I can tell you from absolute personal experience that brainwave technology is very real. Biofeedback is very real. The power of the mind is very real.

The mind has the power to completely alter the reality around you (or at the very least your perception of it). You can heal yourself with it, you can harm yourself with it, you can do "supernatural" things, simply by thinking about it in the right "frame of mind".

There are technologies that help induce the correct brainwave activity that makes people more able to do these types of things. I was a very real part of the infancy of this science. I learned how to slow my heartrate by listening to a beep and matching my pulse to the sound. I could enter altered states of consciousness by controlling the type of brainwaves I was emitting (alpha, theta, beta, delta, etc.) All these things are scientifically verifiable.

All this was back in the '70's. I can only imagine the lengths to which it has been developed today. My mother has since gotten out of the R&D realm and now assists surgeons by monitoring brain activity during neuro surgery, so my link to that aspect of science has dried up.

That being said, I am equally sure that there are a lot of people out there who will tout this technology as a sure-fire way to do whatever. And that is NOT the case. You still have to do the work. You still have to make it happen. These things only help you get to a mental space that makes it easier.

I'm very dubious of any company selling anything, but that goes triple for those that claim something "miraculous" is possible simply by buying their product.

Do you believe these mp3's can alter your state just by listening to them?
