Tap into the power of meditation with this 5CD set created by James Wild. Includes a CD with fascinating information on meditation and the Brainwave states. Each of the 4 metronome CDs is one long continuous metronome sound at the noted frequencies for aiding meditation and perception enhancement. Using the frequency following response the recordings help align your brainwave activity to the metronome enabling you to access the various states. This is called brainwave entrainment. The benefits are numerous and noted below. The sound is rounded and unobtrusive. When meditating with the metronome it is important to stay as alert as possible ? focus your intention. Note that with practice you will find yourself more adept at slipping into the various states. For some it will happen right away. With others it may take several weeks.

The Theta metronome has been widely used by Stuart Wilde in his meditations. You can dedicate your meditation to a creative aspect of your life and watch the scenes in your mind and feelings unfold.
