The Meditation Hack That Saves You 70,000 Hours

“Exploring the brainwave hack that turns you into a Zen monk – in minutes.” By Karl Moore

We’ve all heard about the powerful benefits of meditation: Less stress, greater relaxation, sharper thinking, improved memory, enhanced creativity, and more. Yet how many of us have experienced this for ourselves?

Meditation holds some amazing benefits for those that practice it routinely. Since the 1970s, there have been over 3000 scientific studies at over 200 independent universities, all validating the life-changing gains of regular meditation.

The problem is that reaching the states that bring about such powerful benefits takes time. You need to invest hours in weekly practice. Months of training as you learn to slowly quieten the mind, suppress the itching, and slowly progress into deeper and deeper states of meditation. But what if there was a ‘hack’ you could use to quickly achieve those deep, profound states – all within just minutes?

Science has the answer. Brainwaves: The Signatures of Your Mind Let’s briefly look at the science. Your brain consists of 100 billion brain cells, and each of those cells talk to each other using little spikes of electricity. The overall pattern of this activity can be measured using an electroencephalography (EEG) machine. This overall pattern is represented as a “frequency”, and that frequency can be thought of as a signature for your state of mind.

We have different names for each frequency range: beta, delta, and alpha, for example. Right now, you’re alert and conscious, and so you’re most likely operating in the beta range of 12-30 Hz. (Hertz, meaning cycles per second.) When you’re asleep at night, you’re in the delta range of 0-4Hz. We also know the exact meditation ‘signature’ frequencies too.

By observing Zen monks in practice, we can see that the more advanced the meditation, the deeper the brainwave frequencies, while you remain awake and conscious.

So: The more advanced the meditation, the deeper the brainwave frequencies, and the greater the benefits in your life. The problem is that it can take years to train yourself to access those deeper states of meditation. You either find it too difficult to quieten your mind, or find yourself dropping off to sleep. And that’s where brainwave entrainment comes into play.

100 Years of Brainwave Entrainment Research Brainwave entrainment is an area of science that has been heavily researched over the past 100 years. And it provides the key to improving your meditation results, quicker than you ever thought possible.

Let’s consider how it works. Imagine striking a tuning fork, and holding another tuning fork next to it. What happens? The second tuning fork starts vibrating at the same frequency as the first. The same thing happens with the brain. It plays “follow the leader.” If you expose it to a particular frequency, the brain follows and copies that frequency.

This is a phenomenon in science known as brainwave entrainment. Now, this is where it all gets really clever. Remember, we know the frequencies associated with super-deep meditation. And we know that the brain follows frequencies when exposed to them. So, we create a form of stimulation that incorporates those frequencies, and expose it to the brain.

Typically this is done through a simple audio file (such as an MP3), using isochronic tones or binaural beats to deliver the frequency. By listening to this audio file, the brain quickly copies the frequency, and takes you down into a deep state of meditation – effortlessly. No struggling. No difficulty quietening your thoughts. Just speedy access to those deeper states of consciousness, on-demand.

By listening, you get the immediate benefit of enhanced relaxation, and the dissolution of stress, anxiety and worry. Over time, the greater benefits become clear: sharper brain power, improved focus, decreased insomnia, enhanced creativity, dozens of huge health benefits, and more. And all because of a simple MP3!

Using the Ultimate Brain Hack Brainwave entrainment isn’t a myth. It’s an area of science that can help dramatically improve your life. In fact, we estimate that it can save you 70,000 hours of meditative practice over the course of your lifetime.

So, do your research. Find a brainwave meditation program with a good reputation, and give it a month to see how it enhances your life. Or learn more about the science, and try to create your own. For me, without a doubt, brainwave entrainment is perhaps the ultimate brain hack. It can save you 70,000 hours and improve your life in ways you’d never imagine. And now you know more about it, maybe it’s time to try it out for yourself.

Brain Salon

My Review of the Brain Salon

Changing your state of mind at the click of a Button

Imagine changing your state of mind – with the simple click of a button.

