The main benefit of EquiSync Classic is that it's super simple. You get a set number of preconfigured, highly optimized tracks — that you own forever. You don't need to dig into brainwave entrainment theory, sound / consciousness theory, or anything like that. You don't need to do any testing to find out what you like. We have done the hard work for you. Plug and play.

The main benefit of EquiSync Deepereum is that it's highly customizable. With the program's powerful configuration options (brainwave frequency, entrainment technique, session length, audio quality, soundscape, & more), Deepereum opens the door to thousands upon thousands of potential track combinations. Generally speaking, this level of control is more for people with a bit of experience using deep meditation brainwave audio. Deepereum is the next logical step after Classic.

The main benefit of EquiSync Element is that it's infinitely programmable. It has all of the configuration options of Deepereum plus more (including entrainment shape, resonance creation tools, setting the exact brainwave & carrier Hz down to the 2nd decimal, powerful volume tools, advanced multilayering, just to name a few). This level of control is for people with more experience using deep meditation brainwave audio. Element is the next logical step after Deepereum.

So the natural progression is to use EquiSync Classic first, EquiSync Deepereum second, and EquiSync Element third.

Advanced is a relative word. The brainwave audio, as a pure technology, is advanced for all 3 programs. This is an important distinction to make. The differentiating factor is what level of control you would like.

Do you want to change the type of entrainment stimulus that's in the meditation track? Do you want to research carrier frequencies (off of our site) and spend time testing what works best in your routine? Do you mind a bit of a learning curve? If the answer is yes then Deepereum or Element are the right choice. If you are looking for something more turn key then EquiSync Classic is the right choice. The tracks are already built, tested, and ready to go — out of the box.

And so, a meditator who has been practicing for many years and just wants something simple would be better suited for EquiSync Classic. While someone with a "do-it-yourself" personality, yet new to meditation, would be better suited for Deepereum / Element as they are more likely to research / test all of the different possible configurations. Ultimately, it's more about what level of involvement you want (or don't want) in the creation process.

If you are more drawn to one program then go with your intuition.

EquiSync is an audio-based meditation web application designed to work on all phones / devices / browsers. Any device with a basic web browser (i.e. Chrome, Safari, Edge, Opera, Firefox, etc) will work perfectly fine with EquiSync — mobile or otherwise.

A popular "quick-access" method for mobile users is to simply "bookmark" the respective EquiSync interface pages (whether Classic, Deepereum, or Element) which then creates an icon on your phone's home screen. Instructions for that are further down this FAQ (it takes just 5 seconds!).

Why choose a web app over a mobile app? There are some big advantages of web apps (like EquiSync) over mobile apps including that they are always up to date (i.e. it never stops working because of a required update), there's no "app fatigue" (i.e. having too many apps on your phone), the development costs are much lower (which reduces the cost of EquiSync), and they work seamlessly on all devices. Web-apps are great!

You're welcome to use EquiSync on any / all of your devices!

Downloading / Streaming / Offline Use: Please note that all EquiSync programs (Classic, Deepereum, & Element) are streamable directly from their respective interfaces. As for offline use:

EquiSync Classic: EquiSync Classic is designed to be used offline (all tracks are downloadable). Once the tracks are on your respective laptop, smartphone (iPhone / Android Phone) or tablet (iPad) you can listen without being connected to the internet. EquiSync Classic does indeed allow you to download the files without limitation (whether device or time).

EquiSync Deepereum: While we do have plans for a downloadable version of Deepereum in the future, the program does not have that capability at this time. A live internet connection is currently required to use Deepereum.

EquiSync Element: EquiSync Element can indeed be used offline. Once you have loaded your respective creation or "FrequencyScape" (which does require a live connection initially though uses near zero bandwidth), you can disconnect from the internet and the audio will stream / play perfectly without the need for reconnection.

While practicing meditation in silence is a definite "must learn" on the meditative journey, if you want to take your practice to the next level, sound is the way to go.

Whether it's the Tibetans and the singing bowl, the Aboriginal Australians and the didgeridoo, the Japanese Buddhists and the gong, or the Native Americans and the frame drum, through the ages people (across many cultures) have used sound to facilitate, enhance, and deepen the meditative state. And with all the recent interest in frequency / resonance / cymatics perhaps we are just scratching the surface of what sound & vibration can really do!

EquiSync is simply the modern embodiment of what has already been practiced for millenia. Countless long time (silent practicing) meditators have successfully used our program for breaking through their own personal meditative plateaus. In the end, you can use both silence and sound in your practice based on your goals / moods / preferences.

