01 Mental Health Sessions

The sessions in this folder are designed to aid those with a wide range of issues that may result from irregular brainwaves. Some target multiple brainwave frequencies. Sessions may help with mood, focus, attention, memory, cognition, rest and repressed memories. Some have instructions to follow during the session. See descriptions below for specific benefits of each or consult your doctor for more specific details about each session.

An * next to the session name indicates that light colors or strobing effects can be changed. Press the bottom of the wheel once a session starts.

The Nexus unit sessions are designed to help guide the mind into desired frequencies, which may improve mental states while using it. No long term or permanent benefits have been researched or implied. If you experience any discomfort while running a session, we recommend you discontinue use and consult your doctor.

#01 Emotion Relief (memories, emotions)

May help with: Accessing repressed memories, relaxation, deep meditation

This session targets 7 Hz theta to connect with the subconscious, which may help with repressed memories. Thought-provoking music is specially composed. In predictable locations, the light and sound will pan back and forth. The user should move their eyes back and forth with the panning. This may help desensitize negative memories and reprocess them in a healthy manner. Use the immersion glasses.

#02 Refocus (focus, calming) *

May help with: Stress reduction, memory recall, mood, relaxed focus

This session uses disentrainment, which is a combination of random frequencies from 1 hz Delta to 22 hz Beta. Because randomization is unfamiliar to the mind, it may help with focus and attention. It may help with stuck thinking patterns. It then moves out of randomization and into slower wave frequencies, which may help with relaxation. It adds a dose of SMR for relaxed focus, which may help with self-awareness. Benefits may include increased focus, calmer disposition and better rest.

#03 Uplifting (focus, cognition) *

May help with: Mood issues, cognitive increase of nonverbal tasks, memory

An uplifting beta/gamma session that may increase focus and sharpen cognition, or get you energized before going to work or the gym. It may increase faster brainwave activity and inhibit excessive slow wave activity. It starts with blue light which has been shown to produce serotonin, which may help mood. This session can be very energizing, so it is recommended that you use it early in the day as to not affect sleep patterns. It may also be used before studying or taking tests to sharpen focus. It may boost cognition. Although effective with eyes closed glasses, eyes open with immersion glasses may suppresses slower brainwave patterns.

#04 Fear Ease (calming) *

May help with: Pain relief, accelerated healing, fibromyalgia, sleep

This session uses very slow sub delta frequencies, which may soothe the amygdala and ease chronic aches. The amygdala is the part of the brain that manages the fight, flight or freeze response, so it is very sensitive to external stimuli. The sound of rain may produce alpha rhythms in the brain.

#05 Desensitize (Stuck patterns)

May help with: Accessing repressed memories, stress, memory recall, mood

EDMR, also called Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing involves panning the eyes back and forth while visualizing painful memories. Research studies on EMDR have shown it may desensitize emotions connected to the memory and reprocess them in a healthy way. This technique can also help break stuck thinking patterns, allowing new ideas to flow. In this session we use panning light flickers at 10 Hz, isochronic tones and brown noise. Use Eyes open immersion glasses or eyes closed

#06 Fight or Flight Recovery (Fatigue)

May help with: Aches, promote better rest

The amygdala is the part of the brain known to manage the fight, flight or freeze response, so it is very sensitive to external stimuli. Research shows that Delta and sub-Delta frequencies can be soothing to the emotional amygdala. These frequencies have been known to reduce aches. Light flickers and binaural beats are used cycling from 4 Hz down to one and back up to four.

#07 Emotion Balancing Bi-hemisphere

May Help With: Right brain: Stress reduction, mood, memory – Left brain: Relaxed focus, resistance to stress, balance

This session may help those dealing with negative memories. It uses bi-hemisphere training, which is when the left and right are being trained at different frequencies. Research has shown that bi-hemisphere training can provide improved benefits, because you can target each side of the brain separately for optimal results. This session may clam the right brain with alpha frequencies and balance the left with SMR.

#08 Chronic Recovery *

May help with: Aches, better rest

Research has shown that Human Growth Hormone is produced in the brain at low Delta frequencies. This session targets those low 1.5 Hz frequencies. Looping this track may produce delta rhythms in the brain that can benefit aches and discomfort. It is meant to be looped all night. You can use eyes closed or immersion glasses with earbuds, or you can put the closed eyes glasses on an adjacent nightstand or pillow. You can use an external speaker.

#09 Gamma 40hz Focus & Memory *

May help with: cognition, mood

This session targets the gamma range at 40hz. Many studies show the benefits of 40hz entrainment for help with memory related issues and focus. Gamma brainwaves help connect and process information throughout the brain, but may be diminished in well known cognitive disorders.

#10 Memory Boost (Cognition)

May help with: cognition, mood

This session targets the gamma range around 40hz. Scientific research from MIT and other academic institutions have shown that targeting this range from 40hz – 42hz may slow down memory related issues. The effect is based on the concept of sensory deprivation where the mind may clear itself. Do not use close to bedtime, and limit the use to 2-3 times week until you are familiar with its effects.

#11 Delta P.A.R. (Persistent Ache Relief)

May help with: Aches

Delta is the slowest brainwave. Usually found during deep dreamless sleep, Delta waves may help the body repair itself. Sessions in this range and below (sub-delta) may help with aches and improve rest. The latest research suggests that stimulation in this range may soothe the amygdala. This session can double as a sleep loop to be played all night if you wish.

#12 Balance Recovery (Balance, ringing)

May help with: Balance, stress reduction, memory, mood, light meditation,

Some people may have a condition where they experience dizziness as well as ringing in their ears, which may sometimes lead to deafness. This session uses low pitched isochronic Alpha tones at 10hz, which may benefit those with these issues. You will barely be able to hear the audio. Green lights may inhibit sleep, as they are known to disrupt melatonin production. So do not use this before bed.

#14 Break Out (Break stuck patterns)

May help with: Mood, stress reduction, relaxation, deep meditation, memory

This session may help break stuck thinking patterns and encourage new neural pathways. This may be helpful for stress and painful memories.
Instructions: The session starts with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a technique that has may help some to reprocess memories. Think of a thought or memory that bothers you or is stuck in your head while moving your eyes back and forth to the light and sound. It is important for your eyes to move. It then targets the right hemisphere with beta while keeping the left in alpha, then reverses it. The hemispheres will come together at 15 Hz SMR, which may activate more areas of the brain simultaneously.

#15 Zone Out Meditation (Stress)

May help with: Profound relaxation, deep meditation, stress, memory recall, mood

A session that may promote deep relaxation or meditation using Schumann Resonance frequencies. It may help with stress reduction.
Instructions: you will be prompted to begin breath pacing after 1 min. After initial instructions, follow the light pattern as long as you like. The light pacing will continue for five minutes.
For further meditation: at six minutes you will hear a bell chime. This is to alert you that you are now entering a deep alpha state. Here you can repeat self affirmations and mental visualizations. Keep affirmations positive and simple such as “I am healthy and smoke free” or “people find me intelligent and like to be around me”. Visualize as if watching yourself in a movie or on TV. At 15 minutes you will hear another bell chime. This tells you that you are entering the theta stage. At this point you can simply relax.
