I bought this app for my IPod that stimulates brainwaves and aids relaxation by playing a combination of sounds overlapping each other. The one sound is natural or a facsimile of natural and is the bubbling brook or light rain or rain with thunder or waves gently crashing onto a shore. The second sound is an electronic hum and the result of hearing both these sounds at once which are massaging your brain in some way I do not understand is that you can ostensibly reach a deeper state of relaxation than you can without the aide.
As far as I know the app's real main purpose may be to brainwash me into buying more Apple products or Cheetoes or Milky Ways. It has at least as a white noise machine aided me into sleep a couple of times.
But here in Byblos, in this room anyhow, the machine is on all day. The waves are lapping the pebbled shore and the mechanics of the building, the room's small refrigerator compressor or the hot water heater kicking on act as the electronic hum. So that last night while deciding where to go and eat we both Bernadette and I went into some kind of trance which disallowed us from ever leaving the room at all. Instead we watched a couple of movies and fell asleep suffering only mildly the pangs of hunger.
This morning the waves are lapping still. But as a pretty desirable breakfast can be had just four floors below I think we will get quickly to our much needed food whether still in a deep hypnotized state or not. And yet the breakfast room also overlooks the water and those constant gently slowly rushing waves.
