HoloThink Review: It’s not WHAT You Think, It’s HOW You Think
Written by ama on December 10th, 2009 in Health.
In the last decade, brain science has taken huge leaps forward, and now many researchers believe that our mental and physical health is affected by certain sound frequencies. The science of how sound waves affect the brain is known as “neurotechnology,” “entrainment,” and “Binaural Effect,” and it is being used for everything from diagnosing illnesses to fighting phobias, anxiety and panic disorder. This is the premise behind HoloThink, which is an audio program that can help you if you will only listen to it. Yes, that’s correct – by simply listening.
Not Just for Spas
There is constant electrical activity going on between your ears and your brain, which is why subliminal messages (those that you cannot hear, but that your brain absorbs anyway) work. Sure, it may sound like Twilight Zone hocus-pocus, but it’s more than that. What do you think the medical tests known as “EEGs” measure? ‘EEG’ stands for electroencephalography – note the “electro” in the prefix. Audio-therapy has gone beyond just being used in hospital step-down units, and is not being incorporated into recovery efforts for major illnesses, surgeries and trauma. During therapy, many rehabilitation facilities are using relaxation audio for therapy.
Built-in speakers in specially designed sound tables are just one way that scientists and medical professionals have taken this to the next level.
These days, for chronic pain management, a patient can lie on the table, listen to certain sound frequencies combined with music , and eliminate the need for the classic form of pain management that includes anesthesiologist-managed shots of cortisone, steroids and other drugs. (What an incredible alternative to being poked repeatedly with needles!)
The fact that this is an accepted science is further evidenced by the coming together in August 2008, of musicians from the Cleveland Orchestra and the researchers and doctors of the Cleveland Clinic, where they continue to study how music affects our brains. Music can affect us profoundly (think about how some folks cry during an opera), which is why it makes absolute sense to apply the same theory to overcoming panic disorder and anxiety. That is precisely what HoloThink does.
Understanding the Program
A sixty-minute audio file that imparts tranquility to the listener is what HoloThink is made up of. Even if you are not one for classical music or popular “spa music”; even if you prefer rap to country, and rock and roll to the blues, you can listen to this stuff. If you don’t think you can, give the ten-minute free trial a spin and see how refreshed you feel after listening. The HoloThink audio files can be downloaded immediately, and they work immediately. This is a versatile treatment option – you can listen at home or in your car, or can give yourself a quick attitude adjustment at work by slipping on your headphones for ten minutes or so.
Before investing the small sum of .00 for the whole program, I just had to try the ten-minute demo. It did remind me very much of the music that is played during massage and other spa treatments, which I have always personally found to be very relaxing. If just ten minutes could make me so relaxed, I was quite eager to reap the benefits of a full hour. It is very refreshing, and I can understand why the website compares the experience to a “mental bath.”
It’s a little spooky, but cool all at the same time that you hear things that aren’t really on the audio, but that are coming from your own brain while it works to synchronize the right and left input of the sounds that are there. These can sound like waves crashing against the shore, or rolling thunder, and it reinforces what a strong influence sound has on our brains.
What It Can Do For You
While HoloThink makes no claims of curing panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, or any phobia, it absolutely should be considered as part of any treatment or therapy program. You can easily incorporate this program into whatever daily regimen you practice for breathing and relaxation exercises. The tranquility achieved through these audio files is truly inspiring and amazing.
The recommendation is that you listen between twenty and thirty minutes each day, which is easily incorporated into your de-stressing efforts and breathing and relaxation exercises as discussed above. Try sitting in a warm bath, lights low, maybe candles lit, and put the HoloThink track on – your relaxation experience will then be complete.
You can carry this audio program with you on your MP3 player, iPOD or iPhone and use it to ward off anxiety and panic attacks. If you have the choice of experiencing an attack for thirty minutes, or listening to ten minutes of this, the choice is pretty clear. The best thing about it is that you can do it anywhere – all you need is a device that will play the music and headphones on which to listen to it. If you find yourself stressed in the middle of your workday on a daily basis, find a quiet place at lunchtime, plug-in, and listen. It only takes that much for you to be able to return to your work station ready to face the rest of the day being refreshed and reenergized.
HoloThink is a program that can help anyone who can hear. For the price, it cannot be beat – it is equivalent to the cost of two fast-food meals, which are bad for you anyway. You simply must incorporate this program into your personalized routine for beating panic and anxiety.