Get focused. Become happier. Even fall asleep. Just by clicking “Play.”

That’s what the producers of a new brainwave program are claiming. Merely slip on your headphones, listen to a little enticing audio, and watch your mental state shift – all within minutes.

Sounds like something from a science fiction movie?

Definitely. And that’s why I absolutely had to check it out.

Exploring the Brain Salon

When I first heard about the Brain Salon, it captured my attention instantly.

Who could resist being able to control how they feel – just by listening to a little audio?

The Brain Salon contains six 30-minute audio sessions, each of which claim to bring about a specific state of mind.

Inside the Brain Salon box, you’ll find CDs containing sessions for creativity, deep sleep, energy, focus, relaxation – there’s even a session for boosting your happiness levels.

All you have to do is slip on your headphones, play the session for you – and watch your state change, on-demand. At least, that’s what the bright orange CD sleeve said.

So, I decided to give it a go.

Delving into ‘The Zone’

Now, we’ve all been in The Zone at some point before.

That great place where everything just flows, where our thoughts are sharp as a pin, and we perform at our absolute peak.

Well, ‘Razor Sharp’ is one of the Brain Salon sessions that promises to recreate that state. But would it really affect my concentration?

Absent-minded, I played the session using headphones, while checking my morning e-mail.

The euphoric sounds and vibration-style noises initially sounded a little strange, but I soon began enjoying the experience.

Then, almost before I realized, the 30-minute session was over – and, wow, my inbox was clear. That’s a process which usually takes me at least a couple of hours or so each morning.

As I took off the headphones, I also noticed that my mind was completely free of its usual “brain fog” – and that the clarity of my thinking was way above my regular Friday morning standard.

The improvement in my acuity was highly noticeable, and the effects lasted through much of the day. As an experiment, I skipped a day, then repeated the experiment – and once again experienced the same results.

There could be no doubt about it. The ‘Razor Sharp’ session absolutely put me into a state of total clarity, taking me straight from morning drudge to The Zone in a matter of minutes.

That’s when I really got interested.

The World of ‘Brainwave Entrainment’

I don’t know about you, but “how stuff works” really interests me.

And being a pretty logical person, I was intensely curious as to how something like the Brain Salon could really backup its claims.

So I went to learn more, and discovered that it’s all down to a science known as “brainwave entrainment.”

I’ve spent a lot of time researching this area, and there’s a really useful explanation of the science on the Brain Salon website – but, just for you, here are the essentials.

Every state of mind has a unique electrical signature that can be detected in the brain. These signatures are known as “brainwaves.”

Using specialized equipment, such as an EEG machine, these waves can be measured and recorded. That allows scientists to map what brainwave patterns are present during certain states of mind. (Deep sleep, for example.)

The Brain Salon sessions use special inaudible pulses, mixed into the music, to recreate these brainwave patterns. When you play such audio, the brain ‘copies’ these patterns and recreates those states of mind.

States of mind such as creativity, relaxation, and deep sleep!

It’s completely safe, backed by over 75 years of brainwave research – and absolutely, unbelievably amazing.

No question about it. I was hooked.

Beyond Basics: Exploring the Sessions

After experimenting with ‘Razor Focus’, I decided to explore the rest of the Brain Salon series – with interesting results.

Being a troubled sleeper, I decided to check out ‘Ultra Deep Sleep’ one night.

I just hit play while lying in my bed, and allowed myself to get soaked up by the deep, etheric, pulsating sounds.

In no time at all, I’d fallen asleep. And not just any sleep, but perhaps one of the deepest, undisturbed, most relaxing sleeps I’ve ever experienced.

The user manual isn’t joking when it claims “you’ll probably never hear the end of this session.”

The other sessions proved even more enjoyable.

I used “Happy Pill” one evening prior to a night out to dig myself out of a bad mood, and get myself feeling peppy for the party night ahead. It worked wonders. I was the life of the party, flowing with charisma and in the greatest of moods.

“On absolute top form,” according to one close friend.

