Natura Sound Therapy User
Guide
Congratulations! You now possess a very valuable software tool that has been
lovingly designed to help you accomplish your goals in life. Natura can help you
concentrate and focus when you need to, then relax after your work is done.
A peaceful mind and relaxed body lead the way to a happy and healthy you!

To begin using Natura, we suggest exploring the factory presets to become familiar
with the wide range that Natura offers. Don't be afraid to click around and explore
the features and settings. Be patient and soon you will learn how easy it is to use
Natura.

Have fun and remember that Natura was designed for what you
need: concentration and relaxation. Now you have the ideal tool to help you make
every day better!
Nature - Sounds
Click the round buttons to play the sound. Click the same button, which now has a
green center, to stop the sound. (Buttons with the blue center are volume buttons.)

You can select two or more sounds at the same time, such as one of the "ocean"
buttons as well as a "chimes" button. However, you cannot play multiple sounds
from one category, for example "birds", together.

Press the "stop" button to stop all sounds. When you press "stop", all running
sounds and volume levels are saved. Press "resume" to resume playing the saved
settings.
Nature - Volume
Drag the sliders to change the volume. Drag the slider to the right to increase the
volume. Drag the slider to the left to decrease the volume.

The blue circles on the far right are volume level indicators. A small green led
indicates that the particular sound channel is playing.
Brainwave Synchronizer
One of the most interesting features of Natura is the Brainwave Synchronizer.
Synchronizer
While users can reap many mental and emotional benefits from the nature sounds,
the Brainwave Synchronizer is an amazing gem included in Natura. Selected
frequencies, coming in through your headphones, can entrain your brain
into beneficial patterns. We encourage you to keep reading to learn about the
science behind the Brainwave Synchronizer (see What are Brainwaves? ), but here’s
a quick look at what the different frequencies can help you do:

Beta – concentrate, focus on a project (caution – too much can lead to anxious
feelings)
Alpha – relax, tap into creativity, solve problems
Theta – meditate, encourage deep relaxation
Delta–
Delta heal the body, sleep deeply

Put on your headphones, which are necessary to achieve effects with the Brainwave
Synchronizer.
Click on the button for your preferred hertz level and tone. The four tones are: C for
key of C; C2 for key of C one octave higher; G for key of G; A for key of A. Adjust the
volume as necessary by moving the slider. You can turn off the sound by touching
the "stop" button above the volume slider or by touching the selected green circle.

The "?" button gives you quick information about each frequency.

Alpha Waves
Creativity, Relaxation, Visualization

Alpha brainwaves are a gentle contrast to the rapidity of Beta state. This relaxing
state encourages the flow of creative energy and a sense of well-being. The Alpha
brainwave state is ideal for contemplation, solving problems, and visualization,
acting as a gateway to our creativity.

Use the Brainwave Synchronizer set to Alpha (or select one of the Alpha-based
Factory Presets) for 10 minutes for every hour of a study session. This gives your
brain a break from Beta Waves and helps you absorb the information. Alpha is also
ideal for self-hypnosis. Set the Timer for your desired session time.

Beta Waves
Alertness, Concentration

The Beta brainwave state keeps your mind sharp and focused. In Beta state, your
brain can easily analyze and organize information, make connections, and generate
new ideas and solutions. Beta is helpful for workplace productivity, exam study,
preparing to give a presentation, or engaging in other activities which require high
levels of concentration and alertness.
When you need to focus on a project, utilize the Brainwave Synchronizer in Natura
and select Beta or one of the Beta-based Factory Presets. Be sure to take regular
breaks and switch to Alpha Waves or Theta Waves for 10 minutes during every hour
of focusing on a project. Use the Timer to make sure you don't overdo it. Too much
Beta can result in feeling anxious, worried, or tense.

Theta Waves
Deep Relaxation, Meditation, Memory Enhancement

Slower than Beta, the Theta brainwave state is present when dreaming in light
sleep. It has often been described as being in a waking dream. The Theta frequency
is associated with stress relief and recalling long-forgotten memories. This "twilight"
state can bring about deep meditation, resulting in improved overall health, the
need for less sleep, increased creativity, and enhanced learning.

To recover from too many Beta Waves in a hectic day, put on your headphones and
set the Brainwave Synchronizer to Theta or one of the Theta-based Factory
Presets. Set the Timer for a session of 5-15 minutes to help you wind down from a
busy day, have a mini meditation, give your brain a break from focused
thinking, and/or enjoy a refreshing cat-nap.

Delta Waves
Healing, Deep Sleep

Delta state, when brainwaves are slowest, is commonly associated with deep sleep.
Certain frequencies in this range are accompanied by the release of Human Growth
Hormone, which is beneficial for healing. The Delta state, when achieved while
awake, also provides the opportunity to access unconscious brain activity,
encouraging it to flow to the conscious mind. Delta has also been associated with
people who have a strong sense of empathy or intuition. They can have a higher
than normal presence of Delta when awake.
Delta state can be difficult to achieve through brainwave entrainment. The brain
usually needs to drift down to Delta on its own from deep Theta Waves, as is natural
during sleep. Use the Brainwave Synchronizer and select the Theta frequency or one
of the Theta-based Factory Presets first, then switch to Delta.

What are Brainwaves?

Brainwaves are the result of electrical activity in the brain as the neurons
communicate with each other. The changes in this electrical activity depend on what
the person is doing. Our brains cycle through different states throughout the day
and night. These brainwave states incorporate Beta, Alpha, Theta, and Delta
frequencies at different levels with one frequency dominating at any given time. The
dominant frequency determines your “state of mind.” This concept is perfectly
described by Anna Wise in her book, "Awakening the Mind" (Tarcher/Putnam, New
York):

“Each state that you experience entails a symphony of brain waves, with each
frequency playing its own characteristic part. This finely woven, intricate
interrelationship of brain-wave frequencies delicately determines your state of
consciousness. While you are rarely producing only one type of brain wave at a time,
each category of brain waves has its own qualities and characteristics.”

Brainwave Entrainment
Your brain responds to vibrations from rhythmic sounds. Using the Brainwave
Synchronizer, your brain will mimic the frequency that comes through the
headphones. In this way you can entrain or guide your brain into different states,
even shifting your state of consciousness.

We have created several Brainwave Synchronizer Factory Presets in the Natura

program for you. Read their descriptions and notice their differences in frequency,
other sounds, color, and visualization and you click through them. You can adjust
these features to create your own User Presets.
If you are interested in creating your own unique brainwave entrainment sessions
from scratch, select the brainwave frequency according to the Beta, Alpha, Theta,
and Delta information. Experiment with the hertz level and tone (key of C, for
example) in the selected frequency. Adjust the volume as desired to compliment the
other sound(s) – nature or music - you may have selected. You can also add your
preferred color and a visualization to your own preset. When you find a combination
of settings that is “just right” for you, follow the steps for saving it as one of
your User Presets.

Presets - Factory

Presets
One of the most useful features of Natura is the Factory Presets option. The Factory
Presets can produce amazing results, especially when used with headphones
(necessary for the brainwave synchronizer function to be effective). Each preset was
professionaly mixed, focusing on color therapy, imagery, and brainwave entrainment
(see What are Brainwaves? ) for maximum results. You can also use these as a
starting point for mixing your own user presets .

Under "presets" / "Factory Presets" . Click on your desired preset to activate it. .
