Brainwave Shots:
Brain Science Or Big Fat Scam?
Can you imagine being able to listen to a 15-minute MP3 to turn on any mind state you want.
For example, want to experience razor sharp focus? Just listen to an audio.
Want to feel happier? Listen to that audio. More brain power? Pop in that audio.
That's what a new “brainwave entrainment” site claims you’ll be able to do. And, apparently, they have the science to back it up.
Today, I’m going to pull back the curtains and see if their claims are the real deal – or nothing but hot air.
My Brainwave Shots Review:
A Scientific Answer to Self-Help?
The Premise: Every one of your mind states or moods is marked by a distinct brainwave pattern.
If you’re feeling happy, there is a particular pattern. Feeling relaxed, that’s another pattern. Experiencing clarity and mental focus, still yet another.
The Promise: Listen to an MP3 recording for just 15 minutes and you can instantly activate any desired mind state you want.
How It Works: Brainwave Shots has apparently created a proprietary way to duplicate brainwave patterns using soundwaves.
So, supposedly, all you need to do is listen to one of their MP3s and your brain will automatically begin mimicking or mirroring the brainwave pattern of your desired mind state.
But, The Question Is:
Do They Really Work?!
To find out the answer to this question, I had to try it out for myself.
So, I headed over to BrainwaveShots.com and got started. Nice site. Easy to navigate. Very professional.
The Pitch. Before I chose my Brainwave Shots from the 35 currently offered, I watched a brief video presentation that explained the science behind the technology.
After watching the brief video, I selected my Brainwave Shot from the 35 options. These include:
• Brain power. Learning. Focus.
• Creativity. Relaxation. Stress Relief.
• Sleep. Confidence. Happiness. Motivation.
• Peak Performance. Energy. Pain relief. Success.
There’s even have a party mood Brainwave Shot!
I have a really full schedule at this time of year, so I went with their signature Energy Brainwave Shot.
Getting Started: Within minutes, I had my shot and was ready to listen.
It was super relaxing and – if I’m being honest – the music was beautiful. After the 15 minutes were up, I actually didn’t want the session to end.
The Result: Relaxing or not, I wondered if listening to a 15-minute MP3 could realistically change how I felt.
I opened my eyes after the short session was up and I felt more alive, clearer, and more energized than I had in quite some time.
Really? I don’t even know how to explain it. It was like I’d enjoyed a nice, long deep sleep, then followed it up with a HUGE cup of coffee (without any of the jittery side effects of caffeine).
It might just be placebo, but I actually felt younger too.
All it took was a few short minutes and I felt like a new person. It was actually pretty incredible.
My Conclusion: I’m no scientist. But I know my own body. I also know the difference between feeling low and feeling fully energized.
The results of listening to a 15-minute MP3 were pretty impressive.
The results of listening to a 15-minute MP3 were pretty impressive.
In reviewing Brainwave Shots, I was ready to expose its faults and flaws, and poke a little fun at something that seemed a little “out there”.
But, honestly? It just didn’t work out that way. Brainwave Shots actually made a difference in the way I felt, exactly as they promised.
These guys managed to turn a skeptic into a fan. Highly recommended.
Disclaimer: I tried one shot, so I can’t speak for the other 34 of them.
UPDATE: In the last week, I’ve used the Energy Shot twice more. Each time I used the shot, the results were the same: more energy than I had just 15 minutes earlier. So, it does what it’s supposed to do. I can’t argue with that, and am about to start experimenting with more from their range.
Rating: 9.5/10. Brainwave Shots are inexpensive, transformational, quick, and easy.
Pros: Low price. Based on proven science. 365-day guarantee. Most importantly, these seem to actually work!
Cons: No telephone support. Limited to 35 ‘shots’ in total.
