Welcome
OUR MISSION at WAVES of POTENTIAL is to provide our clients with the opportunity to reach the highest potential of who they really are, so that they can create, accomplish, relax, prosper and enjoy life to the maximum. Located in beautiful Qualicum Beach, British Columbia, Canada, we are an EEG Neurofeedback provider, using a highly unique, non-invasive, completely individualized and intensely effective method of balancing and harmonizing the brain. As an affiliate of Brain State Technologies™, Waves of Potential utilizes Brain State Conditioning™ to give people a black-belt mastery over their own brains and, therefore, over their own lives.

What is Brain State Conditioning™?

Brain State Conditioning™ is a highly specialized neurofeedback method of balancing and optimizing the brain. The methods used by Waves of Potential involve collecting the brain waves of an individual and producing individualized computer assessment feedback based on the data collected. This process then develops personalized exercises to balance and organize the brain according to this assessment. We call this tailored individualized procedure Brain State Conditioning™.

Our methods recognize that each individual’s brain is different, with its own unique patterns, habits and dependencies. Brain State Conditioning™ is completely non-invasive, using neurofeedback and the individual’s own input to retrain the brain and create new desirable neuropathways for optimal intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual balance.

Why Brain State Conditioning™?

Every system needs a control unit. The control unit for our bodies, for our mental and emotional functioning, for our consciousness, and for our spiritual perspective lies within our brains. In very simple terms, we liken the brain to a radio receiver. Even though the symphony may exist in balance and harmony in the atmosphere, if the radio is defective, or mistuned, we will hear static and interference interrupting the perfection of the symphony.

In the last 50 years, input (stimuli) to the brain has increase more than 10,000 times per second. For example, if you are 50 years old, your brain is receiving 10,000 times more information than it did when you were born. The human will eventually evolve, building sufficient filters to deal with this amount of stimuli, but until then, we will have to learn to rebalance our brains ourselves. Brain State Conditioning™ provides you with the tools to accomplish this.

How is it accomplished?

Brain activity creates electromagnetic energy – captured and observed as brain waves with EEG amplifiers and computers – which indicates how the control unit is functioning. In response to genetic predisposition, life experiences and stressful conditions, the brain develops patterns that are designed for survival and homeostasis, but may be less than optimal for growth and achieving full potential. Through Brain State Conditioning™, these old brain wave patterns are changed by watching visual feedback on the computer screen and listening to wave-based sound feedback through earphones. If some brain waves are encouraged and others are discouraged in different locations, the brain will begin to function differently. The feedback programs are designed to change the brain waves into patterns that are balanced and harmonized as a whole. This balancing, or conditioning, results in a brain that is functioning at its optimum, allowing the individual the opportunity to fulfill the potential of who they are without the limitations of the past.

How are we different?

The brain state training model used at Waves of Potential uses different methods than other modalities and neurofeedback systems. We focus on bringing the whole brain into balance rather than working merely to alleviate symptoms. We use algorithms of the optimal brain to choose protocols rather than basing our training targets on “the average brain” which is taken from population norms. In other words, our clients train to achieve the optimal functioning of their own brain, rather training to have an “average” or “normal” brain.

The model that we use at Waves of Potential also differs greatly in “intensity” from other methods. Whereas conventional neurofeedback approaches will offer sessions once, twice or sometimes three times a week, at Waves of Potential we offer intensives which consist of twelve one hour sessions or eight one-and-a-half hour sessions over the course of five days.
