Isochronic Tones And Brainwave Synchronization: Why Should You Use Them?

Are you aware that using isochronic tone recordings may help you to think more creatively, feel more energetic and be more motivated to achieve your goals? Not to mention helping you tap into your hidden mind powers, such as remote viewing, clairvoyance, manifestational abilities and much more!

If you want to know more about isochronic tones, then keep reading, because it’s worth your while to learn about this increasingly popular technology.

What Are Isochronic Tones?

Isochronic tones are an type of brainwave entrainment technology, and consist of a series of rapidly repeating sound pulses. These pulses have specific frequencies, which change depending on the function of the recording. By listening to an isochronic tone track, it can be much easier to experience specific mental states.

Keep reading for a more detailed look at what brainwave entrainment involves. Then after that we’ll discuss isochronic tones specifically.

How Does Brainwave Entrainment Work?

When the brain is exposed to a stimulus that repeats periodically, such pulses of light or sound, it will tend to produce similar frequency brainwaves (assuming that the stimulus frequency is within the brain’s own natural range). This is referred to as the ‘frequency following response’.

Devices such as the electroencephalogram (EEG) are used to measure brainwaves, and like other types of waveform, their frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz), or cycles per second. Brain waves are classified in terms of frequency bands, each of which is related to particular states of consciousness. The generally recognized frequency bands are:

Delta brainwaves ( < 4Hz)

Delta brain waves are very low in frequency, and predominate during dreamless sleep, which is when bodily regeneration takes place. There are people who can sustain a trance state in which delta waves predominate while they’re still awake, although this is uncommon. In such cases, delta waves may be associated with various psychic abilities and altered states.

Theta brainwaves (4 – 8Hz)

Theta wave production is also associated with trance states and a number of metaphysical abilities, along with self-hypnosis and deep meditation. The subconscious mind may be easier to access in the theta state, making it useful for gaining insights and changing old beliefs. Also, theta waves predominate during REM (dreaming) sleep.

Alpha brainwaves (8 – 12 Hz)

Alpha waves are created when we’re relaxed and unfocused, and also when the eyes close. They’re linked with improved creativity and feelings of well-being.

Beta brainwaves (> 13Hz)

Beta waves are linked with a state of alertness, such as that which we experience during normal waking consciousness, and they predominate when we’re focusing on things that require our complete attention.

Be aware that the divisions between these frequency ranges are sometimes disputed, so the frequency values may overlap.

How Brainwave Synchronization Can Help You In Day To Day Life

The great benefit of brainwave synchronization is that it may help you to more easily reach certain states of consciousness or tap into specific mental abilities. For example, you might want to be able to hypnotize yourself at will. Whereas it can normally take a lot of practice to become adept at self-hypnosis, by listening to an appropriate brainwave synchronization track, you may be able to enter a self-induced hypnotic state much faster and more easily, thanks to the frequency following response.

The is true for other states too, and as a result, brainwave entrainment is an awesome tool for adjusting your state of consciousness as you desire, without needing to spend a long time learning mind control techniques.

Listening to brainwave entrainment downloads is a straightforward, inexpensive and very powerful way to utilise the technology. There are three principal sound-based entrainment methods: binaural beats, monaural beats and isochronic tones.

Isochronic Tones Vs Binaural Beats Vs Monaural Beats

These three methods all work somewhat differently, although all can be very powerful.

Binaural beats are the oldest and best known form of brainwave entrainment. When listening to binaural beats, you use headphones, and each ear receives a pure sine wave tone of a specific frequency. The brain then combines the two original tones, and creates a pulse, or ‘beat’. This beat repeats at a rate equal to the frequency difference between the pitches of the two tones. For example, let’s say the right ear receives a tone of 325Hz, and the other ear a tone of 330Hz. There is a difference of 5Hz between these tones, so the brain produces a 5Hz beat, and it then entrains to this frequency (which is in the theta brainwave range). So it’s apparent that that by changing the frequency of the tones each ear hears, you can specify the frequency of the tone that the brain generates and entrains with.

