Explore the Science Behind BlissTrax

How does our custom sound technology combine with music to relieve stress?

The Science Behind the AppWhen the left and right ears are fed tones of slightly different frequencies at the same time through headphones, the brain processes the difference as a single tone known as binaural beats. 

After about 10 minutes, ‘entrainment’ begins to take place. This natural process of audio synchronization results in a brainwave state normally associated with the deep relaxation of meditation. The more time spent in this enriching state, the greater the cumulative calming effects that stay with us throughout the ups and downs of daily living.

Licensed professionals are using binaural beats more and more as a therapeutic tool. By employing innovative sound technology, the binaural beats that underly the music in the BlissTrax app are considered safe and natural for everyday use.

How does the app help regulate your nervous system?

There are two parts to the autonomic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system reacts to, and tries to manage, the frustrations, conflicts, and traumas of daily living. The parasympathetic component tries to restore calm and restorative rest. 

Optimally the two should be in balance, but the stressful challenges of life, over time, often cause the sympathetic aspect to dominate. We experience this as chronic anxiety, depression, sleep issues – even an array of physical health problems.

The combination of rhythmic movement, appropriate music, and binaural beats in the background strengthens the parasympathetic side, to help restore that balance. Regulating our nervous system in this way helps us rise above, and deal productively with, the issues of the day, instead of triggering the primal and stress-inducing ‘fight or flight response.’

How else does BlissTrax use music to reduce stress?

Synchronizing the pace of our movement with the rhythm of the music puts us in a high-performance groove that has an immediate calming effect on our minds as well as an energizing effect on our bodies.

The BlissTrax experience, like meditation and yoga practice, also helps to reduce the levels of the stress hormone Cortisol, which can cause high blood pressure and other serious health problems if it goes unchecked.

Coordinating our movement, our breath, music, and binaural beats also neutralizes the distracting and unhelpful mental chatter that typically fills our minds. We’re able to stay ‘in the moment,’ rather than being consumed by stressful thoughts that cause shallow breathing and tensed muscles.

Backed by cutting-edge research in the fields of binaural beats and music algorithms, BlissTrax acts as a force multiplyer for the healthful physiological benefits of exercise itself. This includes deeper and more restful sleep patterns, as well as reducing the insomnia typically associated with perpetual anxiety.

What goes on in our brains when using the app?

BlissTrax custom sound technology helps to ‘jumpstart’ several naturally occurring brainwave states associated with the peak moments of life. Overall, we experience this as a holistic refresh during workouts and other daily activities.

Since we are all different, users should experiment with each of the three BlissTrax modes to find the one that suits them best. You may also find that certain ones work best during different types of activity.

What makes the Blisstrax sound technology different from binaural beats?

Most binaural beats follow the same formula. They use the same frequencies, vibrational wavelength, and approaches to brainwave entrainment. But what if we could think bigger? What if we could innovate and evolve sound technology to make it more personally impactful?

BlissTrax has done exactly that. Using math-based blends of audio frequencies, unconventional layering of vibrational harmonics, and unique spacial technology, our binaural beats deliver an impactful brand of brainwave entrainment that you can’t find anywhere else.
