The Alpha Relaxation System is designed to help reduce the effects of long-term stress. Listening to this program can slow your pace and entrain the mind to produce brainwaves more conducive to calm and centered living.
The sound environment on this recording is the result of years of experience in studying states of mind through electronically monitoring brainwave patterns. Since 1981 Dr. Jeffrey Thompson has been researching the effects of stress on the body and the use of sound, music and brainwave entrainment to alleviate this stress. Currently, healing professionals in more than 26 countries use his high-tech musical soundscapes for deep relaxation. His soundtracks use clinically proven techniques for gently guiding brainwave function into deeply relaxed and rejuvenating states.
Dr. Thompson is also an accomplished musician and composer, and has orchestrated specific music techniques for causing deeply relaxed states. This is especially true because many of the sounds are presented in Psycho-Acoustic 3-D, which is a special way of recording and presenting sound so that the body experiences the three-dimensional environment of the sound. In some cases, Dr. Thompson has taken 3-D recordings of nature sounds and has slowed them down over time so that the body can follow cues from what appear to it to be real-world sounds.

Used to create a very deep Alpha state afor detaching from stress, worries, and disturbing problems and for a greater ability to see things from a larger perspective. It is best used for stress reduction, relaxation and meditation.
DR. JEFFREY THOMPSON began experimenting with sound and its effects on the body and brain in 1981 at his Holistic Health Center in Virginia. In 1988 he moved west and established the Center for Neuroacoustic Research in Encinitas, California.
A pioneer in sound healing and the personal transformation that can result, his clinical research with thousands of patients and volunteers led to groundbreaking discoveries in how sound frequency patterns, built into musical soundtracks, can entrain brainwaves and trigger numerous health benefits.
In the 1990s, his method of using sound to heal was chosen for research as one of the top alternative healing modalities in the USA, at the University of Virginia Medical School and funded through the Center for the Study of Complementary and Alternative Therapies (CSCAT). Fortune 500 companies, businesses, healthcare professionals, clinics, hospitals, meditation groups, wellness spas and individuals worldwide use Dr. Thompson’s high-tech musical soundscapes for deep relaxation, healing, mega-learning, creativity, inner exploration and ecstatic states of meditation.
