Below is an mp3 audio file of an isochronic tone brainwave entrainment for a 10hz mid alpha frequency. It is a good starting point for meditation because it is near our waking state, it's easy to bring your brainwave to this alpha state. The tones are embedded with EMDR tones to synchronize the thought processes of your left and right brain.
The carrier frequencies used in this isochronic tone are harmonics of 528hz.
Ways to use this 10hz mid alpha meditation with EMDR
Passive Mode
Try to maintain your focus on the tones. If any stray thoughts surfaces as it usually does, just notice them and bring your focus back to the tones gracefully. Focusing on the tones helps you in subduing the automatic replays of your subconscious which may be negative or positive in nature. You benefit if your subconscious replays the positive energies which are stored within you but if it replays the negative ones, it can affect your reality in a non beneficial way. So subduing the subconscious replays allow your true self to 'speak' and may influence your reality in beneficial ways.
Active Mode
This mode is used when using affirmations with brain wave entrainment. When you keep repeating affirmations during your lower brainwave states, you allow the positive energies stored within your subconscious related to your affirmations to resonate effectively subduing the related negative energies. You can affirm for health, wealth, or any other positive changes you want in your life.
If you want to manifest something in your life, the active mode is the way to go.

8hz is a deep alpha brainwave frequency and is near the Schumann Resonance or the earth's heartbeat which is 7.83hz. It's easy to entrain your brain to this frequency with its continuous beat. Every so often a 'tic' sound will be heard either from the left or right speaker. It alternates at regular intervals to simulate the effects of EMDR. You need headphones for EMDR to work.
Notice the tones and allow it to be your point of focus. Try to stay with it until the end. If any other thought comes to your mind, just acknowledge it and gently go back and focus on the tones. The tone is 15 minutes in length and having a session for even just once a day can give you beneficial effects in the long run.
Meditation decreased activity in area in the brain implicated in a range of neurological disorders
Yale University scientists suggest it could even slow down the onset of dementia
Meditation could help temper the symptoms of ADHD and Alzheimer's scientists say. A
groundbreaking study has revealed that the ancient relaxation technique
can switch off areas of the brain associated with a range of
psychiatric disorders.
It
is now hoped that the findings will shed light on how neurological
diseases work and prompt the development of effective treatment.
Meditation could help temper the symptoms of ADHD and Alzhemeimer's according to scientists from Yale University
Past research has shown meditation, which has become increasingly popular over recent years, has helped people quit smoking, cope with cancer, and even prevent psoriasis.
But scientists at Yale University now believe it can help people to stay focused and boost happiness, slowing down the onset of dementia.
Lead researcher Judson Brewer said: 'Meditation's ability to help people
stay in the moment has been part of philosophical and contemplative
practices for thousands of years.
'Conversely, the hallmarks of many forms of mental
illness is a preoccupation with one's own thoughts, a condition
meditation seems to affect.
Brain scans revealed that meditators had
decreased activity in an area of the brain implicated in a range of
neurological disorders
'This gives us some nice cues as to the
neural mechanisms of how it might be working clinically.'
During
the study, detailed in the Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences, both experienced and novice meditators were monitored as they
practiced three different meditation techniques.
Brain scans revealed that experienced meditators
had decreased activity in area called the default mode
network.
This region of the brain has been implicated in lapses of attention and disorders
such as anxiety, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, and even
the build-up of beta amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease. Reduced
activity was shown regardless of the type meditation and also during
rest, suggesting that experienced meditators are less susceptible
diseases such as autism, schizophrenia.
In a similar vein the University
of Wisconsin is planning a study early next year to investigate the
neurological effects of meditation and yoga with veterans.
It is thought mindfulness
meditation holds promise for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD),
which provokes intrusive thoughts,
emotional numbness and hypervigilance. Mindfulness-based
cognitive therapy (MBCT), which combines meditation with orthodox
'thought training', is already recommended for depression in Britain and is
available on the NHS.
A report published by a mental health charity last year argued that if more GPs could offer the
therapy it would cut the financial burden of
depression, which costs the UK £7.5 billion a year.