And it doesn’t stop there.

I’ve also used “High Energy Espresso” to really give me a total burst of energy, just before a big day, a gym workout, or anything requiring big time stamina.

And “Creative Spark” – which I’ve already used to triple the number of business ideas I produce each week. Oh, and “Power Chill” too – the ideal replacement for a glass of wine after work. It helps you to relax, chill out, and recharge those batteries for the evening ahead.

Conclusion

When the orange Brain Salon box fell onto my doorstep, I couldn’t have imagined the impact it would have on my life.

Who would’ve thought three simple CDs could do so much?

Happiness. Creativity. Deep sleep. Energy. Focus. Relaxation. All in one little box. And all you have to do is hit the “Play” button to activate.

Arthur C. Clarke said that “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”

This is that advanced technology. And for me, it really does work like magic.

Does this sound like something from a science fiction movie? Yes.

But does it work? Definitely.

Rating: 10/10

Pros: It works! Powerful. Portable. Sessions for each major mind state.

Cons: Need 30 minutes to listen to each session. Headphones recommended for some sessions.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid: The Fountain of Youth?

What is Hyaluronic Acid?

Hyaluronic acid (also called Hyaluronan, or HA) is a component of connective tissue whose function is to cushion and lubricate. Hyaluronan occurs throughout the body in abundant amounts in many of the places people with hereditary connective tissue disorders have problems such as joints, heart valves and eyes. Hyaluronic acid abnormalities are a common thread in connective tissue disorders. Interestingly, they are also common biochemical anomalies in most of the individual features of connective tissue disorders such as mitral valve prolapse, TMJ, osteoarthritis, and keratoconus.

The Importance of Hyaluronic Acid (Hyaluronan, HA)

Hyaluronic Acid is present in every tissue of the body. Retention of water is one of the most important biological functions of hyaluronic acid, second only to providing nutrients and removing waste from cells that do not have a direct blood supply, such as cartilage cells. With a lower than adequate amount of hyaluronic acid, nutrients cannot be moved into these cells and waste cannot be eliminated from cells. Hyaluronic acid is sometimes abbreviated as HA. Hyaluronic acid is found in the synovial joint fluid, the vitreous humor of the eye, the cartilage, blood vessels, extracellular matrix, skin and the umbilical cord.

Hyaluronic Acid ; “The Key To The Fountain of Youth”

Hyaluronic acid has been nicknamed by the press as the “key to the fountain of youth” because it has been noted that at least some people who ingest a lot of Hyaluronan in their diets tend to live to ripe old ages. ABC News had a show on a village in Japan and hyaluronic acid entitled, “The Village of Long Life: Could Hyaluronic Acid Be an Anti-Aging Remedy?”

Hyaluronic acid for use by humans has been derived from rooster combs. Rooster combs provide the purest form of hyaluronic acid (Hyalurinan, HA) available.

Benefits
  •  Hyaluronic acid moisturizes skin from the inside out, smoothing out wrinkles in the process
  •  Hyaluronic acid helps people who need to ease the flexing of their joints, especially their knees, by restoring cushioning to their joints
  •  Hyaluronic acid is suitable for men and women in their 30s and 40s who are beginning to see the first signs of aging
  •  Hyaluronic acid is suitable for seniors who have established joint conditions

Reclaim Your Longevity

How To Live Forever – Well Almost!

It would be great, wouldn’t it? Being able to live forever?
 
Knowing that no matter how long it takes for the next greatest discovery to be made by mankind you’d be around to experience the wonder of it?
 
Suppose for example you’d been born just 150 years ago. What do you think the high points of your life might be?
 
Sure there would be the first kiss and all the unique personal experiences that no one else can fully share that we’ll remember until the day we die.
 
But then there are the sharable moments too. The ones that we can all experience together. The discoveries that remind us that we belong to an incredible species that has scarcely begun its ages of exploration and discovery.
 
Imagine being able to take a walk through the 1893 World Fair at night and see the newly invented Tesla alternating current power sources declaring their imminent victory in the race to light the world.
 
