Binaural Beats And The Benefits Of Meditation

Tuning your brain with just your set of headphones!

Binaural beats are separate sounds recorded in a way which can focus the brain wave frequencies of the listener with no effort. Through a process called brain entrainment, binaural beats can adjust the mind/body state of anyone who listens.

Studies shown that specific brain patterns, which are easily created with binaural beats, which create heightened relaxed states. Such mental and physical states are ideal for learning and remembering new data, promoting a very relaxed rejuvenating sleep and heightened creative ideas - to name but some.

Before the invention of binaural beats technology, the only means to make specific changes in your brainwave frequencies was by learning deep meditation. Over the millenia this form of this art has only been possible for practitioners of meditation with over 20 years experience - such as Zen Buddhist Monks. Although it can be done now with binaural beats.

When you listen to binaural beats it is easy for any person to enter these kind of meditative states in minutes merely by using good headphones and a specific pre-made binuaral beats track.

Although the science which explains the process of brain entrainment through binaural beats is much too complicated to explore the fundemental premise is not so hard to to get to grips with.

The binuaral beats phenomenon was first discovered by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove when he was an Assosiate Professor at the University in Berlin. Dove found that when two sounds that are similar, but have slightly different frequencies, are given separately to left and right ear (Binaural) they'll create a pulsation or beat to occur in the brain - binaural beats.

In 1973 Scientific American published the research paper by Dr. Gerald Oster aptly titled "Auditory Beats in the Brain" that concentrated on binaural beats. This report showed how Dr. Oster took Dove's discovery and through research found that by listening to these binaural beats he could alter the brainwaves of the subject to match the internal beat created by the binaural beats. When this happened the brainwaves of the listener would always resonate with the same frequency as the binaural beats. Thus Oster identified that through the technology of binaural beats he was inabled to alter the brain's patterns of the listener and incite premeditated cerebral states.

To you and me the use of binaural beats would just be another scientific experiment which has no effect on life or everyday routines were in not because everything you do in life has a corresponding brainwave pattern. Many times the effects you wish to create rely heavily on the state your brainwaves are in at that time. Everything you undertake has a dominant brainwave frequency associated with it.

When you're deeply relaxed, when dozing, your brain has a certain frequency associated with it with certain patterns such as Theta waves. When you become alert and energized your brain is engaged in Beta or even Gamma frequencies. These frequencies are easy to induce by using binaural beats.

At those times when you create a state of relaxed focus such as captivated by TV, letting your mind wander or while under the influence of hypnosis, you have entered the Alpha state. This is also the state that is entered into with most forms of meditation. However people who meditate for years, just like a Zen Buddhist Monk, are able to enter Theta and Delta states while being able to stay highly aware. This can also be achieved with binaural beats!

These type of states, which take over 20 years to achieve by pratcising meditation, can be prompted within minutes using binaural beats.

Ok so this alls sounds great. It's possible to induce meditative states at will using brain entrainment? How does this affect me and you? To be able to answer that question we have to examine at the creating a meditative state and thus binaural beats.

Several benefits of meditation or binaural beats include:

1. More relaxed states.
2. Better more restful and energizing sleep.
3. Better creativity.
4. A slower aging rate.
5. Removal of past negative emotional events.
6. A reduction in Stress.
7. More energy levels.
8. Heightened focus.
9. More remembering of learned information.
10. Quicker post-operative recovery times.

This benefits of meditation list is a small example of the potential benefits of meditation and binaural beats. This list is certainly not extensive.

I'm sure you will agree then that the benefits of having a technology, that can create healing brain states that propagate healthy changes in mind/body connections, is very advantageous. We are very lucky to be alive now when it is easy to get access to various forms of this technology from Holosync and Brain Entrainment, designed for major self improvement, to individual Binaural Beats recordings created to induce focused states in mind and body.

The studies into binaural beats and its ability to alter the brainwave patterns of the listener shows that this type of brain entrainment is highly effective and can be utilized very successfully by anyone. I have given some further sites on the subject for further study.
