We would like to give you an overall orientation to the process. There are some basic things to take in account as you prepare for your sessions.
We recommend that you arrive at least 5 minutes early to your appointments. If clients are late, we may need to cut time and/or protocol from the session. If clients are more than 10 minutes late, they may have to forfeit the entire session and the cost involved. We appreciate your anticipated cooperation in this matter.
Each session is conducted in a private, comfortable room. This private room has a small desk and chair for the trainer, and a very comfortable anti-gravity chair for you. Your trainer will explain the results of your assessment and provide instructions for your sessions based upon the desired results. You won’t need to think about this, your brain will catch on very quickly and will work to balance itself. During a training session your trainer will run a number of protocols structured just for you. Some protocols require you to watch the screen, others allow you to close your eyes and recline in the chair. Your trainer will explain as you begin each segment of the training. During the sessions we encourage you to stay as relaxed as possible without falling asleep. Your brain is most capable of receiving information and changing accordingly while in this state. If you find yourself falling asleep, simply wake yourself up a little and relax. It is common for people to fall asleep during their initial training. Many people are sleep deprived and as soon as the brain recognizes itself, it starts working to balance itself immediately. This is hard work for your brain and requires a good amount of energy. Some people respond by sleeping. Not to worry, your brain is still receiving the information needed to balance itself.
Similarly, if you begin to get anxious and worried about what is happening on the screen the higher frequencies tend to rise which makes change a little more difficult. Please do not worry too much about what is happening on the screen. Remember that the screen is merely reflecting the activity of your brain while you are training. The brain does not reject what it has learned during the session, but continues to work at balance and harmony even after you leave the office.
Many people will have more profound changes in between sessions as the brain works to integrate the information it has been given. It is important to keep your trainer informed about the experiences you have. Sharing your experience allows them to accurately understand the way you respond and adjust protocols throughout your training sessions accordingly. Depending on your needs, protocols may stay the same or change regularly. Many of our clients find it helpful to take notes or keep a journal beginning with their first day of training and continuing for one month after completion.
If you have questions throughout the process feel free to ask your trainer. They will be able to answer your questions or direct them to the appropriate person.
- We ask that you complete the subjective and objective surveys prior to your arrival. The surveys will be emailed to you by the person booking your appointments.
- Upon arrival please check in at the front office and make your payment arrangements for the specific training package you have booked. Please provide your completed two surveys, otherwise you would need to complete these before you begin your assessment. Please also fill out all the additional personal information and informed consent & hold harmless paperwork at this time.
- : This is the first step in the training process. The assessment helps us to see how the patterns of energy are laid out in your brain. Each brain is like a fingerprint – unique to you as an individual. Using non-invasive electrodes, your trainer will collect data from seven different areas of the brain while the brain is at rest and on task. That data is processed together with the surveys you had completed to generate protocols that we will use to help balance the energy patterns in your brain.
- : Your trainer will be looking over the information gathered from your assessment and the surveys you completed. Afterwards, before starting your first training session, the trainer will discuss with you the results of your assessment, your goals, and how we will be working with you individually. At this time, you could bring up any questions you might have about the training process or about the paperwork you have completed, and then you’ll be ready to start your training sessions.
- Training Sessions: Training sessions consist of 5 - 7 protocols that are designed to help balance your brain. The trainer will place the electrodes at various points on your head. During each protocol you will be listening to your own brain waves set to musical notes, as well as other sounds meant to encourage the brain towards a more balanced state. Intensives have proven to be one of the best methods to train the brain for new neuro-pathways. For the first few sessions, a brain training session will allow newly created pathways to dominate for a period of time – 24 to 48 hours – and then the older, more established pathway will usually return. However, in an intensive, the old pathway does not have an opportunity to regain dominance and therefore the newly created pathway has an opportunity to extend itself more fully and more quickly than in a training based on a once a week effort.
- : At the end of your last session, your trainer will review with you the progress you have made and what you can expect from there. Results are generally subtle at first and then they build over time. Many clients notice the most significant changes 2-3 weeks after completing training. In order for us to track your progress we will ask you retake the subjective and objective surveys in 3 months. The trainer will follow-up with you in three weeks, and then again in three months after completing your training at BrainWave Balance. The follow-up will be by e-mail and/or by phone. However, please feel free to e-mail us at anytime to tell us how you are doing!
- : There will be three total surveys that you will take. The first survey will be before your assessment. The second survey will be during our first follow-up contact at approximately three weeks after your completed intensive. The third survey will be at approximately three months after your intensive during our second follow-up contact. These will all be the same surveys. This allows us to see where changes have occurred and track your progress.
