What is an Entrainment?

A session or treatment with Jason is called an 'entrainment'.

​

We use this word because your body has an autonomic mechanism that synchs you up with strong, external rhythms, pulses or beats, a phenomenon known as entrainment. Actually we entrain to the rhythms around us all the time, although we are not aware of it most of the time.

​

The relationship between the external rhythms and your inner rhythms or pulses is inseparable. In fact, our internal rhythms will speed up or slow down to match a stronger external rhythm. Here’s proof: Try counting your heart beat or breathing rate when you’re stuck in traffic, around noisy machinery, or listening to loud rock music. Then count your heart rate or breathing rate when you’re sitting quietly on a beach or listening to peaceful music in a quiet surrounding.

​

When you visit to have your “Entrainment”, you are reminding your body to create greater flexibility and adaptability between having a fast paced life during the day, and a being able to switch off, and regenerate during the evening, and during the night.

​

Other examples of entrainment include:

When a musician has the audience spellbound, he or she has entrained them into the rhythm.
When you meditate in a group, you feel the increased “strength” of the experience.
 

In physics there is less energy used when 2 objects are entrained with each other. In other words, we expend less energy when we are in step with the surrounding energy or we expend a lot more energy when we are not in sync with the greater surrounding energy. So we need to speed up if we need to work or if the energy of work is fast, but also need to be able to slow down when we come home or when its not needed. Unfortunately most of us don’t do that.

​

Entrainment’s downside
When you entrain to a hectic pace, however, it contributes to making you feel exhausted and spent . Our genes are not programmed to function at such a fast pace and we don’t know how to slow down, how to get our body rhythms to entrain at a slower rhythm. Most people don’t realize how detrimental it is to move so fast and try to accomplish so much so quickly—because the faster and more accomplished you are these days, the more society rewards you.

When you visit to have your “Entrainment”, we are teaching your body to create greater and quicker flexibility and adaptability between having a fast paced life during the day, and a being able to switch off, and regenerate during the evening, and during the night.
