What is the Mind Body Harmonizer?
The Mind Body Harmonizer is a gentle electronic stimulation tool, designed for relaxation, stress management and meditation. The Harmonizer is safe and is a viable alternative to drugs offered by pharmaceutical companies. It is similar to what is known in North America as a relaxation and stress management device providing mild AC brain stimulation which is harmless at any frequency.
In Europe, a similar device called “ElectroSleep,” is being marketed to relax people who have difficulty sleeping. The Mind Body Harmonizer is used as a relaxation and stress relief device, helping to improve concentration and offers help for OCD sufferers. It may even assist with Meditation and Lucid Dreaming.
In over a century of use worldwide, this type of low intensity AC stimulation has never caused a single injury.
Effects of Frequency Stimulation
Various frequencies of stimulation of the earlobes has produced different effects. Some wave forms have been found to be better and more therapeutic than others for relief of stress and relaxation. Traditionally, all similar machines use 100 hertz, 14.3 hertz and 0.5 hertz which we included in our design.
The Mind Body Harmonizer is a consumer device oriented towards use for relaxation, stress relief and amateur self research. It uses the 100 hertz, 14.3 hertz and 0.5 hertz waveforms. We have added the 40 hertz stimulation, based on historical evidence with meditation and lucid dreaming.
In the Standard setting, the machine uses a natural brain frequency of 40 hertz which is the Gamma brainwave frequency of a healthy brain. 40 hertz brainwaves are associated with meditation. The study below shows that German researchers were able to trigger lucid dreams using 40 hertz applied to the forehead. Some purchasers are experimenting with this application. The harmonizer is mainly meant for relaxation and stress reduction without drugs, but can be used as an alternative treatment for other physical or mental condition such as anxiety disorder. It can also be used to assist with learning meditation.
The addition of the 40 hertz frequency is based on the brain research funded by the Dalai Lama on Buddhist Meditation and brain wave frequencies. The research showed that experienced monks at the peak of meditation have dominant brain waves at 40 hertz. This has spawned a few other consumer devices and gadgets as well, including the Muse brain wave sensing headband. German research also showed that gentle 40 hertz stimulation can trigger lucid dreaming.
Our innovations is called “Harmonic Resonance” since 40 hz stimulation is used in an attempt to encourage a higher brainwave frequency by resonance.
The technology of the Mind Body Harmonizer is based on traditional stimulation tools for relaxing and reducing stress that were developed in 1902 in France and later refined in the 1980’s by Bob Beck, an electrical engineer working in the US. During the 1990’s, he designed and published documentation on a number of electro cranial stimulation devices that use mild electronic stimulation devices used on the ear lobes for relaxation, concentration and stress relief.
The Mind Body Harmonizer is based on the non-patented, open source work of Bob Beck. He wanted the world to benefit from the concept without it being “locked down” by a single corporation. Today, there are many such machines sold in Canada and the USA, marketed simply for relaxation and stress relief.
There are presently no other “Bob Beck” type relaxation devices offering 40 hertz.
Caution: People with pacemakers, electronic brain shunts, cochlear implants or other cranially located electronic devices or who are on psychiatric drugs should consult with a physician before use. People who are suffering from MS or Guillain–Barré syndrome should not use the harmonizer.
