Brain Fasting || Length: 40 minutes
Brain Fasting
|| Length: 40 minutes
|| Purpose: Mental detox, relief from over-stimulation & overthinking, reset.
|| Frequencies: Medium Gamma and high Delta
|| Music: Ambient and pink noise (by Gavin Lawson)
NOTE: This session uses a form of pink noise that sounds like a hiss or rushing water. This is done on purpose and is not a fault in the audio.
Brain fasting is the practice of removing information overload and effort from the brain in a way that results in a mental detox. And this is different from meditation or mindfulness as you will learn. Sometimes meditation isn’t enough.
We know that feeding the body too much food or too much of the wrong type of food leads to illness. And the brain/mind is the same. Because we are surrounded by information bombarding us from every direction. Too much information leads to overwhelm, anxiety, and an inability to make decisions. And too much of the wrong type of information leads to depression, low esteem, and an inability to adapt.
This session uses Gamma combined with high Delta in specific ways to be almost un-noticable. Like a type of modified Ganzfed effect.
The first 5 minutes of the session have some movement and pattern in them to aide in mental dissociation and relaxation. Then the rest of the session is very subtle and with almost no peceptable flicker or frequency. And the same occurs with the music with very little of anything to notice after the first 5 minutes. This is done on purpose so don’t expect amazing visuals or the usual colourful journey.
The result is a type of mental detox like what happens with a food detox.
Expect your mind to flow in and out of hallucinations caused by a state called the hypnagogic or twilight state. These are self generated deep mind images and messages similar to what occurs in dreams. And they may carry with them inspiration or solutions to problems. The key here, is that no effort is required by you to do anything while the mind gets a rest from stimulation.