Perhaps you've seen one of the recent viral youtube videos demonstrating the power of "cymatics." In case you haven't, a sand covered metal plate and soundboard are the lone ingredients in this simple yet impressive experiment. And as the experimenter adjusts the frequency (measured in Hz) to certain levels on the audio spectrum, in response, the vibrating sand would "magically" arrange itself into near perfect geometric patterns. It was the incredible uniqueness and beauty of the "snowflake-like" or "crystalline" patterns (with repeatability at their respective Hz frequency) that made the experiment so compelling.

Sound & Consciousness. While these experiments possibly raise more questions than they answer, it does provide some powerfully illustrative evidence to the idea that all sound is (NOT!) created equal. And that, just perhaps, certain sounds vibrated at certain frequencies can indeed impact consciousness in certain ways.

With that in mind, for the purpose of building a sound based meditation program, all 3 EquiSync programs focus on frequencies that are most popular among the meditation community (like 528 Hz, 432 Hz, the 9 Solfeggio Tones, & more), frequencies built upon the most solid mathematical foundation, frequencies that are the most resonant with / congruent to their respective soundscape (for Classic & Deepereum only as Element has no soundscape), and frequencies with the most compelling scientific and anecdotal evidence.

Which Carriers are available in EquiSync? While the highly popular and powerful (above mentioned) frequencies are layered into EquiSync Classic, Deepereum, & Element — you will have much more control with the latter two programs (Deepereum & Element). And so, if frequency selection is important to you then EquiSync Deepereum / Element are what we recommend.

The initial Deepereum release includes a spectrum of 30 carrier frequency profiles, with 3-5 options per soundscape. Generally speaking, we recommend simply choosing the carrier profile(s) that sound the most pleasing to you.

With Element all limits are removed. You can choose any carrier frequency within the human audible range (0 Hz - 20,000 Hz) down to the 2nd decimal. Dedicated users often do in-depth "frequency research" (outside of our platform) and are successfully leveraging this powerful program to that end.

Disclaimer: While EquiSync does include the most popular frequencies, we make NO claims as to what these sounds can or can't do (like many on the web like to do). This field of research, that is, how certain sound(s) vibrated at certain frequencies can impact human consciousness in certain (perhaps very positive) ways - is largely new, and therefore, largely unexplored by science. With that said, from our own user reports it looks like the future is bright for those who learn how to use frequency & vibration to deepen & enhance their daily meditation practice (with no better tool than EquiSync!).

Your brain has nerve cells that fire electrical signals day and night, forming distinctive arrangements called brainwave patterns. These highly unique patterns are closely connected to your thoughts, emotions, moods, biological chemistry, everything you do, and really, everything that you are.

Because EquiSync sound technology guides you into different mind states (and various states of meditation) via brainwave entrainment, it's helpful to understand the different frequencies and how they contribute to your state of consciousness. The two charts on this page illustrate the basic benefits of each brainwave state as well as the basic targeting of EquiSync.

(2024 Update): With the recent addition of Element (where Beta is an option), EquiSync now offers the full spectrum of brainwaves (Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, & Gamma). Many Element users are reporting good results with Beta, a key "focus" brainwave, when combined with the brainwaves of meditation — a practice that requires focus. You are encouraged to find what works best in your meditation practice!

Each EquiSync release has added more options / configurability. Here are the brainwave offerings for each program:

EquiSync Classic: Delta, Theta, & Alpha

EquiSync Deepereum: Delta, Theta, Alpha, & Gamma

EquiSync Element: Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, & Gamma

EquiSync is designed for permanent use (i.e. no time expiration). After checkout you will receive an order receipt with login details. Keeping that will be the easiest way to re-access the program (even years from now). Of course, if you lose your order receipt then no problem. We still have users from many years ago that come back after a computer crash or losing their original purchase info. We are always happy to resend your order receipt / downloads / login instructions. Our contact info can be found here.

People who want the quick accessibility of an iOS / Android app can simply bookmark their favorite EquiSync program page (usually the Soundscape Selection page or the Main Interface page) which then creates an icon on the home screen (with the other iOS & Android apps). Instructions are included below.

Generally speaking, EquiSync is designed to be listened to through headphones. For binaural beats to work properly, each ear must perceive different tones for the technology to work. The same goes for bilateral beats. With that said, other types of entrainment can work perfectly fine without headphones (like isochronic tones & monaural beats). If you do choose the open-air sound method we suggest placing a speaker on each side of the body (if possible). As for headphones:

What To Avoid: Because it distorts the brainwave technology, we recommend using headphones WITHOUT bass boost and/or noise canceling. Of course, if your noise canceling headphones / bass boosting headphones have an on/off switch then turning the feature OFF would work without problem. Note: The "monaural beat" and "isochronic tone" options work fine with noise canceling headphones (less so for bass boosting headphones). Because wireless (bluetooth) headphones may affect sound quality, wired headphones are our general preference.

