Binaural beats can be very beneficial in improving physical, emotional as well as spiritual health. But in this world of polarity where light cannot exist without darkness, good cannot be discerned without evil, tall cannot be distinguished as tall with short; binaural beats can also be harmful to you without proper preparation as you will soon see.

About binaural beats:

If each of our ears hears different single tone frequencies, our brain tunes in to the difference of the two frequencies and generates brain waves correspondingly. For example if your left ear, hears a tone with a frequency of 200hz or 200 cycles per second and your right ear hears a tone of 203hz, your brain generates a brain wave pattern equivalent to the difference of 200hz and 203hz which is 3hz or 3 cycles per second.

About brain waves:

Our brain generates different brain wave patterns depending on our activity. Brain waves during waking are different from the brain waves when you are sleeping, in a sports activity or daydreaming. Different cycles or stages of sleep also have different brain wave patterns.

Binaural beats – brain wave entrainment:

Medical scientists have used binaural beats to help people with regards to improving health and treating ailments with psychological related conditions. Patients are ‘doses’ of binaural beats using headphones and targeting brain wave patterns designed for the specific condition.

Delta waves (0.3hz to 4hz) are targeted to help patients recover from physical and emotional exhaustion; theta waves (4hz to 7hz) to enhance creativity and perception and so on.

How to prepare yourself for ‘doses’ of binaural beats:

Your thoughts are very powerful. What you think constantly and deeply produces physical and chemical reactions in your body. Thoughts which are positive in nature produce corresponding positive chemical reactions in your body.

With this idea in mind, binaural beats can make its potency even more powerful. Thinking of positive thoughts or thoughts which make you happy or smile before having a binaural beat session can go a very long way as far as your health is concerned.

We are constantly preoccupied with our daily worries. Replacing that with positive thoughts and emotions can boost and enhance the healthful benefits of binaural beats

If you are targeting the delta brain wave which is associated with deep relaxation and restoration of the body’s physical and emotional conditions, a binaural beat frequency of 0.3hz to 4hz is needed. The best time for this is when you are going to sleep. Happy thoughts before the session combined with a comfortable mattress bed and you will surely be physically and emotionally rejuvenated. Your body’s healing mechanisms will work far more efficiently and to your benefit.

Whatever brain wave pattern you are targeting, always prepare your mind with happy and positive thoughts. Positive thoughts can heighten or amplify the positive health benefits that binaural beats can bring. Likewise, negative thoughts can cancel out the health benefits and is also harmful for your well being.

To increase your creativity, perception and learning capabilities; a binaural beat frequency targeting the theta brain waves can be very effective. Once again, condition your mind with positive thoughts before going into a binaural beat session.

The brain normally operates at different frequencies, depending on the type of mental activity involved. These frequencies are divided into four main types of brainwave patterns:

Beta waves (between 13-40 HZ) are associated with peak concentration, heightened alertness and visual acuity.

Alpha waves (between 7-12 HZ) are associated with deep relaxation and are considered the gateway to our creativity

Theta waves (between 4-7 HZ) are associated with the twilight state that we experience fleetingly as we drift off to sleep and are strongly linked with creativity and intuition.

Delta waves (between 0-4 HZ.) are associated with deep sleep.

As we slow the brainwave patterns from beta to alpha to theta to delta, there is a corresponding increase in balance or synchronization between the two hemispheres of the brain. Scientists have noted that these slower brainwave patterns are accompanied by deep tranquillity, flashes of creative insight, euphoria, intensely focused attention, and enhanced learning abilities.

Several audio programs are available that make it easy to control brainwave activity. The programs work by using a series of tones at precise frequencies to induce the desired brainwave activity. The tones are masked by soothing classical music or natural rainfall sounds. Many of these programs use a “binaural beat” where different frequencies are delivered to each ear. When listened to using headphones, the two hemispheres of the brain work together to integrate the two sounds & guide the brain into specific frequency patterns.

These synchronized brainwaves have long been associated with meditative states. The reason that binaural beats work to induce these states of consciousness has to do with the physiology of the brain. Each hemisphere of the brain has its own sound-processing centre that receives signals from each ear. When a binaural beat is presented to both ears, it causes an increase in the communication between the two hemispheres until the brain synchronizes the different frequencies into one.

Binaural beats that are embedded in music or background sounds can be used to enhance creativity and intuition as well as for related applications such as promoting relaxation, meditation, stress reduction, super learning, telepathy, out-of-body experience and lucid dreaming. The binaural beats can also be used with positive affirmations and visualization techniques to increase their effect.

The response to binaural beat stimulation may differ between people. For instance, its effectiveness can depend on the person’s ability to relax and focus their attention. However, this resistance can often be overcome by practices such as humming, breathing exercises, and biofeedback techniques.

Since the explosion of interest in self improvement over the last few decades thousands of people have sought better and faster ways to make personal leaps in their lives. Hypnosis, meditation, affirmations and visualization have been employed by millions worldwide in an attempt to better their lives and gain control over their thoughts and feelings. But what if there was a better way? What if there was a 21st Century solution to our age old problems? Would you be interested?

The ancient methods for creating life changes at a deep mental level, like visualization and meditation, have been proven to produce results. They have been used for thousands of years and will probably be continued for as long. However, don’t you think it would be great to use our technological advancements to make life transitions easier, more profound and a lot quicker?

Mind machines and bio-feedback devices have been developed in an ongoing attempt to make self improvement easier and faster. Such devices have been tested and shown to create real benefits. However, there is a much better and quicker way to get the same results using less time or effort. The new solution is Binaural Beats!

