Binaural beats meditation uses a brain entrainment technology that is designed to put your brain activity into a state that is similar to using traditional methods of meditation.
With traditional meditation it may not be easy to get all the benefits due to the challenges of focusing your brain.
It therefore becomes easier to use meditation as a means of relaxation, personal growth and spiritual practice.
No practice or special skills are required to engage in this meditation when you use binaural beats.
All that is needed is an MP3 player and a pair of headphones.
Using the Binaural Beats
These tips will help you to use binaural beats meditation:
1. Find a place that is comfortable and free from distractions.
It is advisable not to meditate while engaging in activities that require your full attention or during mentally demanding tasks.
2. Put your headphones on and switch on the MP3 player.
Listening to binaural beats helps with clearing your mind, relaxation and getting your creative juices flowing.
If you engage your intuition during this exercise it can help in problem solving and personal development.
3. Make sure you have enough time to listen to the binaural beats track.
Your brain needs approximately 7 minutes to entrain or synchronize with that particular audio stimulus.
To experience maximum benefits, listen to the beats for about 30 minutes or longer. Most binaural beats systems will have a recommended schedule to follow.
4. You can meditate with your eyes closed and simply focus on a single object like a candle.
This helps in focusing the mind and can be useful to add the first few times you listen to a binaural beats track if you find that the track alone doesn’t kick in initially – this doesn’t happen often but is worth keeping in mind, just in case.
It’s normally best to allow your eyes to close and simply focus on the music or rainfall noise that’s disguising the binaural beats.
Choose the method which works best for you.
For beginners, just listen and let the high tech track do all the work!
How it Works
Stereo headphones are normally best for binaural beats meditation.
The beats are sent direct to your brain.
Sound pulses of slightly different frequencies are directed to your two ears simultaneously.
In turn, your brain perceives a tone which is the difference of the two.
For instance if 210 Hz sound pulses are directed to one ear and 220 Hz sound pulses directed to the other, the brain will process them into 10Hz frequency, the same frequency that the brain produces in meditation.
Focus on the music or rainfall to relax your mind.
Omharmonics tracks are interesting and soothing and promote relaxation and hold your attention.
Patience is important.
The binaural beats help in putting your brain in a state of meditation.
Binaural beats meditation is particularly good for improving your meditation practice, increasing intelligence or mental abilities and relieving stress.
