HoloThink Review: It’s not WHAT You Think, It’s HOW You Think

Friday, November 27th, 2009 Subscribe To Our Feed

In the last decade, brain science has taken huge leaps forward, and now many researchers believe that our mental and physical health is affected by certain sound frequencies. How sound waves affect the brain is called by different names, including “neurotechnology,” “entrainment,” and “Binaural Effect,” each of them being employed for things that range from diagnosing illness, to conquering phobias, anxiety and panic disorder.. HoloThink is an audio program based on the premise of simply listening. Yes, that’s correct – by simply listening.

Beyond the Spa
Subliminal messages are those things you cannot hear, but that your brain absorbs anyway, and that’s just one example of the amazing feats the electrical activity between your ears and your brain are constantly working. Forget what you may be thinking about Twilight Zone hocus-pocus. What do you think the medical tests known as “EEGs” measure? ‘EEG’ stands for electroencephalography – note the “electro” in the prefix. More and more hospitals are incorporating whole-body and holistic approaches into illness, surgery and trauma recovery, and audio-therapy is on the rise in step-down units. Rehabilitation facilities, in particular, are pulling in relaxation audio during therapy.

Built-in speakers in specially designed sound tables are just one way that scientists and medical professionals have taken this to the next level.

This has become an excellent replacement for a form of anesthesia known as pain management, which has historically included being injected with cortisone and steroids among other drugs, and nowadays, a patient being treated for chronic pain sometimes h as the option of simply lying on a table and listening to certain sound frequencies. (Those who shy away from needles find this particularly comforting.)

In August 2008, the musicians from the Cleveland Orchestra got together with the Cleveland clinic to study in more depth how music affects our brains, lending credence to the science. It’s no secret that music can move people in profound emotional ways (which is why some of us cry during opera), so why not apply that theory to helping people overcome anxiety and panic disorders through certain frequencies and types of music? This is the entire premise of HoloThink.

Understanding the Program
HoloThink is made up of a sixty-minute audio file that imparts tranquility to the listener. Even if you are not one for classical music or popular “spa music”; even if you prefer rap to country, and rock and roll to the blues, you can listen to this stuff. Give the ten-minute free trial a chance to see if it refreshes you. The HoloThink audio files are available for immediate download, which means they can start to work for you immediately. Listen at home, listen in your car, or put your headphones on for ten minutes at work and feel the benefit of a quick attitude adjustment.

I had to see if it worked before I invested in the program (and the investment is minimal – currently only .00 for the program), so I requested, received, and listened to the ten-minute trial. I’ve had spa treatments and massage before, and I found this to be very similar to the soothing music played during such treatments. During my listening experience, it was easy to close my eyes and ship away all my stress and that just in ten minutes – imagine what a full hour can do for you. The website likens the experience to a “mental bath” and that seems fairly accurate; it is very refreshing.

It’s interesting that while your brain works to synchronize the left and right input of the sounds on the audio file, it makes you hear things that are not really on the file, but are coming from inside your own brain. These can sound like waves crashing against the shore, or rolling thunder, and it reinforces what a strong influence sound has on our brains.

The Benefits
Even though HoloThink does not claim to cure panic disorder, phobias or generalized anxiety disorder, it should be a part of any program that does seek to do so. You can easily incorporate this program into whatever daily regimen you practice for breathing and relaxation exercises. These audio files are truly amazing and inspiring in the tranquility they impart.

To complete your program of de-stressing, listen to this as described above while doing your relaxation and breathing exercises for the recommended twenty to thirty minutes every day. A complete relaxation experience can include a warm bath, candles or soft lighting and the HoloThink track.

This program can be easily taken with you everywhere you go on your transportable music device (MP3, iPOD, or iPhone) and can be used to ward off panic and anxiety attacks. Just ten minutes of this program can potentially save you from having thirty or so minutes of a mind crushing panic or anxiety attack. The best thing about it is that you can do it anywhere – all you need is a device that will play the music and headphones on which to listen to it. Plugging in and listening during your lunch time can help ease the stress that you may feel each day around that time. That is really all you need to do so that you can return to your workstation reenergized, refreshed, and ready to face the rest of your work day.

HoloThink is a program that can help anyone who can hear. The price is the equivalent of two unhealthy fast food meals (bad for you anyway), and the return on investment is remarkable. You simply must incorporate this program into your personalized routine for beating panic and anxiety.
