Book Description

Publication Date: 2007

A Breakthrough Audio Technology Based on Your Natural Brainwaves

We all experience various states of consciousness such as ordinary waking awareness, sleep, and dreaming. Occasionally we experience extraordinary states in which we are more at peace, particularly alert and aware, or unusually creative. Each state has a unique pattern of brainwaves that can be measured and mapped. Brainwave Suite uses inaudible pulses of sound based on these brainwave patterns. Embedded within lush ambient music, these pulses trigger your brain to produce the state you want to experience.

CD1 Alpha Relaxation & Meditation ALPHA waves combined with classical guitar, bamboo flutes, and sounds of birds and gentle breezes free your mind to experience states of relaxation and meditation. Use this program in the background for stress reduction and relaxation, or listen more intently to support any meditation practice.

CD2 Theta Insight & Intuition THETA waves floating amid orchestral strings, deep resonant tones of Tibetan bells, and the patter of raindrops promote vivid mental imagery, emotional insight, and expansive creativity. Use this program to enhance creative problem solving, and to connect with your intuition and artistic expression.

CD3 Delta Sleep & Rejuvenation DELTA waves embedded within soothing ocean sounds and tones of Tibetan bowls relax you and lead you to restful sleep. To fall asleep, simply allow the music to guide your brainwaves into rejuvenating delta sleep. To stay asleep, set the recording to play all night long.

CD4 Alpha / Theta Awakened Mind Combined ALPHA/THETA waves (the "awakened mind pattern") with sounds of flowing streams, rainfall, and distant thunder lead you to the state of clarity and awareness of advanced yogis and experienced meditators. This program supports meditation practice, sharpens mental performance, and promotes inner peace.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for relaxation, coping w/ pain & sleep disorders!, February 16, 2004

Dr. Thompson's research and development of this (and his other) CD sets is incredible!

I have played this for group meditations I have conducted, to relax (and loaned and recommended to others who have had stress issues &/or problems relaxing), for those with chronic pain & sleep disorders. I've even gotten my dentist to buy other works of Dr. Thompson's for use in his office to help his patients relax, and he's reported it has been very effective!

In addition, I used it after major surgery both before and post-surgery. I wanted to be as relaxed and as comfortable as possible before and after surgery. Because of the relaxing properties, I would not allow the doctor to use the CDs on the overhead in the Operating Room (OR), as I was sincerely concerned about it over-relaxing the surgical team. My surgeon laughed about it, and we left it in my portable CD player under the gurney, and it was the first thing I asked for after my surgery. It was amazing the amount of pain this music & some hot blankets on an abdomin relieved after I had my hysterectomy!!! When the surgeon saw me the next day, he made a comment about what I had said about being concerned the Theta or Delta (I can't recall which one I had in the CD player, as I have them all!) may make the surgical team a bit too relaxed. He laughed, and so I challenged him to borrow my CDs and to listen to them that night. The next day, he came into my room and said he'd slept better than he had in a long time, and his wife, who normally had difficulties sleeping, had too! (I told him to put it on repeat so it would play all night, which is what I do sometimes with soft headphones.) He asked where he could get a copy, and I gave him the information and told him he could find it here, or at a couple of local metaphysical stores.

He said he was going to consider using it with all his patients, as I recovered so much easier and faster, and had an easier time with my surgery than other patients - especially considering I also have a chronic pain condition & a sleep disorder! I slept very well, and a week later spent the day at the park with a friend at an event for world peace! (the only real problem I had was with the horribly greasy hospital food I was given, which caused severe pain that not even a maximum dose of morphine couldn't touch! NEVER eat greasy foods after abdominal surgery!)

I would recommend any (actually ALL) of Dr. Thompson's CDs to everyone (except for the ones with classical music, unless one likes this kind of music.) But ESPECIALLY for anyone who works in the health field, with anxiety, sleep disorders or other health problems where sleep and relaxation is an issue. Massage therapists, spas & schools would also do well to have these CDs in their facilities. I put a LAN party of soda and pizza-filled teenagers to sleep with the Delta set!

If I could give these CDs all 100 stars, I would, as they are simply that wonderful!

Thank you Dr. Thompson for your dedication, and please keep it coming! :)

3.0 out of 5 stars A Very Good Sampler of Brainwave Entrainment Music, April 22, 2004

By 

Patrick Low (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Brainwave Suite (Audio CD)

This is a great sampler of music for generating alpha, theta and delta waves for less than $10 a disc. In my personal experience, Jeffrey Thompson's music works best with guided meditations because his music is so evocative, more so than half a dozen new-age artists that I am familiar with.
In the beginning, I did mindfulness meditation with Thompson's music and improved my concentration somewhat but not much. I only made significant progress by getting guided meditation books from the library and using visualisations along with Thompson's Theta Meditation 2-CD set, which I highly recommend. I'm giving this set a 3-star rating because it is much darker and gloomier than his Theta set. Apart from the relaxing Alpha CD, the others are overly permeated with rain and thunder, and in the theta set punctuated with sinister grunts and snapping twigs. When I am doing my visualisations, I invariably end up dressed like Kate Beckinsale in the movie Underworld and walking through rainy bogs, marshes and swamps. That is not to say this is necessarily bad, but I prefer meeting my spirit guides in a sunny meadow.
The big surprise for me was meditating to the Delta CD. You can meditate to this CD if you take a long nap and drink some strong coffee. I can't vouch for anyone else, but this CD puts me into a trance that is beyond words, thoughts or visual imagery. Unfortunately, the delta CD is the creepiest of all, with synthesizer melodies that Thompson perhaps channelled from another dimension. It's a little scary, so I don't meditate to this one that often. To date I've not had any luck with the Awakened Mind CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Relaxation and Meditation made easy., February 24, 2006

By 

Jersey Girl "Jmm" (Santa Monica, CA. USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Brainwave Suite (Audio CD)

I have been enjoying these CD's for some time now and have felt less stressed and more rested than I was without them. I have given this set of CD's to friends with anxiety and sleep problems and all have reported back that they love the Brainwave Suite and have had great results because of them.
I've been so pleased with the CD's, I've purchased other brainwave entrainment sets offered by Dr. Jeffrey Thompson.