Our Recommendation: With the goal of the least sound leakage, it's best to choose headphones that isolate the sound as much as possible. As such, headphones that enclose most of the ear are recommended. An inexpensive alternative are earbuds/earphones, the kind that fit snugly inside the ear canal. With the "priciest" headphones on the market often having the most "sound-altering" features, the headphones you choose certainly don't need to be fancy and/or expensive.

Hoping to see a better result, people new to EquiSync will sometimes focus their full attention on the entrainment sound(s). Or turn the volume to an uncomfortable setting. Like forcing yourself to fall asleep rather than simply letting yourself fall asleep, focusing intently on the brainwave entrainment sounds can actually produce a "non-meditative" effect (ironically).

So with that in mind, when using our program, the observation of the mind, breath, and body should be the primary focus (i.e. the sensations of the body, the ebb and flow of thought, the inward and outward flow of the breath, etc). And so, it's a bit of a paradox: the LESS you focus on the sound and expect it to "do something" - the MORE the sound will work and the deeper your state of meditation.

While it is indeed designed to make meditation much easier, let the sound be what it was meant to be, a piece of the puzzle and not the whole puzzle. Let the soundscape fade into the background of your awareness and you will see much better meditative results.

If we had to recommend an "optimal" meditation session length, it would be 20-30 minutes. Most people find this to be the "sweet spot" on the "time per day -> meditation benefit" curve. With that said, you are encouraged to experiment on your own, focusing on the track length that works best for you. All EquiSync Classic tracks are in the 23-24 minute range, all Deepereum tracks have an option for 10, 20, & 30 minutes, and all Element tracks offer an option for 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, & 60 minutes.

Note: Because EquiSync is a sound based meditation program, it does take several minutes for the brainwaves to respond to the audio technology (more time for beginners, less for advanced users). For the majority of users, 5-10 minutes is about the minimum for that to occur. And of course, once you do get into a meditative state, you will want to stay there for a certain period of time to really tap into the massive benefits of the practice. And so, 20-30 minutes per day is what we recommend.

With that said, many people do see great meditative benefits from as little as 10 minutes per day. Most find the experience so pleasurable that they use the program as much as they can.

You may have seen the stories of the meditating monks sitting in a big name University lab, head full of electrodes — surrounded by a group of amazed lab coat wearing neuroscientists. Doctors are fascinated with meditation not only because of its incredible benefits, but also because of its very clear and distinct measurables. And so, when it comes to "knowing" when you've entered a "proper" meditative state, short of going to a lab for the same tests (which would show a strong synchrony of brainwave activity), perhaps the best marker is what we call the "mind awake, body asleep" state. Here's what to look for:

The "Mind-Awake, Body-Asleep" State

(Note: These "meditation markers" don't need to happen in any particular order).

• We begin to observe a dramatic slowdown of our rate of breath.
• We start to feel our body falling "asleep" (i.e. feeling a physical sense of "heaviness" or "lightness") while our mind stays conscious & alert.
• We begin to notice more and more space between our thoughts (i.e. occurring less frequently) and when thoughts do occur, they have less physiological impact on the body (i.e. heart rate stays the same no matter what enters our mind).
• We start to observe our conscious state moving more and more into "mindfulness," as defined here:

"Mindfulness is a state of active, open attention on the present. When you're mindful, you observe your thoughts and feelings from a distance, without judging or labeling them as good or bad. Instead of letting your life pass you by, mindfulness means living in the moment and awakening to experience." — Psychology Today

In this "trance-like" state of consciousness we can effortlessly find life solutions, release stubborn dysfunctional thought patterns, dig deep into our intuition, visualize creatively, have profound insight(s), become immune to stressful/fear based thinking, naturally balance our body's chemistry, heal ourselves on the deepest level, and much more.

Clearly, achieving a meditative state (a.k.a. the "mind awake, body asleep" state), if for even a few minutes per day, opens the door to countless benefits: mental, emotional, and physical. And the more we practice, the more efficient / deep our meditation session(s) will be.

No Expectations. With that said, it's important to approach meditation without expectation. If we think that our practice is "supposed" to be a certain way - then we may begin to force things a bit. Obviously, much like falling asleep, "forcing" yourself into a meditative state tends to have quite the opposite effect.

