Question about Core States Of Awareness

[Raz]

Hi Shannon, I need some clarification regarding this:

It has recently come to my attention that some of you have been using the brainwave entrainment programs too much per day and/or for too many days in a row, and getting some unexpected results. Here is how to properly use these programs:

If you plan to use them long term, use no more than one target frequency or program, for no more than 30 minutes per day, and afterward, always balance it out with 30 minutes of the beta brainwave entrainment program found in the Core States pack for an equal amount of time each day. This will help prevent you from unintentionally training your brain to stay in a specific non-awake frequency while you're awake. I recommend against using BWE programming for more than 30 days straight.

If you wish to use one or more BWE programs for more than 30 minutes per day, never use more than two different programs for more than the length of one play-through per day. Also, do not use the programs of longer than 30 minutes for consecutive days, or too many days per week or per month. It is a good idea to try to balance the programs with 30 to 60 minutes of low frequency beta afterward, as well, to bring you back to consciousness and train awakeness.

If you ever experience any effects from using BWE programs that you do not like, immediately stop using them.

The Core set contains the Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, Gamma frequencies. Are you saying Beta is a "balancer" for all the other frequencies? And should I use Beta immediately after a play-through of any of the others? If that is the case, then I fail to see their importance as it will mean I will immediately cancel the effect of 30 minutes of Alpha, for example, with the Beta.

Or, do I use Alpha in the morning and then balance it out in the afternoon or evening with Beta?

Which is the right way to use them, please?

The Beta frequency range is the default state of your consciousness while you are awake. So after you slow your frequency state down (Alpha, Theta, Delta) or speed it up (Gamma) you want to return it to the normal waking state. So you would play the Beta frequency track immediately afterwards. The goal is to let you explore altered states of consciousness without training your brain to remain permanently in it.

Let's say you want to explore the Theta frequency realm: you play the Theta track and over time learn to be in it. After you stop entraining you'll go back to the Beta frequency band automatically over time. With the use of the Beta frequency track you aid yourself to come back to the Beta frequency range completely and quickly.

With this approach you'll train yourself over time to go more easily and longer into different frequency ranges without displacing your normal state of awake awareness.

This is exactly what the Special Meditations Set is doing. It'll slow your frequency band down into the desired range for about half an hour and will speed you up to normal Beta range for the remaining 30 minutes of the 60 minute track.

Hope this helps.
