How do I know?Coz when I practise Mantak Chia's('Awaken the Healing energy') microcosmic orbit baroque synchronizes everything perfectly, more receptive to the subtle energy. Of course there's a lot of sh*t baroque, however Vivaldi is underratedIMO, like haydn's string quartet's to Mozart and Field to Chopin, and sometimes I prefer the innocent to the perfected.So here someone connects the Small Universe or Microcosmic Orbit meditation to the slow Baroque middle movements - 60 beats per minute
60 bpm baroque youtube music playlist - 50 plus!
Maybe they have read my research? Or is it just a coincidence?
Why Baroque Music? Research reveals that Baroque music pulses between 50 to 80 beats per minute. Baroque music "stabilizes mental, physical and emotional rhythms," according to Chris Boyd Brewer, "to attain a state of deep concentration and focus in which large amounts of content information can be processed and learned."So when we look at what is hypnosis really - what do we find?
Music affects your brain waves. Slower baroques, such as Bach, Handel, Vivaldi or Corelli, can create mentally stimulating environments for creativity and new innovations. Alpha brain waves originate from the occipital lobe during periods of relaxation. As you relax you can move out of stressors that otherwise impede your creativity.
Third, the dominant oscillation of the hippocampal neurons in mammals is theta (Stella & Treves, 2011) suggesting a role of this oscillation in function of hippocampus and declarative memory.... the evidence is strong that the more theta that is present, the better the “record” and “playback” functions of declarative memory. These findings suggest the possibility that when theta is enhanced, so might declarative memory encoding and retrieval functions. Further, theta activities in hippocampus and limbic circuits of the brain may be distantly projected to neocortical areas as well (Sirota et al., 2008).
slower frequencies (perhaps hippocampal theta but potentially theta from other structures such as basal ganglia) might “control” the firing of faster (neocortical) gamma frequencies.
theta oscillations help to “bind” neuron assemblies that fire at gamma frequencies in different parts of the brain into a coherent whole of an recallable experience
Interestingly, during the waking state, theta oscillations are prominent in the amygdala during periods of intense emotional arousal (Paré & Collins, 2000).And so what does it mean to "make memories" (not to live in the past I hope!)
patterns of post-encoding functional connectivity between the hippocampus and the ventral tegmental area predicts episodic memory performance after a delay (24 h), but is unrelated to immediate memory performance.Which is to say you can have a strong SUBCONSCIOUS emotional reaction (hypnotism) but have no "immediate recall" of such a thing happening!! Instead it hits us during sleep as it is "processed" as a damage to the body.
memory enhancement (perhaps via increases in theta power and/or increases in theta-gamma coupling) occurs following events that trigger both positive or negative emotions (Paré, 2003).And so it is found that it is the increase in THETA waves from Audio-Visual Entrainment treats depression.
Rise in QIP scores appear influenced by the variations of theta band.
Perhaps it is not casual that during the last treatmentSo it is Tom Kenyon who emphasizes the Theta Brain waves for music-meditation entrainment
sessions theta waves, afterward delta and alpha 1, were predominantand probably affecting the cognitive improvement.
Tom Kenyon, head of Acoustic Brain Research in North Carolina, produces various sonic entrainment cassettes called “WaveForms.” Along with “Differential Signaling,” Tom’s term for the Hemi-Synch process, he also utilizes the pulsing of low tones at specific rhythmic patterns to entrain the brain into the desired state. He claims that an advantage of this form of entrainment is that a person with ear deafness can still get the entrainment, whereas in differential signaling, there would be no entrainment since one of the signals is not being received. Tom has worked with researchers using a 24 channel Neuromap EEG recording of subjects after they listened to his WaveForm tape. This research showed a shift of dominant alpha brain activity and a powerful increase in theta (4-8 hz).Jonathon Goldman has more details
Jeanne Achterberg in her book Imagery in Healing notes, for example, that analysis of shamanic drumming encompasses a frequency range of from .8 to 5.0 cycles per second, which she refers to as “theta driving capacity.”Interview with Dr. Jeanne Achterberg - transpersonal psychology youtube interview
Tibetan bells, or Ting-Sha’s, have been utilized in Buddhist meditation practice for many centuries. An examination reveals that the two bells, which are rung together, are slightly out of tune with each other. Depending upon the bells, the difference tones between them create ELFs somewhere between 4 and 8 cycles per second. This falls exactly within the range of the brain waves created during meditation and helps shift the brain to these frequencies. It is little wonder that Tibetan bells are experiencing a worldwide increase in popularity as tools for increased relaxation and reduction of stress.
So she cites Neher (the shamanic drum study I've cited) but also...

In other words - Theta is conscious connection to the subconscious - in real time. It is psychic energy.
I'm talking about the PIneal Gland-Thalamus Activation:
Melanin levels increase with age in the pineal gland - for increased sun gazing!!
In the human adult, melanin pigments gradually accumulate within the parenchymal cells with increasing age in males, whereas in females, the maximum pigmentation is noticed in 30-40 year age group and then there was a fall (Tapp and Huxley 1972). The present study was done to find whether or not the human adult pineal gland showed gender difference and age changes in the amount of melanin pigments.
The synaptic ribbons of mammalian pinealocytes may be vestiges of the special synapses that are characteristic of photoreceptors.
Melanin pigments are associated with light and are found in association with photoreceptors. This association, probably, exists with photoreceptor cells-derived pinealocytes also. It is possible that the pigments, corresponding to those (rodopsin) in photoreceptors and those in the supporting cells in Sphenodon pineal gland, are in the pinealocytes and stroma in the human pineal gland. Increase of melanin pigments is due to the action of pineal indole-melatonin. Melatonin suppresses the melanocyte-stimulating hormone and prevents dispersion of melanin granules. Therefore, the melanin pigments become concentrated in the pineal gland.Fascinating!!
Importantly, several studies have shown that the amount of melanin deposited on the external body surface is correlated with the amount located inside the body. This finding raises the possibility that internal melanin plays more important physiological roles in dark than light-colored individuals. Internal melanin and coloration may therefore not evolve independently. This further emphasizes the major role played by indirect selection in evolutionary processes.Wow - AMAZING!!

Eumelanic coloration may therefore be associated with adaptations to environments where the risk of food depletion is high.
In humans, correlations between aging and both internal and external melanins are also present. For example, the level of neuromelanin localized in the pineal gland increases with aging (Koshy and Vettivel, 2001), and in older people, the skin is usually more pigmented than in younger individuals, due to a greater functional activity in older melanocytes. This occurs despite a decrease in melanocytes density with aging (Costin and Hearing, 2007). In addition, inner ear pigmentation varies between ethnic groups and individuals with a positive relationship between inner ear and skin pigmentation (La Ferriere et al., 1974). The same is true for the choroid, which contains a higher density of melanin in African Americans compared to Caucasian Americans (Weiter et al., 1986).
Interestingly, in birds, the eyes possess a unique adaptation to flight, the pecten that contains blood vessels full of melanin as a protection against UV light and oxygen radicals (Goodman and Bercovich, 2008; Jones et al., 2007; Kiama et al., 1994; Onuk et al., 2013). The pecten is much larger and melanized in bird species adapted to extreme conditions such as long distance migrants, who have no direct access to water and food resources. Consequently, this structure has also been hypothesized to deal with energy and nutrient requirements under extreme conditions through ‘photomelanometabolism’, whereby melanin initiates the conversion of light to metabolic energy (Goodman and Bercovich, 2008).
