    "There's a revolution going on. The present era in neuro-science is comparable to the time

    when Louis Pasteur first found out that germs cause disease."

    Vincent Giampapa, M.D. of Longevity Institute International and vice president of theAmerican Society of Anti-Aging Medicine, reveals that placing a listener in the alpha, theta,

    and delta brain wave patterns dramatically affect production of three important hormones

    related to both increased longevity and physical well-being: Cortisol, DHEA, and melatonin.

    Cortisol is the major age-accelerating hormone within the brain. It also interferes with

    learning and memory and is, in general, bad news for your health and your well-being.DHEA

    levels are a key determinant of physiological age and resistance to disease. When DHEA

    levels are low, you're more susceptible to aging and disease; when they're high, the body is at

    its peak -- vibrant, healthy, and able to combat disease effectively.

    Improved Mental CapabilityA study by Dr Siegfried Othmer, international leader in the field of neurofeedback and

    brainwave training, led him to conclude that brainwave training has exceptional effects on

    intelligence. On average, individuals experienced a 23% increase in IQ. Individuals that

    began brainwave training with IQ levels that were less than 100 have been shown to enjoy IQ

    gains of 33 points on average, in addition to significant improvements in reading

    comprehension, memory related tasks and logic handling abilities. A year later, a follow up

    with those involved in the study found major improvements in self concept, creativity and

    concentration.

    A study by Thomas Budzynski, Ph.D found that college students who used brainwave

    training technology drastically out performed those that did not in both academic tasks and by

    GPA.

    An M.D. associated with Dr. Siegfried Othmer used brainwave training to treat a boy with an

    IQ of 70 who was labeled as mildly retarded. A year later this boy was retested and the

    improvements were startling; he scored 60% higher with an IQ of 112. This specific case is

    consistent with a myriad of similar cases that have been documented with children with sub

    90 IQ scores. Dr. Siegfried Othmer says that "brainwave training clearly facilitates the

    organization of mental functioning."

    A 2003 study at Imperial College in London supports the notion that brainwave training

    improves cognition. Neuroscientists Tobias Egner and John H. Gruzelier recruited test

    subjects at the Royal College of Music, London's elite school for promising young musicians.

    Some of the subjects learned, via feedback on a computer screen, how to control the slow

    waves in the alpha and theta ranges. After neurofeedback, the musicians' abilities had grown

    enormously, according to expert evaluators.

    How you benefit from various brainwave frequencies are listed in the following chart.The LifeFlow levels which incorporate these benefits, Gamma Tracks (Awaken and Nirvana)

    I hope this gives you a clearer understanding of the tremendous benefits you can achieve

    through LifeFlow audio technology and how it can be an amazing lifelong aid to you.

    Thousands of people around the globe are enjoying tremendous benefits from LifeFlow and

    Im committed to making this system affordable so it can be in the home of anyone whos

    dealing with stress, emotional problems or for people who want to dramatically improve their

    lives.

    When the fight or flight response happens our brain waves move into the higher Beta waves,

    producing heaps of cortisol which is known as the stress hormone and is extremely bad for your

    health.

    When we are in this state our blood flow is directed away from the brain and sent toward the

    periphery of the body, our bloodstream is flooded with sugar, our heart rate, blood pressure and

    breathing, rapidly increases, enabling us to prepare to defend ourselves by fighting or fleeing a

    dangerous situation.

    In this state, learning ability, as well as other mental functions including problem solving andreasoning ability are inhibited. This response is incredible and can indeed be life-saving.

    Howevermany people experience this response on a regular basis through pressure at work, traffic

    jams, relationships and many more situations that are not life-threatening.

    To be in this state (increased blood pressure etc.) and not have to fight or run for our life is

    extremely disabling and explains why stress is indeed the biggest killer.

    What we need to create in our lives is the relaxation response. Regular practise of meditation will

    induce the production in the brain of alpha and theta brain waves, which will then reduce our heart

    rate and blood pressure, relax muscles, and increase the quantity of oxygen flow to the brain.