When we focus on the basics of mindfulness (noticing the sensations of the body, letting thoughts come and go, observing the inward and outward flow of the breath, etc), that's when meditation naturally occurs. So relax, expect nothing, and let it happen naturally!

Absolutely not! There are many different forms of meditation, all valid. It's often said the best exercise routine is the one that you actually stick to (whether it's yoga, running, cycling, weightlifting, etc.) Likewise, the best meditation technique is the one that you actually stick to. And so, if you already have a proven meditation technique — or if you want to take bits and pieces from our outlined technique thereby making it your own, then great! In the end, all forms of meditation can be successfully combined / enhanced / deepened with our brainwave audio technology. And the more you practice, the more benefits you will see. So find a meditation technique that you like!

Deep meditative brainwave audio technology never expires. We still have countless people using our initial release over a decade later (with great success!). In fact, some people prefer the older versions over the latest version! The previous releases are now included for free with purchase of the latest version of EquiSync Classic. You are encouraged to try out all EquiSync tracks (regardless of release) and may well discover that you prefer the older version(s) over the latest.

There are a couple of ways to use the program:

A. Structured, Progressive Approach:

If you would like a more structured routine then here is what we suggest (depending on the version that you have):

Latest Release (Third Edition): 18 tracks x 3 days each ≈ 60 days to complete the full series
Ensuing Release (Second Edition): 27 tracks x 2 days each ≈ 60 days to complete the full series
Initial Release (First Edition): 9 tracks x 6 days each ≈ 60 days to complete the full series

Example Structure: For the Third Edition (Latest Edition), the math works out to 18 tracks x 3 days each = 54 days total (we rounded up to 60 days to factor in missed days). Here's a structure example for EquiSync: Latest Release (18 tracks):

Days 1-3 - Play Track 1 (just once totaling 24 minutes listening time)
Days 4-6- Play Track 2 (just once totaling 24 minutes listening time)
Days 7-9 - Play Track 3 (just once totaling 24 minutes listening time)
Days 10-12 - Play Track 4 (just once totaling 24 minutes listening time)
Days 13-15 - Play Track 5 (just once totaling 24 minutes listening time)
Days 16-18 - Play Track 6 (just once totaling 24 minutes listening time)
Days 19-21 - Play Track 7 (just once totaling 24 minutes listening time)
Days 22-24 - Play Track 8 (just once totaling 24 minutes listening time)
Days 25-27 - Play Track 9 (just once totaling 24 minutes listening time)
... and so forth all the way to day 54 / track 18

Upon Completion: You would start with Alpha, then go to Theta, and finally Delta - no matter the EquiSync series that you choose (whether it's Initial, Ensuing, or Latest release). Once you have completed the full series (from the first alpha track to the final delta track), you can then focus on your favorite tracks indefinitely, switching them up as you wish. EquiSync provides enough brainwave stimulation for a lifetime of fresh meditative gains.

B. Intuitive, Preferential Approach:

Most Popular Method: This is the approach to which most gravitate, especially our most successful users. Simply put, experiment with some / all of the tracks for your particular series, and focus on what you like and/or what gives you the greatest benefit. You will quickly find that certain tracks / brainwave frequencies really resonate with you. And so, put your time and energy into what works. Much like physical exercise, meditation has an endless staircase of benefits.

While doing a two month structured program may be a good way to get started, you will ultimately switch over to the intuitive method at some point on your meditative journey. Focusing your time / effort on just a handful of tracks (that you really like) is perhaps the key to the greatest benefits because ultimately, consistency matters more than anything. If you enjoy your daily meditation session then you will naturally be consistent with it.

It's generally a good idea to be aware of the various layers built into EquiSync Classic.

Nearly all tracks contain some type of ambient music and/or nature background (calm ocean waves / relaxing rainfall / deepmind drumscape(s), etc), carefully curated for deep meditation. Typically this layer would be the most prominent. A smaller number of tracks (particularly the second edition of EquiSync Classic & the Vibrasphere tracks on Deepereum) contain our "Synchrowave Modulation" feature — which sounds like a slight rhythmic volume oscillation, up and down, of the smooth ambient background music — synced directly with the entrainment carrier frequency (i.e. an alpha track would vibrate faster than theta which then vibrates faster than delta).

