Meditation is a relaxation technique that has been around for thousands of years. While it has been more formalized as a spiritual discipline in the East, in recent years thousands of people have been using it in the West as a method to reduce stress levels and maintain mental focus. Meditation is a focused contemplation and relaxation of the mind and body that promotes inner awareness and reduces stress. While many people do use meditation as part of their religious practices and prayers, it can be used without any mystical attachment as yet another tool in the arsenal against stress.
Meditation is being increasingly used hand-in-hand with Western medicine to alleviate pain, reduce stress, and for its psychological benefits. Practitioners of meditation often ascribe massive benefits to the practice, including a healthier emotional life, ability to deal with everyday stress, and a deeper mind/body connection. Breath control is a huge part of meditation and as such meditation has been shown to produce lasting benefits for asthmatics or anyone else who suffers from a respiratory illness. Western doctors are beginning to advise patients with respiratory issues to follow a regular course of meditation with breath control exercises. In essence, meditation can help those who have trouble breathing to re-learn how to breathe properly.
Guided Imagery is the process of using your imagination to help you mind & body learn, heal, or perform well. It is like a focused daydream, a purposeful directed creation of images, sights, sounds smells, tastes and feels, all in your imagination.
Those who are just getting into the practice of meditation often find it easier to use the assistance of a teacher or audio recordings in order to follow along to something during the course of a meditation. Simply performing one hour of guided meditation per week can have huge effects on your breath control, fitness level, and general emotional wellbeing.
In a way, yes. Self Hypnosis is a set of verbal suggestions and thoughts without the mental images. Guided imagery is verbal suggestion along with the mental ”picture“ of corresponding sights, sounds and feelings. It’s the difference of telling yourself you are happy and feeling you are happy.
Guided Imagery is a form of Meditation, but different. Meditation usually involves a specific narrow focus to clear the mind, slow down all thought and focuses on use of the breath as the pathway toward a spiritual and psychological goal of a harmonious attitude toward life. Guided Imagery uses internal sensory images deliberately invoked to assist with something fairly specific, problem ailment or dilemma.
Brainwave Entrainment was first discovered and used in the late 1800’s. Brain Entrainment is the science of using audio frequency that mimics the brain natural frequency rhythms to aid in relaxation, sleep, healing and creative pursuits. It is now experiencing a popular resurgence among neurologists and mental health professionals as an effective healing and learning modality.
Scientific studies have concluded some remarkable facts about brainwave entrainment. Findings to date suggest that brainwave entrainment can be an effective therapeutic tool for people suffering from cognitive functioning deficits, stress, pain, headache/migraines, PMS, and behavioral problems. Through scientific research it has been learned that different bands of brainwaves are associated with different mental states. Our products are a progressive form of music therapy specifically designed to be calming, soothing and to strengthen the body, mind and soul.
NovoRefresh utilizes brainwave entrainment technology in some of our digital products to help you achieve the same mental states as are experienced during meditation.
Brainwave entrainment uses these carefully applied sounds known as binaural beats, monaural beats, isochronic tones and harmonic box x. In our digital recordings we use soothing ambient music embedded with harmonic box x (harmonic box x is a combination of binaural beats and monaural beats). Music that incorporates harmonic box x may greatly assist listeners to achieve a wide variety of goals, such as more effective meditation, dramatically improved sleep, heightened creativity, superior focus and a variety of other improved states of mind.
We have produced remarkably potent and powerful products for effectively calming the mind, soothing the emotions, relaxing the body, and quite literally, freeing the soul.
Through listening to our digital recordings your brainwaves may be stimulated to specific brainwave levels; results will be heightened with the use of headphones. The incorporation of brainwave entrainment may create brainwave levels that are conducive to giving you improved energy and focus, creativity, relaxation, deep inner peace, calmness, reduction in overall stress levels and even heightened intelligence, improved memory and mental clarity.
