Summarize it Simply: What is a Binaural Beat?
by Karen Newell
Binaural beats are a sensational form of sound therapy that can enhance your meditation practice to help you relax more deeply. They work by playing two slightly different frequencies in each ear while your brain processes these sounds, creating the perception of a third tone. This 'third tone" is what is known as the binaural beat. This process can encourage your brain to enter different states of consciousness.
A binaural beat could sound like a gentle wave, or a soft hum. To use them effectively during meditation, you need a quiet space and a pair of headphones to ensure each ear hears each of the different frequencies. As you listen, focus on your breath and let the sounds guide you. Over time, you'll likely find it easier to reach even deeper levels of relaxation, allowing stress and anxiety to drift away.
It doesn't matter if you're unwinding after a long day or just need a moment of peace, binaural beats are a powerful tool in your meditation journey.
We hope you enjoy exploring this fascinating aspect of sound!
