Neuro-Calm
Ambient Rhythmic Entrainment for Learning, Exercising, and De-Stressing
Neuro-Calm is designed to quiet “mental noise” while keeping you in a relaxed state of alertness. It guides you into the mid-alpha state while gently stimulating the reticular activating system (RAS), your brain’s “wakefulness network.”
How the Brain Shift Series Works
The Strong Institute’s sound therapies are based on extensive testing of current brainwave entrainment principles, combined with traditional healing rhythms and musical instruments. Jeff Strong’s methods have been clinically demonstrated to be effective in the treatment of ADD/ADHD, autism, depression, chronic anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, and other disorders. The Brain Shift series makes available the Institute’s most popular acoustic therapy modalities to the general public.
How to Use
Brain Shift programs work best when played in an open-air setting rather than on headphones: on your home or office stereo, desktop or laptop computer, boom box, CD clock radio, iPod speaker dock, or on a portable music player with a built-in loudspeaker. If you use headphones, exercise special care: they block ambient sound and may provide more stimulation than you want!
1. Start the audio program. Once it begins, turn the volume all the way off.
2. Then slowly increase the volume until you can barely hear it. Adjust carefully: if the sound is too loud, you may experience agitation or sleeplessness.
3. When the volume is set properly, your brain will synchronize to the rhythms and produce a calm neurological state in the alpha range.
The first time you use Neuro-Calm, your brain will need time to adapt to its effects. So, first listen to the entire audio program at least once, as described above. After that, you can use individual tracks as needed. The benefits of this program will increase with repeated use.
