Innovative sound-based tools to power your focus & flow, deep relaxation, creativity, profound meditation, and healing. Imagine using the power of resonance to set your mood and dial the brainwave states you want. Think joy, total relaxation, deep stillness, high focus, out-of-the-box creativity, rest...delivered through a pair of headphones and this app. Welcome to iAwake®. HOW DOES THE TECH WORK? As you read this text, billions of brain cells are generating measurable electrical activity across your brain. Extensive scientific research has revealed how all our mind states (relaxation, focus, anxiety, sleep, meditation...) correspond to specific brainwave patterns. All the feelings, thoughts, and actions we engage in on a daily basis are somehow electro-chemically rooted in neuron-to-neuron communication and so reflected in our ever-changing brainwave states. Due to the tendency of our brains to synchronize with external stimuli, it is possible to use sound to influence the amplitude of our various brainwave frequencies. For example, as you listen to an alpha brainwave track, certain areas of your brain want to quite literally follow the rhythm and get synchronized to the speed of alpha waves. When that happens, you might feel the calm and open focus that is associated with alpha rhythms. Thanks to neuroplasticity (the brain's endless and amazing capacity to change, adapt, and reorganize itself), the more frequently you enter a state, the easier you are able to go back to it. Brainwave entrainment lets your brain calm down or speed up, depending on your needs. THE IAWAKE® DIFFERENCE iAwake's sound entrainment envelops brainwave activity, strategically guiding it toward transformative states of consciousness. Rather than embedding simple binaural frequencies into a nature soundtrack, the iAwake’s approach influences neurological activity through a multi-layered approach that synergizes numerous brainwave entrainment strategies. These may include: binaural, isochronic, monaural beats, as well as psychoacoustic (using music itself as part of entrainment process), panning from side to side (to facilitate releasing of stress), exhaustive binaural encoding, dual pulse binaural signals, harmonic layering, carrier frequency therapy, and much more. iAwake® integrates science AND art in the creation of its unique, powerful yet kind, and beautiful soundscapes.
