How Can Brainwave Entrainment Boost Your Brain Power? (Part I)

I have mentioned a couple of times on this blog a certain technique that helps increase your IQ and boost your brain power. On this particular post, I will discuss what this technique is and why has it been very popular among many and have been receiving fantastic reviews from its users (including myself). This technique is Brainwave Entrainment and I will be sharing with you what this is all about. I will also discuss the benefits you will get once you start listening to it. Read carefully as this will aide you in boosting your brain power and increasing your IQ. You do want to be smarter right? You do want to ace those tests you’ve been taking in school and get promoted in that job you’ve been eying for so long. You do want a better quality of life, right? Read on…


It’s been a little over 70 years since Brainwave Entrainment has been first put to study. Brainwave Entrainment is all about the electrical responses the brain makes as a response to the rhythmic sensory stimulation, such as pulsation or vibration of light or sound. It’s been used since time immemorial and people don’t even realize this. Notice how calm you feel when you watch a sunrise or sunset? How about when go out for a walk along the beach? How does the sound of the waves affect you? Here in the city, when you go out and party, attend a concert or listen to upbeat music, or perhaps, listen to a Michael Jackson song, how does it make you feel? Even the simple watching of TV is brainwave entrainment in action.


As our brain gets stimulated, either through our eyes, ears or any of the other senses, it tends to emit electrical charges as a response to the stimuli. What you eventually see and hear are those electrical responses that traveled all throughout your brain. These rhythmic stimuli, like the sounds and images being presented to the brain, were the representations of these rhythms. As the rhythms get consistent, it will eventually resemble the natural internal rhythms of the brain or what we call brainwaves. As soon as this happens, our own brain’s electric cycles get synchronized in similar rhythm.


You might be wondering if this kind of mind practice is safe? It definitely is. Brainwaves always get activated no matter what you do. It’s just a matter of channeling these waves properly so you can maximize its full potential. Take for example the recent loss we had in the musical entrertainment industry. The King of Pop just died and all we hear everywhere is his music. Fans all over the world are mourning and listening to his music and watching his videos all the time. By doing so, they are entertaining their brains in some way, perhaps, both in happy and sad ways. Brainwave Entrainment works in a similar manner except that results are more focused and not just for sheer pleasure or enjoyment. However, if you have experienced any serious illness that has got to do with your brainwaves such us seizures, epilepsy, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and any other brain sickness, consult with your physician first before using the Brainwave Entrainment System.


Now, for those who are in the clear of using this system in order to increase your IQ and boost your brain power, you only have to listen to the CD on a regular basis, say, 30 minutes every day for at least two months.


If you want to know how long before the system will take effect, it will actually depend on how receptive you are, how long and how consistently you listen to the CD. But, just like me, it is possible to notice some changes as soon as your first session is over. Concrete positive changes will start showing after about two weeks of continuous listening. What happens is, the more you listen to the brainwave recordings, the faster your brain adapts to it and the easier your brain produces the frequencies in the recordings on its own. It’s like having a last song syndrome of your favorite song or a song you’ve just heard but couldn’t seem to get it out of your mind. Only this time, the effects are more lasting and scientific.


I will continue sharing the benefits and some contraindications about it on my next post. For now, check out the Brainwave site and ponder upon it. Should you have any questions, don’t hesitate to email me at Karen@samuelprime.com.

Five Interesting Facts About The Brain (Part I)

Human brains are actually like super computers. How many times has it been depicted in movies that ultimately, our goal is to be able to produce a human machine similar to that kid in the AI movie with super brain power? Why create something like us when we already have us? Sounds crazy? But the truth is, our human mind can do so many things especially if used in its maximum potential. We can boost our own IQ, in crease our memory and so much more!


For this post, I will share with you some interesting facts about our brain. Aren’t you curious why it’s been the subject of studies for decades now? Even in movies, Frankenstein stole one for his monster, zombies in many horror flicks have sought them out. There really are a lot of amazing things about our brain, you see.


For me, our brain is the most important part of our body. In dying situations, even when the heart beat has been long been gone, if there are still minor impulses detected in the brain, the patient won’t be considered dead…yet. The moment the brain is no longer transmitting impulses, then that’s the time the patient is pronounced clinically dead. Well, think about it… we most often than not take our brains for granted. But without it, how can we process all these information all around us? How can we hear, smell, feel, taste? Actually, without it, we’re nothing. The heart can be transplanted. But the brain? Good luck with that!


Moreover, without the powers our human brains can do, we would’ve probably still be living in the stone age. The only good thing about that would be living in an unspoiled world. But that’s another story.


We wouldn’t be experiencing the countless amazing things we have today --- great cities, electronics, computers, airplanes, jets, ships, etc… We wouldn’t have that hunger for more knowledge and advanced way of life. We wouldn’t know the world as we know it.
Setting aside the power of our minds, the human brain in itself is a very fascinating organ or our body. Here are some facts that will tell you why.


1. Terabyte Storage Capacity

You know what a gigabyte is right? Anybody who ever uses a computer knows what a gig is. But a terabyte is so much more than that. Quantitatively, its storage capacity is equivalent to over a thousand gigs.

