NeuroBreak….The Latest Innovation for Today’s Meditation

Jan. 17, 2013 - PRLog -- Schaumburg, IL (NexNeuro LLC) -- One of the hottest ways for reducing stress today is actually one of the oldest: meditation. Once considered an alternative activity for the nonconformists of the world, it is quickly becoming more main-stream. Corporate executives, attorneys, physicians and people from all different walks of life are engaging in the practice of meditation because it is a scientifically proven stress reliever that really works!

Meditation is more than just a fad. It’s making the rounds at corporations, doctor’s offices, hospitals and even schools in ever increasing numbers. But, contrary to what some might still imagine, it no longer centers around chanting "Om" while sitting on a cushion with closed eyes. Instead, today’s meditators pay attention to their thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations often with the aid of sophisticated brain entrainment technology.  

“Finding the time and the place to get away from it all and practice meditative techniques can be quite challenging,” says Ed Bender, founder and CEO of the Schaumburg, IL-based NexNeuro LLC. “We want to help people feel better with a simple way to effectively manage their stress in today's crazy world.” For the past five years, Bender’s team of researchers has developed and refined an easy way to experience a total state of deep relaxation.  His program, NeuroBreak, is a form of Science-Based Meditation that, incorporated to one’s daily routine, has been shown to help decrease stress, improve health, find inner-strength and more.

“It’s important to know that you do not need to meditate for hours or sit in an uncomfortable position to reach the perfect state of deep relaxation,” explains Bender. “In reality, relaxation is simple. It’s a matter of swaying the mind away from its customary automatic grooves long enough to be able to take in something new.” With just 15 to 20 minutes a day of listening to specially composed music, with embedded relaxation frequencies, you can train yourself to suspend the day’s stress quite effortlessly,” he adds. “With NeuroBreak you can practice meditation whenever and wherever you need it and return to your daily tasks refreshed and clear headed.  It’s ideal for pondering old challenges from a renewed perspective.”

What is NeuroBreak

The core of the NeuroBreak Program is based on Sound Therapy, the power of specific vibrational frequencies to alter the way your mind operates, by swaying it out of old, tired grooves when you are stuck in a loop. The combined effects of music, low frequency tones, along with binaural beats (computer generated sounds that play a tone in each ear) act in concert to shift your brain into several possible operating modalities. For instance, if you’re feeling anxious or stressed when facing a particular challenge, Sound Therapy can encourage the cerebral cortex to produce slow alpha-frequency brain waves.

Danute Kuncas, Clinical Director for product development at NexNeuro explains, “In the range of 7-12 cycles per second, alpha is relaxed attention. It is a very creative state, particularly suited for problem solving intuitively versus mentally. It can be extremely helpful for better concentration, and for counteracting the effects of ADD and ADHD, in particular high distractability. Alpha is also known to counteract and even reverse memory loss.” On the other hand, Kuncas continues, “Delta frequencies in the 0.5 to 4 Hz range are the natural state of the brain when we are restfully sleeping. Delta frequencies can help induce sleep and keep you sleeping throughout the night. Alternately, they can be used to provide a quick “power break” at the office, without the need of going into complete sleep. Delta brainwaves are generated when we are in a state of deep peace, which is in fact a state of meditation whereby the brain has let go of thinking to focus, instead, on feeling. Using the NeuroBreak programmed headphones is like having training wheels for meditation. With continued use, the brain can quickly reproduce these practiced states at will.”

Most people find it difficult to still their minds in order to meditate. NeuroBreak’s guided meditation combined with music, enhanced with binaural beats, can help one experience all the benefits of deep meditation. Binaural beats make it possible for anybody to enter a deep meditative state quickly and easily.

Take A NeuroBreak

“The mind needs a break,” says Bender. “NeuroBreak operates as a reminder for your brain of what it likes to do when it doesn't need to think. This is precisely what NeuroBreak is designed for, “he adds. “Offering the mind a 15 to 20 minute complete vacation from whatever stresses you is the focus of a NeuroBreak."

During a NeuroBreak session, individuals are able to break the stress cycle, allowing them to rest, relax and recharge in a matter of minutes.  "Breaking the stress cycle is the critical element to discharge the underlying cause of accumulated stress quickly and efficiently," according to Bender. “NeuroBreak is a cutting-edge approach to reversing the health consequences of chronic stress.”  

It’s All About the Music

Within the music you hear, NeuroBreak has embedded binaural beats.  Binaural beats remind your brain to go into a particular bio-rhythm that promotes deep relaxation and a sense of calm without thoughts. If you are enjoying the music and the guided meditation, this together with the binaural beats will produce the very frequency that the brain itself operates on, when not thinking.

NexNeuro has made it easy and convenient for anyone to receive the health benefits of Sound Therapy. The NeuroToner is the latest 3D technology headset that gives the individual a sensation of being in a concert hall.  Sessions are carefully choreographed with music and an optional narrated guide to insure that specific goals are addressed and the individual enjoys the relaxation experience. NeuroBreak sessions will reduce anxiety and stress, energize and recharge, provide inspirations and quiet time, mental and brain fitness, and rejuvenate the body. The NeuroToner headset is a non-pharmaceutical means to relieve stress, achieve relaxation and lead one to a healthy lifestyle in the Modern World.

Benefits of NeuroBreak

The sense of calm, peace and balance provided by meditation benefits both your emotional well-being and your overall health. And, these benefits don't end when your meditation session ends.  A relaxed mind produces a relaxed body, open to the flow of oxygen and nutrients throughout your physiology. Research shows how Sound Therapies have been used to support-recovery from certain medical conditions such as: allergies, anxiety disorders, asthma, obesity, binge eating, cancer, depression, fatigue, heart disease, high blood pressure, pain, sleep problems and substance abuse. Meditation triggers a deeper level of physical relaxation, which causes many other benefits for the brain and body. The emotional benefits of meditation through increased serotonin levels include: gaining a new perspective on stressful situations, building skills to manage your stress, increasing self-awareness, focusing on the present and reducing negative emotions.

Summary

Meditation can still be one of the most difficult practices to maintain. So why not make it easier and do it more often? Bender’s NeuroBreak sessions are expertly choreographed with music and an optional narrated guide to insure that specific goals are addressed and the individual enjoys the relaxation experience. Specially composed sessions will help to relax the mind and body, while reducing anxiety and stress.  Individuals enjoy a pleasant experience with music resonating throughout their body, while reclining in their desk chair, sitting on the sofa or resting in a car….it’s relaxation from the “inside-out”.
