The use of Binaural Beats during meditation could help you to get into a deeper meditative state faster. Binaural Beats occur when one hears two different frequencies in each ear. For example, if you were to hear 300 Hz in your right ear and 320 Hz in your left ear, your brain "hears" 20 Hz (320 Hz - 300 Hz = 20 Hz). This only happens if the difference is 100 Hz or less. By using Binaural Beats you can increase your brain wave activity at a specific range. This is called entrainment.
There are four different waves that the brain operates on. Beta waves are present when you are actively thinking and doing things. Alpha waves are present when you are relaxing, or are "zoned out". Theta waves are present when you are sleeping and dreaming, and are the most common waves present when you are in light meditation. Finally, delta waves are present during the deepest sleep states, and in very deep meditation including out of body experiences.
The best way to use Binaural Beats in your meditation process is to use a few frequencies from each of the 4 stages. Starting at beta and work through to delta. This will help the brain progress deeper and deeper, in stages, and is usually the most successful method.
The internet is a great resource for finding and downloading free binaural Beats. Alternately, you can purchase some great meditation CD's that incorporate the use of Binaural Beats.
In order for your brain to "hear" Binaural Beats, you will need to use headphones. Simply listening to them via speakers is not effective, since each tone needs to be delivered to the ear individually. Studies have also shown that some people should not use Binaural Beats at all. People with a history of seizures and small children should avoid the use of Binaural Beats.
For me, the use of Binaural Beats has greatly helped to get into deeper meditative states much faster. I have also experimented with using Binaural Beats for other purposes as well. For instance, I have found that if I listen to theta waves, followed by delta waves at bedtime, I sleep deeper and more soundly. I also seem to dream more vividly when I do this. Since the uses of Binaural Beats are so diverse, and it is deemed safe for the majority of individuals, I highly recommend giving it a try. You may be on your way to your first out of body experience. - 31856