At varying fractional volumes are the deepest EquiSync Classic layers containing the isochronic, monaural, and binaural harmonically resonant tones. Though less prominently audible, these powerful sublayers have a very beneficial effect on the brainwave patterns, whose distinctive architecture & construction are one of the many potent Classic features. This is the layer that Deepereum allows you to easily configure. In terms of which tones are in EquiSync Classic, we have carefully chosen frequencies that are most popular among the meditation community, frequencies built upon the most solid mathematical foundation, frequencies that are most resonant / congruent with their respective soundscape, and frequencies with the most compelling scientific and anecdotal evidence.

If we had to give one piece of advice, it's best to not focus on the EquiSync audio itself. During meditation (with or without our program), the observation of the mind, breath, and body should be the primary focus. When you focus on the basics of mindfulness — such as the sensations of the body, the ebb and flow of thought, the inward and outward flow of the breath, and so forth - then your brainwaves will be much quicker to mimic the entrainment stimulus, readily guiding you into various states of meditation. Let EquiSync fade into the background of your awareness and you will see much better meditative results.

Generally speaking, the differences between the tracks, outside of Alpha, Theta, and Delta layering, is mostly in the design complexity, the degree to which each EquiSync brainwave entrainment feature has been implemented. You could say the tracks increase in intensity as they move forward (i.e. the final theta track on a particular series is more complex than the first theta track). With that said, when choosing tracks, we suggest focusing on those that "resonate" the most with you, regardless of its design complexity. Some people respond better to a simple design, some respond better to a more complex design, for many it makes no difference. It's best to focus on tracks that you like above all else.

With 100 soundscapes on offer, Deepereum includes a powerful filter to quickly find something that you like. Here's the Deepereum soundscape selection page and here's how to use the filter:

SoundScape "Type" Filter: With Ambient, PureNature, DrumScape, DidgiRhythm, GongBath, VoiceScape, BowlScape, & Vibrasphere options available, we recommend finding a particular soundscape "type" that you resonate with and to then "zoom in" for the soundscape(s) that sound the best.

For example, if you find that you really like the "DrumScape" tracks you can then activate this particular filter which will show you 11 available soundscapes. From there you can listen to a quick 15-second sample of those 11 DrumScape tracks to find 1-3 to use in your daily meditation practice.

SoundScape "Frequency (Hz)" Filter: If you are more interested in targeting a particular frequency (like the well-known 432 Hz or 528 Hz), there's an option for that. Clicking the frequency filter opens a sub-menu showing 30 carrier frequency profiles. Notice at the top you have secondary options for sorting / highlighting the available frequencies.

For example, if you think that the 9 well-known "Solfeggio Tones" look interesting then you can highlight those 9 frequencies on the interface. From there you can sort the list a couple of different ways. The sort by "Plays" toggle gives you 528 Hz, 417 Hz, & 639 Hz as the top 3 options (all Solfeggio Tones). Clicking 417 Hz will show 31 Soundscapes layered with that 417 Hz carrier frequency profile. You can listen to 15-second samples for all 31 soundscapes or add another filter (like DrumScape, BowlScape, GongBath, etc) to narrow things down further.

It's ultimately how much you "resonate" with a particular piece of audio that will keep you coming back to it (and thus keep your meditative practice strong). And so, investing a little time on Deepereum's soundscape selection page can payoff in big ways (i.e. keep you practicing meditation for years!).

We suggest using the soundscape filter tool as outlined in the question directly above. After finding a soundscape that you like we suggest the following:

With Deepereum's "build your own track" structure there are a great number of entrainment options available. This can be overwhelming for those new to the technology. If this is the case for you, or if you don't want to spend a great deal of time building / testing tracks (at first), then we recommend the "curated preset" module. Instead of having to choose between a near infinite number of track options, the curated preset section includes 3-5 tracks preselected by our team. Find one that sounds good to you.

Once you become comfortable with the curated presets, you can begin modifying the various track options to your liking. In time, you will figure out which brainwaves / entrainment modes / track structures work best in your practice, and you can save the "gems" in your "My Favorites". The curated presets are a great place to start.

Note: The "Curated Preset" link is at the bottom of each Deepereum soundscape (directly under the "Meditation Tone Volume" toggle). You need to scroll a bit to get there.

Having a variety of carrier frequencies (and entrainment techniques) to choose from offers an added benefit, immunity to "habituation." If you find that your meditation routine has gotten stagnant, simply switch to another carrier profile (Hz). When it comes to breaking through meditative plateaus — variety is often the key.

