We have a finely woven, intricate interrelationship of brainwave frequencies that
delicately determines our states of consciousness.
Being able to intentionally alter the combination of beta, alpha, theta, and delta in both
hemispheres is an intrinsic part of developing the self-mastery that leads to a High
Performance Mind -one that can enter the state of consciousness that is most beneficial or
desirable for any given circumstance.
The optimum brainwave pattern for creativity, healing, insight and all forms of high
performance combines the intuitive, empathetic radar of delta waves, the creative
inspiration, personal insight, and spiritual awareness of theta waves, the bridging
capacity and relaxed, detached, awareness of alpha waves, and the external attention and
ability to consciously process thought of beta waves, all at the same time. Originally
discovered in yogis, swamis and those in higher states of consciousness by C. Maxwell
Cade, this awakened mind pattern can also be found during the "ah-ha" experience
and all forms of peak performance, regardless of activity, content, intention, philosophy
or theology.
Using the Mind Mirror(TM) EEG for biofeedback and biomonitoring, and different methods of
meditation, sensualization and deep psycho-physiological relaxation, High Performance Mind
brainwave training takes place in two formats: individual consultation or group
training.
Both use the following generalized protocol:
WISE PROTOCOL
Eyes Closed
1. Increase relaxation
2. Access Theta
3. Reduce Beta
4. Access Alpha
5. Address Hemispheric Balance
6. Address Delta
7. Stabilize Alpha
8. Stabilize Theta
9. Alpha and Theta together
10. Add Beta for Awakened Mind
11. Stabilize Awakened Mind
Eyes Open
1. Alpha
2. Alpha and Theta
3. Awakened Mind
Both models work with the state and the content of consciousness.
Differences are as follows:
Individual sessions begin with a brainwave profile which establishes baseline signature
patterns for eyes open and closed. Protocol is then personalized accordingly.
Biomonitoring can be used to effectively shape the desired pattern by instantly altering
guidance to suit immediate needs. Biofeedback is given when desired state is
reached. Client recognizes state and learns to recreate it intentionally.
Interactive dialogue during trance works with subconscious content and can also be used to
access and develop alpha and theta. The client is able to work on brainwave states
and content issues in a highly individualized method and pace.
Group training takes place in weekend (five sessions) or 5-day (thirteen sessions)
intensives. Sessions are 2-3 hours. Size is limited to 16-18 people with 50%
of participants being monitored each session. Patterns are observed and reported to
participants following training. Table of subjective landmarks with several dozen
subjective experiences related to brainwave states is used to help participants find
"keys" for returning to and mastering different frequency combinations.
The intensity of working for extended periods, sharing personal content and hearing the
variety of other's experiences, the isolation of a retreat setting, the effect of group
entrainment and development of empathy, and the opportunity to gain knowledge of one's
consciousness and a model for continuing development in a compact period of time, all
contribute to making group brainwave training a unique, effective, and rewarding
experience.
Group training is also highly cost effective for the client and equally time effective for
the practitioner.
Workshop
The High Performance Mind
Anna Wise
Different methods of meditation, sensualization, and psychophysiological relaxation affect
our brainwaves in particular ways. In this workshop you will learn techniques for
brainwave development and management, working with both the state and content of
consciousness to understand how to create the components for a High Performance
Mind.
