  • Page 12 Sessions to wake you up and stimulate you for an energetic morning. These are in the 19 - 23 Hz range. Energize Sessions using Eye Movement Desensitization and Restabilization technique. EMDR Sessions help increase myelin, cerebral spinal fluid, and amyloid plaques. These sessions are used to help with cognition and brain function all around.

  • Page 13: Ave Session Descriptions

    AVE S ESSION ESCRIPTIONS All of the AVE sessions (except Ganzfeld) also include CES to assist with relaxation by increasing endorphins and serotonin. After 20 years of observation, we have concluded that mild randomization (±1Hz) is more effective than a fixed frequency which we call RAVE (Randomized Audio-Visual Entrainment).
  • Page 14 Paradise - 40 min – 6.5 Hz Developed in the 1990s, this is a favourite for those wanting a deep, relaxed state of mind. A gentle slide down from alpha to theta. Extroverts with low anxiety produce high levels of this theta frequency. (RAVE &...
  • Page 15 Schumann for Sleep – 60 min – 7.8 Hz For effective deep meditation and to improve the onset of sleep. Calms “hyper-chattery” minds. Ideal for those with insomnia who have a busy mind and tense body. Comes with a pre-set audio file ocean waves.

  • Page 17 AVE – Performance Performance sessions can improve your mental game (focus and concentration) as also seen in the Brain Booster sessions. Performance sessions may also be designed for emotional and game-playing visualizations for improved performance. Performance sessions may also be used for relaxing before or after an event or game.

    cerebral blood flow. In order to balance intracranial pressure, the brain pushes CSF out. But when the stimulation stops, the intracranial blood volume reduces, and the brain pulls in CSF. About 10% whole- brain CSF is exchanged on each 30 second cycle. Eight, 12 and 40 Hz were found to produce more pumping than other frequencies.

  • Page 22: Eyeset Colors

    EYESET COLORS Eyeset colors coincide with the research done by Marvin Sams and Nancy White, where they found that colors influence brain waves. The colors in many of the sessions will change as the frequency changes. The applications of the colors shown in the color wheel are generalities, based on client observations. The colors may be changed in the Session Settings.
