What are Brainwave Shots anyway?

There must have been a time when you absolutely needed to do something but just couldn’t get yourself going.

Perhaps you needed to concentrate to learn something for an exam or work?

Perhaps you were going to a family party but just couldn’t get into the party mood?

Perhaps you’ld had a bad day at work and just couldn’t switch off?

Then you would have found brainwave shots useful in all these situations, and many more besides.

Brainwave shots can help you change your mood – by changing your brain state – as you listen to a 30 minute audio file.

They use special embedded tones that gently guide your brain into natural resourceful states.  While in these states you will experience the mood that being in those states generates such as creativity, focus, happiness, confidence, relaxation and more.

All you have to do to get the benefit of these track and get into these states is listen and relax.  And they are portable mp3 files that you can listen to on your smartphone, ipod, mp3 player or computer.

Once you have listened and activated the desired state, you will continue to feel the effects of the entrainment for at least four hours.  Often it can last through to the end of the day.

What is Brainwave Entrainment?

Our brains generate electrical signals as we think and process our view of the world.  These signals can be measured using an EEG machine and are measured in hertz or Hz.

Not surprisingly, when we concentrate, worry or are agitated, our brainwaves are faster.  When we are relaxed yet alert, they are lower. When we are in a deep sleep they are lower still.

Now, the point to note is that your mood is influenced by the speed of your brain, also known as your state.  If your brain is in a focussed state, you will be more easily able to concentrate on work you need to do.  There is a lower brainwave state where you are relaxed and capable of creatively solving problems.

Feel free to read my article to discover the five recognised brainwave states and the Hz limits for each.

But the problem is, even though these states are totally natural and we can access them from time to time by accident, it is often difficult to get into these states on demand.  We’ve all heard how long it takes Tibetan monks to be able to achieve meditative states at will.

And that’s where brainwave entrainment and brainwave shots can help.

Brainwave entrainment is a method of guiding the brain into a more productive state using external stimuli.  That stimuli can use light, electromagnetic fields or, more usually, a pulsing sound.

As you listen to the audio, your brain will lock onto the frequency in the audio and bring itself to the same frequency. And it’s all perfectly natural which means most people will benefit from listening.

However, we’re all different and some people may experience a greater result than others.

Similarly, most people can listen without harm but there are a small category of people who should not.  Always read the guidelines issued by the producer of the audio before you listen, just to be sure.

Each brainwave shot contains embedded frequencies that correspond with the state of mind you need to be in to experience that mood. Just pick the desired mood and listen to the audio.  By the end of the session you should be in the chosen state of mind and should stay in it for several hours after.

Pros

•  As you are guiding your brain into a completely natural state there can be no negative side effects.  (But read guidelines to make sure is safe for you individually.)

•  The producers state that you will experience the effects for at least 4 hours which will give you time to ace that exam, impress at that interview or be charming at that party!

•  Obtaining and using the shots is extremely convenient.  After placing your order and paying you will be able to download the files straight away and copy them to your phone or mp3 player.

Cons

•  The producers suggest that the audios won’t have the same effect on everyone.  We’re all different and the stimuli may have less of an effect on certain people.  Others may find the pulsing sound uncomfortable or unpleasant.  Not to worry though – you can rely on the one year moneyback guarantee if you are unhappy with them in any way.

• Listening too much can cause your brain to become familiar with the tones and they will stop having an effect on you.  Always follow the producers guidelines as to how often you can listen.

Summary

These audios represent the cutting edge of brainwave entrainment using the latest isochronic tones technology to guide your brain into useful brain states so you can access your natural resources.

As I have been writing this article I have listened to the focus shot using headphones. I can honestly say that I felt in the zone and was able to hold my concentration and focus on it the whole time.

The entrainment tones are easy to listen to and not jarring or annoying. In fact, I find the pulsing hypnotic and it helps drown out other distractions.

But if you find you don’t like them you can listen to the variation that has music or natural sounds masking the entrainment. The focus audio has sounds of a babbling brook and chirping birds. I guess some people may find the additional sounds distracting anyway but you have the choice.

I enjoy listening and feel they have an impact on me as I listen.

If you like the idea of brainwave entrainment and want to see what they can do for you, just try them!

With the money back guarantee, your purchase cost is protected and you have no reason not to try them.

FAQs

Who are brainwave shots for?

This product is for anyone who wants to change their state of mind easily to a resourceful state of their choosing.

It can take a long time to learn to relax like a monk but Brainwaveshots promise to get you there in 30 minutes.

Can they cause me any harm?

Brainwave entrainment is a proven science that uses sound frequencies to influence your brain towards a particular state.  As such, they are generally safe to use.

But you should note that manufacturers usually issue a disclaimer and recommend that they not be used by people who suffer from epilepsy, preganant women or minors under 18.  You should also not listen any time you need to be fully aware such as when driving or using power tools or machinery.

Always read fully any guidelines for use that come with your purchase to make sure you can use the audios safely.

Can I listen to brainwave shots on my phone?

Yes.  Convenience is one of the features of these audios.  Download the files and transfer them to your phone for ultimate portability.

Do I need to use headphones to get the benefits?

You do not need to wear headphones but you may get a better experience if you do.

Headphones provide a better direct listening experience and can help blot out distractions from your surrounding environment.

Many brainwave entrainment programs use binaural beats to achieve entrainment and these DO need to be listened through headphones.  (Find out why here)

But Brainwave shots use a more modern entrainment method called isochronic tones.  These tones use the same computer generated pulse into each ear which do not need to be listened to through headphones to take effect,

See my recommendation for the best headphones for binaural beats.

Do I need to close my eyes while listening?

You will want to close your eyes for most of the audio sessions.  That will block visual distractions and allow you to listen to the tones and music more intently.

But there are some which you can listen to with your eyes open.  Three examples of these are the brainpower shot, the focus shot and the learning shot.   Refer to the quick start guide and see which ones state “Can be played with eyes open” on each individual product page.

Can I use these with other brainwave programs?

Yes you can but please use a little moderation.

I also own and use excellent programs such as Zen12 and Brain Evolution System and can listen to them all together, but not all day long.

I would listen to no more than a few hours each day, and take breaks in between.

That said, four brainwave shots can actually be listened to on repeat indefinitely. These are the learning shot, the focus shot, the creativity shot and the pain relief shot.

Is just listening really all I have to do?

That’s what the producer says.  Just hit play and enjoy the benefits.

But I think there is an added ingredient you need to put in, and that is an open mind about the audios.

You will get a much better experience if you try to listen without judgement and see what happens.

If you listen believing they won’t work, you’re going to find all sorts of reasons why they didn’t.

What states of mind can I access with these shots?

There are shots for many moods, categorised into seven areas:   Brain, Relaxation, Mood, Energy, Health, Meditation and State.
