Use Nature to access deeper meditative states

For Deep Relaxation, Meditation, Body/Mind Healing and Perception Enhancement

This recording is one long track of a continuous birdsong which sits in a frequency just below the Delta brainwave rhythm.

This Nature’s Brainwave Metronome sound is perfect for for aiding meditation and perception enhancement. It achieves this by helping to slow down brainwave activity to the levels associated with deep relaxation and altered states of consciousness.

Track 1: Birdsong Metronome (70 mins)

 (sample)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note from James Wild about the recording: I recorded this bird sound in a rainforest in Northern Thailand. When I first heard the call I marvelled at how much it was like my previously recorded brainwave metronome sounds. I figured the frequency was somewhere between Theta and Delta. It actually sits closer to Delta which I think is perfect.

The strikingly colourful bird is the coppersmith barbet.

I got several recordings of the bird over a few hours and tidied them up so the sound is consistent for the full 70 mins.

Research information on Brainwave State
Due to the collective electrical activity of neurons, the brain produces a resonant frequency measured in cycles per second or hertz (Hz) called a brainwave state. At any one time the brain produces all frequencies but collectively a dominant one can be measured. The brain is highly dynamic and during the day and night we pass through all states being dependent on our physical and mental activities.

Gamma (40+Hz) associated with a lift in mood, happiness, intelligence and greater feelings of love for oneself and others.
Beta (14+Hz) - everyday working conscious state - as you read these lines you are most likely in the Beta state. 
Alpha (7-14Hz) - a calm relaxed state. Occurs while daydreaming and during light meditation but can also occur when one is focused and mentally alert. Has links to dreaming during sleep, simple problem solving and a positive outlook on life.
Theta (4-7Hz) - for deep meditation, relaxation and exploring psychic phenomena. Associated with creative insight, flashes of intuition, advanced problem solving, altered states, better sleep and boosting immune system function. 
Delta (1-4Hz) - associated with deep sleep and body healing but also linked to benefits of deep meditative states such as profound visions, bliss and altered states. 

Research using techniques known as Biofeedback has shown that an external stimulus (such as the repetitive metronome tone) induces the brain to match the resonant frequency. This enables the subject to access the different levels of brainwave activity. Many people have shown that through practice they can maintain consciousness while accessing the benefits of being in any of these states. These include deep relaxation; more energy and better sleep; enhanced focus and concentration; accelerated learning;  feelings of joy, happiness and compassion; body healing; plus phenomena associated with altered states of consciousness such as out of body experiences, feeling of rebirth, vivid dream recall, an explosion in creativity, strange time/space occurrences and many others.
