Theta Chamber
Stimulate neurological health and healing
How do hypothalamus treatments with the Theta Chamber work?
The Theta Chamber is designed to administer multiple, powerful treatment applications in a single session. These applications are designed to accomplish three main objectives:
1. Induce a theta brainwave state, opening the brain to suggestion, learning and healing
2. Signal the hypothalamus to return to producing normal levels of serotonin, dopamine and other neurotransmitters
3. Encourage the brain to create and use new, normal neural pathways (also known as “entrainment”)
The Theta Chamber treats neurological problems at their deepest level.
The following modalities work together synergistically to provide maximum effectiveness for the brain:
Binaural Beats (Induces Theta-state, assists in entrainment)
Designed to bring the brain into a Theta state, subtle pulses or “beats” are created when slightly offset tones are played through headphones. Heinrich Wilhelm Dove discovered this effect in 1839. The effect on brainwaves depends on the difference in frequencies of each tone: for example, if 300 Hz was played in one ear and 310 in the other, then the binaural beat would have a frequency of 10 Hz. The beats synchronize the cerebral hemispheres and help produce the correct conditions for neural pathway re-establishment (also known as “entrainment”). Deep relaxation during treatment is the result.
Vestibular Motion (Induces Theta-state, assists in entrainment)
The spinning of the Chamber throws off the brain’s natural sense of time and space, all while enhancing the flow of the person’s biomagnetic field. The spinning causes the inner ear to balance and gives off a sense of floating, which relaxes the body.
Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) (Induces Theta-state, assists in entrainment)
This is the main modality used to recover from repetitive, unhealthy habits, such as addictions. It is also effective with mental/emotional instabilities, such as depression, anxiety and PTSD. CES produces a deep relaxation which increases suggestibility and allows new ideas and subconscious thoughts to come to the surface.
Visual Light Pattern Stimulation (Induces Theta-state, assists in entrainment)
Light patterns are computer-generated and calibrated to synchronize with the binaural beats to (1) quickly induce the Theta state, (2) open the brain to suggestion and entrainment, and (3) promote specific healing rhythms.
Light and sound sensory stimulation access the brain through the thalamus, which is directly connected to the cortex. Light and sound rhythms and patterns can easily influence cortical activity, and can also affect neuronal activity when synchronized correctly. The Theta Chamber uses computer technology to precisely generate and synchronize these light and sound patterns together with micro-current signaling for maximum positive effect.
Micro-current Signaling (Signals the hypothalamus to recalibrate brain chemistry)
This FDA-cleared treatment uses precisely tuned, subtle electrical impulses to affect the neural networks and neurochemistry of the brain, encouraging normal function. These electric signals are similar to those produced by the brain itself. As an electro-chemical instrument, the brain constantly both produces and receives a wide variety of signals, from one region of the brain to another, and through the nervous system to all parts of the body. Once the brain has reached the Theta state and is open to suggestion, change and healing, the Theta Chamber transmits gentle, natural-like signals to the hypothalamus, in the limbic region of the brain. These signals encourage the hypothalamus to start producing normal, healthy levels of serotonin, dopamine and other neurotransmitters. Over the course of just a few applications of these signals, the brain is entrained into normal functionality, as new neural pathways are created and the old, addicted or imbalanced ones atrophy.
Through decades of research and testing, doctors have been able to determine the precise frequencies, waveforms, amplitudes and signal strength needed to treat certain conditions such as anxiety, depression and insomnia, as well as addiction to substances and stimuli such as opiates, barbiturates, alcohol, nicotine, marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and pornography. Each one requires a different, specific and precise setting for maximum effectiveness.
Audio Relaxation Tracks (Provides positive affirmations and promotes relaxation)
When all these forms of therapy are combined and synchronized, they elicit a very powerful and pronounced neurological and physiological response. Feelings of well being are almost immediate for many clients, often starting the very first day! Some report deep sleep and vivid dreams for the first time in years.
About Brainwaves
Brainwaves, also known as neural oscillations, are observed throughout the central nervous system and at all levels which can be measured by electroencephalography (EEG). In general, EEG signals have a broad spectral content (similar to pink noise), but also reveal oscillatory activity in specific frequency bands. The best-known band is “Alpha” activity (8-12 Hz) that can be detected in the brain during relaxed wakefulness. Other frequency bands are “Beta” (13-30 Hz) which corresponds with mental alertness and concentration, “Gamma” (30-70 Hz) which is associated with cognitive processing, “Theta” (4-8 Hz) which is associated with relaxation and near-sleep, and “Delta” (1-4 Hz) which occurs during sleep.
Background of Theta Chamber Technology
1950s
Starting in the late 1950’s when it was discovered as a method of pain relief, micro-current stimulation has been administered in many ways, and under many conditions. Early on, a device was developed that administered micro-current signals through the earlobes into the brain. The device was worn by the patient for 23 hours each day, for many weeks, in order to have the desired effect (such as treatment of heroin addiction, anxiety, depression, or insomnia).
1989
In 1989, Loran Swenson developed the Omega Brain 5000. It sharply increased efficiency by only administering treatment when the brain is already in the Theta state.
This dramatically reduced the total elapsed time of treatment from 23 hours down to just 2, while increasing overall effectiveness, because it is administered while the brain is most capable of receiving it.
Present
The modern, state-of-the-art Theta Chamber is a result of 30 years of evolution and refinement of Loran Swenson's original device.
The Theta Chamber and its associated treatments are:
- Science-based
- Medically supervised
- Safe and affordable
- Private and discreet
- Comfortable and relaxing
- Often successful when other therapies have failed
