Genius Brain Power
There are
now quite a few meditation programs out there on the market,
and essentially they all do similar (if not the same)
things. Holosync
continues to be very popular - the company Centerpoint who are
behind it are arguably the leaders in this field.
When I say that each program essentially does similar things,
what I mean is that they all use special sounds to create
similar meditative states. Holosync uses binaural beat
technology and another popular program called Quantum Mind
Power, uses monaural and isochronic tones.
My Experience
With
Holosync you don't actually consciously hear the beats that are
putting you into a meditative state. I have to admit that although
I have never experienced any negative effects from any brain
entrainment product, it does un-nerve me slightly that you
can't hear the beats! In fact, there are some
people that actually believe Holosync could be
dangerous.
Personally, upon reading the various threads about dangerous
possibilities I find most of the information to be speculative
at best (I recommend you Google Holosync or send me an email
and I'll give you some links), personally I am quite happy
to still use the product.
Genius
Brain Power is comparatively different. It uses computer generated
rhythmically pulsed beats to put you into the meditative
state. The key
difference between Genius Brain Power and Holosync is that you
can actually hear the beats.
I'm
pleased to say that after doing many sessions of Genius Brain
Power I have not found these beats to be annoying, in fact, if
you focus on them you simply go deeper into
meditation.
I have
used previously used a Mind Machine and although I'm not an
expert on the technology behind it, I'm pretty sure the Mind
Machine uses sound pulses similar to those in the Genius Brain
Power program.
The good news is that I have actually found using Genius Brain
Power more pleasant then using a Mind Machine, probably because
of the very cool music and sounds. The fact that you do not need
to focus on the flashing lights that a Mind Machine
employs adds to a more comfortable experience.
Does Genius Brain Power actually work?
Using
this audio program, especially with the delta recording, I
have gone into very deep meditative states. Whether or not
I am actually increasing my IQ and getting smarter is hard to
tell. The program
claims that the pulsed tones actually cause your brain to
become smarter, but for me this is hard to prove, perhaps over
time I will gather more conclusive results.
My take
on this technology is that when we are in more relaxed states
we are able to function on a much higher level then if we are
stressed out with no way to release. Sure, that is not rocket
science, but the simple things are often the most
effective.
Recently
(and very often in my life), I have been working on some
pretty big projects and have not been getting as much sleep as
I normally would, also my energy levels are a bit low through
lack of exercise. This package turned up a
couple of months ago and since I have been using it I have felt
like I have had something to keep my mind clear and
defragmented if you like, I have been able to function well
despite having a schedule that is busier than it would normally
be.
What do you get?
There are
a total of 10 audio files. 8 of the recordings included
in the package are as follows:
42 minute
IQ increasing recording
This has
lovely classical music from Vivaldi, Bach, Handel, Mozart,
Pachelbel, Gluck and Mendelssohn. This is one of my favorites
because I love classical music and have been using it as a
relaxant for many years.
30 minute
alpha and 30 minute theta
You'll
hear energy expanding didgeridoo music, mixed with beautiful
sounds such as bird tweets and I'm sure I heard an owl in
there!
60 minute
beta relaxed focus and
concentration
This
recording as well as the 42 minute one can be used while you
are working or up and about. This also has classical
music. I like to use this while working on the
computer. I
normally keep it fairly quiet on my headphones, although it is
not normally distracting to what I am doing.
30 minute
and 60 minute theta
This
level corresponds to extreme relaxation, trance, deep
meditation, creativity and REM sleep. Also, at the theta frequency
your brain releases endorphins into the bloodstream, which make
you feel good and promotes healing.
30 minute
and 60 minute delta Ultra Deep
Standalone
The
deepest you can go, corresponding to dreamless sleep, growth
hormone release, healing and ultra deep
trance.
You also
get a handy online manual that has further information about
the process of using pulses to generate a meditative state, as
well as usage instructions to get the best out of the
program.
Genius Brain Power Pros
- At $88 this
is one of the cheaper programs out there, this may
actually put a few people off but the production
value is very good, and just as good as other
packages I have tried.
- There is a
180 day money back guarantee should you change your
mind
- You will be
able to achieve a refreshing and deep meditation,
or a relaxed but very alert positive focus, all the
recordings you'll need are included.
- Good
customer service with email support
Genius Brain Power Cons
- As
mentioned previously you do hear the sound pulses
and this may put some people off. However, I have
found that I either don't focus on them (if I am
working with the music playing) or, I do focus on
them (if I am lying down and using the music to
have a deep meditation) and this puts me into a
deeper more relaxing state.
-
You do not get the online course and access to a member
of coaching staff that you would get with the more
expensive Holosync program.
Overall in terms of effectiveness and value for money, I
give this 4.5/5!
