An Introduction To Brainwave Meditation
People have been practicing meditation for thousands of years. Over time, meditation was researched and proven to alter brainwaves. Brainwave meditation is a form of meditation that adds binaural beats into the meditative session. Meditating with a binaural beat meditation has been shown to enhance the benefits of traditional meditation.
Short, Do-able 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.
Binaural Beats Explained
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.
Brainwave Frequencies
The Delta frequency is between one and three Hertz. In this state, deep sleep occurs. In Theta, four to seven Hertz, deep relaxation, meditation, improved memory and focus all take place. Alpha frequency, 8-12 Hz, is light relaxation, improved learning and positive thinking. Beta, 13-25 Hz is the normal state of alertness. The specific brainwave meditation audio that you use depends on what state you want to reach. All of the benefits of meditation, including stress reduction, enhancing the immune system, reduction in anxiety attacks, decreasing breath and heart rate, among others, still occur during brainwave meditation. The binaural beats simply enhance was is already occurring during meditation.