PureTone vs Harmonic MultiLayering: This Deepereum option indicates if the entrainment waveform is built upon one carrier frequency (PureTone), or multiple carrier frequencies (Harmonic MultiLayering). While we won't go into (quite complex) music theory here, you can learn more about how/why this is done by googling "fundamental pitch," "overtones," and "harmonic series." The Harmonic MultiLayering option is built upon "perfect octave" ratios, which as a side note, have been referred to as the "basic miracle of music." The PureTone option is popular among users interested in "experiencing" a particular carrier frequency (i.e. 528 Hz, 417 Hz, 432 Hz, etc.) in its purest form. You are welcome to try both options.

Advanced Binaural Beats: Many binaural beat users find that, assuming maximum binaural beat integrity is maintained (very important!), a far deeper meditative state can be achieved through certain upgrades to the audio. For this reason, EquiSync Deepereum & EquiSync Element both include two enhanced binaural beat options:

Vertical Modulation: With this feature implemented, the waveform will resemble more of a monaural beat than a binaural beat. However, unlike a monaural beat, the left & right audio channels maintain their frequency (Hz) difference (meaning that it still works like a binaural beat). Many users find this modification to be extra-effective (versus standard binaurals), and therefore, very helpful for deep meditation.

Horizontal Modulation: Instead of a static left / right volume (as with standard binaurals), the horizontal modulation feature rhythmically oscillates the volume from side to side, ear to ear (like a bilateral beat). Assuming that maximum audio quality & left-right channel separation is maintained (as done with our program, this is very important!), many users find this feature to be a powerful upgrade over standard binaural beats. Like its vertically modulated counterpart, horizontally modulated binaurals are super effective for deepening the meditative state.

Whether it's standard or enhanced binaural beats, you are encouraged to find what works best for you!

We suggest the following for getting started with EquiSync Element:

Create New: Start with the auto-generated "FrequencyScape" tool. Access this function via: Main Menu → New → Create New → Results. Notice that new results are generated with each click of the "Regenerate Results" button. From there you can refresh the results / load a new "FrequencyScape" until you find something that you like!

Adjust Master Volume: The auto-generated results always need a little volume tune-up. For this you will adjust each Element's respective volume using the "Master Volume" tool (at the bottom right hand corner of the app). Please note that perfecting the volume level of each Element in your FrequencyScape is well worth your time as these adjustments are indeed included upon saving.

Edit Each Element: If you want to focus on a different brainwave / extend the session / add legs / change the entrainment shape then no problem. You can always edit each Element individually using the "Edit" button on its respective top-right hand corner.

Save Creation: Once you've created a good "FrequencyScape" you can save it for later. Do this via Main Menu → File → Save → Save As New. Please note that ALL volume adjustments / edits will indeed be included upon saving. So spend some time making your creation perfect!

You can then access / edit / update your saved creation whenever you like!

Help Menu: A great deal of information can be found in Element's respective "Help" menu which you can find under "Main Menu" via the link below:

EquiSync Element Main Interface

No Brainwave Entrainment Experience? Most users don't jump directly into EquiSync Element (it's highly advanced!) without using a "bridge" program like EquiSync Deepereum.

If you haven't used Deepereum (which is designed to teach the basics of brainwave entrainment) the best way to understand how entrainment works is to simply remove all Elements other than 1. With just 1 Element you can experiment with all of the many variables (Entrainment Type / Carrier Hz / Brainwave Hz / Entrainment Shape / etc) to learn the basics of brainwave entrainment. This is done from the "Edit" menu on the top right hand corner of any Element.

Once you understand how just 1 Element works you can experiment with adding in more Elements / multilayering (which opens the door to powerful brainwave entrainment effects like resonance). There is a learning curve but it's well worth your time!

EquiSync Classic & Deepereum both work perfectly on your phone right out of the box while Element requires a 5 second fix that is common for many apps these days:

With Element's powerful audio delivery system mobile users must temporarily extend their screen timeout to avoid screen lock / audio stoppage. Luckily, it's super easy! Here's how:

Android: Settings → Display & Brightness → Auto-Screen Off → 30 Minutes

iPhone / iOS: Settings → Display & Brightness → Auto Lock → Never

When you're finished with your session you can go back to the original setting.

Frequency Finder: As the name suggests, EquiSync Element's powerful "Frequency Finder" (FF) tool is designed to help you quickly and easily find highly correlated & connected frequencies. For example, if your research suggests that the well-known 528 Hz frequency is quite powerful (which it is!) then you can enter that into the "Base Hz" option of the FF tool. Upon entry you will find suggestions sorted by either value or degree of correlation (rank). If you want to multilayer the powerful 528 Hz frequency with another in the 200-400 Hz range (which we classify as a "Zone 2" carrier) then the top suggestions would be 264 Hz (528 x ¹/₂ = 264), 396 Hz (528 x ³/₄ = 396), and so forth. This can also be done for the much lower brainwave Hz ranges (ex. 528 / 60 = 8.8 Hz alpha wave, or 528 / 144 = 3.67 Hz delta wave). The idea here is to build an entire multilayered harmonically resonant session based on just a single frequency. The options are limitless!

