Creative Solutions 30 minutes
Creative solutions
|| Length: 30 minutes
|| Purpose: (Mild-medium Cyberdelic) Creative inspiration, problem solving, think-itation (meditative thinking)
|| Frequencies: 40Hz, 7.83Hz Gamma plus mixed Alpha, SMR and Beta
Creative solutions is designed to take advantage of three factors of creativity.
1) The brainwaves of creative thinking and problem solving (mainly Alpha and SMR with Gamma spikes)
2) Cyberdelic & trance states and creativity (Beta waves, hypnagogia and the suspension of the default mode network
3) Cognitive enhancement brainwaves (Gamma waves interacting with the others)
Creativity isn't just reserved for scientists and artists. The ability to be creative in thought and expression is considered a fundamental part of evolving as a person. Some people consider themselves to not be creative at all and I would say that this is nothing more than a limiting belief worth letting go of.
There are, however, ways of improving your creativity and just as importantly learning to enjoy being creative.
If you haven't yet read the articles on the main website called 'Become a creative genius' then please do so as knowledge is power when it comes to state management.

Most creativity comes from a divergent way of thinking that is very expansive in it's approach. This style of thinking is trance like in it's nature and tends to switch off the brains default mode network for periods of time. The default mode network is the part of the brain that has us associate as an individual. In a very simplistic sense, it is responsible for us being us, and not a just part of a collective and incapable of individual thinking.
The interplay between this divergent thinking style of free-flowing thought and unlimited possibility, and a more convergent thinking style (which has more referencing to existing idea's), creates the opportunity for creativity.
For example, you may already know the story of an experiment that took place years ago to create a permanent adhesive that would never let go. After many attempts the only reliable result they got was an adhesive that was not only not permanent, but wasn't even strong. The experiment was a failure.
However, in a moment of inspiration from free-flowing daydreaming type thinking, the use of a non-permanent adhesive was born - Post it notes! Small pads of paper, each piece of which has a sticky part that can be moved repeatedly without loss of stickiness.
And re-sealable packaging and other uses have followed, all from taking an existing idea and letting the imagination of creative thinking flow.
Creativity is often like that. The idea's come to you almost in the very moments when you consciously stop thinking about the problem or task. What is in front of you as accepted knowledge, gets put to the side as you let your mind go wherever it may take you.
This session is therefore to encourage this style of free flow thinking. It can be used as an idea generator for a specific task or problem, or simply as a way to enter the realm of creative thought and creative trance states.
The Cyberdelic effects are also quite unique resulting in a different type of journey than most sessions.
The first 5 minutes is the Schumann resonance (Theta) harmonically matched to it's upper Beta frequency to get you into a hypnagogic state. The next 15 minutes is visual effects that repeatedly fade off into 40Hz Gamma for the Cyberdelic effect blended with cognitive flow. The last 10 minutes is 40Hz Gamma and Alpha to consolidate the first two sections with enhanced thinking power. Combined the result is a unique state that is part relaxing and part stimulating.
Enjoyable in it's own right, but obviously useful for creative thought also.
