How to Stop the Nightmares and Bad Dreams


The conscious mind needs to be "turned off" for sleep and dreams to occur. Dreams contain very important messages, even bad dreams or nightmares. When you understand the hidden messages of the unconscious mind, you understand the mistakes you are making. You also learn how to correct these mistakes and do only what is positive for you. Nightmares can be extremely unpleasant, causing fear and anxiety and affecting quality of your sleep. This can lead to physical tiredness and mental stress.

Dreams occur with specific brain waves and images and thoughts different from the normal waking state, so the dream state is usually thought of as a product of the subconscious mind. Images from the present and past are combined in ways experienced as illogical, and the dreamer is usually unable to move so that the dreams are not converted to motion.

Here are the some tips that aimed at cultivating a healthier sleep and dream life.



1. Learn to relax.

Various techniques, tapes, music and supplements are available to promote relaxation. The hemi-sync tapes or CDs can be very useful in learning relaxation. Medication can provide assistance in difficult cases and then can be phased out as new skills are learned.


2. Inhibit intrusive negative imagery and promote positive imagery. 

Positive imagery techniques include developing and practicing thoughts/images of "special places" which are beautiful, safe and comfortable. After these techniques are learned and practiced they can be used to counter the negative images from trauma dreams.










3. Change dream scenarios into more positive and productive dramas. 

Imagery rehearsal treatment is a type of cognitive therapy which has been found very effective in reducing nightmares in insomnia patients. The individual is encouraged to change the dream story in any way that seems right to them, starting with practice on their less intense bad dreams. Practice during the day is also necessary to learn the skills involved in re-scripting dreams. The middle and end of the dream should be changed to make it more positive or acceptable. Because bad dreams are repetitive it is best to write down the new dream script and practice it for short periods of time daily so it becomes a learned habit stronger than the old dream. Like for an example, if you are dreaming of a typhoon or tornado, the new dream could be that the weatherman announces there are no typhoon in the area and the dreamer looks outside to see the sun shining. A fantasy response could be that the dreamer becomes a superperson who fights the tornado and flings it back into the sky while crowds cheer. Pick a positive ending to a disturbing dream, write it down and then practice the new ending while you are awake.



4. Avoid eating before bed.

Eating before bed can trigger nightmares, as food speeds up your metabolism and sends signals to your brain to become more active. Therefore, it's a good idea to cut out bedtime snacks, particularly those that are high in sugar.




5. Get more physical exercise. 

Tiring yourself out with physical exercise is a great way to improve your sleep. You can choose an activity that you enjoy whether it's running, strength training, dancing, rowing or rock climbing and work out 3 to 5 times a week. Schedule it for the morning if you can. Just don't exercise right before bed. It will leave you too amped up for sleep.


Your dreams will have a totally different meaning. They will reflect your progress, instead of reflecting your mistakes. You will be able to make very important future predictions after seeing meaningful dream warnings. Instead of dreaming about dangerous situations and bad events, you’ll see positive dream symbols, and learn many things you ignore.



Now... are you ready to step into the Dream World?

How to Get High. No Drugs Needed.

How to Get High. No Drugs Needed.


Did this article's title grab your attention? Good! We've listed below some ways for you to get "high" without the consumption of dangerous and addictive drugs. Think it's impossible? Think again. A lot of you don't even know that you are already feeling that natural high on a daily basis.

We take things for granted a lot, especially the little things that we do every day. Due to the high demands of our lifestyles, be it from work or school, or society, we find ourselves in a rush to get things done. This leaves us with feelings of stress, exhaustion and fatigue. What we end up with during our free time would be to catch up on our favorite TV shows, or play computer games, or go out to town for a night of drinking or splurging. Work hard, party harder, right?

Well, that kind of routine makes a person look at the world as a mundane experience. Deep inside you wish for some kind of other excitement to fill your soul. And this is where we will talk about the different ways you can get that Natural High and Raise your Vibration.


1. Meditate Daily 
You don't need to be a master of meditation. The simple, basic forms of meditation done on a daily basis will give you wondrous results. The simplest form of meditation is for you to find a quiet spot, sit in a comfortable position, relax and close your eyes. Start by being aware of your surroundings. Of that itch on your leg. Be aware of your body and of your breathing. Get yourself used to taking in deep breaths, inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth. For simple meditations, you don't need to do it for a long time. Quieting your mind for at least five minutes is good. You can also take this opportunity to cleanse and activate your energy hotspots, or Chakras, in your body.



