Lullaby of Brain Waves -- Brain Music Therapy Offers Insomnia Sufferers a Safe Alternative to Sleeping Pills

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 22, 2011 -- Patty Tucker, PA-C of Santa Rosa, CA has been licensed as the nation’s 21st provider of Brain Music Therapy. This ground breaking technology translates an individual’s own brain waves into music that, when listened to later, can help relieve symptoms of insomnia, anxiety, depression and stress. Furthermore, it can also help one to quickly become alert, focused and achieve optimal performance whether in business, on stage or on the playing field.

According to the National Sleep Foundation, 40 million Americans suffer from insomnia at least a few nights per week. Ms. Tucker, a sleep coach and consultant states, “As a sleep specialist, being able to offer a non-drug, side-effect free approach to improving sleep, mood and performance is like a dream come true.”

Brain Music Therapy (BMT) offers people a chance to tap into their own inner sources to create a truly individualized solution to some very big problems. “Think of using the relaxing music files as triggering early memories of a time when we were held, loved and safe in the arms of someone who sang us a lullaby. Even if the world now seems chaotic and sometimes treacherous, our cells remember that kind of calm; that kind of peace. BMT can tap into that,” Tucker adds.

The effects sound pleasant, even blissful, but the process is pure science. Brain Music Therapy was first developed by Dr. Iakov Levine at the Moscow Medical Academy in the 1990’s. It has been tested and refined with multiple controlled studies carried out in Europe, Canada and the United States. The technology was brought to the U.S. by neuropsychiatrist Galina Mindlin, MD. PhD in 2004. Dr. Mindlin and her colleagues at Columbia University in New York have recently published even more confirming evidence of the effectiveness of this process in improving alertness and focus in addition to alleviating anxiety-based insomnia.

The procedure is not complicated, even if the science and the software of it is. Patty Tucker demonstrates the BMT equipment in her Santa Rosa office. Using a simple rubberized mesh cap she places standard EEG electrodes against the scalp and connects these to a recording device. The patient sits quietly in a comfortable lounge chair while the computer records the electrical activity of the resting brain. It takes all of about 20 minutes. The recording is then transferred to the technicians in Russia who run it all through the carefully guarded, proprietary translation software that produce the musical files. Sounding like free flowing piano compositions, these files are then recorded on CDs for return to the patient in two to three weeks.

Patty explains that brainwaves are essentially a combination of changing amplitudes and frequencies, as is music. The translation from one to the other is not hard to imagine. But like fingerprints, one’s own brainwave patterns are unique. The music that is eventually produced is likewise unique and has never been heard before in this world and will be unlike anyone else’s “music”.

Brain Music Therapy is available through specialists in 10 states and Washington DC. Patty Tucker is the newest provider and the only one in the Western United States between San Francisco and Canada.
