Get in tune with your brain waves

Insomniacs who listened to classical piano created in response to their own brain waves — a technique called brain music therapy — improved their sleep quality in four weeks according to a University of Toronto study. The cutting edge therapy boosts levels of melatonin, a brain chemical linked to sleep.

Snake oil you say? Science, says Dr. Galina Mindlin, MD, PhD, an Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry in Columbia University, College of Physicians and Surgeons, and the Supervising Attending Physician in the Department of Psychiatry in St. Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital Center. She has a PhD in neurophysiology and neuropsychology.

According to the Brain Music Treatment web site, brain music therapy is an effective, scientifically proven treatment for stress, insomnia, anxiety, and depression. It has also been found to increase productivity and concentration. Doctors record an individual’s brain waves and convert them into unique musical sounds. These musical sounds correlate to brain waves that promote relaxation and trigger activation in your body. The musical sounds are presented to you in the form of two musical files - one relaxing, and one activating. Playing the files promotes relaxation and activation in your body. The therapy is backed by solid scientific evidence, including double blind studies.

Herfin' USA - Making a Fine Cigar, Part 4

Doug — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 15:00:00 +0000

I hope you’re enjoying this mini-series on the making of a fine cigar. As I’ve said before, the process is long, laborious and considered an art form by cigar aficionados. It follows, then, that education and experience are essential to the full enjoyment of this fruit of a true master’s hand. And that, my friends, is the purpose of this series; to help you understand, appreciate and enjoy a truly fine cigar.

So let’s pick up where we left off. Our leaf has gone from seed, to plant, to the curing house and to the aging house. It’s been four to six long years since our journey began with a young plant in the fields. Now it’s time to take the leaf and do something with it!

Another oldie from Mike…

The Lone Ranger and Tonto are camping in the desert. After they pitch their tent, both men fall sound asleep.

Some hours later, Tonto wakes the Lone Ranger and says, “Kemosabe, look towards sky; what you see?”

The Lone Ranger replies, “I see millions of stars.”

“What that tell you?” asks Tonto.

The Lone Ranger ponders for a moment, then replies, “Astronomically speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three in the morning. Theologically, it tells me the Lord is all powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you, Tonto?”
