This is the second in the series on binaural beats - audio programs that change brain states. The first one was called Brain wave.
The outcome is a change in physical or emotional state combined with a change in consciousness. That's one of our major goals in Reverse Therapy.
Using them we can switch off worries, connect to Bodymind, create deep trance, or trigger endorphin release.
Binaural beat programs work by entraining the brain to slow down brain wave frequencies. The everyday state - the one in which Headmind is most active - is Beta. The next slowest wave is Alpha (the state that occurs when we are just nodding off to sleep, or are in trance). Beyond that we have the Theta state, which occurs in deep sleep or profound meditation.
Theta waves were first studied in the 1970s and it was noticed that using equipment to produce Theta wave states produced serenity, reduced the need for sleep, cut out anxiety, boosted the immune system, enhanced creativity, and helped integrate the emotions. In addition, it is impossible to worry or get anxious so long as the Theta state is in operation.
Interestingly, Japanese research, which studied brain scans of Zen monks - showed that experienced meditators can actually switch down to the Theta wave in minutes.
Now binaural programs are able to create the same benefits without the need to spend years practicing meditation.
I have been testing two of these programs and recommended them on Brain wave.

Hi John
Thanks for this info on Binaural Beats. I have been creating my own for a while, to grat effect, and have recently started giving them out to people on request.
The brain has so much more potential than we think and I think Binaural Beats are the way to go to, at least, take a peek at our potential.

Hi Steven
I truly believe that BBeats are going to be a new wave in the future and that there is a huge amount of experimentation for us to do.
So glad to hear that you are part of this.
Cheers JOHN
