Theta Binaural beats between 4 – 7 HZ, are a brainwave entrainment technology designed to put your brain into the same activity state as when you are meditating using traditional methods. Traditional meditation can be very difficult because it’s difficult to hold the mind’s focus, so many people miss out on its benefits.
Theta Brainwave entrainment puts you in a meditative state easily and quickly. It gives anyone a chance to use meditation as a tool for personal growth and manifesting your dream life.
You don’t need any special skills or practice to meditate using binaural beats. All you need are a pair of stereo headphones and an MP3 player!
Be sure to give yourself enough listening time! The brain requires about 7 minutes to entrain or fall in sync, with the audio stimulus. Give yourself at least 15-30 minutes of listening time to experience the benefits.
You can meditate with your eyes open, and focus on a candle to help focus your mind; or, you can meditate with your eyes closed, and focus solely on the music. Experiment with both to see what works best. Beginners usually find eyes-closed meditation to be easier because there are fewer distractions.
The reason why using stereo headphones, is because the ‘beats’ themselves are created in your brain. The word binaural means “having or relating to two ears.”
It works like this: each ear receives a slightly different frequency at the same time, and the brain perceives the tone that is the difference between the two. If 210 Hz theta pulses into one ear and 205 into the other, the brain will process the two sounds into a 5 Hz theta frequency, which is the same frequency produced by the brain during meditation.
When you start listening to this track, focus your attention on the music so that you help your mind settle into a relaxed state. Above all, be patient. Training and developing your brain takes time.
Binaural beats capitalize on the way brain activity works. Your brain is filled with neuron cells that process and communicate information through a network. Whenever these neurons are active, they produce a very small amount of electricity. This is the electricity that is picked up on an EEG when electrodes are placed on the head. The brain is constantly producing frequencies – brainwaves – and these have a close link to how we feel. In particular, when a brainwave frequency is low, we feel restful, calm and sleepy. Meanwhile, when a brainwave frequency is high, we feel focused and alert.
Binaural beats change your brainwaves, helping you get into the state that's most useful to you at the time.
To use binaural beats effectively, you need to listen to them on headphones so that the slightly different frequencies can be fed into your ears. The brain will only respond in the right way (producing a new frequency) if it hears the two different tones at exactly the same time (this is called a “frequency following response”).
There's almost no limit to what you can use binaural beats to induce, whether you want to be calmer or more energetic.
There is also a rich tradition of using binaural beats in forms of spiritual practice. For example, they can be used in conjunction with manifestation techniques for using the Law of Attraction, for facilitating lucid dreaming, and for promoting chakra healing.
You might be wondering about the science is behind them and whether it stands up to scrutiny.
The apparent science of binaural beats revolves around influencing brain wave frequency. Those changes can impact on your physical and mental health. But is this theory well ground in evidence?
The good news is that brainwave entrainment science is increasingly sound. For example, one binaural beats study found that exposure to them can trigger changes in brain arousal level. This can slow down or increase brainwave activity.
In addition, there's a wealth of evidence going back thousands of years. Technology like binaural beats can be found in Ancient Greek and Chinese cultures.
