Overview
Brainwave Optimization with RTB™ is a unique computer based healing modality that balances and harmonizes brainwave activity. Although Brainwave Optimization ™ technology relies on highly advanced knowledge of computers and human brain function, the process is simple, straightforward, holistic and effective.
1. The brain is the control center for the entire body.It controls every cell, every organ, every tissue and the entire autonomic nervous system (composed of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems) as well as reactions to stress and behaviors. |
2. Traumas - both emotional and physical - can knock brain functions out of balance.Many of us suffer from some measure of brain energy imbalance. When this is the case, a difficult period in our lives can exacerbate the imbalance, with unpleasant consequences, in either our behaviors or our physical or spiritual realities. |
3. The ways we behave are often our body's way of working to balance brainwaves that are out of sync.Because the brain is causing the person to do what he or she needs to do in order to survive, we see behaviors like addictions, rage, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, shoplifting, learning challenges, and self-harm as survival mechanisms, not as moral failings. |
4. Brainwave Optimization produces a map of the brain that shows exactly where and how brainwaves are out of balance.Brain training begins with an assessment of the individual's brain patterns. Performing a brain assessment is a straightforward process that involves no more than connecting one end of a set of sensors to a computer, then placing the other end on the individual's head in a variety of different locations in order to detect the energy patterns of various brain lobes. |
5. Through sensors placed at points of brainwave disturbance, the sounds of healthy brainwaves are transmitted to the brain, resonating with it to achieve functional balance and harmony. This is what we call Brainwave Optimization.For thousands of years, people have sought to train their own brain by enabling it to become its own mirror through meditation. Brainwave Optimization (also called "brain training") takes a step beyond to achieve deep relaxation and highly controlled self-regulation. |
6. The brain hears and resonates with the healthy patterns and returns to balance and harmony.When the brain is balanced, it is working in an integrated fashion, free of internal conflict between its regions. Each area of the brain is active as it needs to be in support of the activity of the other areas. |
Why we are different
Our modality stands in opposition to a culture that too quickly prescribes pills to alter behavior. Over and over, studies are revealing the inefficacy of the quick-pop pill, especially when it comes to addressing cognitive and behavioral functions. Traditional medicine contends that chemistry drives function. We believe that function drives chemistry. And that all function begins in the brain.
Faster and better results than neurofeedback
Neurofeedback depends on operant conditioning; forcing brainwaves into new and prescribed patterns. Brainwave Optimization induces the brain back to its own healthy state.
Brainwave Optimization is based on the belief that brainwave disturbances are a result of physical and emotional traumas. Neurofeedback is based on the idea that brainwaves are dysregulated, and training can regulate them.
Neurofeedback treatments require a much longer time before results appear, typically 40 to hundreds of sessions or more for the average person to experience results. With Brainwave Optimization, clients typically commit to a one-hour process for the initial assessment and then participate in 10-12 sessions in the space of one week. Whereas, our clients often report results within three or four sessions, it may take 20 neurofeedback sessions before it can be determined that any positive effect is taking place. For many, this can be precious time wasted. For children, it can be nearly impossible.
