Relaxation Audio | Binaural Beats For Reliable Meditation

There are now a wide selection of relaxation audio tracks available. Unfortunately, most of these just offer soothing sounds or music. You might find that this helps you to relax bit if you are highly stressed, it probably won't.

Binaural meditation technology was first used in the early seventies. A process called entrainment puts you into a deep, relaxing, level of meditation. With no effort from you, it works every time.

Your brain produces electrical signals at different frequencies. These are categorized as beta, alpha, theta and delta. Beta is the level of normal, conscious activity and delta is dreamless sleep. The other two are in between.

Each side of your brain is making all of these waves continuously. The strength of each frequency is dependent on the activity you are involved in. Through meditation, we try to reach the more calming lower frequencies.

With traditional meditation, you can reach alpha and sometimes dip into theta but this takes long practice and is difficult to maintain. You also can't tell what level you are at.

The binaural beat meditation method plays a different tone in each ear. The brain generates an electrical signal which is equivalent to the difference between the two original sounds.

As long as you are wearing your headphones, you will be at this deep meditative level. You can't help it. Whatever you are thinking or feeling doesn't matter. You are getting the benefits of meditation.

You can't subjectively tell when you are meditating, but with relaxation audios that use binaural beat technology, the doubt is removed. This proven technology means that anyone can meditate like a zen master.