Imagine being able to attend the first “air shows” where eccentric but visionary inventors forced their flying machines off the ground in a risky but glory-promising bid to finally attain manned flight.
 
Imagine being alive when newspapers sounded the amazing triumph of an unknown scientist named Einstein who had correctly predicted the crazy ability of the sun to bend rays of starlight in a universe that warped and buckled because, as it turns out, mass and energy are equivalent and space and time are different manifestations of the very same thing.
 
Maybe you were alive when Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon and became the first man to walk on another world…
 
Wouldn’t you like to be alive when the next one is Mars? When we finally bridge the gap between planets for the first time?
 
I know Carolyn Hansen would. She is a health and fitness professional who thinks a lot about what it takes to get the most out of a life span. Your life span, if she has any say in the matter.
 
Carolyn recently came out with a new product she calls “Reclaim Your Longevity” and to help you get an idea of what it is about, and how it can benefit you, she is giving away an ebook of hers called “Switch Off The Aging Process Within You“.
 
So if you’re at all concerned with where you want to be 30 years from now, 40 years from now, or longer, I highly recommend checking out the book. It’s free right now for people who don’t need to be sold on the idea that living as long as you possibly can might not be such a bad idea if you can swing it:
 
 
And hey, if Mars isn’t your thing… Wouldn’t you at least want to stick around until they’ve introduced that flying car you always see in the old sci-fi movies?
 
That’s what I’m holding out for. That and non-fattening donuts.
 
If you want to put the aging process ON ICE – at least until we are in a position to exploit the developing SCIENCE OF LONGEVITY and seriously extend our life span then I urge you to take a look at “Switch Off The Aging Process Within You“ you’ll be glad you did

 

Reduce Your Disease Risk

How To Reduce Your Disease Risk By An Astonishing 80 Percent

Is it really possible to live a disease-free life?
 
According to health and fitness professional Carolyn Hansen the answer is “most definitely”.
 
She says that long term studies have proven that you can rid yourself of up to 80 percent of the disease risk that plagues many people and ends up cutting their life unnecessarily short.
 
By decades, in some cases.
 
I am sure I don’t have to point out the benefits of being able to live a life free of the risk of disease.
 
Of course that’s not what she’s claiming here. Just the ability to reduce your risk to one fifth of what it otherwise might be.
 
But just to play Devil’s Advocate, what ARE the benefits of being able to lower your risk by such a large amount?
 
For one thing, your life duration expectation goes way up.
 
Instead of sticking around for just 70-80 years, maybe now you get to live to see your 100th birthday.
 
Even better than that – you get to live out the later years of your life without having to deal with the slow torture that failing organs inflict on the disease-ridden.
 
Kidney disease is no fun. Nor is pancreatic, throat, lung, bowel or skin cancer.
 
Even plain old diabetes can completely hobble you and cause the slow shutdown of organs and the necessity to rid yourself of the furthest extremities in a bid to just keep going…
 
No. Disease, if it can be avoided MUST be avoided if you are presented with any reasonable course of action that would allow it.
 
So what’s the secret?
 
What do you need to do to wipe the slate and regain the years that disease may get preparing to rob from you even as you read this page?
 
Carolyn says that by adopting just FOUR simple lifestyle habits you can eliminate 80 percent of the risk for the BIG diseases, the ones that claim the lives of millions every year and swell the ledgers of the “prematurely deceased”.
 
What are those magical four habits?
 
Well, you’ll need to read her ebook “Reduce Your Disease Risk By An Astonishing 80 Percent” to get the answers.
 
But the good news is that it is free:
 
 
Better still, it turns out that those habits are nothing outlandish at all. In fact you may be doing at least one of them already. But it’s missing out on the benefits of the other three that might end up killing you.
 
And that’s why I recommend you go read the book now. That and the fact that I’ve always wanted to be able to say “Go read this book now. It may just save your life…” and actually have it be true. In this case, it is!