Binaural Beats were first discovered in the 1800s but lately have been updated with the newest sound technologies to create truly wonderful recordings that create real measurable and lasting changes.

In a similar manner to mind machines, which are very costly, binaural beats create very specific brainwave patterns. They can create states that are identical to the deepest states of meditation within only a few short minutes. Without going too deeply into the many benefits of deep meditation I will just say that reduced stress, heightened creativity and removal of emotional issues are the main benefits.

However, using binaural beats will also give you complete access to the subconscious mind. By gaining access to the subconscious part of the mind you have gained full control over the mind. This means you can make dramatic and fast changes in any life area you can think of!

This is, in my opinion, the most powerful aspect to, and reason for, using binaural beats. Binaural beats can be used as an aid to hypnosis, affirmations, visualization, subliminal messages or any other self help tool. Using binaural beats will ensure whatever you are using reaches the subconscious mind! Through the use of binaural beats you can force your subconscious mind to accept the new programming and implement it immediately!

All you need is a pair of stereo headphones, a carefully chosen binaural beats track and about 20 minutes. It takes just minutes for binaural beats to weave their magic and create very specific brainwave patterns. Once you start to listen your brainwaves will begin to match the frequency of the binaural beats and you will gain the mental and physical benefits associated with that brainwave state. This is known as brain entrainment and is an extremely powerful way of creating very specific mental and physical states.

After many years of research into hypnosis, meditation, yoga and spiritual practices scientists now know the exact brainwave frequencies associated with each. Using this knowledge the creators of binaural beats products have manufactured binaural beats recordings for a varied of different mental/physical states.

You can use binaural beats to be more creative, create deep sleep states with theta or delta waves, use alpha waves to reprogram the mind, or theta waves to create very deep meditative states. You can also create a blast of beta waves for increased energy and there are is even binaural beats that can be used to create feelings of euphoria!

When people are thinking of using Binaural Beats to aid their meditation, usually they have little or no knowledge of the possible feelings they will experience whilst using them.

There are many types of sensations you may experience when meditating, but with Binaural Beats you may experience them sooner rather than after months/years of practice.

Just as a brief overview you may experience some or even all of the following sensations:
1. Your body can feel so heavy that it feels like it cannot move, some people liken this to feeling like someone else is in control.
2. You may experience very vivid visualizations - usually in very bright colors. Sometimes these may appear as psychic faces.
3. If you are trying for Astral Projection, then you may experience your body vibrating, which is liable to freak you out if you are not expecting it.

There are, of course, many more sensations that can be expected but too many to cover in one post/article.

The main thing to remember is practicing meditation for relaxation cannot harm you. It is just a case of letting go of your built in defence system (which usually means if it feels strange then reject it). Go with the flow and you will be amazed at the relaxed state you find yourself in.

It is only when you are trying for something more advanced, such as Astral Projection or working on your psychic abilities that you would need to cover your back so to speak.

You must have heard of binaural beat frequencies. Neurophysiologists have used this for cognitive and neurological research. Ordinary people can also benefit from this discovery by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove way back 1839 as you’ll see in a little while.

A little about sound waves.

A sound wave is produced when an object moves back and forth for more than 20 times per second (the lower threshold of human hearing). Imagine when you fan yourself in a hot summer day, the number of times the fan completes a cycle – from the starting point all the way in one direction then going back in the reverse direction and back to the starting point – in one second is called the frequency or cycles per second. We cannot hear sound waves from the fan because we cannot attain the lowest frequency that our ears can hear.

The upper threshold in which our ears can hear is 20,000 cycles per second. We may not be able to hear that frequency because as the frequency nears the extremes, our sensitivity for those frequencies also diminishes.

Brain Waves

Different brain activities produce different brain waves. Depending on our activity; walking, reading, having a conversation, dreaming, etc., our brains produces different brain waves in the range between less than one cycle per second up to 40 cycles per second.

When you are in deep sleep or delta sleep, your brain waves produces .5 cycles per second up to 4 cycles per second. This is the stage where most body repair or healing takes place.

The theta state, 4 cycles per second to 8 cycles per second occurs just before we go to deep sleep. This is the state where most meditation practitioners try to lengthen because of the many benefits that this state can bring to our learning abilities, cognitive abilities and so on.

The state before theta is alpha where you are in a relaxed and a little alert state. Our brain produces 8 to 14 cycles per second of brain waves.

The alert state or fully awake state is the beta. 14 to 30 cycles per second are produced by the brain waves in this state.

Binaural Beats

When our ears hear different frequencies from our ears, our brain resonates to the difference in frequency and keeps in step in that frequency. If for you have a headphone and the right channel produces a tone of 200 cycles per second and the left channel produces 197 cycles per second, our brain resonates to the difference – 3 cycles per second. This means that if your brain was in a certain brain wave pattern say the theta state, your brain will shift to the delta state if it would resonate to a 3 cycles per second binaural beat. This is called brain entrainment of frequency following response.

Usefulness

Several people have designed binaural beats to help people achieve a desired state. For example, if you need healing; physically or emotionally; a binaural tone designed to bring you to the delta state is produced.

Some binaural beats are designed to give you a restful sleep. It takes you from the beta state, alpha, theta and then to delta. A comfortable mattress bed plus binaural beats can give you better and restful sleep which can relieve us of stress, anxiety or depression which we all need to rejuvenate us for another day of activities.
