~ beautiful music that has effects beyond music ~

Beyond Dreams is beautiful music that has effects beyond music - it features precisely crafted sonic effects based on scientific research to enhance your body and brain response. The body is rhythmic - from foundational rhythms like the 11 second feedback loop between brainstem and heart, to the heartbeat, to brainwaves we pulse with rhythmic energy. As music is rhythmic, it can subtly synchronize and regulate body rhythms. In this album, carefully designed sound supports the regularity of the brain-heart connection, serves to slow the heart rate to transcend stress, and nudges brainwaves into a state of deep relaxation, meditation, or even sleep. In this album, musical elements of melodic motion entrain brainwave response at theta and delta frequencies to allow a deep relaxed state. The flow of the naturally relaxing, de-stressing, sleepy music is underpinned with a foundation of potent low frequency sound in the gamma range of brain activity. Gamma brain frequency in the 30 - 40Hz range has recently been shown to be crucially responsible for brain connectivity to support internal circuits responsible for emotion, movement, consciousness and cognition, and memory. This album features strong pulsations in the 30 - 40Hz range to support those key brain functions, and the experience can be enhanced with a vibroacoustic device. So sit back and listen as this powerful music takes you to a place of deep rejuvenating calm.