Scientific studies have discovered that the human brain is capable of storing information of up to 1,000 terabytes. Imagine Britain’s National Archives which currently stores around 900 years of information for an entire country. That is only equivalent to 70 terabytes. The human brain can do more than that with plenty of storage room to spare! Amazing! Who needs a computer when we can do that? Our brain is so much more powerful than any super advanced computer we have right now. So to those who don’t believe that they have the capacity to learn more, to be smarter, to increase their IQ, well, think again. Maybe, this is what the Catholic Bible means when it was written that humans are created in the image and likeness of God, the creator. We have so much potential for brain power inside of us. We just need to unlock it and use it well. Then we can be like God, making greater and bigger things for the good of mankind.


2. Electricity in our Brain

I remember watching this movie, The Secret, where Bob Proctor said that we have the power to light an entire city for a week. He is right. This is because our brain uses electrical impulses…electrical power, generated by our body, in order to operate.

Even while we are sleeping, our brain uses the same electrical power as that of a 10-watt light bulb. That’s actually the caricature of a man with a light bulb on top if his head came from when depicting the act of thinking. This is also the reason why electrical gadgets and appliances that emit electrical impulses like cell phones, power lines, etc., can obstruct brain functions and cause damage in the long run. So try to stay away from these things when you can.

3. High Speed Electrical Highway

Pain is good, did you know that? It’s a signal that tactile sensations, whether it be pain, heat, or cold is immediately sent from your toe for instance straight to the brain at a speed of 170 miles per hour! This is why we immediately feel these things even if the point of origin is so far from your brain. It gets processed fast, so fast that it’s almost instantaneous. Without it, you won’t notice that your hand is burning or that your foot is getting pricked.


4. Hungry for Oxygen

Our brain is only a small part of our body, 2% to be exact. Yet, it uses 20% of the oxygen we breathe so it can keep on functioning. This is the reason that without oxygen, we die so fast. We can not eat for weeks and survive. We can not drink water for days and live. But a few minutes without oxygen, we die. Because without oxygen, the brain will stop functioning. When it does, those messages that go to and fro our different body parts will stop causing an immediate shut down of our internal organs then we die. The end of life for us. So to all smokers out there or those people who are constantly exposed to fumes and carbon emissions, save your brain and stop smoking, find a different job and change your lifestyle.


5. More Dreams for the Smart Ones

Scientists have studied that those people with higher IQ dream more often. But don’t fret if you are among those who don’t dream at all. Most probably you just don’t remember it. Most of your dreams last only for a few minutes and unless you wake up while we are in REM stage, it would be difficult to remember anything from your dream at all. This is also why you are told to keep a dream diary on your bedside table so you may record it the moment you wake up, if you remember anything at all.


These are just some of the interesting facts about our brain. Knowing these things can help you take care of it more so you may be able to maximize its use. By doing so, you are helping yourself get smarter, have higher IQ and increase your overall brain power.

There are also other ways to help increase your IQ. There's brainwave technique and there's hypnosis. I've tried them before and they worked. Many users have already found them very useful. Check them out and see for yourself.

I will share more in my next post. If you have questions, feel free to email me at Karen@samuelprime.com.

Simple Everyday Ways to Boost Your IQ (Part I)

In my last blog post, I have enumerated some practical ways to increase IQ almost instantly. In this post however, I will be enumerating some more examples that will help increase one’s brain power in the long run. So while you do those that I’ve already mentioned, try to start practicing these new ones for a more lasting and sustainable brain power effect.

Learn Smart
Learning something new (like crafts for example) every now and then helps boost your IQ. Have an inquiring mind and don’t be scared to ask questions to further clarify some of your learning or to simply ask for more information. Take a moment to pause and have a short break. Be mindful that the beginning and ending of a class has a more lasting effect in your memory that any other parts of it.

Exercise Your Brain
Those who tend to dislike Math, now is the time to change the way you feel about it because it is a very good exercise for your brain. Same thing with mnemonics. By assigning an alternative meaning to an object in order to improve recall, you are working out your brain in the process. This, in turn, will help develop neurons and strengthen neural connections which aides in preventing early mental deterioration.

Write, Write, Write
Writing activates the power of recall & memory as it helps in clearing one’s thought processes. Analytical and creative skills are also developed by regular diary entries, making poetry, creating shorts stories, essays, etc.

Speed Reading
You might have some doubt about this exercise but it doesn’t hurt to give it a try. Speed reading involves scanning the whole page of an article. When you do, always remember to read the first and last stanzas because that is where the gist of the story lies. This makes learning and understanding faster.

Make Your Surroundings Conducive
Doing any mental task is a form of exercising your muscles. Isn’t it that when you do physical workout, you prepare the venue, dress up for it and many even go through all the ritual of going to the gym with all the routines and costume changes? It’s the same way with mental exercises. Make sure that you are in an environment conducive to learning. It may be different for each one of you but things as simple as being in a quiet comfortable room, practicing deep breaths, stretching, etc. can prepare your brain in tackling heavy mental tasks.

