Meditation

Meditation is a spiritual discipline of the mind in which the practitioner attempts to get into a deeper state of relaxed awareness beyond the regular conscious state. During Meditation the practitioner often focuses attention to a single point of orientation, either a word, thought or vision.

Meditation in one form or another is an important element of almost all religions, and has been practiced for over 5,000 years. Today it is also practiced outside religious ways of life. The different meditation types include various spiritual or psychophysical applications which may accentuate diverse goals -- from creativity or self-awareness to achievement of a higher state of consciousness, motivation, greater focus, relaxation and stress-reduction or simply a more peaceful frame of mind.

The word meditation is derived from the Latin word ‘meditatio’, which originally indicated every type of physical or intellectual exercise, and later developed into a more precise meaning ‘contemplation’.

Binaural Beats (Brainwave Entrainment)

The theory behind binaural beats is that if you apply slightly different frequency sine waves to each ear, a beating affect is created in the brain itself, due to the brain's internal wiring. If, in the presence of these tones, you relax and let your mind go, your mind will naturally synchronize with the beat frequency. In this way it is possible to tune the frequency of your brain waves to particular frequencies that you have selected, using of the four bands: Delta: deep sleep, Theta: dreaming and intuitive, Alpha: awake, focused inside, and Beta: awake, focused outside.

Electrical instruments (electroencephalographs) are commonly used to evaluate mental states. These instruments measure the neuron firing rates of groups of brain cells. These firing rates are commonly thought to control mental states. Beta, alpha, theta and delta are terms that medicine uses to indicate the rates of brain cell firing and the corresponding mental states associated with them.

The Beta State

The beta state is that state of mind that you experience when awake and active during the day. It includes any brain wave with a frequency greater than or equal to 13 Hz (faster repetition than 13 times per second). Beta states above 20 Hz are generally classed as higher beta or gamma. The higher beta state, often referred to as the gamma state, is experienced while wide-awake and highly aroused. The higher beta state is very stimulating and can be associated with anxiety. This anxiety could be related to subconscious resistance to these states. The brain wave amplitudes tend to be very small.

The lower beta state is that state of mind commonly experienced while awake and busy during the day. This is the state of mind in which you commonly deal with your daily routines. You can experience anxiety with some of the lower beta frequencies. The low beta state involves frequencies from 13Hz to 20Hz. The amplitudes are generally quite small. This type of frequency has been used successfully as a harmonic of lower frequencies to create unusual effects.

The Alpha State

The alpha mind state is that state commonly experienced while the body is resting and the mind is calm. The alpha state is the one you experience whilst doing a mundane repetitive task with nothing particular on your mind. A typical example would be driving a car (how many times have you driven from work and barely remembered the journey?). The alpha state of mind involves frequencies from 8.0 to 12.9Hz. The natural amplitudes tend to be larger than beta. Note: You can quickly induce alpha state by closing your eyes and generally looking upwards, allowing your eyes to roll backwards.

The Theta State

The theta state is commonly experienced in deepened states of meditation, at the onset and in lighter parts of sleep. It seems to be present in hypnogogic and hypnopompic hallucination. It is characterised by frequencies from 4.0Hz to 7.9Hz. It is believed by some scientists that high amplitude Theta frequencies accompany most (if not all) psychic activity.

The Delta & Epsilon State

The Delta and epsilon mind state is commonly experienced at night during deep sleep or possibly during the day by people experiencing depression or mental fatigue. The Delta state of mind involves frequencies from approximately 0.1Hz to 4Hz. The epsilon state involves frequencies lower than 0.1Hz . The natural amplitudes are large in size. These frequencies are the least researched and are common in very deep trance states.

What are binaural harmonics?

The sensation of auditory binaural beats occurs when two coherent sounds of nearly similar frequencies are presented to each ear with stereo headphones or speakers. If the left ear is presented with a steady tone of 200Hz and the right ear a steady tone of 210Hz, these two tones combine in the brain. The brain integrates the two signals, producing a sensation of a third sound called the binaural beat. This 10Hz beat signal is formed entirely by the brain.

In binaural harmonic technology the 200Hz and 210Hz frequencies are known as carried frequencies. The frequencies used are pure sine wave generated frequencies.

Binaural beats originate in the brainstem's superior olivary nucleus, the site of contra lateral integration of auditory input. The binaural beat is neurologically conveyed to the reticular formation which uses neurotransmitters to initiate changes in brain-wave activity. Binaural beats can be perceived only when the right-ear and left-ear tones used to produce them are of low pitch, usually less than 1500Hz.

Brainwave harmonics use carrier frequencies of less than 150Hz. These lower frequencies are thought to be more soothing. Monaural beats produced with two tones of equal intensity sound clean and pure. Binaural beats initially have a slight warbling sound as your brain adjusts this will disappear. To produce perfect monaural beats the amplitudes of the two tones have to be identical.

Binaural beats maintain their intensity regardless of the relative amplitudes of the right-ear and left-ear tones even if one ear is below threshold (a hearing loss in one ear may not reduce the effectiveness of binaural beats). Masking monaural beats with noise eliminates the perception of beating and the measurable EEG frequency-following response. Masking binaural beats with white or pink noise does not decrease their effectiveness.
