 What is neurofeedback? In simplest terms, neurofeedback is the process of showing the brain its own activity so that it can learn to change it. This training teaches the brain to be more efficient and effective - to be in the right gear for the task at hand. The brain produces waves of rhythmic electrical activity that are detectable with electrodes placed on the scalp, a measurement known as an electroencephalogram (literally, "electrical brain picture"), or EEG. The EEG carries information related to thought, metabolic state, hormonal state, attention, feelings and emotions. Most people are aware of the EEG primarily as a diagnostic test for abnormal brain activity such as seizures. That is about to change. For four decades, a dedicated group of researchers have demonstrated that you can actually improve many problems by feeding the EEG back to the brain in real time through sounds and images. According to Candace Pert, PhD, former chief of Brain Biochemistry at the National Institute of Mental Health and featured in What the Bleep Do We Know!?: "Neurofeedback is on the cutting edge of the mind-body revolution. I believe it is one of the treatments that will keep us moving toward an era of new approaches of naturally managing our health." With its use of scientific measurements and equipment, neurofeedback can seem intimidating and complex. Others in the field have attempted to remedy this by creating systems that employ a one-size-fits-all-brains approach. At BrainPaint we follow the research, and our mission was to create a system that would offer the full flexibility of an expert neurofeedback practitioner through a user interface that is easier to understand than most video games. Plus, it incorporates fractal feedback - a new feedback delivery system based on the shapes of the wave forms. This new metric is currently being scientifically validated in a UCLA study, which is yielding very positive results. Until now, the major obstacle keeping neurofeedback out of the hands of the public has been its high cost. We believe that everyone who wants to try this approach should have access to it, and BrainPaint tears down the cost barrier with its unparalleled affordability.
Most people have come to accept the burden of constant stress as an inescapable part of modern life, with its transient relationships, financial uncertainties, and constantly changing work demands. And when that stress becomes more than we can bear sometimes our brain gets into inappropriate states and it doesn't direct our emotions or actions efficiently. We start to break down and develop symptoms, the nature of which depends on our particular physiological fault lines. The result might be addiction, panic attacks, depression, irritable bowel syndrome, ADHD, insomnia, or any of the other problems that seem to originate at the interface between mind and body.
From Reactive to Interactive Brain The human brain has made us the ruling species of our planet. Its functions have given birth to one historical revolution after another: the Agricultural, the Industrial, and the present Information Revolution. Yet, for all the rapid progress man has brought about since the caveman days, the brain has clung tenaciously to its own Paleolithic wiring. This becomes especially noticeable when we are under stress--which for most people is nearly always--and we react with the limited response set of prehistoric man: run, fight, or freeze. These knee-jerk reactions were indispensable to our ancestors, who routinely had to flee from predators. But in today's world our survival is usually not at stake, and the problems we face require a calm mind and creative problem solving. Unfortunately, the very parts of the brain that allow such reasoned response are bypassed when we are under stress. Instead, we make decisions based on fear, a fact that stifles our creativity in everyday life. One of the goals of neurofeedback is to evolve the reactive brain into one that is interactive with its environment during a crisis. How does neurofeedback work? We are constantly receiving feedback from our world, then we learn and adapt accordingly. This is the predominant way that we are taught new behaviors and neurofeedback works in the same way. Great examples of feedback loops include: 1. A mirror gives you visual feedback on the state of your appearance and inspires action. Behavior changes will be directly related to the area of focus - you may get a haircut, change your stained shirt, get your pants hemmed, brush your teeth or go on a diet. 2. Video recordings give golfers and tennis players visual feedback to fine tune their strokes and techniques. 3. An audience gives a performer audible feedback on whether their material is funny. 4. Gravity gives you kinesthetic feedback on developing and maintaining a state of balance on a bicycle.