In the case of monaural beats, the two sine waves are blended before they reach the ear, meaning that the blended tone is ‘ready made’ , and doesn’t need to be generated by the brain. A lot of people find that monaural beats are a more effective entrainment method than binaural beats, possibly because the brain doesn’t need to do the extra work involved with producing the tone itself. In contrast to binaural beats, you don’t have to use headphones when using monaural beats.

Isochronic tone recordings feature just one tone, which is turned on and off in rapid succession. They’re different from monaural beats in that there’s a distinct gap in between every tone – this interval of silence appears to make it particularly easy for the brain to entrain to isochronic tones.

Should You Choose Isochronic Tones For Brainwave Entrainment?

Due to their clearly separated nature and the way it’s so easy for the brain to match the pulse, isochronic tones are considered the brainwave synchronization technique of choice by a lot of people.

Having said that, many find that isochronic tones (and monaural beats too) aren’t as useful for delta synchronisation. At lower frequencies the tones start to sound rather jagged, and may be irritating and distracting. Unlike binaural beats, isochronic tones aren’t able to be entirely hidden by music or sound effects, because they need to remain audible to work. Consequently, many brainwave entrainment fans choose to stick with binaural beats when working with delta frequencies instead.

So, you can see that isochronic tones are great for synchronizing with the higher frequencies, but may not give you the same results with delta entrainment work. However, it’s always a good idea to experiment and see what works best for you – you might discover that they work ok at delta frequencies, or you may well decide you prefer monaural or binaural beats – you won’t find out unless you try!

Some Of The Benefits Of Isochronic Tones

Isochronic tones aren’t yet as widely known or commonly used as binaural beats (which are an older technology), but they are becoming increasingly more popular. Below are just some of the things that isochronic tones are used for:

  • Improving your memory
  • Tapping into your creativity
  • Beating insomnia
  • Anxiety reduction
  • Accessing psychic abilities like remote viewing, clairvoyance etc
  • Increasing energy
  • Out of body experience
  • Achieving Christ Consciousness
  • Better self-hypnosis sessions
  • Balancing your chakras
  • Exploring past lives
  • Lucid dreaming
  • Beating addictions
  • Releasing endorphins
  • Getting and staying motivated
  • …and many more!

Isochronic tones are so valuable because just about everything we desire to do and experience is associated with a certain mental state. And since these different states are linked to the creation of brainwaves of particular frequencies, the use of sounds that trigger these frequencies in the brain may help you to access the state you want at will. Similar results can be achieved by learning mind control techniques, but this usually requires a lot of time to master; brainwave entrainment just helps to make the entire process a great deal quicker and simpler.

Do Isochronic Tones Work Every Time?

Frankly, no – not all people get the results they desire from isochronic tones (or other brainwave synchronization methods) every time. There are many reasons why this might be: they may have some resistance to brainwave synchronization; they might not practice on a regular basis and give up too early; some don’t use the best type of entrainment technique for them; some use bad quality recordings, etc.

I’ve personally had excellent results from using brainwave entrainment, but most of these didn’t occur immediately – I listened to the recordings regularly, and progressively tapped into their potential, as I became accustomed to the process and started allowing them to work. Isochronic tones and other brainwave synchronisation techniques can be very powerful, but they’re not a magic pill, and you need to do your part – be willing to practice and focus, and don’t think you can just listen to a track and experience great results if you’re allowing your mind to wander all over the place and not making the effort to listen consistently.

Finding Top Quality Isochronic Recordings

If you decide to try out isochronic tones, it’s vital to use quality recordings – otherwise you’ll just be wasting your precious time. I personally like the Unexplainable Store’s alpha and theta meditation recordings. This is a well-established and popular site, and all the products are guaranteed. These tracks are available as binaural and monaural beats too. In addition, there are some free samples to download.
