Description

The Seasons sessions by Craig Tice mirror the ebb and flow of a year on our beautiful planet. Each session starts where the previous one ends and ends with continuity to the next Season.

Each session includes a natural ambience typical of the season and a subtle music track that changes in pitch with the turning of the wheel of the year.

The Seasons set is designed primarily for recreational use however the individual sessions are suitable for any mental exercise appropriate to the target beat frequency. As the intent is recreational, the sessions are only at the target beat for ten minutes.

All the sessions includes gamma noise, ideal for quieting the mind and enhancing recall and effect of the session.

These sessions can be run sequentially, however they are not intended to be looped individually.

Summer (Beta)

Summer is expressed through beta and the sounds of surf. The session begins at 14Hz (SMR) which is a general feel-good beat, conveying a sense of optimism as the season's warmth and light lifts mood.

As with the Earth's seasons, there is a little uncertainty at the beginning – stepping up to 18Hz (Beta) with a pause at 16Hz and a dip back to 14Hz before settling at 18Hz for most of the remainder of the session. Summer draws to a close and prepares for Autumn by stepping down to 10Hz (Alpha).

Summer is an uplifting session, suitable for brightening a dull day, contemplating plans for the future or giving the brain a bit of a wake-up.

Autumn (Theta)

Autumn is a theta session to reflect the slowing of life that comes with the end of Summer and the prospect of Winter. Wind and rain provide the backdrop.

Starting at 10Hz (Alpha) allows an active mind to settle before descending in stages to deep theta at 5Hz. At the end the beat picks up a little (6Hz) before descending into Winter.

Theta sessions are ideal for impartial contemplation of matters past, meditation and day-dreaming.

Winter (Delta)

Wind and rain, more intense than Autumn, are representative of this Winter. Winter is associated with delta rhythms.

Winter starts at 6Hz (Theta), steps down to 4Hz (Low Theta/High Delta) before arriving at the delta frequency of 1Hz where it remains for ten minutes. Signs of the impending Spring are felt as the session steps up to 10Hz.

Winter is suitable for meditation and power napping.

Spring (Alpha)

Birdsong and a gurgling stream say Spring is here.

Spring follows on from Winter's end at 10Hz, before stepping up to the target alpha beats at 11Hz and 12Hz then on to the final beat, 14Hz, leading into Summer.

Focusing on high alpha, this session is ideal for relaxation and contemplation.
