And there are a few things you should know about <strong>how to use binaural beats<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-binaural-beats\">What are binaural beats?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The word binaural means &#8220;having or relating to two ears.&#8221; When you hear two tones\u2014one in each ear\u2014of slightly different frequencies at the same time, your brain registers the difference as an auditory illusion of a third sound.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if you hear a sound in your right ear that\u2019s at a frequency of 210 Hz and your left ear hears one at a frequency of 200 Hz, your brain processes the tone at the difference between the two\u2014or 10 Hz.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those are <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/what-are-binaural-beats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">binaural beats<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-binaural-beats-frequencies\">Binaural beats frequencies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are <a href=\"https:\/\/associationofanaesthetists-publications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full\/10.1111\/j.1365-2044.2005.04287.x#:~:text=Binaural%20beats%20are,and%2030%E2%80%83Hz.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">two factors<\/a> that need to be in play for the binaural beats to work properly: 1) The frequencies of the two tones have to be less than 1000 Hz, and 2) the difference between them shouldn&#8217;t be more than 30 Hz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This brain wave entrainment (also referred to as brain wave synchronization) is designed to put your <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/brain-waves\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">brain waves<\/a> into the same activity state as when you are meditating using traditional methods. These states are made up of four:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Frequency band<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Frequency range<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Brain states<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Gamma<\/td><td>Above 35 Hz<\/td><td>Insight<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Beta<\/td><td>12-35 Hz<\/td><td>Consciousness and reasoning<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Alpha<\/td><td>8-12 Hz<\/td><td>Deep relaxation<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Theta<\/td><td>4-8 Hz<\/td><td>Light meditation and sleeping<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Delta<\/td><td>0.5-4 Hz<\/td><td>Deep sleep<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why do you need it? Well, simply, because traditional meditation practices can be very difficult for the untrained mind. As a newbie, when your mind\u2019s unable to hold its focus, chances are, you\u2019ll miss out on the benefits for your brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Binaural beats help ease you into a meditative state quickly, so meditation can be an engaging tool for <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/personal-growth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">personal growth<\/a>, relaxation, or spiritual practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-benefits-of-binaural-beats\">What are the benefits of binaural beats?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do binaural beats actually work? Yes, they do. And here&#8217;s a list of some of its reported benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Decrease anxiety levels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increase focus and attention<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Elevates positive mood<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Helps enter a deep meditative state<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improves sleep quality<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, everyone is unique, and it may take some trial and error to find which frequency of binaural beats works for you. But nevertheless, if you&#8217;re down to using it, it&#8217;s freely available and relatively safe to try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-do-binaural-beats-work\">Do binaural beats work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The great thing about binaural beats is that they&#8217;re beneficial for your brain. There are a number of studies, albeit small, to support the health claims, especially those related to anxiety, mood, and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A 2011 study used binaural beats on emergency department patients. This randomized controlled trial showed <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/22171868\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">significant decreases in anxiety levels<\/a> in patients listening to audio with binaural beats than those without.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Another study conducted in 2019 looked into the effects of using autonomous sensory meridian response to induce sleep. Their results suggest that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fnhum.2019.00425\/full\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201c<em>auditory stimulus could induce the brain signals required for sleep, while simultaneously keeping the user in a psychologically comfortable state.<\/em>\u201d<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A 2020 pilot study explored the use of three binaural entrainment frequencies: 40 Hz, 25 Hz, and 100 Hz. The participants were assessed based on their cognitive abilities, mood, and memory. All three aspects were found to have <a href=\"https:\/\/braininformatics.springeropen.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s40708-020-00119-9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">improved with the use of a Gamma 40 Hz frequency<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While using binaural beats has its upsides, more research is needed to comprehend the full scope of benefits that they have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-using-binaural-beats-is-it-safe\">Using binaural beats\u2026 is it safe?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>There are no known dangers to using binaural.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, it&#8217;s highly advised to limit the time you use it\u201430 minutes is typically the recommended time length. Why? Continued exposure to sound can put some people at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK594247\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">higher risk for hearing loss<\/a>, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One question regarding safety that often arises is: <strong>Can binaural beats damage your brain?<\/strong> The answer is <strong>no<\/strong>. While they can affect your brain waves and have the ability to alter the physiological state of your brain, they can\u2019t damage your brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-binaural-beats-side-effects\">Binaural beats side effects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While listening to binaural beats is generally safe and there are no known side effects, it&#8217;s always good to be on the safe side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And with that, certain groups of people should avoid using them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>People who suffer from seizure disorders. <\/strong>The increasing or decreasing brainwave stimulation may trigger abnormal neurological impulses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Those with pacemakers or with other heart problems.