What is Directed Meditation?

Directed meditation is a technique creating a heightened state of alertness in a narrowly focused area of intensified concentration with the conscious mind distracted. It is different from natural physical sleep in that different parts of the brain are active during this meditative state than are active during sleep. In this normally occurring natural state, your mind becomes relaxed, focused and receptive to ideas, concepts and suggested images that are in alignment with your personal beliefs, values, attitudes and desires. This technique allows direct access to the subconscious mind where thoughts and imagery can be suggested and experienced as real.

What Is Brainwave Entrainment?

"Brainwave Enterainment," also known as Brainwave synchronization is any practice that causes the brainwave frequency to fall into step with a frequency corresponding to the intended brain-state (for example, to induce sleep). It depends upon a "frequency following" response, a naturally occurring phenomenon where the human brain has a tendency to change its dominant EEG frequency towards the frequency of a dominant external stimulus. Such a stimulus may be aural, as in the case of binaural beats, monaural beats, and isochronal tones, or else visual, as with a dream or mind machine.

What is a Mind Machine?

A mind machine using sound and/or light to alter the brainwave frequency of the user, resulting in altered states of consciousness with benefits that have been compared to those obtained from meditation and shamanic exploration.

What is experiential education or learning?

Experiential education is a process that occurs between a teacher and student that infuses direct experience with the learning environment and content. Experiential education is a philosophy and methodology in which educators purposefully engage with learners in direct experience and focused reflection in order to increase knowledge, develop skills and clarify values. Virtual experiential education can enable a person or groups of persons to have virtual experiences. These virtual experiences provide a much more immersive environment than otherwise acquired by simply reading about or researching a subject where a deeper and more insightful understanding is imparted.
