Neuroscience Expert\u00a0Explains Connection Between Brainwaves and Your Emotional Health; and How to Embrace the Power of <\/em> Your Most Vital Mental Instrument for a Better Love Life<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Dr.\nPatrick K. Porter, Ph.D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no\ndenying that love makes most of us feel everything from\nhappy, distracted and passionate to crazy, tired and pretty much everything\nelse under the sun. So, it should come as no surprise that being in love can do\nquite a number on our brains and bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studies show that those couples that\nincorporate a\ntechnology method called brainwave entrainment\u2013also known as brainwave training\u2013into their daily lives report significant\nstress relief through deep relaxation. In fact, many of these couples say the\nmethod also helps them maintain healthier sleep patterns, gives them a boost in\nphysical energy and focus, provides improved memory and learning skills, and a\nbetter overall sense of calm and happiness in their romantic relationships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nmy clinical experience, I have observed that those couples that use brainwave\nentrainment as part of their regular routine find it easier to de-stress while also achieving emotional, mental and\nphysical balance. Unlike traditional meditation programs, brainwave\nentrainment\u2019s neuro-algorithms naturally and gently guide the brain through an\narray of brainwave patterns\u2013and the result is a complete spectrum of brainwave\nactivity, which provides better insights\ninto love and our relationships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brainwave\ntraining is an easy (and fast) way to relax and reboot and helps couples that\nmay be experiencing high stress and communication issues, difficulty sleeping,\nlow energy or other lifestyle challenges, recharge and revitalize their\nrelationships.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many couples I have worked with over the years say that the calming,\nrejuvenating effects of even just 10 to 20 minutes of this method helps balance\ntheir nervous system and protect against common stressors of everyday life,\nincluding their relationship challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating Feelings of Calm, Focus and Healing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Backed by\nneuroscience and research, training your brainwaves helps guide the brain from\nan awake, reactionary mind into an intuitive, creative state, and then to a\nplace where super-learning and healing occur\u2013the outcome is a heightened state\nof consciousness with crystal clear focus. The practice,\nalso often referred to as \u201cbraintapping,\u201d creates a symphony of brainwave\nactivity, and feelings of calm focus that\u2019s ideal for learning, productivity,\nhealing and clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how does it work? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our brainwaves mimic the pulse rates of the\nsounds to which we\u2019re exposed.<\/strong> <\/strong>By\nlistening to varied frequencies and holographic music, you can reboot your\nbrain to a healthy, balanced state of relaxation and revitalization. The science behind training\nyour brainwaves relies on four critical elements that\nenable technology to induce brainwave entrainment. The four components include\nbinaural beats, guided visualization, 10-cycle holographic music and isochronic\ntones.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Braintapping uses auditory and visual stimulation\nto synchronize and balance brainwaves. As the light and sound\nfrequency changes, so does the frequency in the brain. The process also\nstabilizes the limbic system, which is involved in motivation, emotion, learning\nand memory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a brainwave training session, the body is\ncalmed, your breathing becomes rhythmic, your hands become warmer and your\nmuscles begin to relax. In addition, the\nlight and sound stimulation boost your brain\u2019s levels of serotonin, beta-endorphin\nand norepinephrine\u2013the same chemicals that are released during a romantic attraction\nand make us giddy, energetic and euphoric<\/em>. <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harness the Power of Braintapping to Enhance Your Romantic Relationship<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As human beings, we all strive to seek fulfilling\nrelationships, the type that uplift us and bring us joy. In my clinical and\npersonal experience, I can attest that we are all capable of finding true love\nand building lasting, rewarding relationships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you\u2019re enjoying some time with your significant\nother this Valentine\u2019s Day, take a moment to explore the science of love by\nexperimenting with brainwave training. If you follow through by tapping into\nthe latest technology, you and your partner will find, as many others have\ndiscovered, that the approach can transform your relationship on a much deeper\nlevel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
