My friend was having what amounted to a panic attack. Staring at white noise, perfectly random tv snow or static puts me in what is a dead ringer for the antianxiety , calming theta brainwave state so I asked her to try it. In 3 minutes i watcher her attack totally disappear and she reported total calm. To get the random static, one must have a tv pre 2005, called analogue, It may say that on the back.Take the cable off and turn the set to a non broadcast channel displaying only black dots jumping around on a white background, so called tv snow or static. Newer than that, which are digital, digital tv's dont display tv snow , instead display a blue screen,when turned to a non broadcast channel, or even if the blue screen can be defeated the snow is not random, same for the internet which is digital also. I turn the sound down all the way as its disturbing and merely look at the static, the so called snow. You can get the static when the set is turned to a non broadcast channel such as when the cable is off the set or if you turn the channel to other than 4 . Make sure there is no bleedthrough from a broadcast channel. The effect is so profound on anxiety and calming that it will be obvious to anyone in a few secondsseconds.. Also works that fast on totally aborting the manic phase of my neighbors mania with no resulting depression. Other ways of creating so called white noise do not work, they are not random , all frequency. I have reason to believe that it works because it puts one in the theta brainwave state, a hightly valued and strived for healing and relaxing state which is also attained via hypnosis or swimming (hearing the sound) dolphins make. Please post your experience should you try it..
PS, I just saw that someone tried this for her panic and said it did in fact calm her down, posted in my tv snow thread in bipolar forum .
