Music is a vibrational state that has the capacity to elevate and modify our state of consciousness. Binaural music aims to raise this awareness to other stages by producing musical notes capable of altering the brain waves of our body.
When a person listens to this music they are able to increase their awareness and this translates into help at various levels of daily life: relaxation, concentration, vision and other qualities hidden from our mind.
Music therapy is a treatment that has been scientifically proven through various clinical studies for the treatment of:
- Insomnia
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Lack of concentration
- Other pathologies
The dominant wave frequency at which the brain works at any given time is called the current state.
Likewise, the human brain works at different types of frequencies that go from the state of alertness, normal, relaxation and meditation to the state of sleep itself.
When an external stimulus reaches the brain, it may be able to switch from one wave frequency to another. The person then changes stage or mood. For example, in people disturbed by nerves or who are in a total state of alert, they have beta waves as dominant waves.
Your brain is emitting in the frequency of beta waves, the most common among the population as it is synonymous with work and stress in some cases.
Changes in the human being through music
The aim of binaural music is to influence the person, and directly the brain, to change the state in which he or she finds himself or herself by means of the diffusion of a certain frequency of waves and to feel the effects of these waves on the organism.
Knowing ourselves is a basic and primary task, and brain wave patterns can help us reach a higher state of being, or get a clearer picture of the reality and problems of life.
Nowadays, binaural music is considered a beneficial system that is gaining more and more followers thanks to its proven results.
¿What are binaural sounds?
Binaural sounds are still brain wave frequencies that are combined with background music to bring the listener into a state of altered consciousness, a meditative state or even a state of deep relaxation.
In addition to the benefit of bringing the mind into a meditative state, of opening up consciousness and of chemical re-establishment of sodium and potassium levels in the brain, this type of therapy is considered a further step in personal experiences that are related to the psychic state and metaphysical phenomena.
They have been known since the 19th century and were put into practice in the 20th century by various scientific communities. Currently, there are indications that they are being tested at the military level or in related institutions such as DARPA.
¿How do you listen to this kind of binaural music?
Listening is simple but there are some basic requirements. In order to synchronize both hemispheres of the brain at the same frequency, the person must listen to the music through headphones. All instruments must be of high quality (headphones, playback system, etc....) although the most important thing is the audio output.
To date, CDs and mp3s have been used for this, but it should be noted that mp3s are files that compress sound, and as with old vinyl records, it is likely that certain frequencies needed for synchronization will be removed.
For this reason, it is best to use original CDs or, if there are no alternatives, mp3 will be used with a bitrate higher than 320 kbps for some specific cases.
If you decide to go into the field of binaural sounds, you will discover that by being constant in the listening, you will be able to sleep optimally over time, reject anxiety and fear properly, and obtain a general feeling of well-being.
