How to Be More Creative and 'Think-Out-Of-The Box'

Scientific studies have discovered very specific brainwave states, experienced during periods of peak creativity and idea generation.

These highly creative states enjoyed by artists, designers, inventors and the great thinkers, can now be easily tapped into with Mind Amend's Creativity and Brainstorming sessions.

How to Use

With the exception of the focus session (see comments) listen to these sessions in a quiet, comfortable place, free of distraction, in a chair or lying down. After starting the session, close your eyes and relax.

This session alternates between low beta, alpha and theta frequencies, stimulating creativity but also keeping the user awake and alert. The best way to use this session is to relax, close your eyes and wait for new ideas to surface. Once they do, pause the session, write them down, and resume the session afterward. Some people may also choose to use the session with eyes open, while working on artistic projects.

This session acts to encourage new mental connections and the formation of new ideas. Instead of incorporating a highly structured protocol such as those used in most other session, this session jumps frequencies hundreds of times in an unpredictable and largely random fashion.

This method results in a barrage of different memories, ideas and emotions flowing through the brain, and has proven to be very successful at connecting unrelated concepts to form new and exciting ideas.

This session acts to break the listener out of a mental "box" and encourage new avenues of thought. This session differs from the "Brainstorming" session in that it stimulates each hemisphere individually, creating an even more chaotic mental atmosphere.
