Product: MindSpa iMeditation (iPhone OS 3.0 Tested)
Price: **Free for a limited time**
Hastens MindSpa takes the unique capabilities of the iPhone™ and iPod Touch™ to a new level by simultaneously providing auditory and visual neural brainwave entrainment with biofeedback.
This is the only application to combine three scientifically proven modalities to provide deep relaxation leading to a calmer mind and better sleep.
Brought to you by the experts in neurotechnology, the MindSpa application uses proprietary neuro-sensory algorithm technology to activate specific parts of the brain through auditory and visual stimulation resulting in mental rejuvenation, accelerated learning and deep relaxation.
About Brainwave Stimulation and Brainwave States
Auditory and visual stimulation (AVS) is a method of personal development that has evolved over more than two decades from the study and use of biofeedback; a training procedure that can enable a person to alter physiological responses to induce a desired state of mind.
In biofeedback, the object for the individual is to deliberately try to calm or train mental activity. With AVS, passive inducement occurs without the conscious effort of the individual. We have combined both passive and active modalities to quickly train you to enter deep states of relaxation.
Our brain operates primarily in four brainwave states. These states range from being wide awake and active, the beta brainwave state, to the calm, focused alpha state, and the creative, deeply meditative theta state, down to low wave, deep, dreamless, restorative sleep; the delta brainwave state.
How Hastens MindSpa Works
By utilizing the latest dual induction techniques, with a separate voice in each ear, Dr. Bandler has prepared a one-of-a-kind experience for you found exclusively here. A special visual neural-stimulation program simultaneously measures slight changes in body movement and adjusts to those movements to place you into a deep, calm state of relaxation and stress relief.
BRAINWAVE STATES
BETA frequencies are measured from approximately 13 to 40 Hertz (Hz) or cycles per second. Low to moderate amplitude beta corresponds to our normal waking state of alertness where the vast majority of routine thinking and physical functioning occur. High amplitude, fast beta generally reflects a state of heightened anxiety or stress, and feelings of agitation and discomfort due to mental over-activity.
ALPHA – 8 to 13 Hz.
This represents the calm state associated with external attention and focused awareness. Among its properties, alpha wave generation provides mental rejuvenation, accelerated learning and deep relaxation.
THETA – 4 to 8 Hz.
This represents the deeply relaxed state of free flowing inward focus. It is also the deep, advanced meditation state and the seat of the creative process.
DELTA – 0.5 to 3 Hz.
This dreamless, deep sleep state is the physical and deep mental regeneration state entered through the natural sleep cycle.
A trully unique iPhone application that takes advantage of the motion sensor for user input…. I’ve also bought the original MindSpa Hasten’s edition and I am using it when I need to get away from stress and become even more creative. This application introduces the element of biofeedback in a very smart way that really adds to the whole experience. My only complaint is that the duration of the session is small …. The session ends with a promise for more sessions from MindSpa in the future.
My verdict: A must have app for all iPhone and iTouch users….