In the case of EEG biofeedback, software gives you visual and audio feedback on states of emotion and cognition that are extracted from your EEG. Your brain then learns to improve the management of these states. Once these new developmental skills are learned they eventually become automatic. Just as you always remember how to ride a bike, improvements made with neurofeedback you usually keep.

The Problem of Stress|
Everything "now" happened already! Five seconds isn't a long time to see into the future. It doesn't allow you to pick tomorrow's lottery number or predict the headline. But there is strong evidence that this ability to see future events may extend for several hours.
What color is this dot? (The dot is updated every minute. It's usually green or yellow. If it changes to orange or red... something bad is going to happen!)
Note from Marina: Good vs. Bad, Ligh vs. Dark ...
The colored dot above shows the current status indicator for the Global Consciousness Project (GSP). It's linked to the Global Consciousness computer. It changes to different colors depending on the results of more than 68 'black boxes' or 'eggs' (as they are now called) located all over the globe and sampled many times each second.
The color coding represents the level of coherence or correlation among the eggs, which is reflected in the probability of the Chisquare. The expected level is about 50%, and big shifts in either direction are notable. The GCP's formal testing looks for increased interegg correlation, which is represented here by the warm colors, orange and red.

 Awakening to a Greater Reality Let's look at what happens when you receive an attunement like say Usui Reiki or some other cosmic energy out there (as an energy work and healer, I am intimately familiar with these). You typically receive the attunement as a point to point transmission from someone who already has the energy (resonance) within them and has been cultivating it and getting to know it for what it is and what it's purpose is. All you did is open yourself up to the frequency of the energy which is already present and nearby because someone else familiar with it is giving it to you. This vibratory signature or this vibration of change, comes in and merges with the other vibrations you are latching on to. The more you hold on to a particular vibration, the stronger its resonance and the stronger the pathway you begin to build for it. Think of this as someone who uses their intuition actively every day and allows the information to come through them, i.e. practice. This high information pathway is going to be a lot more accessible to the person who does the work every day than say someone who one, either doesn't even awknowledge this 6th sense or two, just awknowledges is on a sparing basis. I am encouraging and nourishing this pathway to merge with my vibratory signature and allow it to change me on a cosmic level. I am learning to embody this vibration as a constant within me. Let's get deeper with this. You can hold these vibrations and energies within you to the point that they take over your dominant system and frequency as you generally operate under. Holding this vibration as an ideal for most people will draw that frequency towards them till they can bring that frequency close enough so that they can become the lighting bolt and connect from the ground to the energy at the top. It comes from both directions, you and outside of the you that you currently experience. Once you've found the frequency that you want you still have to cultivate it. You found the frequency, now you have to acknowledge the vibration and energy signature it embodies and learn to work with it. I have a fully activated Kundalini, work with Usui Reiki, Gold Reiki, Tachyon Energy, Etheric objects, an energy known as the Lily, an activated Merkaba, an evolved and activated Caudate Nucleus, thought forms and several different rays of light of which I can tap into and do tap into on a regular basis to work with. The more I use these energies, the more familiar I become with them and the more their resonance merges with my identity and consciousness. This is what Christ Consciousness is all about. You as a soul with a particular resonant frequency within you can hold onto the idea (resonance or vibration) of Christ Consciousness and accept it to manifest into the full blossom overtop of your current vibratory state or just completely replacing your old system with a newer, better one. This is how you learn to live the I AM. This is the process of ascension by connecting with the vibration that has already existed and been developed by other souls over countless evolutions and you are simply and effectively tapping into that already established resonance. This is the simple, straight and true path of least resistance, the full embrace of what change is in the omniverse and how to use it to achieve whatever is you want in this lifetime. This is also how the deified abilities operate of which Red Elk teaches some of. You find the frequency (the idea) of which you wish to embody and you hold it within you until you bring it forth in your frequency. You will eventually bring it forth in your frequency so long as you keep your awareness on it and work towards it, you're not trying to find the vibration or trying to embody it within you, you find the