 Let your mind wander .. March 14, 2005

There is a scientific principle called entrainment. If two items are vibrating side by side at different speeds then the item that vibrates at the lower speed will adjust to vibrate at the same frequency as the other object.
Examples of this are swings in a playground that are swinging out of sync and adjust. Also, in a clock store you may notice the pendulum clocks of the same size swinging back and forth in unison.
Research has been done into the brainwaves of people in relaxed meditative states, such as yogis, swamis and creative people. Dr T has incorporated these brainwave patterns into his music to entrain your mind to reach the Theta state.
So, if you were to be subjected to these Theta waves which are embedded in the relaxing sounds, your mind will gradually reattune itself, so you can reach a similar state. This change is not permanent. Yet , the more you listen to it the more you will learn to attain these states yourself, effortlessly, and access a deeper part of self.
Dr Jeffrey Thompson has done extensive research into stress and the power of relaxing music and entrainment and has used that research to create pulses, chord patterns, sounds from nature such as sea, rainfall, bird songs, whales and dolphins. Sometimes these sounds are electronically changed to accelerate the mental response to get to the Theta state.
Theta is a state of mind associated with creativity, relaxation, and problem solving, and sleep. Have you ever been thinking about a problem and then you wake up in the middle of the night, with the solution, an aha moment. Well, you were probably in a Theta state. As you listen you may notice relaxing peaceful imagery flowing through your mind.
If you have never used this type of music before, don't you think you should give it a go. This program enables emotional clearing, problem solving, creative visualization, intuition and stress reduction, and insight. The accompanying booklet contains guided meditation and instruction to enhance the process.
If you are interested in this CD for emotional clearing, I highly recommend you look into EFT (emotional freedom technique) which is a simple and easy acupressure technique which can be done in about two minutes. Imagine easily letting go of phobias, stress, depression, trauma, forgiveness etc. You can download a free manual at emofree.com or buy various books on the subject at Amazon.
I highly recommend another of Dr T's products Awakened Mind system, which I find very good for creativity. You will be so glad to have that product.

 Very Effective! March 15, 2003

One of the other reviewers agreed that the CD was very effective, but concluded that Dr. Jeffrey Thompson was a "quack" because the reviewer didn't understand how stereo speakers could possibly reproduce the very low frequencies for Theta: 5-7 CPS. The problem is that the reviewer was ignorant of the technology used by Dr. Thompson, which is only briefly referred to in the materials. Dr. Thompson utilizes a technology similar to that of the Monroe Institute, who has called it "Hemi-synch". The concept is that sounds are played on both the left and right stereo channels, and are electronically modified so that they are out of synch by the frequency you are trying to achieve in the brain...6 CPS, for example, if you want Theta brainwaves. This accomplishes two things: 1. It synchronizes the two hemispheres of the brain (a very good thing) and 2. It generates a 6 CPS pulse, which tends to entrain the brainwaves to that same frequency. This is a very, very effective technique, as is demonstrated by the effectiveness of the Theta Meditation System. I highly recommend these CDs for people who wish to attain the Theta state for relaxation or for personal metaphysical exploration. This is a proven technology, and far more effective than simple "New Age" relaxation music, since this technology directly drives the brain to create the frequencies desired.
My Favorite Meditation CD November 2, 2000

I've been looking for background music for my meditation sessions for awhile. I have found that this CD leaves me relaxed, but not to a point that I want go to bed after the session. The sound on the recordings is really incredible and very "3D-like". Although the instruction booklet states that one can use normal speakers, I personally use headphones because the 3D effects tend to have a more profound effect on me. The booklet (around 6 pages) also gives information on the "idea" behind the technology used on the recordings, as well as information on each "song". The booklet states that the first CD (Renewal) helps in visualization, problem solving and emotional clearing, while the second CD (Insight) is for a "deeper" meditation for gaining information, wisdom, intuition, and healing. Each song on the CD is 30 minutes long and was made to play in repeat mode if needed. The great thing about this CD is that you can use any meditation or visualization exercises that you currently use. I have also found that I get better results in my sessions when I play this CD, rather than without it. Highly Recommended!
 This meditation system makes some strange claims. March 3, 2003

First off, these are some very relaxing cds. Got them as a gift, and i'm very happy with the gift, suited me perfectly. I don't relax well, think too much, etc.If you're like me, and think too much, don't read the booklet that comes with the cds. They make some strage and false claims. The most bizzare and glaringly false claim is that, "These recordings also use a nature sound not found anywhere else. In 1989 Dr. Thompson received from NASA recordings of space sounds taken from the Voyager spacecraft as it passed the outer planets of our solar system--Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune." Well, I'm sure Voyager was recording plenty of stuff, but they sure weren't "sounds". Hollywood movies aside, there is no sound in outer space. There is no air in outer space, so there are no sounds to be recorded. Perhaps Dr. Thompson did receive sound recordings from Voyager, but you don't need a cd to hear silence. The second odd claim is that, "Research has shown that theta states of mind can be induced through hearing sound pulses that match the speed of theta brainwaves (8-3.5 Hz). Using this scientifically tested principle, Dr. Thompson has built special theta frequency pulses into every sound track." First off, no humans can hear sounds below 20 Hz, most ears don't even hear that low. So, even if these sounds are on the cds, you aren't hearing them. But, maybe they aren't there to be heard but instead act on your body, like the loud thundering at race car track that you feel vibrating your insides. Perhaps, but you don't have speakers that can produce sounds that low. Even most high-end sub-woofers don't go below 30hz. Some of the huge monsters in movie theaters can get down to 15-20 Hz, but unless you spent 50k on you home theater system, your speakers don't get that low. Not saying the sounds aren't encoded on the cd, but your speakers aren't reproducing them. And if you know of speakers that make sounds as low as 3.5-8 Hz, i'm impressed. That said, very chill cds. But obviously false claims like these sorta make me think this Dr. Thompson is a quack.

These CD's set a new standard for meditation accompaniment. The quality of the recording technology is outstanding. It is like IMAX cinema for the head and ears: real 3D; full 360 degrees, not just divided between 2 directions. Several of my favorite passages feel like gentle mental negative G's, where you are conscious of free falling deeper and deeper into the mind. Overall, the melodic content is fairly restrained (a good thing), mostly leading into a symphony of incredible sounds that you experience rather than listen to. If Dr. Thompson decides to make more recordings of this nature, I'll have to buy every one of them.
