An ambient mix with SMR (Sensorimotor Rhythm) isochronic tones. A versatile and useful frequency range that can be helpful for many different purposes, including increasing focus, reducing stress, anxiety and depression and other health or sleep issues.
This is a brainwave entrainment music track using isochronic tones combined with music. The music has also been embedded with amplitude entrainment effects, where the music is subtly distorted and vibrates in unison with the same frequency of the isochronic tones. This helps to add further strength to the entrainment effect. If brainwave entrainment is a new concept for you, there is some information about it here: http://www.mindamend.com/brain-hub/brainwave-entrainment-methods/how-brainwave-entrainment-works/
This video/audio can be used in multiple ways and has many different potential benefits, so please read this description to find out how it can help you and how to use it.
What does this video/audio do?
The isochronic tones beat at a rate of between of 12-15Hz, throughout the video. When referring to brainwave activity, the 12 to 15Hz range is known as SMR (Sensorimotor Rhythm). The tones work to stimulate your brainwaves and increase activity within this SMR range, which offers many potential benefits.
How can you use it and benefit from it?
Focus - Use as a study aid
12-15Hz is at the bottom of the Beta range. Increasing low Beta wave activity can increase focus, but as it's not too intense, it can be used as a general study aid to boost concentration.
12-15Hz is a good mid-frequency range which can be helpful in reducing anxiety and stress or relieving the symptoms of depression. Depression usually produces more slow-wave brain activity, whereas anxiety and stress produce more high-frequency activity. If you suffer from both these conditions, it's often a good strategy to try and guide your dominant brainwave activity into this more centred 12-15Hz area.
Mood
Increasing low Beta activity can be helpful for boosting your mood without being too intense.
Health and Sleep
EEG research has found that elite athletes and very fit and healthy people tend to produce a higher amount of SMR activity, while people who are ill, unfit or who suffer from various disorders like insomnia and ADHD are consistently found to have much lower levels of SMR. So an increased level of SMR brain activity is generally linked with a healthy body and mind.
If you suffer from insomnia, the idea is to boost your natural levels of SMR activity by listening during the daytime, not at night while you sleep. I don't recommend listening to this just before bedtime, as it may disrupt your sleep.
How To Use It?
Listen to this any time during the daytime or early evening, to help boost the natural levels of SMR frequencies in your brain. It's a long 3-hour track, for those people who want a longer session, but you don't have to listen all the way through. If you're using it for a shorter time period, I would recommend you listen to it for at least 15 minutes.
Headphones Are NOT required
How Loud Should The Volume Be?
Adjust the volume to a level that you are comfortable with, which will vary depending on your equipment.
