Brainwave Symphony with Dr. Jeffrey Thompson

BRAINWAVE SYMPHONY brings together creative forms of music be it baroque, classical, romantic, impressionistic, and other twentieth-century periods with proven brain entrainment audio technology to bring you the most advanced in classical romanticism and modern brainwave neuro-science.

We all are familiar with many states of consciousness, from normal waking states and deep sleep states to peak experience states in which we are more inner-balanced, ultra-aware, or extraordinarily creative.

Each mental state has a distinct pattern of brainwaves that can be mapped and measured using modern electroencephalograph (eeg) equipment that is proven in a laboratory environment.

Brainwave Symphony uses of subtle pulsations of sound, based on these brainwave patterns, to gently and naturally guide your brain to simulate the state of mind you want to tap into at will.

Orchestrating this effective and innovative recording process with tastefully selected musical works of Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, Bach, and other classical masters offers a pleasurable and once in a lifetime listening experience as well as a powerful brain entrainment tool for personal development.

Fast Stress Reduction Tips Escalate Happiness at Work – Decrease Negativity & Boost Productivity
By Doris Helge, Ph.D.

Enjoy new ways to reduce stress & boost happiness at work. Quickly turn anxiety & anger into peace and calm. These techniques were proven in the “National Happiness at Work Studies” when exploring how to turn negativity at work into peace of mind, peak performance, and joy on the job.

You can quickly reduce stress without waiting for a weekend, vacation, or massage. You’ll feel empowered when you take action to meet your needs, and that automatically elevates your happiness at work. A few of the easy strategies described below require planning ahead so you have materials on hand. However, each tip will only take you a few minutes to implement once you’re set up. Less stress results in greater creativity, higher productivity, and fewer conflicts with “difficult people.” If you’re a manager, tell your employees about these stress reduction techniques because they accelerate employee engagement.

GET IN THE GROOVE

A finger labyrinth can center your mind, calm anger and anxiety, stimulate creativity, and shift your perspective regarding a tough challenge. The power of a labyrinth is simple. It integrates physical movement with a challenge to your left brain. You stop perseverating about a stressful situation and allow creative solutions to emerge.

I discovered the power of a full-scale labyrinth at a progressive hospital that encouraged patients and their loved ones to explore a beautifully landscaped “puzzle” area (the labyrinth). Day after day, I watched distraught clients and their families enjoy their lives more even if their situations had not visibly improved.

On the job, use your nondominant hand to “walk” through a finger labyrinth because you stimulate different neural networks when you do this. This will provide easier access to your intuition. If you don’t already have a finger labyrinth in your desk, pocket, or purse, you can discover how to buy or create one by searching “labyrinth” on the World Wide Web.

ORCHESTRATE YOUR MIND

Certain types of music have been associated with relaxation because music can stimulate specific brain states. Companies such as Sound Health, The Relaxation Company, Inner Peace, New Earth, and Phillips, and composers such as Morry Zelcovitch offer outstanding collections of brain-entrainment music that induce specific levels of consciousness.

The strategy of using music to entrain your brain state is so successful that employees in many offices I work with cooperatively select the recordings they play as background music. We usually test the results, just as I have tested the effects of all of the “More Joy on the Job Strategies” I recommend to my clients.

Since the results are positive and measurable, I’m suggesting this strategy to you. You can also create your own private brainwave symphony by using an iPod or a portable CD player and headphones.

FOLLOW YOUR NOSE

Unique aromas produce distinct physiological effects and mood states. Essential oils and flower essences can dramatically affect your feelings because your olfactory sense is directly connected to the limbic area of your brain (the seat of your emotions).

Employees frequently use essential oils to elevate concentration and arouse feelings such as peace and joy. Some Japanese companies diffuse lemon and peppermint essential oils to increase productivity.

I’ve introduced sandalwood and nutmeg to organizations I’ve consulted with because they can decrease stress. A blend of rosemary and lemon improves focus. Other oils, such as ylang ylang and bergamot, stimulate the production of the feel-good neurotransmitter serotonin. Lavender triggers alpha and theta brain waves. Chamomile, rose, and orange blossom are calming. Jasmine is said to imbue confidence in dealing with difficult problems, which can elevate your self-esteem.

Once you experience the benefits of aromatherapy, you’ll probably keep vials in your car and home as well as at work. When purchasing essential oils or flower essences, keep in mind that the quality of the product will determine its effectiveness.

BONUS: FAST STRESS REDUCTION TIP

Rub a drop of peppermint or lavender essential oil into your wrists when you feel anxious. Breathe deep belly breaths while you enjoy the delicious smell. The lovely fragrance can refresh many parts of your body at once because the arteries in your wrists are close to the surface. Therefore, the benefits of the cooling, calming oils are quickly distributed throughout your body. This tip also works great behind your ear lobes because your ear lobes are saturated with reflexology points related to the physiology of stress.

A side benefit of using essential oils is that you smell good. This can trigger a subtle boost in charisma, customer satisfaction, and the subliminal perception that you’re a natural leader (a.k.a. “promotion material”).

Don’t have essential oils on hand? Substitute cold water for the oils, but make a note to buy essential oils because the side benefits are at least as much fun as the stress reduction.
