Yoga and Meditation

Meditation has been around for thousands of years. The results of many scientific studies have shown that meditation practice is beneficial. It works by affecting the brainwave frequencies in the mind, creating a more relaxed, productive state of being. Brainwave meditation (brainwave entrainment) has taken meditation to a new level.

Short, Do-able Sessions

Brainwave entrainment is done using a CD or other audio program. During the meditative session, the meditating person uses visualization and is usually guided through the exercise by the narrator. Sessions last between one-half hour to an hour.

Explanation of Binaural Beats

A binaural beat is created when one frequency is heard in one ear and another frequency is heard in the other ear. The binaural beat is the difference between the two frequencies that is created in the mind.

The Brainwave Frequencies

In Delta frequency, between 1-3 Hertz, is when sleep occurs. Deep relaxation, meditation, improved focus and better memory happen in the Theta frequency, which is between 4-7 Hertz. Alpha frequency is the state for improved learning and retention, as well as positive thinking. Alpha is 8-12 Hertz. The normal state of alertness, stress and daily life is Beta frequency at 13-25 Hertz. Meditators can select what state they want to reach and use the binaural beat audio that will put them there. The benefits of meditation are amplified when binaural beats are added. Stress reduces, as do anxiety attacks, breathing rate and heart rate. At the same time, the body’s immune function increases.

What Binaural Beats Can Help

Brainwave entrainment can help a very wide variety of conditions and problems that people suffer with. Chronic insomnia is one of these problems. A brainwave meditation with Theta and Delta frequencies will help sleep come. It has been used to help maximize the learning of autistic and developmentally disabled children. Depression, addiction and attention deficit disorder have also been helped. Other people use this meditation to help them focus, think more clearly and be more creative.

Entering The Mainstream

When this type of meditation was initially discovered, many people were skeptical of its validity and thought that it was just some new age mysticism that they could easily dismiss. Over the years, with more and more research proving its use, brainwave meditation has come into the mainstream. Researchers continue to explore the many uses of this technology.