<\/strong> Binaural beats may be known to affect brainwaves, but they may also affect heart rhythm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Those operating heavy machinery.<\/strong> Induced relaxation isn\u2019t compatible with driving or using machines that require your full attention.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Children. <\/strong>Their brains are still developing and, therefore, aren\u2019t encouraged to use binaural beats.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pregnant women.<\/strong> For the reason above, those who are pregnant might want to steer clear because their fetus is still in the development stage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re in need of further reassurance, talk to your doctor before using binaural beats for any health reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-listen-to-binaural-beats-correctly\">How to listen to binaural beats correctly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using binaural beats correctly is as simple as eating pie. All you need is a pair of stereo headphones and binaural beat audio, like in the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/6-phase-meditation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">6 Phase Meditation<\/a> guided by Vishen, founder of Mindvalley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"6 Phase Guided Binaural Beats Meditation | Vishen Lakhiani\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gRhrdm_1afQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">6 Phase Guided Binaural Beats Meditation | Vishen Lakhiani<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are a few more tips to get you started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Find a comfortable place free of distractions.<\/strong> It\u2019s important not to listen to binaural beats when you need to do something that requires your full attention, like driving. Avoid any tasks that are mentally demanding because the meditative state is not conducive to quick, action-oriented critical thinking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Listen to binaural beats when you want to relax<\/strong>, quiet your mind, get your creative juices flowing, and engage your intuition. They can even help increase the potency of personal development work, such as affirmations and visualization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Be sure to give yourself enough listening time.<\/strong> The brain requires about seven minutes to entrain or fall in sync with the audio stimulus. Give yourself at least 15\u201330 minutes of listening time to experience the benefits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>You can meditate with your eyes open or closed. <\/strong>Focus on a candle or an object to help focus your mind, or you can meditate with your eyes closed and focus solely on the music\u2014experiment with both to see what works best. Beginners usually find eyes-closed <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/meditation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">meditation<\/a> to be easier because there are fewer distractions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It\u2019s best to use headphones for maximum effect.<\/strong> Why? For the binaural beats to work effectively, there need to be two tones\u2014one for each ear\u2014of different frequencies. Without headphones, there\u2019s a high chance your ears will pick up both frequencies, and the auditory illusion will be gone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Above all, be patient. Training and developing your brain take time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine you were an athlete and you wanted to run a marathon but wanted to skip the training. Good luck, right? So, if you\u2019re looking for a transformational growth quick fix, you most likely won\u2019t get it with binaural beats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ways-to-use-binaural-beats\">Ways to use binaural beats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other than putting on your headphones and pressing play, there are several other ways binaural beats can be implemented:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-in-your-meditation-practice\">1. In your meditation practice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>[Meditation] has a very high objective\u2013to take us away from this world of suffering into the world of happiness, joy, and bliss,<\/em>\u201d says Swami Nirliptananda, the former spiritual head of the London Sevashram Sangha. And binaural beats can help you get your brainwaves into the state of meditation easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From there, you can work on honing in on your intuition, self-discovery, or simply \u2018be\u2019 and enjoy the meditative experience with no agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-to-help-you-sleep-better\">2. To help you sleep better<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are studies that show <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepfoundation.org\/noise-and-sleep\/binaural-beats#:~:text=help%20you%20sleep.-,Can%20Binaural%20Beats%20Help%20You%20Sleep%20Better%3F,-Preliminary%20research%20suggests\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">binaural beats induce delta activity in the brain<\/a> and, therefore, lengthen deep sleep. This leads to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Improved quality of sleep<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Less sleepiness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced stress and anxiety<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increased ease of waking up<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feeling refreshed in the morning<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re looking for an alternative to guided meditation or whale noises as you drift off to sleep, try listening to binaural beats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-as-you-study\">3. As you study<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ve heard of the Mozart effect, right? People who listen to Mozart\u2019s work tend to score higher on various cognitive tests and demonstrate higher mental performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Binaural beats do the same thing\u2014they help create synchronicity between the brain\u2019s hemispheres and <a href=\"https:\/\/csuglobal.edu\/blog\/increasing-cognitive-function-with-binaural-beats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">increase cognitive function<\/a>. This helps you think more holistically. Instead of being predominantly a left-brain analyst or a right-brain creative, you become a whole-brain thinker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And so, next time you need a little help studying more effectively, headphone up and press play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Learn more: <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/binaural-beats-for-study\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Binaural beats for studying: Rev up your brain power<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-epic-things-start-with-you\">Epic things start with you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Binaural beats are a great auditory tool to help with anxiety, mood, and cognitive performance.
