BrainTune: How It Works http://www.peakgenius.com/braintunehowitworks.

html

BrainTune® is a special mp3 sound file which uses extremely specific sound frequencies to create an effect in your mind. These frequencies range from
0.5 Hz, all the way upto 40Hz. The frequencies of the sound are "followed" by the brain, creating strong mental changes. These changes can also be
measured using an Electro Encephalograph (EEG) device which shows the waveform of the brainwave frequency produced. The purity of the sounds is
what allows for the changes.

Below are examples of the types of frequency sounds, what it would look like under an EEG measuring device, and the state of mind which happens
from this. _______________

In the Beta state, your mind is fully awake and alert. This is useful for problem solving, logical problems
Beta and every day tasks. It's generally the default state for the conscious mind and left-brain activities.
14 - 40 hz BrainTune® packages which use beta frequencies are Super Mind, Optimal Focus and Logic Whiz.

In the Alpha state, the mind is more relaxed and is almost in a daydreaming state. This
alpha range is associated with increased imagination, creativity, visualisation,
Alpha daydreaming and deep thought problem solving. It is also the state of accelerated
8 - 13 hz learning and optimal states for memory tasks. BrainTune® packages where alpha waves
are most used are Learning Curve, Creativity Spark and Deep Thought.
Thought

The Theta state is a deeply relaxed state. It is associated with bursts of intuition,
Theta inspiration and insight, vivid dreams, supernormal creativity, self-hypnosis and deep
4 - 7 hz meditation. The BrainTune® packages which use theta waves most here are Deep
Meditate, Life Change, Deep Relax and Deep Sleep.

The Delta state is the deepest state of dreamlessness and no thinking. It is associated
with super healing, regeneration of the body, superconscious and non-physical body
Delta experiences. The BrainTune® packages which use delta waves are Healing Power and
