Exactly what are Binaural Beats and how are They Used in Binaural Meditation?
The scientific definition for binaural beats is; "auditory brainstem responses that occur in each hemisphere of the brain as the result of two different sound impulses (one to each ear.)" In more simple laymen’s terms it is when each of our ears hears a distinct frequency sound at the same time our brain will then change the two into a different frequency.
What are a Few of the Benefits to Using Binaural Beats in Meditation?
Researchers of the effects of binaural beats on the levels of meditation have found that they are quite effective in creating very deep meditational responses. Most people who are new to meditation have found that they can find their calming center easier than they ever could, using the more traditional meditation techniques. Some people who are more experienced in meditation, (like me) are finding that deep meditation levels are found much more rapidly. We are able to reach heights of deep meditation during our sessions not previously found to be possible.
How can Binaural Meditation Help with Meditation?
Scientific studies have found that, using subjects new to the technique, after a few binaural beats meditation sessions, the subjects of the study reported experiences including; accelerated learning, increased creativity, more and better sleep, deep relaxation and even lucid dreaming. For the subjects that already had experience in other meditation methods, the use of binaural beats meditation resulted in ultra deep meditational states and an increase in psychic abilities and out of body experiences.
Upon hearing about binaural meditation I was a bit skeptical, having quite a bit of experience with meditation I did not think that, other than years of practice, there was any other way to speed up the meditation process. When I had my first experience with binaural beats I was quite surprised. I had come across a free binaural beats download while surfing the net one day and decided to try it, so I downloaded it and began listening to it using my headphones at my desk. I was incredibly surprised by the intense effect the recordings had on me.
As I was listening to the relaxation music I became aware of two distinct sounds being played, one in each ear, within about five minutes I slipped into a deeply relaxed meditation without even realizing it. I found myself ten minutes later staring at the computer screen in such a deep state of relaxation that I did not even realize that the recording had finished. I have repeated this process many times and I am completely confident that the science behind binaural beats meditation will work for anybody.
Binaural meditation using binaural beats will work for both people new to meditation and for people with more experience. Binaural beat meditation is a great way for anyone to experience an incredible way to relax, relieve tension and anxiety, and to help you cope with the day to day stress that everyone faces daily in their lives.
