The Power of Binaural Beat Music for Healing
With the advent of new technology and Binaural Beat Music, we have the opportunity to go deeper into a meditative state quicker and easier than ever before. Plus, we can have the same deep healing abilities that meditation brings to the mind, body, and spirit. Here is a quick overview of the healing abilities of Binaural Beat Music.
Binaural Beat Music
Here is an overly simplistic view of how Binaural Beat Music works. Basically, breakthroughs in music have shown that if we use stereo headphones and place a specific tone in one ear, which corresponds to one side of the brain. And set another particular tone in the other ear, which corresponds to the other side of the brain. With those two frequencies being just a few hertz apart, a third tone is created in the middle, which harmonizes both hemispheres of the brain. This also takes us from a regularly active brain wave on EEGs to a profound state of meditation. Thus, slowing our brain down, moving us into a different form of consciousness, a healing state.
This causes the brain to enter a state of entrainment, which is powerful. Even pain can be controlled and dialed down during this state of entrainment. And depending upon the frequency used, a proportionate change in the frequency of the brain waves can be created. With specific tones, Beta Waves can be entrained in mind for busy, active days at work. At other times Alpha Waves, which are relaxing, can be created which help a person feel at ease and help with stress. Still, at different times, Theta Waves can be created: dream state waves that allow a person to be more creative and feel relaxed. And during the evening, Delta brain waves can make deep recuperative sleep; thus, we wake up refreshed and ready for another day.
Here are my normal Beta brainwaves and my brain waves during meditation.
And there are also Gama Brain Waves. Gamma Brain Waves bring about a powerful connection of all the different brain areas, thus helping the brain be more flexible. Gamma Brain Waves are high-frequency brain waves even higher than regular Beta Waves. They can help with problem-solving, healing fear… and sometimes they can take a person into higher states of consciousness.
There have been lots of studies done on Binaural Beat Music. In fact, Dr. Robert Monroe did many years of research on Binaural Beat Music. He started the famous Monroe Institute, which specializes in healing with sound and music. The Monroe Institute has hundreds of healing recordings under the company “Hemi-Sync,” which are healing. And the Monroe Institute (A nonprofit organization) has an exciting program that takes people through 26 levels of higher consciousness. As far as I can tell, no one has done as much research into consciousness levels using vibrational frequencies as the Monroe Institute.
But there are also inexpensive ways to start using Binaural Beat Music. Even on iTunes and all the rest of the online music download companies, lots of Binaural Beat Music can be found. Music that can be purchased and downloaded to phones and other devices for as little as 99 cents, and they work.
In one double-blind study, it was found that using Binaural Beat Music had positive effects like meditation. In another study, it was found that those using Binaural Beat Music lowered their anxiety levels, balanced their hormones, and improved their quality of life. Plus, in other studies, Binaural Beat Music reduced postoperative pain. In fact, some insurance companies recommend are using certain types of music to prevent postoperative pain and for faster recovery.
I like good old fashion meditation because no matter where I go and what I do, I can always meditate anywhere, without the aid of technology. But the beats are for those getting started with meditation or needing a helping hand to relax. They can help you feel better about life and get rid of anxiety, lower stress, and blood pressure. It can help with addictions, get along better at work and at home, balance hormones, keep stress from causing heart attacks, and many more powerful processes. Binaural Beat Music can work wonders, just like meditation.
