Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Our brain works primarily with bioelectrical energy, and it is demonstrated
to be a machine of low frequencies. Our brain, in addition to processing information
that is recieved by the senses, is capable of emitting extra-sensory information received
via similar “electromagnetic waves.” It has been proven thanks to the EEG that the
brain emits waves of varying intensity and frequency depending on the mental state of
the person being observed. These mental states range from the state of stress with
Gamma Wave frequencies to states of deep sleep with Delta frequencies. The chapter
introduces the use of music, sound, hypnosis, and meditation to induce particular states
of mind that can help people achieve desired personal goals, such as learning, creativity
and relaxation as therapy anxiety and other mental illness.
