Stress is a biological term which refers to
the consequences of the failure of a human or animal body to respond
appropriately to emotional or physical threats to the organism, whether actual or
imagined. It includes a state of alarm and adrenaline production, short-term
resistance as a coping mechanism, and exhaustion. Common stress symptoms
include irritability, muscular tension, inability to concentrate and a variety
of physical reactions, such as headaches and elevated heart rate.
In technical terms, stress is a state of
overabundance of beta or higher activity, typical of anxiety or stress. Not
surprisingly, people lacking of these vital brainwaves often turn to external
substances (such as alcohol, tobacco, or drugs) to induce the production of
these brainwaves, providing temporary, and potentially dangerous, relief.
Using relaxation focused brainwaves
entrainment sessions, you can not only reduce stress, anxiety, and cravings for
external substances, but you can also increase your brain's ability to produce
these brainwaves, allowing you to better deal with stress in the future.
Like so many mental disorder there is no a
"magic bullet" for anxiety or stress. No "one size fits
all" solution will work for everybody. But it is an undisputed fact that
stress is vastly reduced by alpha/theta training. Very few studies on brainwave
training fail to mention stress reduction as a goal or healthy side effect.
Henry Adams, PhD., head of the alcoholism
programs at St. Elizabeth's Hospital In Washington, found that alcoholics
showed a 55% in alcohol consumption after a single relaxation session combined
with a brief anti-alcohol suggestion.
Peninston & Kulkosky found that
Alpha/Theta neurofeedback got successful results in 80% of those properly
trained addicts becoming non-craving, healthy people.
I am not saying that you are alcoholic or
addict, but if brainwave entrainment works fine in those people, it will work
better in slightly stressed people. In The Unexplainable Store you can find a set of relaxtion and meditation
session based on brainwave entrainment in this link:

To use this session, find a quiet place,
free of distraction. Make sure you are comfortable and relaxed, in a chair or
lying down, close your eyes and enjoy the experience.(Information from mentallion)
