Gamma Peak State
A gamma wave is a pattern of neural oscillation in humans
with a frequency between 25 to 100 Hz though 40 Hz is typical
Experiments on Tibetan
Buddhist monks have shown a correlation between
transcendental mental states and gamma waves.
A 2004 study took eight long-term Tibetan Buddhist practitioners of meditation and, using
electrodes, monitored the patterns of electrical activity produced by their brains as they meditated. The
researchers compared the brain activity of the monks to a group of novice meditators (the study had these
subjects meditate an hour a day for one week prior to empirical observation). In a normal meditative
state, both groups were shown to have similar brain activity. However, when the monks were told to
generate an objective feeling of compassion during meditation, their brain activity began to fire in a
rhythmic, coherent manner, suggesting neuronal structures were firing in harmony. This was observed at a
frequency of 25–40 Hz, the rhythm of gamma waves. These gamma-band oscillations in the monk’s brain
signals were the largest seen in humans. Conversely, these gamma-band oscillations were scant in novice
meditators. Though, a number of rhythmic signals did appear to strengthen in beginner meditators with
further experience in the exercise, implying that the aptitude for one to produce gamma-band
rhythm is trainable
Such evidence and research in gamma-band oscillations explains the heightened sense of
consciousness, bliss, and intellectual acuity subsequent to meditation. Notably, meditation is
known to have a number of health benefits: stress reduction, mood elevation, and increased life
expectancy of the mind and its cognitive functions.
How Does it Work?

Accurately calibrated music synthesis software has been used to create the exact isochronic beat
frequencies required to induce the 40 Hz Gamma Peak State as is commonly observed in meditating Tibetan
monks.
Experimenting through the whole range of gamma waves (from 25 - 100 Hz) it was found
that a combination of isochronic frequencies consistently caused a complete shift in consciousness
with a sustainable peak of brainwave activity at 40 Hz.
This phenomenon allows us to repeat the trancsendental states at will and with
minimal practice.
The programme lasts for 60 minutes and has a fantastic success
rate.
