HoloThink Review
That our mental and physical health is affected by certain sound frequencies is the current belief of researchers as the result of the giant strides of brain science over the last decade. The science is known by different names – “neurotechnology,” “entrainment,” and “Binaural Effect” – and these methods are being applied to things such as diagnosing illnesses and treating panic disorder and anxiety. This is the premise behind HoloThink, which is an audio program that can help you if you will only listen to it. That bears repeating – you only have to listen.
Beyond the Spa
You have heard of subliminal messages – those that you cannot hear, but which your brain absorbs anyway – that is how brainwaves are constantly working. Rooted in science, this isn’t just some Twilight Zone hocus-pocus. Medical tests known as “EEGs” are really ELECTROencephalography, what does that tell you? Nowadays, hospitals are using audio-therapy not just in step-down units, but for recovering patients from major illnesses, trauma and surgery, and are embracing a holistic or whole-body approach into treatments. Relaxation audio during therapy is being used increasingly by rehabilitation facilities.
Sound tables, with speakers built right in, are being designed by scientists and medical professionals, taking this to another level.
These days, for chronic pain management, a patient can lie on the table, listen to certain sound frequencies combined with music , and eliminate the need for the classic form of pain management that includes anesthesiologist-managed shots of cortisone, steroids and other drugs. (What an incredible alternative to being poked repeatedly with needles!)
This is an accepted science, as evidenced by the fact that in August 2008, the Cleveland Clinic and the Cleveland Orchestra teamed up for a study of how music affects the brain. Applying this theory makes a whole lot of sense when you consider that music already affects us profoundly, which is why some people find themselves moved to tears during the opera. HoloThink does precisely this.
Understanding the Program
HoloThink is made up of a sixty-minute audio file that imparts tranquility to the listener. Even if you are not one for classical music or popular “spa music”; even if you prefer rap to country, and rock and roll to the blues, you can listen to this stuff. Give the ten-minute free trial a chance to see if it refreshes you. Because you can download the audio files immediately, you can start reaping the benefit of HoloThink immediately. This is a versatile treatment option – you can listen at home or in your car, or can give yourself a quick attitude adjustment at work by slipping on your headphones for ten minutes or so.
Even though the investment is a paltry .00 for the whole program, I gave the ten-minute trial a try. I found it to be very similar to the soothing music played during spa treatment and massage that I’ve had in the past. In just ten minutes I was relaxed with my eyes closed and wondering how stress-free I’d be after listening for the full sixty minutes. The website likens the experience to a “mental bath” and that seems fairly accurate; it is very refreshing.
It’s a little spooky, but cool all at the same time that you hear things that aren’t really on the audio, but that are coming from your own brain while it works to synchronize the right and left input of the sounds that are there. These can sound like waves crashing against the shore, or rolling thunder, and it reinforces what a strong influence sound has on our brains.
What Benefit Will I Derive?
In your efforts to treat and/or cure your generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder or phobia, you should consider using HoloThink, even though it doesn’t claim to cure any of that. You can easily incorporate this program into whatever daily regimen you practice for breathing and relaxation exercises. You, too will be amazed and inspired once you feel for yourself the level of tranquility you can achieve with these audio files.
The program recommends that you listen for between twenty and thirty minutes every day, and as stated above, this can be done in conjunction with relaxation and breathing exercises, to complete your individual de-stressing program. A complete relaxation experience can include a warm bath, candles or soft lighting and the HoloThink track.
To ward off panic and anxiety attacks, you can carry this program with you on your portable music device, such as an MP3 player, iPOD or iPhone. Taking just ten minutes to listen in order avoid up to thirty minutes of a mind-crushing attack seems like a pretty good solution. The best thing about it is that you can do it anywhere – all you need is a device that will play the music and headphones on which to listen to it. Plugging in and listening during your lunch time can help ease the stress that you may feel each day around that time. It only takes that much for you to be able to return to your work station ready to face the rest of the day being refreshed and reenergized.
HoloThink is a program that can help anyone who can hear. HoloThink offers a remarkable return on investment, costing about as much as two fast food meals that are not so healthy anyway. Incorporating this program into your personalized program for beating panic and anxiety is a must.
