Use of Binaural Sounds
Posted by Mark on Nov 7, 2009
The use of binaural sounds – or binaural beats – to stimulate brain waves has now become firmly established in the scientific community. Not only can a ‘natural high’ be easily induced – which can last for hours and then repeated when required – but the binaural effect can also be used in a number of other beneficial ways.
If you are new to binaural technology, then essentially the process involves sound entering each ear at two different frequencies. This then creates a very specific, additional brainwave frequency that can, as scientists have discovered, beneficially affect the human mood and mindset.For example, certain frequencies can aid concentration, visualisation, create euphoria and improve intelligence.
Many are now considering the use of binaural waves as the new ‘digital drug.’ This is an unfortunate term to use as listening to binaural sounds is totally safe and non-addictive. In no sense can it be classed as a drug in the normal use of that word.
It has been known for some considerable time that all brain waves create a certain reaction in the human mind.
Deep sleep, for example, evidences a certain type of binaural brainwave frequency. Increased memory and focus are created when another type of frequency predominates and so on. Essentially, the whole binaural beat, binaural sounds approach is to assist the brain to naturally react to the two different, tone frequencies that it is hearing.
It is not a matter of self hypnotism or of forcing your brain to suddenly shift gear but involves a simple, natural and seamless elevation to a different, normal state of being. Using binaural listening – Cd’s are the most common media – is proving beneficial and popular. It can be used effectively in the following situations.
- create a natural euphoria, happiness and well being – the so called ‘digital drug’
- improve meditation
- enhance concentration and therefore learning
- improve sleep patterns and cure insomnia
- achieve a relaxed state
As a totally natural method of improving mental and physical well being, binaural technology is now a proven alternative to some chemical based medication. Of course, it is not the panacea for all ills and does not claim to be so. But, in this age of drug dependency, and the associated, harmful side effects, a ‘digital drug’ offers a relatively, harmless alternative.
