Mind Technology involves the use of the latest computerized Light and Sound Machines to produce some of the quickest most profound changes possible. This technology is one more tool available to people actively involved in the journey of their lives. I have used L/S tools to help my clients since 1991. I'll give you some basic information here, but for a more detailed exploration, the book MegaBrain Power by Michael Hutchison explores in great detail much of the current research being conducted in this field.

THE BEGINING
Man has always been intrigued by the possibilities for influencing the mind. Ancient rituals for entering trance states often involved special sounds in the form of drum beats, clapping, or chanting, and flickering lights produced by flame, torches, bonfires or long lines of human bodies rhythmically dancing, passing before the fire and chopping the light into mesmerizing periodic flashes.
Ancient Shaman used the powers and images of flickering flames to enhance their magic.
Throughout human history, the awakened state has been tantalizing but elusive. Studies of Zen Monks have shown that it can take twenty years or more of daily practice to be able to quickly and reliably reach deep states of meditation. Modern technology has created more reliable controllable methods than were available in the past.
BRAIN WAVE STATES
Scientists have found the brain produces waves (measured in cycles per second, called Hertz). The four major distinct varieties are:
BETA WAVES (14-100Hz) Most rapid normal waking state associated with alertness, arousal, concentration, cognition and at excessive levels anxiety.
ALPHA WAVES (8-13 Hz) Calm and mentally unfocused the Alpha State seems to be the brain’s neutral. People who are healthy and not under stress tend to produce a lot of alpha activity. Daydreaming and meditation states as well as Imagining, and creative visualization occur in Alpha.
THETA WAVES (4-8Hz) Slower, more powerfully rhythmic brain waves. The twilight state between waking and sleep. Often accompanied by unexpected, dreamlike images.
DELTA WAVES (below 4 Hz) Asleep or unconscious, In the delta state our brains are triggered to manufacture important chemicals like, serotonin and release large quantities of healing growth hormones, that rapidly rebuild overworked or strained muscles.
Mind tools are highly effective at producing states of profound relaxation and awareness.
NEW TECHNOLOGY
Modern scientific research into the effects of rhythmic light and sound began in the 1930s when scientists discovered that the electrical rhythms of the brain tended to assume the rhythm of a flashing light stimulus. Research over the last 60 years has shown that light/sound devices can rapidly produce states of deep relaxation, and may increase suggestibility and receptivity to new information. Light/sound machines can quickly produce the brain wave state desired by using flashing lights and rhythmic sound. A deep state of awareness can be achieved in minutes, even in people who are inexperienced. I have helped many people achieve states of consciousness they could not easily enter by themselves. By repeatedly experiencing these journeys one can quickly learn how to attain this higher awareness on your own. People have used light and sound tools to explore the meaning of life, reach important goals, change deep-seated behavior patterns and attitudes, grow new connections in the brain, and learn stress reduction and relaxation.
