Brain Wave Therapy with BrainTap
At Austin Lake Chiropractic we work on helping the nervous system to function better by removing nervous interference affecting the delicate spinal nerves as they exit from the spine. This helps to balance both the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system as well as restoring efferent and afferent information to and from the brain and body, but what about the brain itself?
During different times of the day your brain cycles between different frequencies of operation. These different brain frequencies are what are recorded in an EEG sleep study. During the day your brain is operating in what is called a beta state with frequencies between 13 and 35Hz. In times of stress and problem solving the brain operates at a higher Gamma wavelength frequency of between 35Hz or more. During our downtime and when we are relaxing the brain enters the Alpha state at between 8 and 13 Hz. While we are sleeping our brain osculates between a Theta wavelength of 4-8Hz and the Deep Delta sleep state of .05 to 4Hz.
Our brain changes frequencies during our twenty-four-hour diurnal cycle to adapt to our environment, but what happens when we never let our brain rest or shut down? Our sleep is disrupted, our brain is not given a chance to reflect on and respond to the afferent information being received from each organ system of the body. Without your brain properly cycling from one frequency to another your brain and overall health are negatively affected. Symptoms of this might be increased stress or anxiety, low energy or mood, and brain fog.
Brain Tap is a way to help change that. It is a way to help change your brain using a four-part scientific process to gently guide our brain through the different frequencies of the day.
First
BINAURAL BEATS
When two different tones, separated in frequency by only a few Hertz, are introduced — one in each ear — the brain perceives a third, unique tone. Binaural beats work by creating this phantom frequency, which the brain then mimics. For example, if we play a 220 Hz carrier tone into the left ear and a 226.5 Hz carrier tone into the right ear, your brain perceives the difference between the two, which is a subtle beat frequency of 6.5 Hz, the same frequency associated with deep, meditative states. Your brain naturally follows this frequency, and you experience this deeply relaxed state.
Second
GUIDED VISUALIZATION
In general, the visual imagery process involves the individual setting aside a period for relaxation, during which he or she contemplates mental images depicting a desired result or goal. This exercise is done during the spoken-word sessions to help the listener envision a consistent image (either literal or symbolic) of the results desired from the session.
Visualization has been studied for decades, having been shown to have the power to affect mental states, improve physical and athletic performance and even heal the body. And when combined with the other elements of BrainTap, these effects are increased and optimized.
Third
10-CYCLE HOLOGRAPHIC MUSIC
Another aid to the guided meditation is 10-cycle holographic music, which is a sonic technology that produces a 360-degree sound environment.
In this sonic environment, the visualizations become more real to the mind, helping the user take full advantage of the power of the visualizations by creating a more receptive learning state.
Forth
ISOCHRONIC TONES
Isochronic tones are equal intensity pulses of sound separated by an interval of silence. They turn on and off rapidly, but the speed depends on the desired brain frequency. The discrete nature of isochronic tones makes them particularly easy for the brain to follow. While binaural beats rely on balanced hearing in both ears, isochronic tones work effectively for nearly everyone, except for someone with complete hearing loss. This is one of the reasons BrainTap's proprietary algorithms incorporate both types of tones.
