06 Peak Performance Sessions

May help with: Stress relief, stimulating, cognition increases, intense focus

This protocol relaxes the user into deep alpha where the user visualizes preparing for their event. Then the session suddenly switches to beta and gamma producing a relaxed yet energized “in the zone” state. Use for athletic events, work, or academics.

Instructions: the user should try to relax as much as possible and visualize themselves preparing, studying or training for their event. Self affirmations such as “I will be the best shortstop in the league” or “I will nail this presentation” can be used. Try to visualize yourself in the third person as if watching a movie or TV. When the music livens up and the light flashing speeds up, visualize yourself actually doing the event and performing flawlessly. Towards the end, post-hypnotic suggestions can be used alluding that the event has already happened successfully; such as “I am the best shortstop in the league” or “I nailed that presentation” visualize yourself in all your glory as if the event had already happened successfully.

May help with: Better sleep patterns, resistance to stress, calming, relaxed focus, attention issues, rumination, overactive mind

Boost brainwave activity in the Sensory Motor Cortex that operates on the SMR frequencies. Increased SMR activity can improve sleep patterns and provide resistance to stress. It can also be very helpful in treating attention and focus related issues. It provides a relaxed, balanced state of mind. Good for calming overactive minds. Use in the morning to gently get going, while working to keep focused for long periods, or in the early evening to help with sleep. Any glasses can be used.

May help with: cognitive issues, cognitive increase of nonverbal tasks, stimulating to improve 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 can slow down or halt the effects of memory related issues and cognitive decline. This session will give users a cognitive boost. The effect is based on sensory deprivation where we allow the mind to clear itself, like creating a blank canvas for our mind to draw upon. Do not use close to bedtime, and limit the use to 2-3 times week until you are familiar with its effects.

May help with: cognitive issues, cognitive increase of nonverbal tasks, stimulating to improve mood

This session alternates 20hz Beta and 40hz gamma for memory issues and cognition. Many studies show the benefits of 40hz entrainment for help with memory related issues and focus. Research shows benefits for age related cognition issues using 40hz entrainment. This is a pick-me-up session. Uses high energy classical music. Also great for a pick-me-up to get you going in the morning.

YOU CAN overdo Gamma entrainment. So limit yourself to 3 sessions per week at first until you know its effects. Gamma can be very energizing, so it shouldn’t be done at night.

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

This session can break stuck thinking patterns and encourage new neural pathways. This may be helpful for stress and trauma.
Instructions: The session starts with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a technique that has found useful for some to reprocess traumatic 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 can activate more areas of the brain simultaneously, as well as increase visuospatial working memory.

May help with: Cognitive increase of nonverbal tasks, stimulating to improve mood, relaxed focus

A tone based, intense session that first targets each brain hemisphere separately. The red LED is constantly flashing at 40 Hz. There will be periods of bilateral flashing of red only. When this happens, move your eyes with the alternating light. The entrainment will come together at 15 Hz and then fade into a binaural beat. A 15 Hz binaural beat has been found to activate more areas of the brain simultaneously.

May help with: breaking stuck thinking patterns, encourage new neural pathways, mood issues, attention and focus, trauma

This session will produce a balanced brainwave pattern where alpha, beta, theta, and gamma are represented simultaneously. The red LED flashes at gamma, the green at alpha and the blue at delta. Pink noise is also present, modulated to SMR. It can be used as a continuation of #06 Break Out (Peak Performance folder), or as a standalone session.

May help with: Headaches resulting from chronic aches

Studies have found that alternate eye flashing can relieve migraine headaches. Some people respond to slow frequencies while others respond to faster light flashing. This one uses high frequencies. We use red lights, as studies have shown them to be the most effective for reducing migraines and headaches. We add in some brown noise to block out distractions. Immersion glasses recommended with eyes open.

May help with: Headaches resulting from chronic aches

Studies have found that alternate eye flashing can relieve migraine headaches. Some people respond to slow frequencies while others respond to faster light flashing. This one uses low frequencies. We use red lights, as studies have shown them to be the most effective for reducing migraines and headaches. We add in some brown noise to block out distractions.
