Hi Veljko,
did you read through the link I posted "The principles of meditation and entrainment"? It's rather long but well worth the read. It covers different types of mantra techniques and a really important point about expectations. Have you also tried without headphones?
Here is a piece I have copied for you from a recent study about entrainment that is easy to understand:-
"The predominant frequency that your brain is resonating with at any particular moment can be associated with your state of mind. This means that your state of mind, for example relaxed, frightened, or sleepy can be seen in your brainwave frequencies at that moment.
Yogis spend years practicing meditation techniques to learn to induce deep states of meditation. The main techniques they have used to be able to achieve these deep states of mind is spending time in dedicated practice hours of practice every day. They work diligently quieting their mind and coaxing their brain into the different states.
In today’s world few people can tell their wives and children that they are going to sit and meditate for three hours, so please be quiet. We can all experience the amazing benefits of Brainwave Entrainment by listening special brainwave music. The music will enable you to achieve these same states in a just few sessions.
Perceptual entrainment comes in two forms. Several authors observed ‘symmetrical’ (or ‘bidirectional’) entrainment, i.e., two systems mutually influence each other when subjects are asked to synchronize their leg or index finger movements with that of another person (Schmidt, Carello and Turvey, 1990; Kelso, 1995). However, symmetrical entrainment has also been reported in contexts where participants are not asked to synchronize (Shockley et al., 2003; Richardson et al., 2007).
Additionally, there is evidence for ‘uni-directional’ entrainment, i.e., a robust external oscillator influences a system, but nor vice versa. This has been shown in studies investigating brainwave synchronization following rhythmic stimulation, i.e., entrainment to periodic acoustic stimuli (Will and Berg, 2007).
2.2 The Benefits of Brainwave Entrainment
There are a few of the benefits you can experience with Brainwave Entrainment.
a. Increase your focus and concentration.
b. Increased memory performance.
c. Increased creativity and problem solving ability.
d. Enhanced sleep and ease of getting to sleep.
e. Enhanced health.
f. Access your intuition.
g. Relaxation and stress reduction.
h. Behavior modification (getting rid of your bad habits).
In the above benefits, 1, 2 and 3 is rated to the learning efficiency. When your brain is brought into an alpha or delta state by Brainwave Entrainment, you will find that you have improved your learning abilities.
There are studies that say most of all sickness is strongly linked to stress. Stress causes chemical changes in the brain which in turn affect your health. By using Brainwave Entrainment to change the state that your brain is in, you can affect your health in a positive manner. Just by bringing your brain into an alpha state you will find that your stress melts away and your outlook on life brightens.
I do want to mention that diet and exercise is also crucial to reducing stress and you will find that you can use Brainwave Entrainment to help program your mind to change your diet and get you to exercise. The benefits to be realized by controlling your brainwaves are wonderful. You may be thinking, Brainwave Entrainment is similar in the sense that you will find over time you will be able to handle stress and life’s issues more easily."