Rosemary Power
It is believed that the scent of rosemary does wonder for the brain. Though there hasn’t been any scientific data about this, many people have asserted this to be true. If you have rosemary in your spice cupboard, do a little sniffing and see if it’s true. They say it will help stimulate your brain into working faster. It’s safe and you’ve got nothing to lose so give it a go and let me know if it works for you as it did for me.

Care for Creatine?
Creatine, is a naturally occurring organic acid found in vertebrates that gives energy to muscles. It is found in meat and is not just beneficial to athletes who want to build muscles but is also helpful in curing neurological diseases. It has been researched that creatine also aides in improving memory and increasing a person’s level of intelligence. So make sure you include meat in your everyday diet. But be aware also of the recommended dosage which is 5 grams a day.

As I have said earlier, these are just some more ways you can take to help increase your IQ in the long run. Combine these with the other suggestions I have mentioned before like doing Prof. Sevoir Freud's system for instance which truly worked for me and I'm sure will work for you too. There's also the practice of hypnotizing one's self which is a very interesting and exciting path to take with tremendous results of strengthening memory power and IQ! Many people have already enumerated the positive benefits it gives to their IQ. I'm sure it will do the same for you.

Stay tuned for more on my next post. Feel free to email me at Karen@samuelprime.com should you have further inquiries, suggestions and comments.

Practical Steps in Increasing Your I.Q.

I’m sure each one of you would love to know how to increase your IQ. I've already mentioned a bout it in my previous post and I’ve been doing it since before I created this blog. It’s actually the primary reason why I started this blog in the first place --- so I may share with you the steps I’ve been taking to continuously increase my brain power. Now, it’s your turn to put these things to test.

Below are three simple things you can do to increase your IQ:

1. Exercise deep breathing.
2. Be attentive of the way your body moves.
3. Know what your body ingests.

Let me explain these steps further:

Exercise deep breathing.

We all know that we breathe to bring in oxygen to our heart and our blood stream, right? By doing it properly, meaning, deeply, we inhale more oxygen thereby transporting more oxygen to our blood and ultimately to our brain. One sign that will denote if you are breathing deeply is when you feel relaxed. The more relaxed you are, the better improved your brain function will be, for the moment at least. But if you do this regularly, then having an increased I.Q. is just a breath or oxygen away.

Another activity that is related to breathing is doing meditation. When you meditate, you not only breathe deeply but you also focus on it even if it’s just for a just few minutes a day. When you start feeling relaxed and your mind begins to wander, control it and try to focus again on your breathing. For best results, practice meditation at least once a day, in the morning or evening, for a couple of minutes.

If you want to further boost your IQ, try self-hypnosis. It is far more advanced than simply breathing deeply or meditating. Self-hypnosis will help improve your concentration, memory, and daily brain functions. You will think far more clearly than before and your moods will definitely change for the better.

Be attentive of the way your body moves.

One simple thing you can start doing right now is to sit up straight. For most workers, sitting in front of the computer, 8 or so hours a day, is nothing new. But have you noticed how your posture declines as the day progresses? This results in back pain, muscle aches and over fatigue. Be more conscious of how you sit next time. Sit up straight when working and stand up proud when on your feet.

Another step you can take is to do a variety of exercises. It may be stretching or walking or jogging or doing jumping jacks. It can be done when at home or even while at work. Whatever it is that can make your heart beat faster and get the blood pumping will definitely boost your mental powers.

Sleeping well can do wonders to your brain power too! At this day and age, when people seem to take more than they can handle, it is important to remember that sleep does matter too, not just the amount of hours you put in sleeping, but the quality of your sleep as well. You should be able to reach R.E.M. (rapid eye movement) state or dream state in order to get the best benefits. You will know this when you wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Know what your body ingests.

Gingko Biloba has always been known as the best memory enhancer. Students take this (either in tea, leaf or capsule form) when they have exams coming up. Why not take it regularly and see how it gives your brain that much needed boost in memory, concentration and overall psychological wellness?

Drinking coffee is also good most especially when done in moderation like taking just 1 cup a day. The caffeine will surely wake up your sleepy brain cells and give you a good start on your day.

Try not to take in too much sugar for while they may give you instant wakefulness (the so-called “sugar rush”), the effect is only fleeting and is immediately replaced by sluggishness and sleepiness. This is because sugar produces insulin which is then absorbed by your veins that give you the lethargic effect. Carbohydrates are rich in sugar so try to avoid them (rice, pasta, candies, cakes, potatoes, etc.).


These things, as you’ve noticed, are not highly scientific ways of increasing your I.Q. Nevertheless, they are practical and proven ways on how you can boost your mental powers for the time being. But when done on a regular basis, that’s already tantamount to having regular and permanent increase on your respective I.Q.! On my next post, I will give you more steps you can take to further increase your I.Q.

For now, feel free to visit those other sites I talked about and let me know if it's also doing wonders for you. I'd be delighted to hear your thoughts, comments and suggestions on the matter. You may email me at Karen@samuelprime.com.
