Tranquil Moments® Sound Therapy
This unit advances the state of sound therapy by incorporating scientifically engineered sound programs developed by Dr. Jeffrey Thompson. His research at the Center for Neuroacoustic Research has helped millions of people sleep better, relax easier, and think more effectively.
Dr. Thompson has developed seven exclusive therapy sounds for the Tranquil Moments® Pro Sleep System: SERENITY, UNWIND, CELESTIAL, NIGHT, MEDITATE, FOCUS, and REJUVENATE.
The unit also incorporates five authentic digital recordings of popular nature sounds: OCEAN, STORM, WHITE NOISE, RAIN, and STREAM—recorded in the wild by one of the world's foremost nature recorders.
Therapy includes five calming sounds—RELIEVE, SOOTHE, CALM, HARMONY, and WHITE RAIN—designed to help mask ringing in the ears.
These 20 sounds are classified into four SOUND CATEGORIES: Sleep, Relax, Therapy, and Renew.
Sleep Sounds
- WHITE NOISE: The steady flow of a cascading waterfall, ideal as natural white noise for masking unwanted background noise and excellent for sleeping.
- RAIN: Tranquil rainfall creates a peaceful setting for relaxing, also effective for masking higher-toned background noise.
- CELESTIAL: Deep pulsations from string instruments coax the mind into a DELTA brainwave state, encouraging restful and rejuvenating sleep.
- NIGHT: A slowed-down chorus of crickets combined with NASA-recorded sounds from Jupiter activate DELTA brainwaves, creating a wonderfully calming sleep environment.
- BROWN NOISE: Consistent low-pitch white noise, ideal for masking outside noises and creating a calm environment for sleep.
Relax Sounds
- OCEAN SURF: A calm rhythm of waves and beach sounds to help with relaxation and sleep.
- STORM: The soothing sound of distant thunder and gentle rain on a lake, ideal for relaxation.
- SERENITY: Calming and delicately slowed sounds of ancient Indian tamboura and a gentle, rippling stream activate ALPHA brainwave patterns to promote a healthy, enjoyable state of relaxation.
- UNWIND: A soothing array of musical instruments and slowed natural human body sounds stimulate ALPHA brainwaves to encourage deep relaxation.
- REFLECTION: A drifting sea of music infused with THETA brainwave patterns promotes a natural and healthy state of reflection.
Therapy Sounds
These sounds are based on the principle of masking tone frequencies to help alleviate ringing in the ears (tinnitus). Dr. Thompson developed these proprietary sounds with multiple high-range frequencies built into the music to mask ringing while being palatable for listening day or night.
- RELIEVE: An echoing synthesizer melody with masking frequencies from 1,000 - 10,000 Hz and multiple peak emphasis areas.
- SOOTHE: Floating, rhythmic synthesizer music blends with peak masking frequencies from 1,000 - 10,000 Hz.
- CALM: Calming synthesizer music with a gentle stream blends in masking frequencies with peaks between 2,500 and 5,000 Hz.
- HARMONY: Drifting, delicately rhythmic synthesizer music blends with major masking frequencies from 2,000 - 8,000 Hz with sharp peak emphasis areas at 7,800 Hz, 4,500 Hz, 3,000 Hz and 2,500 Hz.
- WHITE RAIN: Blocks out noise, helps manage tinnitus, or aids sleep with the soothing sound of rain blended with white noise.
Renew Sounds
- STREAM: A rippling mountain stream helps unwind and creates an excellent background sound for daily activities in the home or office.
- MEDITATE: Enlightening tones of Tibetan singing bowls played at various speeds are blended with instruments and slowed sounds of a stream and birds to activate THETA brainwaves, creating an ideal meditative state.
- FOCUS: Authentic NASA recordings from Earth's orbit and Uranus's moon Miranda are mixed with music for a unique and effective THETA brainwave enhancing sound environment.
- REJUVENATE: Appealing slowed sounds of an Austrian zither and rain stimulate THETA brainwave activity to provide a natural, gentle, and revitalizing lift.
- YOGA: Experience inner peace and find a calm center with a relaxing synthesizer melody.
The Scientific Breakthrough Behind Tranquil Moments®
Humans experience different states of consciousness daily, each exhibiting unique brainwave patterns mapped by experts like Dr. Jeffrey Thompson. By understanding these brainwaves, Dr. Thompson developed sounds, music, and techniques to help the brain produce desired states for better sleep, relaxation, and thinking.
This work is safe, all-natural, and clinically proven, having helped millions of people.
A common technique used is “entrainment,” where brainwaves naturally adjust to the sound environment, vibrating in harmony. This principle is universal, found in various scientific and artistic fields.
Seven sounds—CELESTIAL, NIGHT, MEDITATE, FOCUS, REJUVENATE, SERENITY, and UNWIND—utilize these techniques.
Delta Waves (0.5-3.5 Hz)
DELTA waves are associated with the deepest levels of physical relaxation, dreamless sleep, physical rejuvenation, and healing. CELESTIAL and NIGHT sounds utilize DELTA entrainment to induce sleep.
Theta Waves (3.5-7.0 Hz)
THETA waves reflect a state of mind attuned to intense creativity, visualization, imagination, problem-solving (non-sleep state), and emotional healing (sleep state). They are produced during deep meditation, dreaming, and daydreaming. Rapid eye movement (REM) is common in this state. MEDITATE, FOCUS, and REJUVENATE sounds utilize THETA entrainment to stimulate mental renewal.
Alpha Waves (7.0–13.0 Hz)
ALPHA waves indicate an alert state with a quiet mind, like after completing a task and resting. Attention may be focused outward for problem-solving or inward for an alert meditative state. Increased ALPHA waves are often present in the brainwaves of people who practice meditation, yoga, and Tai Chi. SERENITY and UNWIND sounds utilize ALPHA entrainment to promote stress reduction or an alert state of relaxation.
