What are binaural beats recordings?

Binaural beat recordings are specially generated sounds that are designed to alter your brainwaves. Listening to Binaural beats can bring about different states of mind, such as happiness, creativity, or relaxation. Binaural beats perfectly safe, non-addictive, and can be used as often as you like.

How do binaural beats work?

For a long time, the scientific community has been aware that certain frequencies are associated with certain states of mind. For example, the alpha frequency of 8 to 12Hz is present when individuals are in the "zone", in "superlearning", and positive-thinking modes. This frequency can be verified through an electroencephalograph (EEG) reading, and can usually only be obtained through meditation.

You might ask, "Why don't we just listen to that frequency in an attempt to adopt that state of mind?"
We could try, however, the ears can only typically hear between 20 and 20,000Hz. Frequencies such as 8Hz simply don't register. But if we could somehow manage get the mind to hear those lower frequencies, we would be able to recreate such states of mind literally on demand.

A German experimenter, H.W. Dove, discovered in 1839 that by playing two coherent sounds of similar frequencies into each ear, one could produce a third "binaural beat" at a specific frequency INSIDE the mind, thereby directly influencing the brainwaves and the state of mind.

Which frequencies work?

Due largely to scientific research and many thousands of electroencephalograph reading studies, these frequencies have long been well-known to the community.

Further studies have shown that specific types of exposure to certain frequencies affect different mind states. For example, we know that a 30 minute session at 5 Hz can replace around 2 to 3 hours worth of sleep. Insomnia can be assisted with a 10 minute dose of between 4 Hz and 6 Hz, next entering frequencies below 3.5 Hz for 20 to 30 minutes, lastly settling on 2.5 Hz and fading out. Accelerated learning can take place at between 7 Hz and 9 Hz.

CAUTION:

Do Not use binaural technology if you are subject to any forms of seizures or epilepsy, are using a pacemaker, are suffering from cardiac arrhythmia or other heart disorders or are taking stimulants, psychoactive drugs, or tranquilizers without the expressed, written consent of a qualified physician. Do not use binaural technology while driving or operating dangerous equipment.
