Energy Therapy or Binaural Meditation
Over the years, scientists have begun to explore how meditation affects the brain. Many fascinating studies have sought to understand how the various brain waves (e.g. beta, alpha, theta and delta – and even gamma) are activated during meditation practice. Essentially, Western scientists with access to EEG machines and/or other brain monitoring devices, invited long-term meditators (i.e. Tibetan Buddhists who have meditated for 30+ years) to sit down and have their brains monitored. Many interesting results have come forth from this research.
Several decades ago, some scientists got curious to see if they could re-create any of those meditation effect through the use of sound or light. Binaural beat technology was born. Essentially, these early pioneers discovered that by introducing sounds that were sending different amplitudes or waves to each ear, a reverberation would happen within the skull creating or mimicking meditation effects and it was found that the brain would compensate and create a new, balanced frequency between 2 slightly off kilter sounds. So, for example, they started playing with the carrier frequencies which could be modified depending on the number of Hertz being introduced to each ear. A well researched and highly interesting approach to all of this has been developed by iAwake Technologies.
