Brainwave Meditation: What It Can Do For You
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.
Powerful Meditative Sessions
Brainwave meditation CDs are available for purchase. Typical sessions are 30-60 minutes. During the session, the meditator is often guided by a narrator to visualize specific scenes in the mind. Binaural beats are in the background and the meditator hears them while he or she does the visualizations.
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 meditation can assist people with chronic insomnia, release headaches, and help people draw on their own natural creativity, focus and energy. In addition, this brain entrainment technology has been used to assist people with anxiety-related mental illnesses, children with autism and other developmental disabilities, attention deficit disorder, addictions and depression. People who have a seizure disorder should not do this type of meditation.
Entering The Mainstream
Binaural beats have been a matter of some controversy since they were discovered. Many skeptics dismiss the idea as mystical new age mumbo-jumbo. But, research is proving that the skeptics are wrong. Brainwave meditation is not new age mysticism or hocus-pocus. It is an authentic approach to helping people live more creative, centered lives. As research continues to validate brainwave meditation, it will continue to move more and more into the mainstream awareness.
