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.
Beta state
- 14 Hz - Awakeness and alert. Concentration on tasks. Focus
- 16 Hz - Hearing bottom range. Releases oxygen and calcium into cells
- 12 - 15 Hz - Relaxed focus
- 13 - 30 Hz - Problem solving, conscious thinking
Alpha state
- 8- 10 Hz - Super-learning state. Great memorizing ability
- 8.22 Hz - Brings creativity
- 10 Hz - Serotonin release. Mood elevation
- 10 Hz - Improves mood
- 10 Hz - Reduce headaches
- 11 Hz - Relaxed yet awake state
- 12 Hz - Mental stability
- 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.

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.
Subsribe this blog, so you are up to date about new articles and videos.
Have a great day!
