Brain Wave Vibration is so easy that you can learn it in a minute and offers incredible results. But what does the scientific world have to say about the idea that simply shaking your head can have so many positive benefits?

The Dahn Yoga world came abuzz with news of the recent June publication of research results on Brain Wave Vibration in an international science journal, Neuroscience Letters. Finally, we’ve got the scientific thumbs up for Brain Wave Vibration: it really works!

The study was funded by the Korean Ministry of Science and Technology and conducted by scientists from various national research centers in Korea, including some from the prestigious Seoul National University and the Korea Institute of Brain Science. It involved a control group of 57 healthy adults and 67 people who practiced Brain Wave Vibration for an average of 3.5 years. The study measured stress, positive and negative affect, and stress-related hormones; and the scientists who carried out the research found meaningful differences between the Brain Wave Vibration group and the control group.

Sometimes, it feels like scientific research only “proves” what you already know. In this case, the study found that people who practiced Brain Wave Vibration regularly had less stress than those who didn’t. In other words, in the same situation, they didn’t experience the same level of stress.

For the people who practiced meditation using Brain Wave Vibration, stress had less influence over their mood. They learned how not to be controlled by their stress, and thus they had a better handle on their emotions regardless of the circumstances.  They were better able to feel how they wanted, when they wanted.  This is something that can essentially be done through mindfulness, by staying aware and mastering the self. We can conclude by the results of this study that Brain Wave Vibration is an effective means of enhancing mindfulness, for a richer and more fulfilling life.
