought them as a meditation set on a whim since I wasn't able to listen to them off of this page due to the computer I was using. I was not dissapointed. The flow between natural and synthetic sounds are almost imperceptable. The amazing realism of "suround sound" with my headphones on puts me in the atomosphere that is created.
These CD's will get your left and right brain working together. As an odd personal story, I usually breath out one side of my nose when I am sleeping and another when I am waking. After only minutes of listening to these particular CD's I breathed easier out of both sides.

Album Description

BREAKTHROUGH AUDIO TECHNOLOGY BASED ON YOUR NATURAL BRAINWAVES

Throughout the ages music has accompanied men and women in their search for knowledge, balance and healing. Now, modern research has revealed music's ability to significantly effect us in our daily lives.

BRAINWAVE SYMPHONY - DELTA combines carefully selected Western music from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Impressionistic and Twentieth-Century eras with breakthrough audio technology to give you the best of classical wisdom and modern science.

ORCHESTRATE YOUR STATE OF MIND

We all experience many states of consciousness, from ordinary waking and sleeping states to extraordinary states in which we are more at peace, particularly aware, or unusually creative. Each of these states has a unique pattern of brainwaves that can be measured and mapped. The genius of BRAINWAVE SYMPHONY - DELTA is the use of subtle pulses of sound, based on these brain maps, to trigger your brain to experience states of Deep Relaxation, Rejuvenation and Restful Sleep.

The combination of this powerful new technology with works of Chopin, Mendelssohn, Holst and other masters is a beautiful and unique listening experience as well as a powerful tool for personal transformation.
