Binaural Beats a Sound Technology for Consciousness

Binaural Beats are specific frequencies that can bring you into a profoundly
deep state of meditation within minutes using the latest innovations in
sound technology. They utilize a specific audio mixing technique designed to
alter the listener’s brain wave activity. By sitting or lying down in a
quiet environment and wearing headphones these beats can be used to create
Alpha, Theta and Delta brainwave patterns.

When brainwave patterns change it has been documented that there is also a
change in chemical reactions within the body which can have a profound
effect on your entire physical structure. In effect these beats have the
same impact and benefits of a deep meditative state akin to hypnotic trance
or transcendental mediation. Not many people can enter such deep states of
hypnosis and transcendental meditation may take many years to perfect. So
the immediate benefits of using binaural beats is apparent.

Using such technology allows you to access the subconscious parts of the
mind, the parts that are subliminal and just below the conscious threshold.
Binaural beats can be used with many other self improvement tools (such as
subliminal recordings, affirmations or visualization etc.) to increase your
personal development dramatically as it creates deep states of relaxation
and can put you into Alpha and Theta states. Therefore they can be used as
an aid to alter beliefs, heal emotional issues or create behavioural
changes. One of the great benefits they can give is a quick energy boost
equivalent to a few hours sleep. It is believed that by using binaural beats
you can:

1. Create deep states of meditation.

2. Boost your intelligence and creativity.

3. Slow aging.

4. Remove emotional blocks, old traumas and create profound emotional
changes at an extremely deep level.

5. Eliminate Stress & anxiety.

The beauty of binaural beats is that they can be used to induce these states
and create these changes with no effort on the part of the listener. You
just wear a set of headphones and let the sound technology do the rest.

The discovery of binaural technology is mostly accredited to Dr. Gerald
Oster. Oster first published research about binaural beats in 1973 in
Scientific American after he had conducted extensive studies.

However, this is not as well known, binaural beats where in fact first
discovered as far back as 1839 by an Associate Professor, at the University
of Berlin, called Heinrich Wilhelm Dove. Dove accidentally discovered that
when two similar sounds, that are only slightly shifted in frequency, are
given separately to left and right ear they cause a pulsation or beat type
effect within the brain.

However, it was Dr. Oster who uncovered the full benefits of using this new
technology when he discovered the effects that binaural beats have on the
mind and body.

There are many producers of binaural beat technology competing in the market
today. It is possible to create your own with the proper software. However,
an in-depth knowledge of brainwave patterns and their effect on the mind and
body is advisable before ever trying to create your own. There are many
forum threads on the web that claim binaural beats have had a negative or
even damaging effect on certain listeners. For that reason I believe it is
safer to stick to the tried and tested pre-made recordings that are
available for a reasonable fee. You can purchase separate binaural beat
recordings to induce almost any emotional state.

I, myself, have no experience of any damaging effects due to the use of
binaural beats. However, if you are using binaural beats for personal
development purposes their use can be uncomfortable. All my experiences have
been extremely positive, although not always pleasurable. Let me explain.

ECC machines have been used in the past to monitor the brain activity of
life-long meditators. These experts at meditation showed alpha, theta and
even delta brainwave patterns while in a self-induced meditative state.
Through binaural beat recordings you can create such states easily.

The alpha brainwave patterns are only apparent during a relaxed state. Alpha
brainwaves are the most apparent brainwave state encountered during hypnosis
and when we experience this state, which do constantly throughout the day,
we are extremely susceptible to suggestion. This is the state that you enter
during hypnosis. Theta brainwaves allow for the absorption of huge amounts
of information while Delta brainwaves are most apparent when you enter a
state of deep but dreamless sleep. It is the Delta state that is the main
aim of such practices as transcendental meditation. Although for many
entering the delta state while fully conscious can be very relaxing, for
most it is not, for it is during such brain activity that internal change
occurs.

By bringing the listener into this extremely deep state of meditation,
binaural technology, can activate major positive changes in your emotional,
mental and physical make-up. Now this can be a profoundly life altering
experience. You will find past buried memories resurface as the beats direct
your brain to restructure its neural network and raise your “comfort level”
to a new high. It only takes a few listening sessions before you see
positive results. You will feel less stressed in situations that previously
sent you up the wall, will be more focused in the moment and your tasks at
hand, much more centered and composed. The technology literally eliminates
negative emotional, mental and physical patterns. The discomfort I spoke of
earlier comes from the restructuring of your brain’s neural network as old
buried uncomfortable memories are triggered in the brain before the
connecting emotional response is wiped away. You are still left with the
memory of the event but you no longer have any emotional attachment to it.
Don’t worry, for some reason, it doesn’t affect positive memories! It may be
due to the natural state of the mind and body, for this system of mind/body
is always seeking equilibrium and harmony, which tends to lead to feelings
of joy and happiness.

Binaural beats is a proven technology that can create brainwave changes
which alter your mood and changes the chemical reactions in your body to
encourage faster healing and harmonious interaction between cells. However,
there is currently research being conducted to determine if these beats can
actually direct the brain to reformat DNA encoding. If this is possible the
possibilities are almost limitless – decrease in illness, genetic disorders,
a reversal of aging etc.

If personal development and self improvement isn’t your main aim for
investigating binaural beats (and don’t want to get younger) then the single
recordings designed to induce specific mind/body changes is enough. You can
get recordings for an energy boost, meditation, to spark the creative areas
of the brain, induce deep sleep and even one that acts like a digital drug!

All these changes happen effortlessly and easily. You will need a place to
sit or lie quietly and a good pair of stereo earphones. The recording does
the rest.
