On a lot of sites you see unbelievable assessments regarding brainwave meditation. You can read phrases like meditate deeper than a Zen monk' or 'Meditate profoundly within minutes' or even 'meditate in minutes'. Most of this how ever is is plain lie. Not that there is no truth to to these assessments, but you do not get it just like that.

Yes, you will get entrained to lower brain wave frequencies but that also happens when you when you go to sleep.

What you ought to do is using all the techniques that experienced meditators employ. Doing this, you will get the most out of your brainwave meditation session. The following tips helped me, so I hope you will benefit from them also.

Relax
If you want to learn how to meditate, even with the help of entrainment, you will need to learn how to relax all your muscles. It is a basic skill and has to be mastered. .

In the beginning of each entrainment track your brainwaves are gradually brought down over a period of 5 to 10 minutes. This is the ideal time to relax every one ofour muscles. If you just bring you attention to each of the muscles, one by one, wanting them to relax, you will see that they just do that.

Fee all the tension fleet out of your body. Now do the same for your emotions. Just gently look at them and will them to relax.

If you skip this step, the CD will do it for you. You will not be able to go as deep as with the relaxation of your body a,d mind.

Pay attention to the music.
Not too many people selling brainwave meditation CD's recommend this, but I found listening to the track greatly enhances the meditation experience. At least to me it does. I have no idea about the long term effects, as I did not study these, but the subjective feeling of going deep into the meditation is surely affected. The more you can focus on the track, the better it becomes.

Try to stay awake
This is actually the similar to the previous one because, as you fall asleep, you are not concentrated on the music, obviously :-). It is true that staying awake is not always easy. The music brings your brainwaves to those of sleep. But now you need to stay awake. It is the exact purpose of meditation: to reach these states consciously, so awake. That is where the real benefits lie. You sleep every night, yet, you do not have any benefit from the meditation, as you are not conscious of your state. You need to go there fully conscious.

Do only one practice at the time
As you do not need to do a great effort to reach low brainwaves (after all, that's where the tracks are for). You tend to want to do a whole lot of practices. To mix them up. But that is actually not such a good idea. In this way you do not have any continuity. You fleet from one point to the other. Moreover, if you add a practice, be sure that it is in sync with the entrainment frequencies.

Otherwise your practice will tend to lead you to one particular frequency, and the track to another one. This is counterproductive.

At the end, open you eyes slowly.
Again, as in normal meditation, allow yourself to come back slowly. Try to bring the beautiful feelings you had during meditation back into your normal life. After all, that is why you do the meditation in the first place: to lead a better, more peaceful life.

Conclusion
Brainwave meditation is very much like regular meditation. So the same techniques to improve the experience also apply here. But now you have the added advantage of technology at your side.
