Your brain creates a third frequency call the beating frequency. Depending on the “pitch” or rate of the beating frequency different outcomes can be achieved such as sleep or increased focus. All you need for this is a pair of headphones (not speakers) and to choose a beating pattern. Brain waves states Delta pattern: Exhibited in deeper stages of sleep. Frequency range: 0.5 - 4Hz Theta pattern: Meditation, flow state and REM sleep. Frequency range: 4-7Hz Alpha pattern. Relaxation.

Getting clear After doing work with NLP you often reach a breakthrough where you become “unstuck” or are no longer held back by a limiting belief. In the episode we discuss that when you become unstuck this may lead you to make decisions you didn’t expect like to leave a job or relationship.
