Hi
I’ve heard that meditation is a very good activity that can cause relaxation. does it have benefits of Brainwave Entrainment?
Brainwave Entrainment can improve memory, heal ADD, Addiction, etc.
does Meditation can cause aforementioned items?
Thanks.
Sorry, never heard of Brainwave Entrainment, but meditation (if done well) is aimed at making our mind healthier. That doesn’t mean everyone can be healed of a serious disease just by meditation, but most people can have benefit on different levels.
For example, in Buddhism, meditation is basically aimed at understanding our own mind, and achieving better control over our mind. Nearly everybody is plagued by negative emotions like anger, (unsatisfied) desire, pride, lack of self-confidence, fear, depression etc., and all these kind of emotions can be reduced by meditation.
How much meditation can help, depends on many things of course; for example: how often someone meditates, is there a physical reason for the problem, and which technique one uses.
Brain studies of long term meditators have suggested a fair bit of similarity, yes. Entrainment is in many ways a short cut -in terms of depth, some have estimated a good set of frequencies is worth 20 years of meditation. The mental discipline and peace that would have been accrued along the way isn’t generally included in that however…
