How Light Sound Machines work:

It generate precisely timed patterns of modulated sound and light which can gently lead your mind into a variety of interesting and beneficial states of consciousness.

With special light-bearing sunglasses over your closed eyes and headphones over your ears, you are immersed in colorful dancing geometric patterns and entrancing sounds. The light and sound pulse rate shifts from state to state as the session progresses; mental activity will follow the pulse rate of the machine.

Do you remember the Miami Sound Machine with Gloria Estefan in the 1980s? Most people danced to these rhythms and gave helped the group rise to the top. When I was thinking about them the other day in relation to writing this article, I thought about the fact that there are people who have problems with sleep and may need the use of a sleep relaxation sound machine.

A sleep relaxation sound machine helps people sleep by creating a certain rhythm or soothing sounds that are already programmed into the machine and you can set the ones that you want or have them choose randomly what you want to hear. You can create the atmosphere that helps you sleep best.

As an example, some of them have sounds that you hear in nature. This might include the sound of the ocean, a summer night or crickets. If you like these sounds then the sleep relaxation sound machine with these sounds could put you right to sleep; don’t do this one though if any of these sounds frighten or irritate you.

Some of these machines like the HoMedics SS-2000 Sound Spa Relaxation Sound Machine has natural sounds and then adds the heartbeat. Supposedly a universal sound is the heartbeat because it reminds us of our time spent in the womb.

Many of these machines give sounds like drums, flutes or other natural musical sounds that are soothing to the ear. There is also a type of device that gives you white noise which means it is one continuous sound. As an example, this sound could be just of air rising and falling in a continuous sound.

The white noise sleep relaxation sound machine are supposed to be able to blank out street noises, appliances, barking dogs, your significant other’s snores and much more. Many people find that these devices can help them when they have bouts of insomnia especially from something in the environment.

There are also really cool sleep relaxation sound machine that include light and sound. You can purchase sound machines in a variety of places including Amazon and many places on the Internet. If you do a search for “sleep relaxation sound machine”, you will find a variety of these machines to choose from.

Stress relief, superlearning, heightened focused concentration, creativity, superlearning, easy changework, instant Samadhi. These are goals that can be reached if you use a Light and Sound Machine. Sometimes called a Brain Machine or Audio and Visual Stimulation (AVS), these devices allow the user to reach states of being in a controlled way. Neurologists have studied the brain since the late 1800′s seeking ways to help people with brain injuries and learning dysfunctions. Recent discoveries have reached the general population. If something can help a subject with a learning disability or brain injury, what could it do for a “normal” person? The brain has 100 billion neurons generating and transmitting electrical signals. These signals can be detected by devices called EEG machines (electroencephalograph) One of the big discoveries was the correlation of brain waves to states of being.

Stress, alertness, relaxation, mediation, and sleep have been shown to match particular wave patterns. Neurologists have given these brain wave patterns names taken from the ancient Greek Alphabet. Typical alert behavior registers at 30 or more hertz (cycles per second). Alpha state is a condition that is easily achieved by closing the eyes and relaxing. 7-13hz is the range for the Alpha condition. Sleep is the lowest frequency at 0.5 to 3hrz. The most difficult state to achieve and maintain is the in-between state of Theta (3-7hz). It is the state found in the brains of meditation masters. Many students of meditation work for years to reach the Theta state reliably and consistently. Either the mind wanders off into some train of thought or it falls asleep. What if there was a way to quick and easy way to learn how to meditate? In the late 50′s a radio broadcaster named Robert Monroe was experimenting with sound tones for super-learning. He discovered that sound frequencies created certain effects in the brain. When two different frequencies are played in both ears the brain will resonate at the vibration that is the difference between the two tones. If one tone is played in the left ear at 110hz and 100 is played in the right ear the brain waves will resonate at 10hz, which is the same as Alpha Waves. The same effect is triggered by flashing or flickering light.

That is why looking at a campfire is so relaxing. The flames just happen to flicker at the alpha rate. He coined the term Frequency Following Response (FFR). Light and Sound Machines are devices that bring that experience from the lab into your home for a fraction of the cost. Typically they consist of a controller, stereo headphones and lightglasses. The controller is a computer that creates the light and sound sessions. There is a user interface for selection of time, and the combination of desired frequencies or brain states. They can be selected manually, or a pre-programmed session can be picked. Headphones provide the sound with high quality comfort. The lightglasses are like opaque sunglasses with two or more LED lights positioned over the eyelids.

Here are some features that can be found in superior brain machines:
o Rechargeable batteries – nothing worse than a blissful L&S session cut short due to dead batteries.
o Input jack – add music or hypnosis recordings to the sessions
o Programmability – custom design your own sessions.
o Two or more output jacks – share the experience
o Ramp up ramp down – a gentle beginning and end
o Download sessions via computer – add to your collection
o Color choice – red, green or yellow -what is your preference?
o Carry case or bag – safely store and transport
o Ongoing customer support – what happens when you have a question or problem? My personal experience with brain machines started in the late eighties.

I discovered the book Megabrain by Michael Hutchison. He described various technologies for accessing and enhancing brain states such as brain machines, float tanks, nutrition, and electro-stimulation. I purchased a basic AVS unit from a direct mail advertisement and began to use it regularly. I experienced some sublime peak experiences using it along with meditation tapes. The system I am using now is called Nova Pro by Photosonix. I have used it for approximately ten years. It is a real workhorse and creates beautiful experiences for me. The only trouble I have had is with the headphones.

They had to be replaced after the phone cord got sucked into a vacuum cleaner. Totally my fault, but easy enough to go to any department store and pick up a new set of headphones. So, where do you get a Light and Sound Machine? There are a number of manufacturers and even more distributors for them. I have discovered that there is a cost savings by going directly to the manufacture if you can. That is why I picked the Photosonix unit. I got a great price for it. I am still using it after all this time. Ebay is a good source for a great bargain on an L&S machine. Some are sold brand new, others are used and at a remarkable savings. Amazon is an excellent source. They carry the book Megabrain and Light and Sound Machines.
