Want Your Mind to Rock the World? Play Some Kickin' Brain Music!

Water Music. The sounds of nature can make your mind sharper.
Years ago, I caught an episode of a Nickelodeon show called Dexter's Laboratory where the lead character--a kid who's clearly a mad scientist in the making--wanted to learn French overnight by listening to a language recording while he was asleep. According to his crazy calculations, his contraption would help him become fluent in French by the time he woke up in the morning. I remember telling my nephew, "That's nuts. Don't believe everything you see on TV."
Fab Fact
Well, it turns out that the off-the-wall cartoon might have been closer to fact than fiction. I recently got hold of a product called the The Brain Evolution System (or BrainEv), a six-level program for mastering the brain. Simply put, it is a user-friendly toolkit for the brain made up of CDs featuring sounds that would stimulate the rhythm of beneficial brainwave states.
Through specially-crafted sounds BrainEv fires up the brain's auditor cortex, which, in turn, feeds the sounds into the limbic system. The results: sharper thinking, more energy, greater relaxation, better problem solving skills, and more mentally empowering benefits.
Just what sort of "mind-empowering" sounds does BrainDev give you? Well, you'll be glad to know that no mumbo jumbo is involved. The said sounds come from nature. In fact, my personal favorite is the sound of the forest stream. (You can sign up for their demo to get it.)
Simple Science
At first, I have to admit I was skeptical about the whole thing. I mean, it does sound too good to be true, doesn't it? But when I read the product research, I was convinced that BrainEv was very sound. (Pun intended.)
It uses the technology of brainwave entrainment--a method of synchronizing or "entraining" one's brainwaves and then directly inputting them into your brain. Think about it this way: each of your brain cells gets a tiny electrical charge when it is stimulated. With BrainEv, your brain only gets the "good stuff" and, as such, it'll be more likely to work better.
Hearing Sessions
Of course, since it's a scientifically sound product, BrainEv does not promise instant results. It does, however, guarantee significant development with consistent use. As their information supplements reveal: "Brainwave entrainment is achieved by simply listening to our sound-based program, for 30 minutes per day, six days a week, in the comfort of your own home or personal space."
Other than that, no other "special equipment, exercises or extended effort is required on your part." All you need is a CD or MP3 player and a pair of earphones. (Yep, it can be played on your iPod, too.)
Moreover, if you don't want to wait around for the BrainEv Cd to be delivered to you, you can get it in the form of MP3 files. Think about it: you could just be one click away from having a "better" brain.
Timely Tune-Up
BrainEv is right in tune with the current buzzword: "brain training."
These days, more and more studies are focusing on how we can maximize our minds by providing it with the right kinds of resources and stimulation. According to the findings of various studies, there are immense benefits to be derived from brain training.
That being the case, it's clear that BrainEv is at the forefront of this revolution. And, hey, it's not a mad scientist making that claim. The facts speak for themselves.

Great review, I've been using BrainEv since the early days already and really enjoying it. Very powerful, thanks for reminding me how great it is!!
For years, researchers have been promoting that pregnant mothers listen to classical music.
The theory is that, due to it's complexity, it helps in the child's development.
This science is much older than you think. Russian language students got up to 700 words a day by listening to one beat per second classicical musicback in the 60's. The French discovered exactly which music works to help with learning. the name of the book is "Superlearning"
I just go to pandora.com and play baroque music - that's what's used for the so-called Mozart Effectl, It's also FREE
I have for quite a few years worked with brainwave cd`s as well as spoken word affirmation, and guided meditation programs... Needless to say I have not found any of them all that effective in changing my state or helping me with non resourceful beliefs.
I have found however that listening to some classical music at times does help me change my state of mind.
It seems we humans always want to gut, tear out, control and manipulate. To place our will upon those things.
We did not create our consciousness, nor our physical bodies. We may understand the physical and mechanical nature of our brains and bodies that we inhabit, but that does not give us the sovereign right to it to do as we please.
Have you ever noticed how the mind is often like boxing shadows?
What would happen if we just accepted without judgment that which is there, and offered a harmonious invitation of something new, instead of ripping, tearing and judging what is there as bad or disease or evil or whatever.
We have to remember that the mind is only one third of our consciousness. It takes thought/emotion/feeling to create our reality. We also have to remember that all thoughts are simply possibilities and nothing more. Our thoughts are only as good as the information we put into it.
Simpleology helps us determine which possibility to lock on and how to stay with that possibility to it`s fruition. Kaizen is the tweaking of those things each day. To redirect ones habitual focus.
This isn`t about conquering, destroying, and ruling.... This is about directing focused mental energy from one thing to another.
The goal is :
Thought without attachment to outcome.
Feeling without distortion.
Emotion without charge.
I've been using subliminal Cd's for a few years now and SWEAR by them. I use the one that just have thunder, rain & lightning sounds. You can try the Subliminal Edge ones; I get mine cheap from EBay. Also classical music such as Mozart is good motivation music- (not the requiems though-lol). I WILL check into BrainEv if it's not too $$$
There are many brainwave entrainment audios on the market , Holosync is one i have found ctreated by centrepoint research institue, you can try before you buy andit has a money back guarentee its hard to synthesise the vast amount of goodness being thrown at me in all this world!
This is why I listen to Qawwali and African music during the winter. I'm very susceptible to Seasonal Affective Disorder; and 15-minute Sufi songs by the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and others are the best way for me to snap out of it. That, and playing music out on the sidewalk myself!
