14 Theta - Use to enhance your creativity. Use theta with guided imagery, music and for learning new behaviors and habits. 30 Min 6.5
15 Fractionated Theta - May be used for creative activities and to enhance creativity or may be used for sleep.
 24 Min 6
16 Theta with HRV & Dissociation - May be used for creative activities and to enhance creativity. May be helpful for sleep. 36 Min 5.5
Delta - The Sleep State
17 Meditate to Sleep with HRV & Dissociation - Meditate, visualize, or think pleasant thoughts during the first half (8 Hz) so that you may fall asleep during the second half (3 Hz). 45 Min 8 to 3
18 Delta with Dissociation - This session may help bring on sleep by turning off the "chatter" that sometimes occurs after a busy day. 45 Min 3.5
19 Fractionated Delta with HRV - Helpful in gaining a longer and more restorative sleep. 36 Min 4

Passive Sessions - These sessions help to create healthy dissociative mind states for relaxation, visualization and auto-suggestion, without entrainment.
20 Sub-Delta with HRV - Very effective for chronic pain, fibromyalgia and hypertension. Calms the hypothalamus. 24 Min 0.5 to 1
21 Tranquilite with HRV - Uses the Ganzfeld effect for a passive approach to assist in meditation and creativity. 20 Min 0

Peak Performance - Improve any skill or academic and sport performance.
22 Skill/Sport Enhancement with HRV & Dissociation - Use this session with visualization to develop any skill or improve performance. Visualize feeling your best during the first half (alpha) and then  visualize your perfect performance during the second half (beta) of the session. 24 Min 8.5 to 18

Dual Brain Wave Stimulation - The "L" and "R" for the target rate represents the visual field of stimulation. Left visual field stimulation means right hemisphere brain stimulation; right visual field stimulation means left hemisphere brain stimulation.
23 SMR/Beta Mix - Increases left brain function to improve attention and relaxing the right brain to reduce hyperactivity and distractibility. 24 Min L13.5/R18
24 Brain Brightener (SMR/Beta and Alpha) with HRV - Use with seniors to improve mental function and memory. Based on Budzynski's study. Similar to ADD and Learning session (#25) but uses gentle transitions more amenable for seniors. Use also for ADD. 26 Min L14/R18 & 10
25 ADD and Learning (SMR/Beta & Alpha) with HRV - This session has rapid transitions between 14/18 and 10 Hz for mental stimulation to help keep the user "engaged" in the session. This session was used in our ADD study published in the Journal of Neurotherapy. 26 Min L14/R18 & 10
26 Depression Reduction with HRV - Settles down negative emotions from the right brain while stimulating the left brain to rebalance alpha asymmetry. 30 Min L10/R18
27 Beta/Theta - Increases right brain (artistic, spacial) function while reducing analytical left brain functions. 30 Min L18/R6
28 Alpha/Theta with HRV - For a deep and refreshing relaxation. 30 Min L10/R6
29 Theta/Delta with HRV - For improved and more restorative sleep. 32 Min L6/R4
30 Fractionated Hypnosis - This session simulates the hypno-therapy process. 30 Min 8
31 Mental Flexibility - Flex your neural muscles. This session helps to clear "mental fog" and increase mental flexibility. 22 Min 4 & 20
32 Paradise Hemistep with HRV & Dissociation - Use to reduce mental chatter and to promote relaxation. 32 Min 7.8 & 7
33 Emotional Learning - Dr. Thomas Budzynski observed links between the theta state and accelerated learning. He notes "when in theta, people are able to learn new languages, accept suggestions for new behaviors and learn vast amounts of information." To avoid falling asleep in theta and to maintain this "twilight" state of mind, we gently fluctuate the rate and intensity. 30 Min 5.5

Just For Fun: Sit back & enjoy the scenery!
34 Roller Coaster 6 Min --
35 Here, There & Everywhere 6 Min --

Music Modulation - Incredible lucid experiences based on audio input frequency range of 52 to 1275 Hz. Audio frequencies below 160 Hz will slow the rate down by up to 1 Hz. Frequencies above 160 Hz will increase the rate by up to 1 Hz. This creates a lucid effect.
36 Centre Frequency Rate of 6.0 Hz
37 Centre Frequency Rate of 7.0 Hz
38 Centre Frequency Rate of 8.0 Hz
39 Centre Frequency Rate of 9.0 Hz

Our brains produce "sweeping" electrical charges. These charges create a rhythm know as brainwave patterns. These patterns are observable through electroencephalograph (EEG) instruments. EEG’s record and measure large amounts of neurons firing in unison. Brainwave patterns are commonly grouped into four different categories: Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta. Each of these brainwave patterns are associated with various states of mind.

Beta Waves are quick, low amplitude waves of 14 to 40 times per second (Hz). Beta brainwave patterns are generated naturally when in an awake, focused and alert state of consciousness.

Alpha Waves are between 8 and 13 Hz and occur during sensorial rest (eg. when the eyes are closed), intellectual relaxation, deep relaxation or meditation. Alpha brainwave rhythms produce: peaceful feelings, warm hands and feet, a sense of well-being, improved sleep, improved academic performance, increased productivity in the workplace, reduced anxiety and improved immune functioning. It is believed that many creative geniuses, such as Einstein, were in a semi-permanent Alpha state.

Alpha/Theta Border are the Schumann Resonance and the State Five Meditation sessions. At the Alpha/Theta border (7 to 8 Hz), exceptional insights and personal transforming experiences may occur.

Theta Waves are between 4 and 8 Hz and are commonly referred to as the dream or "twilight" state. Theta is associated with hypnogogic states, REM and dreaming. Memory development is enhanced in this state. In the Theta brainwave state, memory is improved (particularly long term memory), and access to unconscious material, reveries, free association, sudden insight and creative ideas is increased.

Delta Waves are observed when in a sleeping state. As we fall asleep the dominant natural brainwave becomes Delta. Delta waves are the slowest of brainwaves spanning from 1 to 4 Hz in frequency. There is growing evidence that individuals may maintain a slightly conscious state while in Delta.

All brainwave states serve important mental functions. However research has shown that the natural, healthy Alpha rhythm is very close to 10 Hz. In today’s lifestyle, the return to a peaceful, mind/body way of being has become difficult to achieve and maintain for any period of time. This causes disease in the body/mind, and this is why it is so important for us to relearn or retrain our body and brains to get back to higher levels of Alpha.
