| Megabrain by Michael Hutchison |

Highly Recommended. |
The sourcebook for those getting started with
entrainment, or those just wondering whether there's anything to it at
all. Michael surveys the research and interview those involved in both
light and sound entrainment and other processes intended to alter the
states of human consciousness. Ever heard of (and dismissed) the
floatation tanks where people lie in the dark effectively in a
weightless state? Me too, but there are some interesting physiological
effects that come from those experiences ...

The
Awakened Mind by James Mann |
|
|
Highly Recommended. |
This is THE sourcebook for those intending to understand the mechanics of designing audio entrainment sessions. James surveys the theories relating what's happening during entrainment and the combines this with his own research results into particular frequencies and the effects of combining them. If you thought a auditory session was simply a matter of having a theta signal on a tape for half an hour or so, this will work, but you're missing out on so much ... Order this directly from Jim Mann, not Amazon.

Performance Mind by Anna Wise |
|
Highly recommended |
Anna discusses the use of the "Mind Mirror" - a real-time
EEG display of what's happening in a person's brain in terms of alpha,
beta, theta and delta waves, rather than the usual squiggly lines on a
graph. She goes through many different activities, and shows the
corresponding mental state. This is most valuable if you're designing
light and sound entrainment sessions - it gives you an idea of how to
achieve the target state you're aiming for. This is especially
applicable for sessions that have multiple entrainments happening
simultaneously. It also has a chapter on Kundalini awakening, her
experiences of it, the effects and how to handle them.
