These cds sound like simple classical music, but they do indeed assist you to enter different states of mind. For best effect, wear stereo headphones. But even without, you will find it easier to relax, sleep and meditate. If you don't like classical, the Brainwaves Suite has a new age/environmental sound.

My curiousity was well rewarded when I first listened to these four CDs. The symphonic music is seamlessly recorded, accented with tone notations that are easy on the ear and peaceful on the mind. This set is at the office, on the iPod and the home computer, and loaned to others on a regular basis. They have flavored prayer services and supported pastoral conversations. Make good presents, too. Worried about subliminal suggestion? Well, if clearer thinking and thoughtful reflection is subliminal thinking, then you will get the message each time you listen to these recordings. Other recordings by Dr. Thompson deliver just as these do.

I used the first CD in this collection (Alpha) to assist me during the labor and delivery of our daughter. I put it on our ipod and listened to it over and over during the labor process. I actually managed a light nap during active labor and had very little pain throughout the process. It that doesn't tell you that it keeps you relaxed and able to meditate, I don't know whatelse might convince you. The recording is great, the music lovely, and it does what it claims to do. I highly recommend it!

Dr. Jeffrey Thompson's brainwave entrainment music is by far the most effective. This CD set is excellent. Whether you are a classical music fan or not, listening to this CD will produce results. I was concerned when I bought the CD that I would be getting second rate classical music or possibly that it would be warped by the "brainwaves." Not so. These are beautiful, timeless recordings of some of the greatest classical masters. And, the brainwaves cannot even be heard in the music (at least I can't hear it!)

This CD set is also useful because it can be listened to and experienced without headphones. It's nice to have the choice of different brainwaves, and the ability to let it play in the background while I go about other things. (Others of his CDs require headphones, lying down, etc.)

Highly recommended.

This 4-CD set is filled with sublimely beautiful classical music, chosen to fit the mood induced by the wave technology. The Delta one has become part of my evening routine and I really do find I sleep better when I listen to it. The Gamma one blends into the background when I'm reading something dense or composing a technical email (something that requires concentration and brainpower). The Alpha one is great when I'm just hanging out with a novel. As with all technologies of this type, they work "better" with stereo headphones but I've been using them without. I did try the sleep one with headphones once and it put me right out. Without headphones it creates more of a lulling, tranquil ambiance. I am thoroughly enjoying this CD set.

I really like the classical music on all but the delta cd. This one is supposed to be for sleep but I find it sinister and annoying, but the rest of the cds are good.

While the classical music was nice, I didn't notice any effects that helped me sleep, relax, or energize.

So far I have only really used the relaxation CD, which works amazingly well. I have been flying more red-eyes lately in part because I know I can sleep on the plane from as soon as I get on. However, I have always slept pretty well on airplanes!

I keep forgetting to try out the rest of the CD collection.

These really work! Ever wonder why listening to classical music may make you more up-tight than relaxing you? Here's the reason...
