Brainwave entrainment is a method to stimulate the brain into entering a specific state by using a pulsing sound, light, or electromagnetic field. The pulses elicit the brain’s ‘frequency following’ response, encouraging the brainwaves to align to the frequency of a given beat.

Meditation is growing increasingly in popularity for reason raging from stress relief to the pursuit of enlightenment. None the less there are still many misunderstandings about what meditation is and how it is done. Here the eight most common misunderstandings are clarified.

Misunderstanding #1 Meditation is stopping thinking and having a blank mind.

This is probably the number one misunderstanding about meditation – that meditation is to “stop thinking.” Certainly, a benefit of long term meditation is a reduction in the the amount of thinking that goes on, and that is great. The inane, repetitive and usually negative chatter of thoughts that jump one to another in their minds is one of the first things people new to meditation are confronted by.

But what would a blank mind mean? The confusion arises because we are most of the time identify with our mental thoughts (our inner monologue) and we believe it is reporting the truth of our experience. So a blank mind is assumed to be the absence of thought. But the vastness of mind encompasses so much more that thought.

In meditation we aim to develop mindfulness, that’s the experience of the full-ness of mind. When we’re mindful the mind is very much active and aware, just not consumed in thought. Rather, we are conscious of the physical sensations, movement of emotions and thoughts, and of how each of these things arises as part of our moment to moment experience. The mind becomes absorbed in the diverse richness of our experience, a richness that we are oblivious of when we spend our whole lives lost in identification with thinking.

Misunderstanding #2. Meditation is self indulgent escapism.

To some people who have no actual experience of practicing it, meditation looks like “escaping from reality”. We often hear the derogatory term “navel gazing,” suggesting meditation is pure self indulgence.

From a more conscious vantage, running around keeping busy and distracted so you never having time to be with yourself deeply is escapism. In meditation, we’re brought into direct contact with our own fears, delusions, pain, and selfishness. This is a big part of meditations purpose. When we can sit with and accept these unwelcome parts of ourselves we begin to disempower them. This simple act of allowing and accepting has deep significance in the process of healing and liberation.

Misunderstanding #3. You have to be super flexible & sit in full lotus.

Most of the meditation postures traditionally associated with meditation like full lotus, come from times and cultures that did not commonly use chairs. As a consequence, as it still is in many developing countries, people sat on the floor. As a result their pelvis was naturally conditioned to sitting in this way without discomfort.

For those of us then who have grown up sitting in chairs, as chair might be the more appropriate place to sit to meditate. There really is no required or necessary position to meditate in. The two primary things to consider the ability to relax deeply, stay alert, and keeping the spine straight. The mind already has plenty to obsess about without how you sit to meditate being one of them.

Misunderstanding #4. Meditation is just deep relaxation.

This misunderstanding about meditation is largely from it’s increasing common prescription for stress management. While meditation is certainly greatly beneficial in managing stress and increasing health, to reduce it’s function and purpose to this is way off the mark.

Deep relaxation is definitely an aspect of how to meditate, it is however one half of a fluid dance. The other half is alert attention. If that sounds less than simple to do, you are getting some idea of why meditation is a practice and isn’t as simple as just sitting with your eyes closed.

Misunderstanding #5. The CD will do it all for you.

We have all sen the adverts for products that promise meditation as deep as a zen monk in a matter of minutes. Using the technologies of binaural beats for and other technologies to attune to slower brainwaves, is fine. It can and does have a beneficial effect, and it is not meditation and when using them you are not meditating.

To understand this lets look at the zen monk claim. Through many years of disciplined practice some meditators can attain a state of natural brain hemisphere synchronization, meaning neither left or right brain is dominant but they are working together. The issue is, that is not the purpose of meditation and it disregards all else that meditation is and requires of the meditator.

Misunderstanding #6. Meditation is ‘Eastern’.

It is easy to understand where this misunderstanding comes from. Meditation is though a universal spiritual practice in pretty much all human cultures and traditions. It may not be termed meditation in all cultures and traditions, but looking at the principles and intentions the names are not important. And let’s face it the source of all three major world religions is ‘Eastern’.

Misunderstanding #7. Meditation is Religious.

The great thing about meditation is that our philosophical or religious belief are not important. Meditation is process of immersion in consciousness itself, beyond the structures of mind. The beliefs of the mind become increasingly transparent and their power over us diminishes. We dive deep into the heart of ourselves to gain access to our spirit – our true nature. Therefore, mediation can (and is ) practiced by people of different religions or no religion.

