The Benefits of Using Mind MachinesMind Machines induce deep states of relaxation, diminish negative emotions, and simplify the discipline of meditation.
For centuries, meditation schools, churches, and temples have used sensory stimulation to heighten one's experience. They integrated light and sound to quiet and calm… temple bells, singing, chanting, aesthetic architecture, flickering candles, incense, etc.
Light and sound machines were first introduced to the world by hypnotherapists, who used them to quickly induce a twilight state, rendering patients in a mind state conducive for behavior modification suggestions. Today, many psychologists use them to help with mood swings, attention deficit disorders, anxiety and to release stress.
The benefits of Mind Machines are center around the concept of what's called entrainment. Entrainment means that the brainwaves take on the same rhythm of light or sound pulses. Think of when you take a walk by the ocean, the slow pulsing sounds of the surf slow down the brainwaves to that rhythm so the result relaxes you.
