Wow!

I was looking for a place to introduce myself, and this is certainly it!

Greetings,

I have been looking for a dynamic forum, such as this, for some time.
It's a pleasure to be part of the collective []

I must agree that this is nothing new. However, I do vouch for brainwave entrainment's effectiveness.

Moving on, as a contribution to the thread, I invite you all to test-drive my music and entrainmet programs, which use binaural entrainment, as well as something I call fractal entrainment.

I have a site where I offer my work for download. It would be a pleasure to share my work with you all, as well as hear your feedback. http://lucidquest.com/dwnld.html

Here's a visual example of fractal entrainment (before I generate the music):

(this animation will take about 2 mins to load, but you'll see what I'm working with)

Have a look, and pardon my serendipitous self-promotion. I look forward to engaging in future topics. Thanks for having me.

Namaste...
Michael

I have had difficulty sleeping myself. At the base of this ramble, you may find your solution.

I'm the type of cat who's best thinking is done at 2am. This makes menial duties (such as working at 6am) a great conflict. []. The root of my problem was this: I was incapable of quieting my mind. I had such a busy  brain, that when it came time to be still, I could never hush my own static.

And so, my insomniatic friend, I decided to hunt for a more "Zen-like" approach to my delima.
Rather than stiff drinks or madness, I embraced a search for Jedi-like control of my mind, energy and time.

...which led me to brainwave entrainment.

By controlling your mind's brainwaves specifically, you will gain greater control of its random static.

Brainwave entrainment, in short, is merely the method of stimulating the mind by harmonizing it with an additional wave source. Consider the chant methods and rituals used by Tibetan monks, Dervishes, etc..
The toned sounds of these rituals are used to induce directed consciousness (or trance to use a very loose term), by entraining their brainwaves to a musically generated second wave source.

The concept is simple: If you can directly control your brainwave frequencies, you can induce any mode of consciousness you choose. You wanna sleep? entrain your brainwaves to a waveform which is equal to your mind's interpreted waveform of sleep (i.e.: 4Hz - 8Hz).

(There is a brainwave section towards the bottom)

Also, you might wish to employ the use of binaural sounds and rhythm technologies which are abundantly available on the web. Check out the following sites:

Excellent brainwave music (for the kaamehaamehaa enthusiast)
There are a few fantastic .mp3 downloads
there which will blow your mind...
(P.S.: don't forget your headphones)

http://www.bwgen.com/
free brainwave entrainment software which uses binaural beat
stimuli. I recommend downloading the tool and using some of the
relaxation presets.
(Again, you'll need headphones)

As always, do a little research and familiarize yourself with whatever grabs you!

I hope my blather proves itself worthwhile...[]

Namaste,
