3 Advanced Binaural Zen Meditation Programs combined with Soothing Ambient Nature Sounds to create the Ultimate Zen Meditation Experience. Sophisticated sequences of binaural tones synchronize the listeners brainwaves with low frequency theta waves associated with deep meditation.

*** The Science Behind Zen Meditation ***

Zen Meditations advanced brainwave programs are specifically designed for each meditation duration. The application makes use of Brainwave Entrainment techniques that utilize Binaural Brainwave Frequencies to induce a meditative state of mind in the user.

Note that head/earphones are required for this technique to be effective.

With this technique two different audible frequencies are played into each ear, with a soothing ambient background. When your brain processes these frequencies it perceives the difference between the two, which is the lower, inaudible brainwave frequency. Your brainwave frequencies then match this frequency through the process of Brainwave Entrainment.

*** Progressive Brainwave Entrainment ***

The programs begin by putting you in a relaxed, quiet state of mind, before taking you into a longer period of deep theta wave meditation, and then finally bringing you out at a more wakeful, yet calm and relaxed state of mind.

*** Advanced Features ***

- Multiple ambient background sounds to choose from including Ocean Waves, Rain, Thunder and Pink Noise.

- Meditative carrier wave frequencies matching the "Om" frequency of the "Om" meditation sound. This frequency is known to relax the mind and help you let go of random or persistent thoughts that can hinder deep meditation. It is used to transport the inaudible binaural brainwave frequencies that are then processed and perceived by your brain.

- Adjustable Brainwave Intensity - The intensity of the brainwaves can be adjusted independently of the ambient background sound. This allows you to set the brainwave volume to your comfort level to create the ideal personal meditative experience. The application will also save your preference for future use.

*** Induced Brainwave Meditation Phases ***

- Alpha-wave relaxation to quiet your mind.
- Alpha/Theta-wave transition phase to empty your mind and ease you into a meditative state.
- Theta-wave meditation. This is the longest phase and uses a blend of theta-waves to create the optimal meditative experience.
- Alpha-wave transition to help end the meditation period.
- Alpha/Beta-wave phase to bring you to a calm, yet alert state of mind.

Zen Meditations advanced brainwave entrainment techniques help to create a serene, blissful meditative experience.

Meditation is beneficial both mentally and physically. Mentally, it centers your mind, lowers stress, improves problem solving ability and makes handling daily challenges easier. Physically, it can lower blood pressure and reduce stress hormones that cause our bodies to store fat.

BrainWave Zen Meditation helps you to block out distractions, empty your mind of random or persistent thoughts, and make the most of your meditative experience. You can use it every day, especially while commuting home on a train, bus or airplane to help you empty your mind and leave work behind.

Warning: This application is highly effective and should never be used while driving or operating machinery.

If you have any prior medical conditions such as seizures consult a physician before using any binaural brainwave application.

Pros and cons of BrainWave Binaural Zen app for iPhone and iPad

BrainWave Binaural Zen app good for

It does exactly what it intends to do. What more can you ask?
love it. also...what does the u.s. iTunes app store have against system optimizer apps, system memory refreshing apps, & battery boosting apps? seriously! every time i find one that does it all, inevitably the app store phases it out. these types of utilities are readily available in every other store, but not in the u.s. store. its as though apple doesnt want its customers to be able to enjoy the benefits of this type of utility, and they dont have the right to decide that for their customers. (and yet they have done just that) hasnt anyone out there noticed this? i cannot be the only person.
The brainwave intensity adjuster in this release allows you to set the volume of the brainwaves independent of the ambient sound. This makes the transitions smooth by allowing you to reduce the overall signal intensity and allows you to set the volume to your comfort level.
This app is just wonderful for meditation. It uses brainwave entrainment to take you down to the perfect meditative state of mind and then brings you out refreshed. It really helps me to calm and clear my mind. Great app!
I use this in between coding sessions to clear my head. Works great.
This is an awesome app. It really really works. The effort put into creating the perfect meditation experience has really paid off with this one.

Some bad moments

About a month ago, I purchased the Brain Wave app and just loved it. Then recently I saw that the same company came out with several other same type apps and this was one of them I went ahead and got. However, Im not thrilled with this one because every 2 minutes or so, just as youre really getting into it and feeling relaxed, it all of a sudden and rather abruptly, pauses and resumes. Not good!
Dont waste your money i bought it after looking around at other apps and was disappointed. Then i got sleep stream lite and it works so much better and its free
I read the one review about the pause and resume problem and bought this anyway to give it a shot. It does kind of ruin it though. Its a split second pause in the track before it restarts. This needs to be fixed somehow. Im pretty sure you could fade the end and the resume together so its not noticable.
This program is too difficult to figure out, and what I did use (Oceans 2) did not come through the earphones only through the phone speaker. Plus, the Binaural Tones was nowhere to be found!
This app and another by Bonzai Labs have exactly the same sounds. There is nothing different between the two appsbut they dont tell you that.
Tried to download update and it said it was no longer available...... :( what the heck???????