Meditation will lower your blood pressure, relieves you from stress and tension, and releases the Alpha brainwave pattern which correlates to healing, emotional stability and overall balance. Once you regularize meditation into your daily life, you will notice some positive changes within and around you. And once you acknowledge them, you will definitely feel a different kind of high. You will feel being High on Life.



2. Pranayama or Deep Breathing 
Prāṇāyāma is a Sanskrit word meaning the extension of the breath (known as prāṇa) or the extension of the life force. Its origins can be traced to ancient India, and is mostly practiced in yoga. Doing a conscious, deeper intake of oxygen repeated multiple times in one sitting will give you a natural high and will greatly expand the consciousness and awareness. Physically, you will feel light-headed, and your heart rate might speed up a little bit. These are just normal reactions due to the fact that this is all new to your body and much different than our regular automatic breathing pattern. The basic method of the pranayama is to breathe in deep through the nose, holding it for a few counts and then exhaling slowly out through the mouth. Be aware of your diaphragm as you do this. Deep breathing should not be limited to the chest only.



Here is a great website to tell you more about what the pranayama is all about.

Just as a side-note, I have a friend who had been doing yoga, and during their pranayama session he swore he felt and saw, through closed eyes, a huge difference happening within him. He was aware of these vibrations all around him and had seen vibrant color spectrums and unexplainable visuals. But his overall sensation was of ecstasy, the natural kind. It was highly probable that his pineal gland had opened, or that the natural DMT in his body came out stronger as compared to before.


3. Altered States of Mind through Binaural Beats and other brainwave entrainments
Binaural beats is slowly becoming known to more and more people nowadays. Scientifically, it has been proven that certain brainwave frequencies are connected to a specific state of mind, emotion or physical attribute. Some physical and emotional sensations you will feel while listening to a binaural beat track would be tingling sensations on the head and the skin, vibrations that flow up and down your body, feeling of bliss and even a floating sensations. Since many of our original music therapy beats are dedicated to sleep, relaxation, meditation and healing, those are just some of the natural highs you will perceive.




4. Love Making, not just sex. Love making is much more intimate than just having sex. If you would like to connect better with your partner, do so in a subconscious level. Let your emotions of love and bliss flow through you and share them with your loved one. For many in today's society, sex is just that. An erotic private moment. But if you involve more than just your body to the act, you will notice a difference. The raw, animalistic hunger can turn into something so much more. The Kama Sutra, or other tantric practices should actually be studied and understood further by the rest of the sexually-active society. They are not just mere sexual positions. They have an underlying spiritual connection about them. The word Tantra is Sanskrit for "woven together". This is the sexual union of weaving man, woman and the divine together within the physical and the spiritual planes. It is such a delicate, important and sacred practice to become one with God.





5. The 33 Spinning Technique
Honestly, this is one of the new things we've learned about recently, as we do our daily research on how to further raise our vibrations and be connected with everything around us. The 33 Spinning technique can basically help your DNA, pineal gland, and vibratory energy fields, and it is something very easy to do. You start off by selecting your base point, could be a chair or a painting on the wall. This will be your count-clicker. Stretch out your arms and using your thumb as your main focal point, start spinning in a clockwise direction, or to your right. Spin slowly at first until after much practice you'll be able to let go and spin yourself into bliss while maintaing balance. After 33 counts, stop by steadying your feet firmly on the ground, lock your knees and do your best to stand still. Focus your eyes at something in the distance. This simple exercise, if done daily, will raise your spiritual awareness and vibration, leaving you feeling high and happy.



Other ways for you to get that natural high are:


Do Things That You Enjoy like doing physical exercise, which will produce endorphins, like running or jogging, or how about dancing? Have you ever tried just dancing without pattern or not even following steps? Just loosen yourself up and dance like crazy. Soon enough you will feel like you are in a trance-like state, and this is the great area to be in when your mind is reaching an altered state.

For the creatives out there, like music lovers or musicians, listening or creating music will always have this amazing medicine for the soul. Even singing, especially those who can do the head-tones, will feel a rush from their head all the way down to their toes.


And for those who would like to start off at an easy pace, you can achieve a good, natural high by eating dark chocolate, laugh a lot whole-heartedly, and look at the world through the eyes of a child, grasping the magic and wonder from mother nature.

Altering Brainwaves To Achieve Success by using the Power of Sound



The title might sound intimidating, and most probably a lot of you are doubtful and confused about it. But before any judgement is placed on the table, let me explain as best I can and lay my point across to you.

The basic premise of this article is all about the Power of Thought, or Power of Manifestation, with an added method in using brainwave frequencies to assist in making the intentions happen in reality. One will first need to fully understand the concept of manifesting one's desires and accept the fact that there will still be action needed in order for the events to take place. For religious people, they have been practicing the power of prayer, and devotees can attest to these prayers coming true. Using that as an example, it is clear how thoughts can be such a powerful energy tool without us really knowing how they can actually happen.

