Relaxation With Binaural Beats…

Posted by Paul Kleinmeulman on 24 April 2008

Gosh it’s been such a long time since I have had a chance to write on my blog… I’m embarrased.

But this is a topic I just had to write about because binaural beats are especially powerful in this area.

Relax With Binaural Beats…

Binaural beats are beats that are specifically designed to reach altered states of consciousness. They do so by forcing your brain into certain brain wave frequencies.

This process is called entrainment. Entrainment, also called brainwave synchronization, is the practice of altering one’s brainwaves frequency by means of a periodic stimulus with corresponding frequency.

The stimulation can be aural, as in the case of binaural beats, but the stimuli can be visual, like in the case of dream machines. It can also be both aural and visual, like with a mind machine. You can also entrain someone’s brain wave frequency through electromagnetic radiation.

Every brain wave frequency range will produce a state that will correspond to a certain mind state. For example, if you brain is operating in the beta brain wave frequency range, the area of external activity (physical, muscular, nervous, emotional and intellectual) will be dynamic in your personality. This is the range in which your brain waves are usually in when you are practicing activities that require your utmost attention.

If you brain is in a theta state, then you will feel a bit drowsy like in an early sleep state. This is the range where most of our daydreaming takes place. If you ever were once on the freeway and couldn’t remember what happened in the last 5 miles, chances are you were in a theta state.

If you’re brain is in the Delta state, then you are probably in deep sleep. The delta state can also be reached by skilled meditation practitioners. This is the lowest brain wave frequency range. If you go below the delta state, you will be in what is called a “brain dead” state.

But if you are in an alpha state, you will be in a state of relaxation but still be well awake. The alpha state is the state between the beta state and the theta state and this is the zone you want to be in when you are trying to achieve better relaxation.

So if you want to achieve that goal with binaural beats, you have to go with recordings that target that specific range. There are plenty of different binaural beat recordings out there specifically made for that purpose (check out my set of audios at http://www.MyMindShift.com.

These recordings are designed to bring your brain waves into the 8 Hz to 14 Hz frequency range. This is the range in which your brainwaves are when they are in the alpha state. You will then feel as relaxed when you listen properly to these recordings as you usually would if you were to reach the same state through some other method.

But you will need a very good set of head phones to take advantage of all the benefits of binaural beats. Since binaural beats will only work if each separate ear is stimulated with a clearly distinct frequency, you will not be able to get results if you use standard speakers.

Never before have we been given the opportunity to “tune” our mind up to specific mind states with external sources of stimuli. If used properly, binaural beats can be a very effective way to release stress and dramatically improve one’s life quality…

How Do Binaural Beats Work?

How Do Binaural Beats Work?

Binaural beats were discovered by a Prussian physicist and meteorologist named Heinrich Wilhelm Dove in 1839. He discovered that when two different sounds of similar frequencies were sent to both ears, a phenomenon called entrainment occurred.

Entrainment happens when the brain automatically adjusts itself to the two different frequencies perceived and weeds out the difference between the two frequencies to create a new frequency or “beat”.

Let’s say you play two different sounds, one of 300Hz and one of 310Hz, to each ear. Each sound will be processed by both the left and right hemisphere of the brain. The brain will then weed out the difference between the 2 sounds (10 Hz) and perceive it as a binaural beat. The brain will then perceive a new sound that will be the average of the two sounds. In this case, the new sound will be at around 305 Hz.

Every since Heinrich Wilhelm Dove made this ground-breaking discovery, many people decided to pay closer attention to the effects of binaural beats and began to observe the many effects binaural beats can have on the physical body.

A man by the name of Gerald Oster released an article in the 1973 edition of American Scientific Magazine that set the whole scientific world on its ear. In his article, Gerald Oster demonstrated the different possibilities of binaural beats and truly introduced them as serious therapeutic tools.

Every since Gerald Oster released his article, more and more therapist began to study the actual benefits of binaural beats so that they can apply them to their patients.

The most outstanding feature of binaural beats is that they are really able to substantially change someone’s mood and state of mind. Some binaural beat recordings are specifically made for people who would like to get rid of the effects of depression on their everyday life. In some cases, binaural beats have been proven to be even more effective then traditional medication on severe depression cases.

Another great thing about binaural beats is that they can be used to induce a deep state of trance on the listener. This a great tool for people who practice meditation on an everyday basis. Binaural beats can help the listener reach meditative peaks that he would otherwise not be able to attain trough traditional meditation methods. Meditation is one of the most common reasons why people use binaural beats.

Binaural beats have also been used to help people focus better and were even used on some cancer patients to help them relax and improve the effects of the treatments they were receiving. Binaural beats can also be used for self-hypnosis and to alter some bad behavioral patterns.

There are new uses to binaural beats that are being discovered everyday and more and more people are developing binaural beat recordings to achieve specific results. The possibilities of binaural beats are limitless and are very promising for the future of physical and emotional therapy. Don’t be surprised if you hear more and more about binaural beats in the future…
