I was recently invited to try two of the most popular ”brainwave entrainment” programs on the market: Neuroprogrammer 2, and Quantum Mind Power, so I’m writing this post as a kind of mini-review to describe my feelings and results with each of them.

The technology at work behind both of these programs is called “brainwave entrainment.” The aim is to actually change the frequency of the electronic impulses in the brain, creating a relaxed, positive state of mind with a healthy feeling of “well being.”

The ”entrainment” effect is created with the use of sound, so the user sits comfortably using headphones and simply listens (no meditation or visualization is necessary). The sound produced varies, but is often a type of low frequency “swooshing” sound, also known as ”binaural beats,” These sounds create the alpha and delta wave patterns associated with relaxation and general feelings of “well being.”

The research is very clear that brainwave entrainment technology does have an affect, so that’s not really the issue. The real question is, how well do these two programs utilize this technology and what are their practical results. In other words, “what difference will they make in your life?” Let’s find out…

The first program I tried was Quantum Mind Power. My first reaction was that QMP was a bit expensive and I wasn’t thrilled about their (seriously too long) sales page, so unfortunately, I probably already had a negative view of it before I even got started.

But I strapped on the headphones to give it a try anyway (remember to ALWAYS use headphones with these programs!). In just a few minutes, one thing became very clear: this thing definitely has an effect. There was a noticeable shift in my thought processes and the way I “felt” that is difficult to explain. I tried describing it to a friend, and the only word I could come up with was “clear.”

But it was an oddly enjoyable sensation, and it made me want to continue listening to it. I felt relaxed, but alert and somehow “healthier” than normal (I don’t quite understand this feeling, as I’m really healthy guy anyway, but it’s the only word that comes to mind).

Overall verdict: weird, unusual, but extremely relaxing and enjoyable.

The second program tried was Neuroprogrammer 2. I had heard pretty good things about it beforehand, so I was expecting I would enjoy this one as well, but surprisingly, it didn’t go as well as I expected.

At first I noticed nothing at all. But after about 7-8 minutes I began to feel a bit anxious…uneasy. A few minutes later I began feeling dizzy and slightly nauseous. After 11 minutes or so I couldn’t take it any more and had to take off the headphones. Once I stopped, the dizziness and nausea faded away very quickly, and in less that two minutes I was back to normal.

Now, I want to state for the record that my results with NP2 could have been unique, and other people may have far greater luck using it. But after my experience, I personally wouldn’t try it again.

Overall verdict:I couldn’t honestly recommend Neuroprogrammer. Perhaps it was just too “intense” for me?

Summary:

I would recommend trying the free demo of Quantum Mind Power. I’m not wild about their sales page, but QMP did have an incredibly positive impact on me.

TIP: if you scroll all the way to the bottom of their sales page (which is waaaay too long ), there’s a link to sign up and get a free demo. The demo is not nearly as effective as the actual program, but it does give you some of the same feelings I mentioned earlier.

Make sure you use headphones!!

Take Care,
