The bookstores and book sites are filled with numerous tomes dealing with the health of the brain using various methods like hypnosis, meditation and music. One of these books is The Brain Massage authored by the well-known expert in the field, Dr. Jeffrey Thompson.
Meet the Author
Undoubtedly, a book on any subject is only as good as the professional expertise and personal experiences of its author. When the author lacks either qualification while writing the book, his credibility is subject to reasonable doubts. For example, when writing about a book on the subject of hypnosis, the author must possess the necessary education, training and work experience on the matter.
In the case of The Brain Massage, listeners to the audio book have the benefit of an expert on the subject matter at hand instead of, say, a person who borrows ideas from many authors, compiles these ideas into a book and then calls it an original work. Dr. Jeffrey Thompson is a highly-respected professional with years of experience as a researcher, teacher and advocate of sound frequency patterns can promote changes in brains waves and, uniquely, provide for many health benefits including relaxation.
His professional experiences include working for NASA to understand the powerful recordings made by spacecrafts on the planets, teaching in various universities and seminars, and researching on sound frequencies as a healing modality, among others. Indeed, Dr. Thompson knows his product so well.
About the Book
It must be emphasized that The Brain Massage is an audio book that contains verbal instructions and classical music. The main aims of the audio book are to promote deaf sleep, greater levels of creativity, and higher modes of awareness of the self. The main method used is, of course, the provision of sound frequency patterns embedded in classical music to control natural brainwave activity.
Understandably, many individuals will think that the ideas advocated by Dr. Jeffrey Thompson are all mumbo-jumbo. How can music influence the individual's emotional moods, mental behavior and physical state by altering the brain's wave activity?
The answer lies in the numerous scientific studies pointing to the fact that the brain generates specific patterns of wave activity according to the person's mood. Thus, alpha and beta waves are present in the brain when the individual sounds alert, focused and energized while delta waves promises deep sleep. Alpha-theta waves correspond to emotional intensity that encourages good communication.
The Brain Massage audio book uses classical music by Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart and Haydn, among other classical composers, to encourage the brain to follow the desired wave pattern. You will then be able to achieve the desired state of mind and body depending on your needs.
For example, if you want to enjoy a good night's sleep, you will choose the CD with the delta wave sound frequencies as indicated on the cover. Then, in the morning, you can play the alpha and beta waves CD. Soon, you can enjoy the health benefits of being alert, focused and energized as well as relaxed in mind and body whenever and where you want.
Indeed, The Brain Massage is a must-have on your car stereo, CD player and even the iPod. At any time of the day when you feel particularly stressed, you can just play the appropriate CD and feel yourself being eased into a relaxed state of mind and body.
