one of the best

I have used Dr Thompson's (The Relaxation Company) brainwave entrainment CD's and Health Journey's guided meditations for a number of years and find them helpful, mostly for relaxation. As an insomnia sufferer for the past 40 years, I have found both to be very effective but I like brainwave entrainment best.
It's important to take the time to research these products. There is plenty of scientific research found on the internet that backs up the claims made for light and sound technology. Ignore the hype and unrealistic claims made on some product websites.
I decided to try the MindSpa because it sounded like it might be even more effective than Thompson's CDs. Although a bit weird at first, I find that I like it very much. It seems to improve the quality of my sleep and helps with my daytime meditation.
The reason I say it was weird is because it is quite different from Thompson's. Thompson embeds the soundwave pulses in his music so you don't hear the pulses, just the music. In Mind Spa, it's just steady pulses without music and flickering lights from the LED glasses. One nice feature, though, is an extra jack to hook up to a CD so you can have the music you like along with the pulses and lights.
I have read reports (not just the one here but others too) that people experience dizziness and other odd effects afterward. I haven't had any problems. I was careful to read the booklet that comes with this and to do the programs as suggested. To just jump in to the most advanced program without acclimating to the technology is a mistake. Also, people with seizure disorders should not use this product because the flashing lights could trigger a seizure. There are other warnings concerning people with health problems, so go to the website - [...] to find out what they are.
I wasn't happy with the ear buds because they don't stay in my ears when I'm lying down but otherwise, this is a nicely designed product that's easy to use.
I like it & .. I don't like it....

after using it for couple of weeks here are my observations.
- I like it because:
It REALLY put me in a deep altered state, especially when using night programs. I felt better concentrated and relaxed, more confident too....
- I don't like it because:
It caused me to become dizzy, and it is because of those blinking lights in glasses, although I use calm blue on lowest setting - it is still too bright and all those blinking makes me dizzy. In the morning the state of being dizzy continues for the whole day... Alas,... maybe it is just my brain's response and your will be different. I would suggest you getting one and trying and putting your response here. Afterwards Richard Bandler recommended them. Hope that will work for you.
P.S. after using it for a month I returned the product. The company didn't refund the shipping, so I end up paying shipping twice!
