Being A Witness
In some of my earlier articles in this series I have stressed on the need to witness your thoughts and feelings. Through the act of witnessing we dis-identify with the mind and obtain some rest from out fretful, anxious selves.
This act of...

How to Meditate
Try this. Close your eyes and try to quiet your mind. Do that now, for just a moment. Then return to the page.
Did you notice that quieting your mind was no easy task? Usually, when I try this, I become anxious and agitated. That happens...
How to Turn Grief into Joy
I was with my daddy when he died. Excuse me, I was with my daddy when his spirit left his body. I drove him to the emergency room because he was having chest pains. He said that they weren’t too bad, and his color was good. He was still walking. ...

Inner Head: Ear Worms & Audio Memes
Inner Head: Ear Worms & Audio Memes
Memes
Memes are "neurological instruction code" of behavior that is passed on from person to person, replicating itself like a virus. The key is that they are self replicating!
Pronounced like "dreams", memes are snippets of memory stored in brains and passed on by imitation or duplication. Examples are tunes, fads, catch-phrases, slogans, culture, superstition, customs, mass hysteria, and so forth.
Audio Memes
Audio memes are neurological code in the output form of sound. For example, a huge sample of adult Americans would likely know the name and subsequent notes to the song, Don't Worry Be Happy, after hearing just the first distinctive note!
Why? It's an audio meme.
Ear Worms
Ear worms are metaphorical creatures in the form of sound. They have a life of their own, and they infect humans much like audio memes. The difference is that they don't stop playing (the tune) inside a person's head. They just keep going, and going, and going...
Earworm: (EER.wurm) n. A song or tune that repeats over and over inside a person's head. Also: ear-worm, ear worm.
Sound Advice
It is apparent, that sounds can drive us crazy. Sounds can drive us "sane", too. Sounds can affect the emotional fabric of our lives, psychologically (mood music), kinesthetically (dance music), and possibly spiritually (alpha-theta combinations found in advanced states of meditation).
Like music, brain wave patterns are measured in frequencies, or pulses of sound. It is a vitally significant breakthrough that you can now utilize sound in ways to most benefit your own well being and development.
Imagine what it must be like to synchronize your brain wave patterns with that of a Zen master during meditation. Well guess what?
Creative genius has been brain-wave mapped, (want to hear it?), to which you may synchronize
your own!
Or would you instead prefer the sound of a loud jackhammer pounding out the city life of sirens, automobile horns and advertising jingles that just keep going and going and going?
If audio memes, ear worms, and background noise comprise your daily dietary intake of "sound food" to your inner body...
...perhaps a more natural "junk-free" high purity resonance of binaural sound frequencies can help clear up the clutter. There's a good list of users that would agree with these fascinating and rejuvenating effects, like me.
In addition, some of the available programs take advantage of these special frequencies to enhance certain experiences with positive and healthful audio imagery. But it's up to you which you prefer.
Listening for a Change
If it turned out that when you got back to your room with these CD's, alone, and you absorbed these sounds and cheerfully discovered, "This is exactly what I needed!" it would wonderfully answer your curiosity, wouldn't it?
And what does health food for your brain actually sound like?
Go to here: http://www.neuroacoustic.com/soundstore/index.htm Click to the left where it says Compact Disks, and then you'll get a selection under that to hear on-line samples.
I don't know if you'll notice that some of these sounds can excite the neurological experience of deep pleasure, and they're a real ecstasy to find too, because you can get high resonant sensations in them for long periods of time.
(But I seriously hope the government doesn't find a way to ban some of these frequencies too soon.) Hear for yourself what I mean. (Stereophones required)
