What Are Binaural Beats?
A Binaural Beat is an illusion created by the brain when you listen to two tones with slightly different frequencies at the same time. Your brain interprets the two tones as a beat of its own. The two tones align with your brain waves to produce a beat with a different new frequency.
To give an example, you must be listening to Binaural Beats with headphones on or good surround sound to produce the effect. i.e. One ear is listening to 432 Hz while the other ear is listening to 444 Hz, your brain interprets the difference by cancelling out, listening to now a 12 Hz wave frequency. (444-432) This is called the Frequency-Following Effect, meaning you can use Binaural Beats to train your mind to reach certain states of consciousness.
When you listen to certain binaural beats, they can increase the strength of certain brain waves. This can increase or hold back different brain functions that control thinking and feeling, allowing you to feel your most authentic true self.
