subject: Binaural Beats Meditation Improves Concentration [print this page] Meditation has been proven to stimulate brain functions. If you meditate on a regular basis, putting binaural beats to your meditation can greatly increase the benefit of the time spent during meditation. Binaural beats meditation will increase your ability to focus and complete tasks during a day. You also retain benefits that improve your memory and synchronize your overall brain activity.
Binaural beats use specific sounds placed in pre-designed patterns to help stimulate the brain while increasing overall brainwave activity. In various studies that have been done on binaural beats, people have had increased IQ's after using binaural beats during meditation.
If you meditate, and seriously want to improve your ability to focus and increase your retention rate of information during your day, then adding binaural beats to your meditation practice will greatly benefit your goals.
It has been proven in lab tests that people who have synchronized brain waves are able to perform functions much quicker and with greater ease than people who have brain waves that are not synchronized. When you have achieved a synchronized brainwave state, your brain is in a trained state. In this state, the brain is known to function at a higher level than brains that are not entrained.
Binaural beats are generally two different beats at rates that are very similar. The beats are generally on a frequency that is within 30 Hz of each other. This creates low frequency pulsation and sounds that are perceived in a special way when these two different frequencies are heard together.
Brainwave entrainment has proven to have interesting effects on the perception of sounds. When people hear stereo equipment or other electronic sources of sounds after listening to binaural beats they will hear things other people cannot. This hearing enhancement is different from person to person, so there's a chance that you won't experience it but, then again, there's a chance you will!
If you want to stimulate your senses and your overall brain activity, then you'll want to use gamma waves which range above 40 Hz. If you want to increase deeper meditative states, then you'll want to use either delta waves, or theta waves. Using the right frequency will help you achieve your goals with greater ease.