EquiSync Element's true superpower is that it allows you to create a 100% harmonically-resonant, multilayered brainwave entrainment meditation soundscape — quickly. When you add in the ability to cycle between certain highly resonant frequency combinations (i.e. moving between 528 Hz & 396 Hz every 6 minutes) with multiple layers all doing the same thing — then you have the ultimate recipe for super deep meditation!

Resonance: Why combine multiple frequencies instead of just focusing on one? While we won't go into (quite complex) music theory here, you can learn more about how/why this is done by googling "fundamental pitch," "overtones," and "harmonic series." It's ultimately certain frequency combinations (resonance) that bring about the most profound "meditation deepening" effect which is what multi-layering is all about. You are encouraged to explore EquiSync Element's near-infinite options to discover what works best in your practice!

Creation Tool: Accessed via the "Create New" main menu item, perhaps the quickest and easiest way to get a feel for Element's true power is through this incredible tool. Rather than starting from scratch and building a soundscape frequency by frequency, layer by layer, you can program the creation tool to create a basic template or "Structure" that can auto-generate options within your preferred framework. By taking the top frequencies from the "Frequency Finder" suggestion tool and building out whatever you want, it's a true time saver! It's also a great way to sample a high number of soundscapes in a short amount of time. What will the Universe create through you / for you / for everyone? Divine resonance indeed. Truly incredible sounds are readily available with this tool.

Creation Sharing: EquiSync Element lets you quickly & easily share your creation. If you make something you like then simply choose "File" from the main (top) menu and click the "Save As New" option. Take note of the numbered slot. To help you remember later we suggest adding a name. To share your creation simply load it, copy the URL, and send it to whoever you want! Any Element URL with "/element/?creation=" is shareable. It's important to note that if you do make any changes to your creation (i.e. update it in any way including frequencies used, duration, etc) then these changes WILL be seen by anyone you may have shared the URL with in the past. If someone shares something with you (that you really like!) we strongly suggest saving it to your favorites in case they change or delete it later. Creations are indeed updateable.

Entrainment Shape: The entrainment "shape" or "pattern" is a key component to your overall session experience. Do you want to focus on cycling between two frequencies (ie 432 Hz & 108 Hz) for this session? If so, how many times? Would you like to spend more time at the "peak" or the "transition" of the entrainment pattern? Would you like the transition to be more "linear" or "wave-like"? Or do you just want to focus on one pure frequency (ie 528 Hz) without any kind of variation? EquiSync Element allows you to not only pick the exact shape / pattern for your session but also how many times to repeat the cycle (legs). You are encouraged to find what works best for you!

Pattern Repeats / Legs: How many times would you like your chosen shape to repeat itself? Would you like a bit more variation? Or would you like to just focus on one frequency throughout? A key component to your overall meditative experience, we define a shape / pattern repeating itself simply as a "leg". We suggest starting with fewer legs / cycle repeats in the beginning (especially if you are less experienced with brainwave entrainment) and experimenting with more legs over time / as you progress. More legs is not always better! A simple "down & back" pattern can be quite powerful / plenty of stimulus for even the most experienced users. The simplest approach is often the best.

Volume Structure: You will find that, when creating a multilayered, multi-frequency meditation soundscape — a certain structure works best. A key component of this is the "volume" that we set for each layer. In other words, rather than weighing all layers equally (@ 100%) it's actually far more pleasing to the ear (& helpful for deep meditation) to adjust each layer to your own personal taste. Luckily, EquiSync Element's "Master Volume" tool allows you to set a precise volume for each layer! While Element's powerful auto-creation tool (i.e. the "Create" menu item) does have built-in volume varying capabilities — we strongly suggest fine-tuning whatever result it provides. You may find certain frequency ranges / zones to be more pleasing than others so adjust accordingly. Perhaps more art than science, we suggest experimenting to find what works best for you.

Frequency Research: If you don't know where to start then we recommend focusing on frequencies that are most popular among the meditation community (like the 432 Hz scale / 528 Hz / Solfeggio Tones) and all of their derivatives — which you can find by using the "Frequency Finder" tool. We also recommend doing your own frequency "homework" outside of our platform (via the web) as there is a whole world of interesting anecdotes / evidence about the potential benefits of particular frequencies. Keep in mind that this field of research, that is, how certain sound(s) vibrated at certain frequencies impact human consciousness in certain (perhaps very positive) ways - is largely new, and therefore, largely unexplored by science.

