CD's with binaural beat technology are a great tool to use in meditation. That being said, not all CD's are the same. "Dr." Jeffrey Thompson flaunts his chiropractic degree in the title of his albums, but his background does not lend much skill to his abilities as either a neurologist or music composer. I have both "Awakened Mind" and "Gamma Meditation." Basically, both of the CD's I purchased from this group are nothing but an endless and monotonous series of tones that cannot hold the attention long enough to acheive the desired affect. I did, however, listen to each album a minimum of five times to give them a fair trial... the effect was minimal compared to other CD's in my collection. Putting one to sleep is not the same as putting one in a meditative state! One extra star, however, for assisting me nicely in meditation while under the influence of alcohol...good listening for drunks?

Hi,
I had been wanting to purchase a CD for a while that had different frequencies on it that could induce a different brain state for me. Years ago I purchased a CD by "Brainsync" however I found this quite ineffective.
So I read as much as I could on the net about the different systems out there: holosync- expensive & you must listen for an hour a day & I'm told through headphones, binaural beats website- seems good however there is no technical research or expertise to back up how good the cd's are.
So that leaves hemisync which has been based on good solid research & Dr Jeffery Thompsons work. From what I have read Dr Thompson seems to have a good understanding on how sound waves can be modulated and layered to create various effects. He calls this brain entrainment.
The first time I put on the CD a lot of tension I had in my neck went, and I have noticed when I have put on the music the chatter in my mind seems to clear & I feel more present. I feel like since listening to the cd I am changing in some way in terms of perceiving things from a more objective stance and I guess I feel a bit nervous about this as I used to more mind chatter!
I've been playing it though my stereo speakers in the background whilst I'm doing things in my place, however I've recently been sitting down & listening to it through headphones which I've found even more effective.
So I would highly recommend the CD, but just beware you may feel different without as much old mind chatter! (probably a good thing though)
Out of all the brain entrainment CD's out there I would say for the price & comparable other systems Dr Thompson's seems to have the most technical work behind it to produce the desired effect.
I am now interested however in Hemisync as I have noted they have more specific titles to work on different aspects in your life. The only disadvantage I would see with Hemisync though is that there is a verbal commentary with a lot of the specific cd's which means you have to listen to all of it, hence why I first bought the Awakended mind cd as you can play it & stop it at any point.

Awakened Mind System 2.0 was my first of Dr. Thompson's CDs, which I found while researching using binaural beats technology to enhance meditation. The sample tracks sounded pleasant to me and I was curious, so I placed the order. I am very pleased with the purchase.
I have some moderate experience with meditation and guided visualization, and from my earliest listenings of AMS 2.0 I noticed a difference in my relaxation and ability to turn inward. One of the suggested uses is to listen to these recordings during normal activities. However, I found the most enjoyment from falling asleep while listening, either at bedtime or just for a nap any other time. I seemed to awaken refreshed each time.
When used for meditation, I found that occasionally I would feel interesting sensations as I relaxed and focused deeper...I could feel buzzing of vibrations in my hands and feet, and sometimes it felt as if the bed jostled. If I'd hadn't experienced or read about these things before it might have been frightening. My mood was also elevated during this time, not because of the CD, but it was a good time in my daily life and I think that affected my sessions with this CD, and using the CD perpetuated the whole process.
I also find that the music is exactly to my taste, another good thing. I find that this particular type of loose, swirls of musical washes, pads, and tones is effective for meditating.
it's as good as everyone's saying April 12, 2008

hey, if it's the placebo effect, then so be it... but this CD is great. after reading the great reviews on here, i had to give it a shot, and it's really as good as the glowing reviews! definitely use headphones. i've got a few other jeffrey thompson CDs and this is one of my favorites, for sure.

I just came to Amazon searching for anything else Dr. Thompson had similiar to the Awakened Mind System. I've been using the CDs for a while now and I really love the way they make me feel. Especially great on a busy, stressed day to help return me to my natural state and become calm and centered again. I just emailed someone about the CDs and wrote that they help ground me while letting me feel like I could fly. Prefer to listen with headphones, seems to take it to a higher level for me.