Misunderstanding #8. In meditation you say “OM” a lot.

A silly and persistent stereotype.
Brainwave entrainment is a method to stimulate the brain into entering a specific state by using a pulsing sound, light, or electromagnetic field. The pulses elicit the brain’s ‘frequency following’ response, encouraging the brainwaves to align to the frequency of a given beat.

This ‘frequency following’ response of brainwave entrainment can be seen in action with those prone to epilepsy. If a strobe flashes at their seizure frequency, the brain will ‘entrain’ to the flashing light, resulting in a seizure.

On the positive side, this same mechanism is commonly used to induce many brainwave states; such as a trance, enhanced focus, relaxation, meditation or sleep induction. The brainwave entrainment effectively pushes the entire brain into a certain state.

Brainwave entrainment works for almost everyone. It is a great way to lead your mind into states that you might usually have difficulty reaching, allowing you to experience what those states feel like.

THE HYPE
There is a lot of marketing hype around brainwave entrainment. It is sold with promises of increasing IQ, promoting weight loss, ‘mind-tripping’, enhancing creativity, concentration, inducing spiritual states and more.

While these claims are not entirely true, they are not altogether false either. In practice, the claims are based on an overly-simplistic view of how the brain and the brainwaves function.
THE RUB
People are very seldom deficient in a certain brainwave type in all areas of their brain. Usually the distribution is much spottier, with an excess in one area and a deficiency in another.

We are all different, especially when it comes to the distribution of our brainwaves. Boosting a certain brainwave state may be beneficial for one person, and emotionally uncomfortable for another. Without knowing each person’s starting position, entrainment can be rather ‘hit and miss’.

If brainwave entrainment leaves you with unwanted side-effects (see below) or discomfort, you’re probably encouraging a range of brainwaves that are already excessive in some area of your brain. The way around this is to get a brain map to see what your brain’s strengths and weaknesses are, and see what (if any) brainwaves could use some encouragement.

alpha mode | theta brain waves
Meditation is easy to achieve if you only use one method at a time and not be overwhelmed with different ways of meditating. I’m going to show you a simple meditation for beginners and later on suggest isochronic tones and binaural beats as a more effective way of achieving a meditative state.

The idea of meditation is to lower your brainwave frequency to a lower level than the beta state which is our normal waking state. Alpha, theta and delta states fall below the beta state.

When we fall asleep, our brainwave’s frequency goes slower as it falls to alpha then goes much slower as it goes to theta and delta. As our brain’s frequency goes slower, our conscious mind loses its strength and focus and thereby loses much influence on the contents of our thoughts.

For simplicity, let’s say that our minds are exposed more to our deeper or superconscious selves when our brainwaves goes lower and at the same time loses influence of the chatter from our conscious mind. When it goes higher, the conscious mind now dominates and the whispers from our superconscious mind nears silence cloaked by the memories stored in our subconscious.

Our aim at meditation is to stay at a lower brainwave frequency, alpha or theta, and linger there for a period of time. That way, the messages from our deeper selves can be captured by our conscious minds and stored in our subconscious which can later be retrieved to support our conscious undertakings.

For beginners, the best thing to do is to silence your mind by focusing on your breath. Sit in a comfortable position and close your eyes. Take slow deep breathes and feel every part of your body relax.

At this time, a multitude of conscious chatter will try to grab your attention, which it normally does when we are not involved in doing something. This conscious chatter consumes a lot of mental energy. Focus therefore on your breath so that it will be the only thing that you will be thinking which requires a lot less energy than attending to the conscious chatter.

Think only of your breath and in due time, you will reach a lower brainwave level. When you have done that, stay focused on you breath and don’t allow yourself to fall asleep.

Meditation gives you many benefits but may not be outright evident. Remembering things easily, having intuitions, finding creative solutions and manifesting your desires are signs of the effect meditation can give you.

Do this daily and you will reap the benefits and enjoy a happier and prosperous life.

To get to the meditative state faster, isochronic tones and binaural beats which are audio tones for brainwave entrainment, can bring you to a meditative state in just minutes. These audio technology can indeed eliminate the months or years in which conventional meditation requires.

alpha state of mind | stress relief music
Meditation is becoming very popular, as more people become aware of its many benefits. These include stress relief, better physical and mental health, and the ability to explore your mind’s full potential. Meditation can be a truly life changing practice, so why is it that many new meditators feel discouraged after trying it?

