What are the relaxing effects of "Train Sleep," the train sound healing album that makes you sleepy with 1/f fluctuations?

Do you know about "Toremin"?

"Tore" can mean training as in brain training, but here it refers to a train.

Trains have joints in their tracks, and they make a "gatan-goton" sound at regular intervals. This almost regular rhythm resonates with our hearts.

Children, in particular, love riding trains. They delight in the rhythmic sounds, the vibrations felt through their bodies, and the scenery passing by. Do you remember your childhood?

●A healing rhythm that works unconsciously - 1/f fluctuation

As part of the "Toremin" project, we have offered various patterns of music. These albums are designed, from the perspective of music therapy, to gently guide you into the world of sleep.

The human mind has levels of normal consciousness and hidden unconsciousness, and music possesses the power to directly affect all these stages.

A crucial factor involved here is actually the rhythm of "fluctuation".

When you're engrossed in pleasant music, haven't you experienced your body swaying naturally? This is a relaxed state of mind and body, where you unconsciously and naturally sway. It's certainly not a deliberate swaying motion like a child playing on a swing.

In fact, it can be said that such unconscious rhythms are important for humans. This phenomenon is observed in both the body and mind, and acoustically, it has been called 1/f fluctuation.

Here, "f" refers to frequency or fluctuation.

"Toremin" reproduces the "fluctuation" found in train sounds, bringing pleasant healing to both mind and body.

●Experience "1/f fluctuation"! Recommended "Toremin" albums

Spring has arrived, and a new school year and new life at work have begun. For our daily health, a moderate balance of tension and relaxation is required, both psychologically and physically.

Therefore, "Healing Train Music", which includes almost regular sounds and ambient sounds as if you were on a train, is recommended.

During this period of new beginnings, the following two albums are especially recommended:

◆When you need energy... Toremin: Deep Psychology Edition

It works on your deep psychology, invigorating you for tomorrow with a virtual experience.

◆When you want to relax... Parasympathetic Nervous System Edition

It helps you control your parasympathetic nervous system effectively against your autonomic nervous system, soothing your mind and body.
