Designing Brainwave Entrainment Sessions

How to plan your brainwave entrainment session.

Entrainment Path.mp4
Length- how long to make your sessions

Entrainment Media

Brainwave entrainment happens when a steady stimulus, be it a sound, light flicker or touch is presented for a period of time. This is how we create that stimulus.

Isochronic Tones
Tactile Stimulation
Photic Stimulation (light flicker)
Binaural Beats

Background Sound

The right background to your entrainment media can add to the effectiveness of a session- or it can ruin it.

Noise
Ambiance
Music

Welcome!

You have now entered the paid portion of the course. Here is where the fun begins! The first step is downloading the Mind Reaper Configuration and installing it on your computer. The popular Reaper DAW is explicitly customized to be used for creating meditation, hypnosis, and esoteric sessions using audiovisual stimulation and vibration brainwave entrainment. The first part will teach you all you need to know to make high-quality, professional sessions that effectively shift brainwave patterns into altered states.

I have added a Quickstart minicourse for those who do not want to learn everything about brainwave entrainment sessions and want to create or modify a simple session. Everything in that course is covered in-depth here, but you may find it helpful. Please message me for a coupon code for free access.

Creating Isochronic Tones

Probably the most iconic and easiest method of producing entrainment is embedding pulsing tones into a background of pink noise, ambiance or music. It is very effective- one of the most powerful entrainment tools we have for audio.

Controlling Parameters

There are two ways to control parameters over the timeline; automation lanes and MIDI items.

Binaural Beats

Many people believe all BWE sessions are binaural beats. Binaural beats are just one tool for the brainwave entrainment technologist!

Photic Entrainment (light flickers)

Using a light and sound "mind machine" greatly increases the effectiveness of entrainment sessions. Because most machines use ultrasonic tones to control light, it is easily programmed with Mind Reaper.
