The brain consists of three main parts: the cerebrum, cerebellum and brain stem.
The cerebrum: composes most of the brain, in simplified terms it is involved in thinking, problem solving, memory, feeling and movement.
The cerebellum: located at the back of the brain, under the cerebrum. In simplified terms, it controls coordination and balance.
The brain stem: sits below the cerebrum and in front of the cerebellum. In simplified terms, it connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls automatic functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and digestion.
The brain is separated into four lobes: the frontal, temporal, occipital, and parietal lobes.
The frontal lobe: involved in problem solving, discernment, memory, language, personality, empathy, concentration, motor function, social and carnal behaviour.
The temporal lobe: involved in creative insight, memory acquisition and skills, organisation of sensory input such as auditory, visual perception, language comprehension, verbal organisation, long-term memory, and personality.
The occipital lobe: the centre of our visual perception system. It is involved in visuospatial processing, hallucinations, illusions, discrimination of movement and colour.
The parietal lobe: One region involves sensation and perception. The other region involves integrating sensory input. It is involved in writing, mathematics, language, visual perception, spacial navigation, memory, personality.
The cerebral hemispheres are divided into a right hemisphere and a left hemisphere. These hemispheres communicate with each other through a thick band of 200-250 million nerve fibers called the corpus callosum. Each hemisphere of the brain is dominant for other behaviours. Most people use one hemisphere more than the other, creating an imbalance.
The right side of the brain controls muscles on the left side of the body and the left side of the brain controls muscles on the right side of the body. Also, in general, sensory information from the left side of the body crosses over to the right side of the brain and information from the right side of the body crosses over to the left side of the brain.
The right hemisphere is considered the sacred feminine or chaotic side of the brain and is generally responsible for: creativity, intuition, visualisation, musical abilities, spacial abilities, non-linear thought, facial recognition and is dominant in the control of emotional processing and expression.
The left hemisphere is considered the sacred masculine or orderly side of the brain and is generally responsible for: organisation, logic, analytical, scientific, calculatory, linguistic, and mathematical thought, in addition to practical, linear, and time-oriented thinking strategies.
During meditation, the corpus callosum becomes deeply stimulated. New foundations of neural pathways are built which allows both hemispheres to communicate in sync and to a higher degree.
Whole brain synchronisation results in the individual feeling clarity, awareness, focus, improved memory, enhanced cognitive performance, a balanced mood, and a deeper sense of well-being in addition to reduced anxiety, anger and depression.

Frequencies used:
Primary frequencies: 144 Hz, 72 Hz
Secondary frequencies: 360 Hz, 7.83 Hz, 9.6 Hz, 6 Hz, 3 Hz, 1.5 Hz and their respective harmonics and undertones. There are many other beneficial frequencies that are barely audible or cannot be heard, and it would be too long of a list to name them all, particularly when the most effective have already been listed above.