Religious, spiritual, or not, anyone can achieve what they desire for. But there are some important things to consider, if you truly intend on using this to achieve success in your life.

  • What is it that you truly want? Is it for personal gain? 
  • Is it a material desire? 
  • Is it a selfless wish?
  • Will the path to get to it hurt others?
Why are we asking such things? Simply because the Universe knows how deep the desire goes, and the intentions behind it and for it. Personal, selfish gain doesn't seem to cut it, but then again, selfish reasons are very debatable. Let's re-word that into to greed. Being successful in life is not a bad thing. Be it for wealth, for a promotion and the likes, as long as what you want will make you truly happy.

It is important that you become specific with what you want. That way, you can also see the obstacles up ahead. If you want more money, know how to focus on where this financial gain would possibly be coming from. Money just doesn't fall from the tree. You have to get the ladder, or climb that tree, and reach up for that sweet rewarding fruit. Once you are aware of the possible obstacles that might come your way, you will be able to choose carefully which step to take. 

Sometimes, just having that thought doesn't seem like anything is happening. This is normal. Not everything we want will be brought swiftly down to us all at once. There is still that need to push ourselves into a specific goal. Surprisingly, there are sound frequencies that help bring our state of mind into focus, creative power and the strong will to gain success.

Using carefully formulated binaural beats, the frequencies used here are intended to guide the listener subconsciously into focusing on achieving success in what they want. Close your eyes, bring forth to mind your goals and dreams, and just listen.


Sounds are vibrations that travel through the air, or other mediums, and they are also another form of energy created when air molecules vibrate and move in patterns known as waves. These sound waves can be heard and felt all around us. In voices, the wind blowing, music, water streaming down a river. It is everywhere. And it is an invisible energy that we human beings have yet to fully understand and acknowledge in our modern society.

When people listen to music, each individual has a different reaction towards it. We often listen to our favorite songs whenever we feel down and need a good mood elevator. The best speakers in the world not only know how to give a presentation, but they have also mastered the element of sound by knowing how to properly pronounce the words and how the flow of the way they speak should be. They can grab the attentions of the audiences with the power of their words. Musicians, classic and modern, can feel the art that they pour into their music, knowing the progression of the scales will reveal the soul, or the message, of what they create. Even the animal kingdom knows how to use sound to their advantages. Sonar clicks from dolphins or whales can travel for miles. Elephants can communicate with each other using very low rumbles that we humans are not able to pick up. Even the universe emits sound waves. The mysterious clicking noise of the recently probed comet 67P/C-G is said to sound too eerie and alien-like. Even the planets emit a frequency due to the spins in their orbits.

So how does Sound affect us?

What do you feel when you suddenly hear a crashing sound? Or when you hear a baby's laughter? Sound affects us in more ways than you would think. A simple sound can flood our brains with all kinds of thoughts and can trigger all kinds of emotions or sensations. Sound is such a powerful force but many of us take it for granted. As the sound waves reach our ears, they have a great effect on our brain activity.

We all have our own unique brain wave flow that varies throughout the day and night. These brain waves are known as Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta, and are categorizes as frequencies. They would change depending on the activity you are currently into, or the emotions that you feel. There have been many studies about the effects of sound to the human mind and emotional aspect, and there are now so many sound and music therapy that has been helping people all over the world.

To simply categorize the different effects of these four brain waves occur within us, the  Beta waves are associated with concentration and alertness. Alpha waves are mostly active during creativity and relaxation. Theta is mostly found during meditation, and Delta occurs during sleep. As the different frequencies found under each brain wave happen, we find ourselves in different stages of thought, emotion and action through the day. Many people are know using these audio triggers to help put themselves in their acquired mood.

Now remember, these brain wave frequencies that are used in sound therapy programs, such as binaural beats or isochronic tones, are not always used for subliminal or hypnotic trances. They are merely triggers to help your mind get acquainted into a particular state. Binaural beats seem scary to use for others, as fear of brain manipulation or hypnosis might occur.

We at Brainwave Power Music has been creating sound and music therapy audio tracks for over two years. The passion and interest was ignited by the use of sound frequencies to assist our state of being into a certain type of mindset and/or emotion. Sleep aids, study and work audio accompaniments, as well as music for emotional balance have been our most-listened-to tracks. There is this need for people to seek for that extra push to get to these state of minds, and the compliments we have been getting from our viewers have all been heartwarming. Knowing that we have helped others in our music therapy motivates us to continue our work and research.
