Learn to Meditate Fast with Binaural Beats
September 12, 2010 in Transforming Life
In our fast-paced and interconnected world tension is on the rise. Now, for people who are new to mediation and other related areas, have to put more effort and time for relaxing their body and taking their mind to no thought state. Modern science has chalked out a solution for them and that is BINAURAL BEATS.
History of binaural beats: Binaural bests were first discovered in 1839 by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove. However, Dove didn’t realise the full potential of this technology, he merely observed that it occurred. It was another 134 years before Gerald Oster penned an article called “Auditory Beats in the Brain” which was published in Scientific American in 1973.
What is it :It was proposed that a binaural beat occurs in the brain if you apply slightly different frequency sine waves independently but simultaneously to each ear. This beat affect is created by the brain itself and is largely due to the structure of the brain’s internal wiring.
These binaural beats are auditory brainstem responses, originating in the superior olivary nucleus of each hemisphere of the brain due to the interaction of the two different impulses.
The frequency of the two tones is between one and 30 Hz. Lets take the example that the difference between the two tones is 10 Hz. This 10 Hz difference is experienced within the superior olivary nuclei as a beat . The brain has a tendency, through the frequency following response, to resonate at the same frequency as the auditory stimuli being presented. In our example this would be 10 Hz, which is that frequency of the Alpha state. If we offer a binaural frequency of 5 Hz, the brain will begin to resonate with that and produce Theta brainwaves. If we present a binaural beat of 3 Hz, Delta brainwaves are detected. Alpha, Theta and Delta brainwaves are connected to altered states of consciousness that can be used to reprogram the subconscious mind, eliminate negative thought schemas and release emotional connection to memories.
In layman’s terms all this means is that you can relax, put on some stereo headphones and let your mind synchronize with the binaural beat frequency to create real measurable changes in your mind and body.
Benefits: There are immediate benefits of using these beats such as the creation of relaxed states, aided sleep or even energy boosts. However, this is not the limit of binaural beat technology. It is also possible to produce very unusual states of consciousness like lucid dreaming, creativity, out-of-body experiences, and transcendental meditation, to name but a few. However, there are also very real permanent benefits from using binaural beat technology. This technology has been used to create some very dramatic life changes.
Dangers: Thousands of individuals use Binaural Beats every day with no adverse reactions. After all they are non addictive and certainly not abusive in any way. There is a small number of people that should never use these Beats. This should be read very carefully and if you have any doubts you should then seek the opinion of a medical practitioner before using them.
People who suffer from any type of seizure should never attempt to use any type of Brainwave Entrainment technology. These work by emitting a constant pulse of sound, which causes electrical impulses in the brain, changing brainwaves. These may bring on seizures in people prone to this complaint.
It is not advisable to use this therapy on children due to them being more prone to seizures. Even children that have never had seizures before can sometimes be affected by the like of certain television programmes or computer games.
