Music helps - binaural beats

In my previous article "Music helps - increase brainpower", I told how I started my journey with music as a tool for health and self-growth. I started listening to classical music, in order to help me with studying and memorizing things. I started to feel the power of music. So I began looking for more information about music that helps. So I found out about brainwave entertainment music.

What is brainwave entertainment music?

In short, it is music that tunes your brain into a certain state, which is related to something we want to achieve, for example, meditation state. Different states of mind have different frequencies (actually ranges of frequencies). So brainwave entertainment music produces frequencies that influence brain to switch into the desired state. 

Generally speaking, these are major categories of brain waves:

Beta brain waves - 12 Hz to 30 Hz  (daily life, totally awake, focused)
Alpha brain waves - 8 Hz to 12 Hz (relaxed state, but you are aware, lower frequencies are related to high meditation state, open to suggestions)
Theta brain waves - 4 Hz to 7 Hz (deep meditation state, access subconscious mind, healing state)
Delta brain waves - 0.1 Hz to 4 Hz (very deep meditation, sleep, deep sleep)

There also levels for each of these categories as you can see. For example there are high, medium and low beta brain waves. High beta frequencies are related to more stress, you can become more relaxed when reducing them. In high alpha state you can study and more easily memorize things while being calm and relaxed, but in low alpha state you are too much relaxed for focing, but it is great for repeating positive affirmations. Often low alpha state is when you awake from sleep, but have not yet opened your eyes. You are aware of things going around you, but are not focused. Theta state, as said before, is a state of deep meditation. And in delta state you fall in sleep. So human brain often reaches all of those states. When you meditate deeply, you are into theta state, but have you noticed that often meditation goes into sleep? That's is a usual process of falling asleep. So the aim of brainwave entertainment music is to hold your brain into certain state for a longer period of time. 

What you can get from brainwave entertainment music?

Brain sends signals to all cells in your body. By listening to brainwave music, certain parts of your brain are being stimulated, so certain signals are sent to your all organs and cells, making you feel differently. You can get better health, improve memory, stimulate meditation ability, increasing mental power, overcome obstacles in your life, change your attitude and mood in any situation. That is just by listening to a specific music.

There are three types of brainwave entertainment music - binaural beats, isochronic tones and monaural beats.

Today I am going to tell you about my experience with binaural beats. Binaural beats technology is the oldest of those three. The effect of binaural beats was discovered in 1839 by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove. Great experiments have been made in the last 50 years. And now there are many tested and effective audio  programs, sessions, meditation programs, that are based on binaural beats. I have to say though that nowadays it's more often that those three types of technologies work together to offer even better results. Some people better react to binaural beats, while others prefer isochronic tones. So they are often mixed up to please both audiences.

Binaural beats is the first brainwave entertainment technology I got to know about. I have tested many different audio sessions and I got to conslusion that not all of them work fine on me . I somehow do not react to some of them. So this is my advice to you - don't give up if you are not satisfied with a specific product, try another. Not all of them is for everybody.

How binaural beats work?

The principle is simple. Different frequencies are played to left and right ear (left and right audio channel) and the resulting frequency is the difference between them. So it is very important to use stereo headphones when listening to binaural beats.

As an example, if 100hz is recorder in the right channel and 107 in the left, 7hz is the resulting frequency and is related to theta state. Theta frequency can also be carried by

If you ask, why not to play 7 hz straight into ears, I say that's because human ear can't hear that low frquency (human can't hear under 20 hz). So carrier frequencies  are needed. Brain can feel the difference between left and right ear, and will compensate the difference.

A good article about binaural beats is here.

Binaural beats music most likely consist of different binaural beats. For example, if the audio session is created for allowing you to experience astral projection, 6.3 hz resulting frequency is required, but most likely the music will start with beta frequencies, taking you down all the way to the required state. And in the end it will either take you up to full awareness or take you to the sleep. 

VERY IMPORTANT - Only lsten to binaural beats when you are in a comfortable position and no one will interrupt you. DO NOT listen while driving or doing any activity that requires to focus. 

Next I will post some frequencies and what they affect.

Here it goes.

• 11 - 14 Hz - Increased focus and awareness
• 12 - 14 Hz - Absorb information passively. Learning state

Theta state

• 4.5 Hz - Tibetan state of consciousness
• 4.9 Hz - Relaxation and deeper sleep
• 4.9 Hz - Relaxation, meditation
• 5 Hz - Reduces sleep required
• 5.5 Hz - Intuition
• 6.5 Hz - Theta frequency center. Increase creativity
• 7.5 Hz - Creative thoughts. Problem solving
• 7.83 Hz - Schumann earth resonance. Meditative, revitalizing
• 3 - 8 Hz - Deep relaxation, meditation. Lucid dreaming
• 3 - 8 Hz - Increased memory, focus, creativity
• 4 - 7 Hz - Profound inner peace, emotional healing. Lowers mental fatigue
• 4 - 7 Hz - Deep meditation, near-sleep brainwaves

Delta state

• 0.5 Hz - Relaxation. Release headaches
• 0.5 - 1.5 Hz - Release endorphin so release Pain  
• 0.9 Hz - Euphoric 
• 1 Hz - Well being. Harmony.
• 2.5 Hz - Production of endogenous opiates (pain killers, reduce anxiety)
• 2.5 Hz - Relieves migraine pain. 
• 3.4 Hz - Helps achieve restful sleep
• 3.5 Hz - Feeling of unity with everything. Whole being regeneration
• 3.9 Hz - Self renewal, enhanced inner awareness
• •4.0 Hz - Vital for memory and learning. Problem solving.
• •1 - 3 Hz - Profound relaxation, restorative sleep. Tranquility and peace

I have created a short video, which demonstrates, how binaural beats work.

