LoL Uncle Al. You're about 40 years out of date my friend. Using meditation(self or audio) to change your brainwave frequencies is extremely healthy.
It's very similar to the exact same processes your brain goes thru while asleep, falling asleep, and waking up. Hormone management & creation, immunine system enhancements, ease of tension on the muscles, regulated neurotransmitters, stabalized metabolism, better use of vitamins, minerals, amino acid's and so on,bodily repair and balance with DHEA & HGH along with all the others and on and on. With more precise enterainment, one can target specific area's in the brain to perform certain tasks. EEG's have proven this hundreds of times along with blood tests accompinied by many other tests. A large portion that your brain can do you can promote with the enterainment audio tones...good and bad. So far it's been shown to be very very helpful for overall health and vitality.
