25 Minutes = 4 Hours of Meditation explained.

There are multiple scientific articles and research on meditation and gamma waves. Gamma is the fastest brainwave frequency, which occurs when different brain regions fire in harmony. In turn, this is associated with moments of insight and peak levels of concentration.

A widely cited article on this topic centered on Tibetan Monks who mentally train themselves and consistently meditate throughout their lives. As part of the study, the monks meditated whilst researchers carried out an fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) of their brains. This revealed that the monks who were most proficient in meditation produced numerous brainwaves in the gamma range, whereas novice monks managed to create them in lower amounts. Therefore, with enough practice, anyone is capable of achieving similar results. 

MindSpa has produced a groundbreaking program, integrating brainwave entraining gamma waves in the form of a binaural audio stimulus to soothing, meditative sound compositions which last 25 minutes. It works just like an exercise routine to train your mind. And, similar to physical exercise, it takes time to get used to something new. As such, our team designed a system of levels to gradually increase the intensity of the waves so that you can experience all its benefits as you progress through your special training. 

Although you can achieve such proficient meditation levels with conventional meditation approaches, these take a long time to practice. Therefore, MindSpa is based on guided audio stimuli so that your mind can receive extra help to achieve similar results. 

The connection between meditation’s effectiveness and time duration has also been the object of scientific research. A study demonstrates that, for anyone who is not proficient in deeper forms of meditation, the minimum effective duration of their daily practice can be much lower (Hindman 2013). In order to experience benefits, an average meditation session should be 20 to 30 minutes in duration (Basso et al. 2019; Prasad et al. 2011; Wenk-Sormaz 2005). In their research Prasad (Prasad et al. 2011) showed that 15 minutes of meditation once or twice a day had the potential to improve the overall quality of life and significantly reduce stress and anxiety.