You can create your own binaural beats with Gnaural binaural beat sound generator. For better experience mix them with nature sounds, like ocean waves or bird songs (or whatever you like). That way you can create you own binaural beats music. 

The first binaural beats audio sessions I listened to are created by iDoser. This company offer different kind of audio sessions. They call their audio sessions as digital drugs. 

  

I-Doser.com I-Doser.com has hundreds of doses available for download to help you achieve a simulated mood or experience. All our doses are VERY POWERFUL DIGITAL DRUGS that will have a powerful effect on your mood. Visit us today and let us show you how strong our digital doses are.

I have used mostly spiritual, sleep and pure sets of binaural beats music, created by iDoser. Most of them work fine on me. Try it by yourself!

So finding out about binaural beats was my next step into the world of healing music. In one of the next articles about music that helps, I will look closer to isochronic tones. I am a big fan of them right now, so I would like to share my knoledge with you.

Music helps - increase brainpower

Music is one of the reasons why I enjoy living. Music is the elixir of life. It gives so much to me. It's like food, you know. I can't live without food and so without music. I don't know what's your relationships with music, but one thing I know for sure - music helps anyone.

You have definitely heard about how music affects our lifes. Music have the power to heal, isnpire, motivate and increase our abilities to work, learn.

It's a common belief that there is the good music that heals and there is the bad music that destroys. I say - there is only music that heals, there is no such thing as harmful music. (though there is music that is not much of a music anymore, but that's another story).

There is also a war between music fans. One will say that rock is the only good music, while others will consider it too loud and not for their ears. One will say that metal is a music from satan, others will laugh about modern pop songs, saying - there is no deep meaning in them.

I say - music exists because people feel meditation while listening. That's right, music is the most accessible source of meditation. So all music is great. But not all music is for all people.
Actually, people are listen to music because they have this need for meditation. Music fulfills that need. We like certain music, because we feel meditation while listening to that music.

Many people are into certain music genre, but there are also people like me, who takes something from all music styles. I really enjoy wide variety of music. I listen to classical music (most of the young people find this music boring, but I enjoy), rock, metal, blues, jazz, pop, new age. You see, I enjoy the whole richness of music.

One will say - while meditate you should listen to classical music or new age meditation music. I say - I can pretty well meditate while listening to metal. And that is truth. Meditation is about enjoying the moment. I listen to metal and I feel great meditation, I feel the drum beats and guitar riffs in the whole body.

Off course if you want to have calm meditation experience I advice listening to new age music with brainwave entertainment technologies, which help to relax.

The scientists have proven that music heals. They discovered it while studying classical music. Now there is such thing as music therapy, which has grown from those discoveries. Nowadays we know such technologies as binaural beats and isochronic tones. That's all about brainwave entertainment. I will touch those technologies in the next articles. I have a huge experience, experimenting with them. So I will give that information to you soon.

This time I want to tell you about classical music that can increase your brainpower. Classical music was the beginning of my journey with healing sounds. Some time ago, I fiound it hard to study, I found it boring to solve math exercises and memorize new information. Later I suddenly came across an article about music, that help dealing with different problems and diseases. And that article caught my attention.

In that article I found out about music that increase the ability to study, learn new information and solve math exercises. I give it a try and I can say - that music really help.

In that article there was said that Mozart piano sonata No. 11 in A major is very good for studying. So I started to listen to it often. I also listened to other Mozart music.

You can listen to it by playing the following video.

Later I bought the music album "Better Thinking through Mozart", which combines those songs by Mozart, which are related to increasing brainpower and develop abilities to think. Click on the image below to get to know more about the album or buy it. 

Actually any kind of instrumental music helps to focus. Listen to music with no lyrics (so you don't try to understande them) while you study or try to focus on your work. Choose the music that you feel will help you to focus.

My experience as I said is - music helped me a lot to increase my brainpower.

In the next article from the rubric "Music helps", I will tell you about brainwave entertainment music. That music is developed to stimulate certain parts of our brain. Sometimes brainwave entertainment music is more like sounds or noise, but often those sounds are combined with great compositions, so they become great music for meditation.

In the article "Meditate without leaving your computer" I posted meditation video "Bliss", which uses branwave entertainment music by J.S.Epperson. Watch that video again, it will enhance your creativity, motivation, productivity. And subscribe the blog, so you don't miss fresh content.

Till next time.

Have a great day!
