The frequencies of the energy radiated by our brains are higher when we are stimulated and lower when we feel safe and relaxed. Oddly, these brainwave frequencies synchronize with any regular stimulus whether highway guard rail posts moving past us as we drive, the pulsations of a fire, strobe lights or repetitive sounds. This is called brain entrainment.
When two tones with slightly different frequencies are heard in stereo headphones, the brain entrains to the slight difference. Brainwaves slow down and altered states of deep relaxation naturally expand our awareness.