There's an incredible array of physical sensations, thoughts, energies, and feelings one can experience during all levels of the meditation journey, especially for beginners. Much is based on user expectation and the dramatically heightened mental, emotional, and sensual awareness achieved through meditation. It's important to know that what EquiSync is causing you to experience is completely natural, not so different from what's experienced at night during sleep when many of the same brainwave patterns are present.

The difference is that, during meditation, your conscious mind and subconscious mind are both infused with a powerful waking awareness, and much of that highly important "deep mind information" normally closed off during your nightly sleep cycle is now suddenly available to you. This is a very good thing. The vast array of physical sensations, thoughts, energies, and feelings experienced (by new meditators especially) are all indeed very natural, normal, and part of what we all experience on this wonderful journey into the deep mind.

Improved sleep is one of the first benefits new meditators report. While nighttime meditation sessions (before bed) are a bit better for this particular goal, practicing at any point during the day will work. In other words, the benefits from your daytime meditation session will ultimately benefit your sleep cycle. It's the stilling of the mind and the quieting of an overactive physiology that make meditation such a potent deep sleep tool. As an added benefit, new meditators often report a clearer memory and recall of their dreams — which can provide powerful solutions and deep insight into waking life.

If you're going to use our program for better sleep then we recommend keeping your sessions within the normal range, in terms of time (20-45 minutes per day). Just like anything, including physical exercise, brainwave technology has a point of diminishing returns. It is possible to overuse the programs (i.e. looping the programs as you sleep). With a focus on the so called "sleepier" brainwaves of theta (especially) and delta (if you're an advanced user), keep your sessions short. Do this, and your sleep will be infused with meditation's massive array of benefits even if you practice early in the day (though better at night).

You don't need any product to tap into the limitless benefits of meditation. With that said, EquiSync is designed to dramatically shorten the learning curve. Today, hundreds of thousands of people all over the world use our powerful audio technology to enhance & improve their lives on all levels — taking advantage of the deep, highly pleasurable states of meditation on offer. Whether you're a meditation rookie or a life-long practitioner, EquiSync can take you to the next (and highest!) level.

Keep in mind that our brainwaves have the best chance to entrain during meditation. With that said, some people use EquiSync for activities like reading, writing, studying, or creating art. If you use EquiSync during meditation as intended, then the brainwave benefits will carry over into your other activities, and really, all areas of your life. With just 20 minutes per day yielding incredible results, meditation is an incredibly potent practice!

Audio quality is critical for proper brainwave entrainment to occur. With this in mind, our team has always taken great care of each and every step of the audio creation / rendering process. While the final file encoding is just one aspect of this, it's an important one.

EquiSync Classic & Deepereum Audio Quality: Both Classic & Deepereum's audio files are encoded at the highest MP3 bitrate possible — 320 kbps. Because of this, some users (with slower internet speeds especially) have noticed that these audio files stream a bit "heavier" than do typical audio files. Data is not a concern though, as one 20 minute EquiSync session (50mb - 60mb) is but a fraction of a normal person's daily internet bandwidth — and still far less than a typical video of the same length (video is much more data heavy than audio).

EquiSync Element Audio Quality: EquiSync Element plays directly from your browser rather than a MP3 file. Because of its powerful and innovative sound delivery system, the audio quality is effectively perfect while taking zero bandwidth! Element is quite a technological marvel!

Quality is vitally important and we have gone to great lengths to meticulously preserve / maintain maximum integrity of the brainwave entrainment audio layering.

EquiSync's design is based on the 100's of studies showing the effectiveness of brainwave entrainment technology, and the 1000's of studies showing the powerful benefits of meditation. If you are interested in better understanding the power of this technology and this rapidly expanding field of research, then here is a very abbreviated bibliography, a very small sample of the studies out there.

You can think of brainwave synchronization as a training session for the brain. And so, like what physical exercise does for the body, practicing meditation with deep brainwave audio brings temporary benefits that last for a few hours, short term benefits that last all day, and long term benefits that last for much longer. You will not always have to use the audio tracks to maintain the benefits achieved with them. In fact, you will need less and less use in order to maintain upkeep (if you ever find a place where you feel like you're happy then it's your choice to continue). However, like the runner who can't wait for that daily run, most people find EquiSync so pleasurable and beneficial that they keep coming back to it every day. The key is to find a particular program / protocol that you really like / resonate with so that sticking with it becomes natural.
