Balance - 12Hz Alpha

This song uses 12Hz Alpha wave binaural beats to help you enter a state of "relaxed wakefulness". The brain usually wakes up into a more alert beta state to take on the stresses of the day, and that is where we usually remain for most of the our waking life. Alpha brainwaves are associated with a calm and at ease state; pain and stress are reduced, and mental functioning is alert, but in a very relaxed way, akin to a zen archer as he shoots his arrow. Mental co-ordination is improved and information is absorbed with less barriers, making the alpha state ideal for affirmations and desirable for hypnosis.

Benefits of Alpha wave brainwave entrainment:
- Achieve a more relaxed and calm state of mind. Great for switching off a hurried mind after a busy day
- Use in conjunction with positive affirmations to enhance results, and to break though subconscious barriers quicker
- Reduce stress and pain
- Increase creativity, intuition, and problem solving
- Enhance immune system functioning and lessen stress related illness
- Mood and emotional stability due to serotonin release 

The alpha state is more prevalent in practitioners of meditation, who are able to function amidst chaos while remaining calm and relaxed. Alpha brainwaves can be increased by closing the eyes (sensory deprivation), and through deep breathing and yoga exercises, as well as by using binaural beats. They are among the most desirable of all for brainwave entrainment. Source: http://fractalpanda.com/alpha-brain-waves/
