It won't have anything to do with meditating like a Zen monk (Zazen and

Shikantaza are *much* different and involve much more than alteration of

brainwaves), but certainly altering brainwaves is a way of meditation,

especially if practiced over a long period of time. However, as a

stand-alone spiritual practice, there's nothing much spiritual about it.

It has to be combined with other things, but my viewpoint is that

theta/delta induction can be combined with other practices and can help

greatly (especially in learning to quiet the " monkey mind " and creating

what is sometimes called " yogic sleep " ).

 

As for discovering your true nature, etc... I don't think there are any

shortcuts. Not only meditation is involved, but contemplation,

discrimination, and other things. You certainly can't call yourself a

" yogi " by popping on some headphones or a S/L machine (Master Charles or no

Master Charles :-).
