Relaxation Aids
One relaxation aid that many people have found helpful is listening to
binaural beats which stimulate certain brainwave frequencies. The basic concept behind these is that when we listen to certain sound tones or frequencies they stimulate either Alpha (relaxation/meditation), Theta (insight/intuition), Beta (sleep/rejuvenation) or Gamma (very high state of consciousness - 'mystical') brainwaves.
Reviews of brainwave entrainment audios indicate that the less expensive options work just as well as those of a higher price.
I personally use brainwave entrainment audios nearly every day when I am meditating, meridian tapping or just wanting a rest. I also have a stimulating audio by Dr Jeffrey Thompson that I often listen to while I am working. I do notice that they affect my brainwave patterns and that since I have been using them regularly I seem to have an over-riding sense of calmness. At the very least they help you to feel relaxed very quickly. The audios I use are by Dr Jeffrey Thompson and those from the Equisync range and hence those are the ones I recommend. I like the fact that the Equisync audios are only about 20 minutes long which makes them a manageable length to fit into every day - Janine Lattimore
The Equisync website is well worth visiting simply for the wealth of information and research it contains about the benefits of brainwave stimulation and enhancement. Also, you can sign-up to be sent the regular coupon codes, and some of the price discounts are significant.
