How Binaural Beats Can Help Meditation
Using Binaural Beats in your Meditation can help you go “deeper”. Binaural Beats occur when your brain hears 2 different frequencies in each ear. For example, if your right ear hears 200 Hz, and your left ear hears 210 Hz, then essentially you brain is hearing 10 Hz. When you use Binaural Beats, you can control your brainwave frequencies. This is called entrainment.

The brain operates on four different frequencies. They are beta, alpha, theta and delta. Beta is the most active brainwave, whereas delta is the most inactive. Beta brainwaves are found when you are alert and actively thinking and doing. Theta brainwaves occur when you are in a more relaxed state, like day dreaming. Theta occurs when you are in a light sleep, dreaming, and during meditation. Delta is only found during the deepest sleep and during the deepest meditation.
There are different ways to use Binaural Beats during meditation, but I recommend starting with beta, then alpha, progressing to theta, and lastly ending with delta. Delta is not necessary, unless you are wanting to go into a really deep meditative state. Daily meditation doesn’t really need delta brainwaves, so descending to theta is fine.
One can purchase meditative CD’s or download Binaural Beats from various sources on the internet. Downloading individual files is a great way to create your own mixes.
It is important to note, that in order for your brain to “hear” Binaural Beats, each tone must be directed to the left and right ear individually. So, the use of headphones is imperative. Simply listening to them through speakers will not work. It is also important to know that the use of Binaural Beats is not recommended for those that suffer from seizures, or for children.
Because the use of Binaural Beats is deemed safe for most individuals, the use of them could be a great tool allowing you to go deeper faster. I myself have had great results using them, not only for meditation, but for sleeping better. I also find that listening to alpha frequencies helps me when I need to brainstorm. Get creative, and see what Binaural Beats can do for you.