vibration and embody it, it's a doing process as opposed to a trying process. Deified abilities incorporate such higher faculties such as telepathy, telekinesis, the ability to physically levitate, remote viewing, the ability to make yourself physically invisible, manipulation and creation of physical matter using metaphysical means (you can create an edible apple or real money using pure concentration and an understanding of more perfect laws of the universe, not only that but the establishment knows this and has kept it from you), bifocation, the ability to stop time or slow down time, eternal life of the physical body and things like physical teleportation by non technological means, running cars and appliances without an electrical power source, etc. All of this is part of self actualization as a human being. One of the questions I asked doing some of my intuition development activities was whether there were stronger forms of Reiki energy that were not presently being used on the planet to heal people, in other words, are all the practitioners out there using less perfect forms of the healing energy than they could be using? I got a 'yes' response from my highest self. At the time I didn't explore the reasons why after I asked the question to get deeper feedback but the reason why just came to me, I love the way that happens : ) The Reiki on Earth being used right now is not the highest and most perfect form of the energy that could be used because the masters and practitioners are not embodying the activity and making it the core of their energy signature. They are using it as a healing modality instead of being the healing modality. They are separating themselves instead of allowing it to be them. To be a pure channel in the highest sense of it. When I do Reiki on someone I was taught to allow the energy to flow through me coming in through my Crown chakra, circling around my Heart chakra and then channeling out through my hands into where ever they need the energy to go within them. This action is me tapping into that frequency, using it for a given time and then releasing it back to where it came from. A perfect channel of Reiki as not being done on Earth right now would not be channeling the Reiki energy, they would be pure Reiki energy incarnate as a living ideal. They would exist as Reiki energy of the highest degree and purest form living a physical life. They would have to adopt the Reiki energy as their primary vibratory state and live it. Can you imagine for just a moment how wonderful and amazing that would feel? Living not just as someone who had some of the Reiki energy come into them, rather actually being the pure embodiment of Reiki energy. This is the most powerful transcendental change you could aspire to because it is all there is. This is what it's like to be an elemental consciousness. To actually be the consciousness of the atoms that make up say a quartz crystal or a diamond. This is internal alchemy at the most fundamental level and the easiest way I can think of to explain it without added complexity. This is how you can master every single aspect of your life through vibrational resonance and accepting the inevitable change that is the core of your experience of yourself as God on Earth. In any given life time you are given the opportunity to go beyond ego, beyond enlightenment and actually merge with the God spark within you to transcend the life and death cycle. You can live the highest ideal and come and go in a physical body as you please, you can learn to master not just yourself but everything on all levels of existence. There is no entity, soul or spirit in existance that is more powerful than you are. Anything that tries to tell you otherwise is either trying to manipulate you for it's own end or stuck in a weakened existance and in all likeliness being manipulated itself by some other force or consciousness usually at a level beyond its conscious awareness. This it the idea from which you can judge all other sources by. It's how I know I am communicating with my highest self and not some discarnate spirit or hyperdimensional entity when I go inside for answers. Lastly, I want you to know that your personal development only takes place according to the idea's you have set in place for yourself. If you think your awakening will take a lifetime, your right and chances are high that you'll get tired of waiting. If you are able to realize that it is immediately in front of you and you ask for it, the vibrational change will come into your body and spirit whole heartedly and at a pace faster than you ever imagined possible. Not only that but these changes in and of themselves change the physical charachteristics of your body so that your body can inhabit a higher frequency of energy. These changes within you can last for extended periods of time and can be rather uncomfortable as your body adjusts. I highly reccommend that you gradually work towards this rather than ask the universe for an immediate and full force rewiring. Take that as a prudent warning. Everything I have written here has come from the search for answers inside myself detached from ego. This is not book theory, this is my realization and experience from 2,500,000,000+ years of death and rebirth. I wish you luck and many blessings in your own personal discovery. Namaste.
