The more I learned about Brain State Technologies the more impressed I was. The technical idea was fairly simple but the execution was very tough. That is what you find with most software. Simple idea, tough to pull off in a way that really works for lots of people. BST basically analyzes the 4 major brainwaves, alpha, beta, delta, theta coming from the major lobes of the brains. What Lee has found is anyone suffering from major, chronic health issues have waves that are unbalanced. The left and right sides, the front and back lobes are all oscillating at widely different frequencies and are often not in sync with one another. The waves can be much higher than they should be, or much lower.
A theory of quantum physics is that “anything that is
observed will change.” In a way, BST is
feeding back to the brain what it looks like.
Like a mirror. Allowing it to observe itself. The brain responds
to what it sees and tends to move to the more balanced state. The real trick is that
the software gradually “encourages” the brain to move to a more balanced,
optimized state. Amazingly, the brainwaves do move without any effort from the person being "trained." While there are similarities, there is no standard "optimal" state. Each person is different. The software helps the brain find what is optimal for it. And the changes tend to hold at optimal once there.
To be clear, this is not brainwashing or forcing the brain to do something it does not want. The client is always fully conscious and aware. Some protocols are done while meditating with eyes closed. Some, eyes open with active visualization. Even where a person is being trained that is resisting (say a child where a parent has brought them to be trained) the movement to a more optimal state occurs. Just not quite as fast. Children train very quickly as their brains are very plastic. Us older folks may require more time. BST is totally non-invasive. All that goes into the brain via the ears, is "music like" sound. There are NO subliminal sounds. The system cannot hurt you. Lee tried to run protocols on himself that would be the opposite of what would be good for him. He found the brain would simply resist changing to a less optimal state.
As the brain moves to a more balanced state, powerful things can happen in the body often relieving long standing conditions. It is believed the system also spurs the brain into building new neural networks around damaged areas as in the case of brain injuries. It has been known for a very long time that the brain is actually quite plastic and can grow new connections, albeit slowly. Lee’s theory is that trauma, in some people, can cause the brain to get into a “stuck” or survival position where it is basically doing everything it can to protect the individual from further damage. When stuck many different negative pathologies can develop.
Lee was his first guinea pig. He would measure his brainwaves when he felt well and compare that to when he felt poorly.
Over time he began to learn what “optimal” looked like. He gradually recovered from PTSD. He also fully regained the use of his left arm. Amazing that balancing the brain could
heal an arm that was very damaged. Lee
then applied the technology to his son who was having great difficulty staying
in school. After training, his son made
the dean’s list and graduated with honors.
He now works at BST. They then
used it on 8 of his sons buddies with great results. Then other friends and family.
About 4 years ago, BST began to use and sell the system commercially. They work with clients locally in Scottsdale and sell the system to affiliates all over the world. They currently have over 130 affiliates in over 14 countries. The main system in Scottsdale is hooked up to all the affiliates and downloads all the data from every session. This allows them to build a very large database so they can constantly improve their protocols and learn what protocols work best with different pathologies. They have data from well over 200,000 sessions from over 13,000 clients. An assessment and 10 sessions costs between $1,200 and $2,500. Each affiliate sets their own price. Next post I will share my own experience.
