An important new Meditation CD.
For deeper, more powerful meditation than you could have imagined
The Meditate NOW CD
Dear Mental Health Professional,
You have been hearing about how Meditation has suddenly gone mainstream. Time, Newsweek, all the Health magazines have run recent articles on the benefits of meditating. Through the use of electroencephalographs (EEGs) we know that the brain responds to meditation. Now, you can meditate deeply with no training. Keep reading.
You can meditate even if you don’t think you have the time or money. It is amazingly easy to meditate by using my new CD. The benefits can accrue rapidly from just 20 to 25 minutes twice daily. Studies show drops in blood pressure and many other indicators of the reversal of damage caused by stress. Try it RISK-FREE! Spread the joy to your clients by copying and handing out the CD in your practice (See the license included with your copy).
Dr. Dan Opdyke here. Let me tell you about this CD I have developed. It is not a soothing soundscape or audio wallpaper. This is a highly technical achievement in sound science called “Binaural Beats.” Binaural Beats are the result of slightly different tones presented simultaneously to each ear via headphones. It’s the difference that makes the difference, however. The difference in the tones is carefully calibrated to the same wavelengths as your brain waves. When your brain hears the two differing tones, it creates a third tone – one that is not even on the CD! This third tone creation process is done by your brain, and in so doing you are creating specific brainwaves. This was actually discovered in 1839 by H. W. Dove.
In addition to the tones embedded in the CD, I have added sweeping bilateral (left-right) panning effects to alternately stimulate your brain’s hemispheres (a technique I call BLAST or BiLateral Audio STimulation). What better way to open up that Corpus Callosum?
The science behind this is fascinating. The barely audible tones on the CD do the work for you. The rest is background ambient sound or pink noise which may also soothe you. The pure tones are hard to tolerate when presented alone, so the backgrounds are pretty much required. Don’t mistake this for music. It’s way different. Your brain passively follows at first and then actively resonates to the difference in the tones. Suffice to say all you have to do is listen and you can benefit from the same brainwave patterns that take meditators years to achieve.
I have been meditating since 1973 (TM) and have gotten to where I can deeply relax my mind in a matter of seconds via the use of my mantra and the Transcendental Meditation ™ technique. With this CD you need none of that. In fact, I get the same effect listening as I do when I use TM. I actually prefer the CD now and have been listening and tweaking the CD for the last year.
This CD will work almost immediately. There is no learning curve. Give it ten minutes and just notice. No mantra, no counting breaths, no far out philosophy. Just listen.
Theta Drop (Track 1) will drop you into Theta waves which are deeper than the Alpha waves most relaxation programs aspire to. Theta may feel strange at first and even shift your consciousness such that you become concerned. Don’t worry. The CD is safe. Just don’t listen to it while driving or doing anything that requires your attention!
Pure Theta is Track 2; functionally the same as Track 1 but without any musical elements. The background is a Ganzfeld (homogeneous stimulus field) of pink noise, brown noise, and nature sounds (waterfall, rain, brook). The BLAST effect is used.
Delta Dreams is Track 3. Delta waves are found in deep dreamless sleep. Ironic name, I know. Delta waves are also found in the EEG readings of some Yogis who are proficient meditators. This one may put you to sleep. If you are not needing sleep, it should function as a very powerful meditation. I wake up at 5 am and listen to Delta Dreams. It's like getting 2 extra hours of sleep! Delta Dreams can feel weird so if you have never meditated, save Delta Dreams until you have meditated for a few months.
Now for some Q and A:
Q. You say Headphones are required. Why?
A. The frequencies are presented to each ear via headphones and your brain tries to make sense of the difference. That is the key to the effectiveness. Without headphones the difference would get lost. You could position speakers equally on either side of your head if you prefer, but headphones really seem to work best.
Q. Is there a manual or instructions with the CD?
A.Yes. A sheet of paper is included and that's all that is required to get the information you need to meditate deeply. Much of what is on that sheet you just read here.
Q. Why are you selling them so cheaply? I see similar items for 30-50 dollars on the net.
A. I do not mass produce these. The CD is professionally mastered and burned to high quality CD-Rs by myself using professional quality software. There is no real difference from factory CDs except that you save many dollars. Those Ads at the top of this page are for very expensive CDs and complicated programs that will cost you lots of money. The technology is no different than what I use. You are paying for their slick marketing. Check them out and then come back to my site to get a terrific deal.
Q. Is there anything unique or special about your CD?
A. The CD is unique because I use pure tones separated at one specific interval in order to keep you "entrained" to the desired brainwave. Other CD's mix up tones, add music, add guided imagery, etc. only distracting from the experience (in my opinion). I also use bilateral stimulation which I have not seen on other CDs.
Q. Can the CD be used for EMDR processing?
A. I wouldn't. I have practiced EMDR since 1993 and I can tell you that I would not use the CD during EMDR. I WOULD have select clients use it between sessions. Use your clinical judgement.
Q. Does it really work as you've said on novice meditators?
A. The CD works. No experience needed. You have to be in a quiet place (uninterrupted) and use headphones. It is subtle, yet powerful. I will refund your money if it doesn't work for you.
Q. What about empirical data on meditation?
A. There have been over 600 hundred studies since the 1970's and the best controlled ones are on Transcendental Meditation. I notice no difference between TM and the effects of my CD. Get Googling and check the research. Please note I am not saying my CD has been empirically tested.
Q. Can the CD be used for all my clients or just the healthier ones?
A. I wouldn't recommend using the CD with people who are psychotic, dissociative, have panic disorder, or have had seizures. You will have to use your clinical judgement.
