Laxman Mind Machine Modification of Brain Activity Training. How to Work with Frequency Following Response, Brain Wave Entrainment and Altered States of Consciousness.

The rhythms of the Laxman mindmachine create waves which your brain will attempt to duplicate. The Laxman audio visual stimulator programs offer different brainwave frequencies for different purposes. Neurological research categorizes basically four brainwaves: beta, alpha, theta, delta.

30 - 13 Hz per second - Beta -  "general awareness of permanent alert" (Fritz Perls)

30  - 500 Hz  per second -  "high beta" or "gamma state", which is allegedly an octave higher than delta state). Creativity and learning ability are unfortunately on a low during this state.

12 - 18Hz  - Alpha State - a calmer state - light watchfulness, easy concentration, heightened learning and memorizing ability,  a feeling of unity of body and mind. This relaxed and balanced yet energized and wakeful state is experienced during light meditation.

7 - 14Hz - Theta State -  meditative state.  It is characterized by deep relaxation, high creativity as well as strong imagination.  Theta waves are also caused by psychedelic drugs.

3 - 1 Hz -  Delta State -  state of deepest relaxation. It is the state of deep sleep, trance, or deep hypnosis. Outer Body Experiences usually happen during the Delta State.

Training Schedule
 do NOT use a mind machine while operating a vehicle
 or using mechanical/electrical tools or equipment.

It is beneficial to carry out the sessions daily at the same time of the day. Depending upon circumstances, you can use relaxation/stress management session more often.   Two shorter sessions, one in the morning and one in the evening, have proven  value. In principle, it can be said that an increasing frequency and duration of the sessions promotes relaxation and mental abilities (concentration ability, stress resistance, refinement of sensory perception, reinforcement of PSI abilities etc.). Make sure not to be disturbed during the session (telephone, children...).

Tips for Special Relaxation Training
Lie or sit in a comfortable position.  An easy strain of the body as is developed in an upright position is just as favorable to release (chronic) tensions and to relax the musculature as a lying position. Settle on the position in which you achieve the best results. Your progress in relaxation training is also related to habits in everyday life. Pay attention to a relaxed posture in everyday life, too. In which situations do you (unnecessarily) tense your muscles? Are these perhaps special social situations? How relaxed is your back when you sit at the desk? Which muscles do you tense while driving a car? What happens if you relax these muscles? If you have some experience with the Laxman, additional relaxation techniques such as progressive muscle relaxation or autogenous training can be combined very well with audiovisual stimulation. These practices can also be converted as audio courses as MP3 files and transferred to the Laxman. So you can perform your training everywhere (e.g. during your breaks at work). Thus, you can naturally combine other techniques (e.g. superlearning, language courses, suggestions ...) with the Laxman, too.  Avoid caffeine or other stimulants including alcohol.

Tips for Special Concentration Training
In order to check the progress of your power of concentration, you can count the number of interruptions of your concentration while having a session and write them down afterwards. An interruption is a situation in which your mind is no longer focused on your concentration object (see below "mentality"), even if this lasts only for one or more seconds. A rising number of interruptions can also be a consequence of refined observation. A successful concentration training session starts at 30 minutes daily.   The more often and longer you practice, the faster your concentrativeness will develop. Sit erect during concentration training since a light strain of the body supports the concentration. The choice of the program depends on your personal disposition. The alpha state is favorable for concentration. If you notice  excitability or tiredness, other programs can be useful (in case of excitability use theta or delta frequencies  in case of tiredness use beta or alpha frequencies). The pure impulse programs are more suitable for concentration training, since they offer less acoustic diversions.

The Body Position
Choose a comfortable body position. Maintain the position during the entire session. Lying positions can make you sleepy. You can also choose an upright position, in which the body is relaxed, however not completely lackadaisical (e.g. sitting upright on a chair, armchair, or on the heels with a straight back). A slight strain is favorable for your concentration. The classical meditation positions (asanas) of Hatha Yoga are particularly suitable. Feel free to experiment with different positions.  Maintain the position you are most comfortable with. With practice, the body is trained to associate a mental attitude with the position.  In principle each position is good in which you are successful. There is no "perfect" body position. When having longer sessions (more than 30 minutes) each position can become a bit uncomfortable. Nevertheless, try to keep the body calm and relaxed. If you have chosen your position, put on the eyeglasses and the headphones. Your first program should have a medium length (20 to 30 minutes). Select the program you like from the menu. Experiment with volume and brightness. If possible leave the contrast at 100%. The intensity of light and volume has no influence on the quality of the stimulation. Adjust the impulses as it suits you.

The Mentality
For optimal progress, observe the contents of your mind during the session. Do not judge the emerging thoughts, pictures, sensations, or emotions or identify with them. Practice in the "art of pure observation"; interested, but not involved.  You can make notes on your experiences after a session. After the first sessions, for concentration training concentrate on an object. Such an object can be the sensation of raising and lowering the abdominal wall while breathing (kinesthetic object), or the visualization of a form (e.g. a ball of a defined color and size) (visual object), or the sound of a syllable, a word, or a sentence you repeat internally like a mantra.  If you note that your mind deviates from this object simply return to the object. In case a particularly interesting thought turns up, please brush it aside for the time being and, where necessary, write it down after the session. At first experiment with different objects. After some sessions you should settle on the object with which your concentration is best and maintain it. With continued training, a favorable condition is attached to this object. If you prefer a less intensive training, you can just let your mind drift and enjoy the session.
