Meditation with scientifically backed brain wave music aka binaural beats 


The Brain
The brain is an organ of the body, and like all organs, it is designed to perform one or more specific tasks. One of the brain’s primary tasks is to be the control center for the entire physical body. Our heartbeat, digestion, temperature and all the ‘automated’ processes taking place to keep us alive are controlled by the brain. It accomplishes this much like a computer by processing both internal and external sensory information.
The brain also provides us with the interface of conscious awareness, what
scientists call ‘self awareness.’ The inputs from our five senses are ‘processed’
in the brain and displayed on a ‘view screen’ for us to observe and interact with.
Although the brain’s processing of electrochemical information is fairly well
understood, no one knows how the brain allows us to be aware of our self. In fact,
the brain has no specific location where memory is stored, so how our brain records memory is still a mystery.
This gives us two aspects of the brain to consider, the purely physical electrochemical process and the elusive memory and self awareness processes.
We will begin with the mechanics, the purely physical aspects of the brain.
Our brain is made up of billions of brain cells which use electricity to communicate with each other. Since brain cells are alive, they are always generating electrical signals; they are never ‘off’ or shut down. The combination of millions of neurons sending signals all at the same time produces an enormous amount of electrical activity in the brain.
This activity can be detected and mapped using sensitive medical equipment such as an EEG. Such map shows that the brain is emitting specific frequency patterns that relate directly to different mental processes all the way from wide awake and highly focused to deep, dreamless sleep.



Brain Wave Patterns:
The brain produces electrical patterns known as brainwaves.
These patterns can be detected using sophisticated electronic equipment known as EEG devices. Different brainwave patterns are produced during different mental activities.
If external stimulus is applied to the brain, it is possible to ‘entrain’ or change the dominant brain frequency from one stage to another. If an individual in the beta stage is presented with a stimulus of 10Hz for some time, the brain frequency is likely to change towards that stimulus. This is called the frequency following response.
When a brainwave pattern is practiced over a period of time, the brain actually
‘learns’ the state and it becomes easier to produce the desired brainwave state at will.

Binaural Beats have been researched for almost 170 years.
The power of Binaural Beats was discovered in 1839 by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove, but the idea never took off. 134 years later, Gerald Oster published an article called "Auditory Beats in the Brain" which was published in Scientific American in 1973. Oster's paper was landmark not so much for its own new laboratory findings, but rather that in the way in which it identified and tied together the isolated islands of relevant research done since Dove, in a way that gave the subject fresh insight and relevance to scientific research.



The human brain goes through many frequency cycles during each day.
Different frequencies produce different effects to the human consciousness.
Using this information, it has been discovered that the brains receiving and
operating frequency can be altered by sound waves. Many of the most powerful
brain frequencies are under 20 Hz. Since the ear itself does not respond to
frequencies below 20 Hz, Binaural Beat Technology came about which uses the
inner wiring of the brain to produce the frequency with perfect accuracy.

Difference Between Subliminal And Binaural
Subliminal recordings attempt to program the brain with the use of harmonic sounds and voices alone. Subliminal recordings usually have no immediate effects, and is doubted if they produce any effects at all. Binaural Beats work immediately, and can be felt upon first use. There is proven science behind Binaural Beats and the effects are real. Binaural Beats successfully alter your brains frequencies. Once your brain is in the right state to absorb, subliminal programming is dramatically improved.
Binaural Beats directly stimulate the brain by altering the operating frequency.

How Binaural Beats Work
Binaural Beats work by broadcasting two separate frequencies in each ear.
For example, if you wanted to tune your brain to a 7 Hz frequency, you could
play 200 Hz in your right ear, and 207 Hz in your left ear. The brain will
compensate for the difference between the two and produce a third tone that
will be exactly 7 Hz. This will result in your brain frequency being lowered
and tuned to the desired 7 Hz operating stage.

Each recording is different, and each recording is tuned for a specific purpose.
Example- 4.2 Hz and 6.3 Hz are both within the Theta Range, but exhibit totally
different characteristics. The four main frequency classifications are large and
vague ranges, and within these classifications are an array of frequency options
which all produce different effects. Also, studies show that exact combination of
frequencies cause many documented brain reactions.
 
Some of the common physical effects are:
1. The body feeling heavy and the inability to move freely
2. Total relaxation of the entire body from head to toe
3. Vivid visualizations, colors, and patterns
4. Separation of the conscious and subconscious mind
5. Anxiety, Stress, and Tension Relieved
6. Feeling of sedation or not feeling the body at all

Every persons brain is different, and every recording we sell uses different frequencies. There is no exact answer to what you will experience. Some minds are more open to suggestion, and some are stubborn. Many people have absolutely "Wild Experiences", while others have more mild effects. Although each of our recordings is specifically designed for a purpose, experiences will differ person to person.

Are Binaural Beats Dangerous?
There is no proof to suggest Binaural Beats pose any danger to listeners. Binaural Beats use the exact same frequencies that we touch upon everyday in our daily lives. Binaural Beats allow you to reach certain mind levels "On Demand". I suggest persons with heart problems, psychological problems, and other abnormalities consult a doctor before use.

Brain Frequency Chart
Extensive credible studies have been done with Binaural Beats in attempts to find out what frequencies trigger brain reactions. These studies have produced incredible results that link metaphysical abilities to exact frequencies. Below is a chart that shows the 4 most common brain wave classifications. Each classification can be broken down into frequencies that each effect a different part of the conscious and subconscious mind. Remember, there are many possible variations within each classifications, and studies show certain combinations of these frequencies produce different effects.


binaural beats brainwave pattern
Frequency range Name Usually associated with:
13 to 40 Hz Beta waves Active, busy or anxious thinking and active concentration
 7 to 13 Hz Alpha waves Relaxation (while awake)
 4 to 7 Hz Theta waves Dreams, deep meditation, hypnosis
 < 4 Hz  Delta waves 
Deep dreamless sleep

NOTE: The brainwave states are an indication of the most dominant patterns during any given mental activity. The brain is a dynamic, living organ. During these dominant patterns, other frequencies still exist and there is no exact, single frequency that our brain operates on.


For this form of meditation, we can focus on a happy moment, a peaceful place or anything that has ‘pleasant memory’ patterns. It is fine to drift from topic or thought to thought, but do not dwell on anything that results in negative emotions or worry. Remaining focused on positive thoughts causes the brain to relax into alpha and the early stages of theta.Don’t get derailed with ‘heavy traffic’ problem solving. Fifteen minutes of ‘highway cruising’ in alpha once or twice a day produces all the physical and emotional benefits, enhances the immune response, gives the brain chemistry an opportunity to recover and much more.

Here’s what scientists know happens during simple alpha meditation:
* Increase in attention focusing, and emotional balance.
* An increase in norepinephrin, serotonin levels.
* A decrease in blood lactate levels.
* An increase in beta-endorphin levels.
* Enhance the immune system.
* Reduce stress.
* Quick pick-me-up.

It is important to note that practicing meditation or using binaural sounds is associated with an increase in psychic ability. In this level of meditation, the association may only result in an increase in what is known as intuition.
You will feel the benefits immediately and the more you practice, the better you’ll feel and the healthier you’ll become!
