5.0 out of 5 stars I have had AMAZING results with multiply-handicapped!, April 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Brainwave Suite (w/booklet) (Audio CD)

I have worked with profound, multipley handicapped individuals for 18 years. Since purchasing this package, I have been able to reduce behavioral involvement, relax anxiety-induced contractures and motivate movement in CP clients. I also loaned it to a friend to use during a CT scan; she's extremely clostrophobic & had two attempts fail prior to using the Brainwave CD. I highly recommend using a good headphone set: the sound actually "swirls" around you. BUY THIS! It's way cool!

5.0 out of 5 stars strange effects, May 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Brainwave Suite (w/booklet) (Audio CD)

This Cd-set gives me a strange feeling: you're listening to constantly shifting waves and/or music in your earphones, going from left to right and vice versa. The ALPHA Cd is uplifting, melodic with birds singing and the DELTA CD is rainfall with some thunder etc... It's a mystery to me how thunder and rain can bring my brains into DELTA (which is supposed to be similar with a deep nightrest). I just can't sleep listening to this DELTA CD ! Perhaps the CD's do work but I much more prefer Kelly Howell's CD 'Deep meditation' wich brings me after a month's daily listening for 30 minutes listening really into a deep meditation. This deep meditation did not yet occur with the Brainwave Suite.

5.0 out of 5 stars Drifting into a Dream State, August 20, 2003

Dr. Jeffrey Thompson has been researching the effect of sound since 1981. He has since established a sound research center in San Diego. He believes in the stress reduction benefits of sound and has proven the effects through clinical research in universities, hospitals and private practices over a period of many years.

This music is based on nature sounds and is very relaxing and beautiful. I also noticed that my creativity increased. Probably because I am sleeping so well and am well rested and more alert. I feel that these CDs almost clear the fog in your brain. It is like a vacation for your brain.

What does this music sound like? It is all different. I loved two of the CDs the most. I will review those.

If sounds swirl around you in the dance of spinning mermaids, that is the best description for what happens when I listen to the Alpha Meditation selection. There is a certain musical spinning which surrounds you and then there are notes that swirl about independently as they also rotate around you like planets. It is fascinating and addictive.

There are sounds of waves crawling up beaches mingled with singing bowls, birds, raindrops, flutes, echoes from beyond time and space. I see flowers blooming in gardens filled with orchids and even sea creatures playing out in a huge ocean. It is a mixture of deep rainforest and coastal escapes.

The notes spin from one side of my headphones to the other. It makes me blissfully dizzy. You literally feel you are being pulled down into a whirlpool of sleep. I have been listening to this CD every night to fall asleep fast.

When none of my other CDs help me sleep, this is the one I reach for. At times I am unable to sleep after listening to three other CDs, then I put this one in and

I am completely asleep in minutes.

Yes, when in bed, it can help you fall asleep. When listening while typing, it just becomes a relaxing escape. I seem to be able to leave the Bass Boost on with this CD.

I prefer Disc 4 (Emotional Openness and Intimate Communication) without as much depth and they sound more clear with my DBB turned off. Otherwise it has a roar and you can not hear the more delicate sounds. Turn off your Dynamic Bass Boost and the music becomes much more delicate and relaxing.

This CD sounds like beautiful notes of pure sounds that dance around your mind or water dripping from the inside of a cave into deep pools of sound. Fall asleep floating away on a river that seems to be endless.

Also Recommended:

Steven Halpern: Ancient Echoes, Music for Sound Healing, Enhancing Intimacy, Self-Esteem and the Sacred Chorde. I also have enjoyed falling asleep to: Keith Jarett: the Melody at Night.

If you are looking for emotional healing, a great CD is called: Giving Love Away by Robert Shahidi. It is amazing, I fall completely asleep just as the last words are playing and always remember myself being half aware and then I?m blissfully asleep. This CD heals my emotions like nothing I have experienced before. I highly recommend it.

Another great way to get into a relaxed state is by doing the "Yoga Zone: Flexibility and Stress Release" DVD or Video. It is amazing. It knocks me out because when I'm done exercising, all I want to do is climb into my soft warm bed.
