ABOUT AVE
The AVE sessions in the PAL36 with CES were designed to support
you in your quest for wellness by promoting various areas of the brain
to work together in a harmonious fashion. Through the experience of
AVE, you may experience yourself in a new and beneficial way.
Many users of AVE experience:
-
deep relaxation while feeling more energized,
- visual images, colors and patterns,
- the sense of feeling “grounded”and calm,
- the boost of mental clarity when resolving problems.
How and why do these sensations occur? Several changes take place
during and following an AVE session:
The first aspect of AVE involves dissociation. Dissociating is the first
step towards effective meditation. This is the clearing of thoughts and
loss of body awareness similar to what a Zen mediator would
experience.
Secondly, cerebral blood flow increases. Most cognitive and
emotional disorders involve areas of the brain that are low in blood
flow. A study by Fox and Reichle showed AVE increased cerebral
blood flow up to 28%.
Thirdly, EEG activity changes. The concept of entrainment is about
altering brainwave activity. Quantitative EEG (QEEG) studies have
confirmed the normalization of brain activity during and following an
AVE session. Brain activity similar to that of experienced Zen
mediators may be created. Aberrant brainwave activity in various
conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADD, seasonal affective
disorder, chronic fatigue, etc., may be restructured into healthier
patterns.
