Creativity & Focus – Creative Thinking & Problem Solving for Study

About the Download

This study aid can be used for work, study, meditation and creative visualisation. Alternating sequences of Beta, Alpha and Theta waves are used to encourage fluid and abstract creative thinking (Alpha & Theta phases), while at the same time maintaining a state of focus and alertness (Beta) for effective problem solving and high level information processing.

SPECS

Each session lasts one hour – the frequencies cycle through the following bands every 5 minutes.

Beta (12Hz) → Alpha (8-8.5hz) → Beta (13Hz) → Theta (7-7.5hz) → Beta (14hz) → Alpha (10hz) → Beta (14.5hz) → Theta (7-7.5hz) → Beta (15hz) → Alpha (10hz) → Beta (15.5hz) → Theta (7-7.5hz)

By alternating between beta and theta/alpha, we can promote a fine balance between concrete, intellectual thought and fluid mind states which encourage creative abstraction. Using this method of brainwave entrainment, we can generate new & original ideas, contemplate a concept from various points of view, and problem solve holistically. The beta phases scattered throughout serve to not only promote focus and concentration, but to also objectively analyse and organise the ideas derived from the non linear, holistic mind states induced by Theta and Alpha.

In addition to using this audio during work or study, it can also be used for meditation or creative visualisation.

 

HOW DO I LISTEN?

Headphones are recommended for best results. Listen at a quiet volume, or a level that you find comfortable and non-intrusive. Listen during study or any task which requires focus and ‘out-of-the-box’ thinking. The addition of alpha and theta waves means that you can also use this session for creative visualisation, for which is a rested state is ideal.
