The following table of brainwave frequencies is a collection of data coming from several sources, most of which are listed below. This is laid out here for informational purposes only. This brainwave frequencies table is the result of outputs from experiments conducted by researchers from all over the world. Should you have some definitive, reproducible findings regarding the effects of some particular frequency or frequencies, whether it be in the nature of binaural, isochronic, rife, or whatever, please don’t hesitate to make a report about it so that it could be tested and confirmed by others who share the same interest and thus be added in the table of brainwave frequencies.

A few years back, I stumbled upon a site called the Brainwave Generator. I do meditation exercises on and off, so when I read that brainwave entrainment enhances and kind of makes one’s meditation experience easier, I immediately plunged into it and studied it thoroughly. The bwgen site introduced me to all this. I did a lot of personal experimentation and created lots of bwgen presets for my own use. I even submitted a couple of presets to the bwgen site library. The ‘Deep Bubble’ and the ‘Deep Bubble 1‘ presets. It garnered a few appreciative comments from some experienced users of brainwave entrainment. There was even one professional therapist who emailed me about how he liked my preset and how he used it on his clients, and how each client related their personal experience with entrainment using the file I made. He also asked me to create more presets.

As I did not fully trust the works of other contributors, I only used presets and sound files I created myself. With the ones I made, I usually feel first the initial physical relaxation. At about the 6th minute, i get the swaying sensations, like I’m on a hammock and being gently swayed to and fro. At other times, I feel like I can initiate the swaying myself just by imagining it. Then it comes. After the swaying comes the flutter of images. The same ones I always see when I’m lying in bed and about to enter the sleep phase. I think this is what they call the hypnagogic phase. Then finally I either fall into some very calm, silent, peaceful state, regardless of the sounds and activity outside, or fall peacefully asleep. Ok, it helps if it’s silent or hushed outside.

I did all this with the goal of achieving what they term ‘astral projection’. Sadly, I have never achieved such, at least not consciously. One other very definite observation I’ve noticed about this exercise is that, if I do brainwave entrainment sessions early or at anytime in the evening, I afterwards feel like I’ve taken a considerable dose of caffeine as I can not sleep at my usual sleeping schedule for that night. That’s why nowadays, I make sure I do it either in the mornings, noontime or early afternoon.

Lastly, I’d like to stress the quality of my sleep in the evenings when I do the session during the day. Peaceful, restful. And my dreams are clearer and more easily recalled. There are probably a lot of things that happened to me with the sessions. Most of them probably are too subtle for me to take notice. I often envy others who report about really cool experiences. Probably, if I can effectively suspend the constant rationalization of my objective mind during the sessions, I’d have better luck.

Background:

Brainwave States

Brainwave states or mind states have been divided by experts in this field into several categories, the most commonly known of which are as follows.

cps means cycles per second. It is also referred to sometimes as bps, or beats per second. A machine called the EEG measures brainwaves and graphically displays it as wiggly waves. Actually, your brain outputs not just one brainwave activity, but several, all varying in magnitude and all of the above-cited brainwave states may be present at the same time. When you are running after your pet dog, most of your brainwaves are those of the beta type, making beta the dominant brainwave. Thus, you are in a beta state of mind.

(Please refer to ‘Brainwave Frequencies‘ for a complete listing of Frequencies and its related functions.)

Binaural Beats/Tones

Binaural beats are produced when two tones of different pitches are played together. A beat that is produced in the clash is the binaural beat. The binaural beats products available today are basically made in the following manner:

[150hZ tone] >> (you) << [160hZ tone]

You listen with headphones to a sound file that plays a 150 hertz tone in one ear and a 160 hertz tone in the other. The binaural beat is that ‘whh-whh-whh’ or ‘whish-whish-whish’ sound you hear in your head. If you measure the frequency of the beat, it is actually 10 beats per second. That is, the frequency of the binaural beat is the difference between the two (2) input tones. 160 – 150 = 10.

Isochronic Beats/Tones

A variation to the binaural beat technique is isochronic beats/tones. Researchers today assert that isochronics perform far better than binaurals in terms of producing entrainment. Aside from that, isochronic beats have the advantage of not needing headphones for listening. You can use external speakers. And there is no necessity of picking two (2) right tones to produce it. A regular drum beat will do. The regular whoosh whoosh of a ceiling fan will work. Thus, isochronic beats are simpler, and more effective.

What good can it do for you?

As long as you’re not epileptic, or someone whom neuro-doctors would advise against entrainment exercises, then brainwave entrainment gives only good. There’s no worry about negative effects as our minds seems to have built-in safety features because brainwave entrainment stops being effective at some point during a session where the mind decides it’s got enough and takes full control back. You’ll see when you’ve tried it.

Most users would use brainwave entrainment for de-stressing and relaxation. Others would use it to get into hypnogogic states for hypnosis, self-suggestions, subliminal suggestions. Meditators find that getting centered and focused is faster and simpler when they utilize entrainment sound files during their meditation.

Psychologists have applied this technology in their treatments of ADHD patients.

Personally, I use it on and off. But when I do, I never use it in the evenings because it disrupts my usual sleeping schedule. I normally hit the sack at 10 pm, but when I do entrainment sessions, say, at 7 pm, drowsiness comes only at around 3 am. Added energy? So, I make sure I do entrainment exercises either in the morning or at noon. I also noticed that the quality of my sleep is better and my dreams are clearer and easier to recall. No, this space wouldn’t be enough if I were to elaborate on the things I’ve experienced with brainwave entrainment. Please read ‘My Entrainment Experience‘ for some of my experiences with this technology.
