Theta Chamber
Experience state-of-the-art Healing Technology. The Theta Chamber - or Theta Pod - at The Giving Tree Collective in Oxford Michigan, is the only one of its kind in Oakland County.
What is a Theta Pod?
Using motion stimulation, binaural audio beats, visual LED light stimulation, Cranial Electric Stimulation (CES), and audio relaxation tracts, the theta chamber encourages the hypothalamus to start producing normal healthy levels of serotonin, dopamine, and other neurotransmitters that make the brain more receptive to healing. Theta Chamber can help with addiction, anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, and PTSD, and other mental Wellness concerns.
“I feel absolutely amazing. My therapist always asks me my anxiety number. She said a lot of people with anxiety live at a five and never have felt zero. For the first time in my adult life I think I know what a zero feels like! The stressful anxious bad day I was having when I went in is completely gone. I want one of these for my home. 😂 Thank you for getting this machine…I think this could really help so many! I don’t think I have ever felt this good, even after my best, deepest meditation.”

Can you feel it spinning?
This is one of the most frequently asked questions about experiencing the Theta Chamber. While everyone’s experience is different, most people will feel a brief initial spinning at the start of their session, but then not notice it. Some describe it as a floating sensation.
Your comfort during your session is our priority.
A Journey to Relaxation
Theta brainwaves are typically associated with deep relaxation, meditation, and creativity. They are slower in frequency compared to our waking state and are often present during moments of insight, inspiration, and vivid imagery.
Research has shown that the theta brainwave state is associated with increased levels of dopamine and serotonin, neurotransmitters that play a key role in mood regulation and feelings of well-being. This may help explain why people often report feeling more relaxed and at ease after a session in the Theta Chamber.

The ThetaChamber℠ is designed to administer multiple treatment applications in a single session.
These applications are designed to accomplish three main objectives:
1. To induce a “Theta” brainwave state, creating suggestibility, learning and healing.
2. To support the hypothalamus to produce normal levels of serotonin, dopamine, and other neurotransmitters.
3. Encourage the brain to create new neural pathways.
Inside the Theta Chamber℠ you will experience:
• Binaural Audio Beats
• Visual Pattern Light Stimulation
• Microcurrent Signaling
• Vestibular (motion) stimulation
• Audio relaxation tracks
The Science Behind the Theta Chamber℠
The Theta Chamber has shown to normalize and harmonize the brain chemistry within minutes.
Binaural Audio BeatsBinaural beats are created when slightly offset tones are played through headphones to each side of the brain through the opposite ears. This effect was discovered in 1839 by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove. The effects on the brain’s waves will depend on the difference in the frequencies of each tone. For example, if 300 Hz was played in one ear and 310 in the other, then the binaural beat would have a frequency of 10 Hz. These specialized frequencies synchronize the cerebral hemispheres and help produce the correct conditions for neural pathway re-establishment (also known as “entrainment”). Deep relaxation during treatment is the result.
Microcurrent SignalingPlaced on the ear lobes, this treatment uses subtle electrical impulses to encourage normal functioning in the neural networks and neurochemistry of the brain. These electric signals are similar to those produced by the brain itself. Once the brain has reached the Theta state, the ThetaChamber℠ transmits signals to the hypothalamus, in the limbic region of the brain. These signals encourage the hypothalamus to start producing normal, and healthy levels of serotonin, dopamine and other neurotransmitters. In just a few applications, the brain is entrained into normal functionality. New neural pathways are created, and the old or imbalanced ones will atrophy from disuse.
Visual Pattern Light StimulationLight patterns are computer-generated and calibrated to synchronize with the binaural beats to:
• Quickly induce the Theta state
• Open the brain to suggestion and entrainment
• Promote specific healing rhythms
• Light and sound sensory stimulation access the brain through the thalamus
• Light and sound rhythms and patterns can easily influence cortical activity, and can also affect neuronal activity
ThetaChamber℠ technology
The ThetaChamber℠ uses computer technology to precisely generate and synchronize these light and sound patterns together with microcurrent signaling for maximum positive effect.Vestibular Motion happens when the Theta Chamber spins. Working similar to VRT Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy. It uses the motion of the fluid in the inner ear to train the brain and body to work together harmoniously, and can enhance focus.

Dress comfortably.
You will begin with a consultation to determine the goal of your session.
Your Wellness Coordinator will get you comfortable in the Theta Machine and create your custom program.
A session lasts 30 minutes. During this time you will be reclined inside the machine, listening to headphones and wearing comfortable goggles that emit a light pattern. All you have to do is relax and let go for 30 minutes.
Experiences vary, but most people report feeling very relaxed and having a powerful meditation-like experience in the Theta Chamber.
At the end of your session, the chamber will open and your Wellness Coordinator will be waiting for you.

How long is a session and how many sessions do I need?
A session is 30 minutes. One session in the ThetaChamber will promote relaxation and stress relief. If your intention is to focus on improving an addiction or chronic condition then frequent sessions will be most beneficial to help achieve your goals. Results vary upon the individual. However 2 to 3 sessions per week for 21 sessions total is recommended.
What do I wear for my session?
You will be fully dressed for the session. We will require you to remove your shoes prior to entering the ThetaChamber. We recommended loose comfortable clothing for a relaxing experience.
Can I feel the spinning?
The feeling of the motion usually goes away within the first few moments of the session. After the first few moments, you may feel like you are floating. The ThetaChamber slowly rotates at a rate of about six revolutions per minute or approximately one full revolution per 10 seconds.
What if I’m claustrophobic?
Before the beginning of your session, you are given a stop button to hold. Upon pressing the button, the session will stop and the pod will open.
Is the Theta Chamber safe?
The Theta Chamber is an FDA cleared treatment. With more than 30 years of research, the results have shown Theta’s treatment protocols to be safe and effective.