If you’ve been meditating for a while, and finding that meditation isn’t living up to the claims made for it, you might be thinking about giving up. You’re not alone: while people decide to stop meditating for different reasons, in many cases it’s because they’re frustrated with their inability to focus their minds.

Maybe you know what it’s like – you sit down to meditate, and all that happens is that your thoughts swell around your head in an uncontrollable cacophony. This is the famous ‘monkey mind’ in action, and it’s extremely common. It is the nature of the mind to think, and most of us have not learned any mind control techniques, so the focus and mental relaxation that meditation requires is a whole new skill to be learned.

It’s not an easy skill to learn either for most, yet the reaping the benefits of meditation requires learning to get your thoughts under control. While there are many different ways to meditate, most involve fixing your thoughts on something (such as your breath or a mantra), or trying to quieten down the mind altogether. It is when you achieve this mentally calm, quiet and relaxed state that meditation’s benefits begin to show themselves.

However, with traditional meditation techniques, it can take considerable time before the beginning meditator learns to establish any degree of mental control at all. And most people don’t have the time or the inclination to keep meditating every day in the face of this often formidable learning curve. And so, they give up, and forever close themselves off from experiencing meditation’s many rewards.

This is a huge shame, especially as there are some meditation methods which are easier for most people. These include brainwave entrainment meditation, which involves listening to a special recording which incorporates repetitive sounds of specific frequencies. Brainwave entrainment technologies such as binaural beats and isochronic tones have been shown to have a powerful effect on the brain.

Thanks to a natural phenomenon called the ‘frequency following response’, the brain has a tendency to match its own brain wave output to the frequencies of the sounds that its hearing. Since successful meditation involves the production of lower frequency brain waves than in normal waking consciousness, listening to such a recording can make it easier to achieve and maintain a deep meditative state.

So if you’re thinking of giving up meditation, it is really worth trying out a brainwave entrainment meditation recording first. While using such a recording still requires focus and some mental effort on your part (i.e., it’s not a magical quick fix that will instantly transport you into a deep trance state with zero effort whatsoever!), you don’t have to do all the work yourself, because the recording helps your brain to relax more naturally and easily.

Meditation is a well-researched topic. Science has shown repeatedly that it does, indeed, have an affect on the mind and its frequencies. Only a few minutes of meditation can alter the way you feel on a sluggish afternoon. Over the years, brainwave meditation, also known as brainwave entrainment, has been getting the attention of researchers who have conducted studies into the efficacy of this technology.

Short, Powerful Sessions

Most people do brainwave entrainment with a CD or some other form of audio. During the 30-60 minute sessions, the participant actively uses his or her mind to visualize various scenarios, as guided by the narrator. Not all CDs have a vocal component.

Binaural Beats

To create the binaural beat, one frequency is heard in one ear and another frequency is heard in the other ear. The brain takes those two frequencies and figures the difference between them, creating an additional beat, known as the binaural beat, which is inside of the mind. These beats are capable of altering your brain patterns, leaving you feeling energized, relaxed and ready for the remainder of your day.

Brainwave Frequencies

The Delta frequency is between one and three Hertz. In this state, deep sleep occurs. In Theta, four to seven Hertz, deep relaxation, meditation, improved memory and focus all take place. Alpha frequency, 8-12 Hz, is light relaxation, improved learning and positive thinking. Beta, 13-25 Hz is the normal state of alertness. The specific brainwave meditation audio that you use depends on what state you want to reach. All of the benefits of meditation, including stress reduction, enhancing the immune system, reduction in anxiety attacks, decreasing breath and heart rate, among others, still occur during brainwave meditation. The binaural beats simply enhance was is already occurring during meditation.

Solutions To Common Problems

Brainwave meditation can assist people with chronic insomnia, release headaches, and help people draw on their own natural creativity, focus and energy. In addition, this brain entrainment technology has been used to assist people with anxiety-related mental illnesses, children with autism and other developmental disabilities, attention deficit disorder, addictions and depression. People who have a seizure disorder should not do this type of meditation.

Backed By Scientific Research

When this type of meditation was initially discovered, many people were skeptical of its validity and thought that it was just some new age mysticism that they could easily dismiss. Over the years, with more and more research proving its use, brainwave meditation has come into the mainstream. Researchers continue to explore the many uses of this technology.

Meditation is a well-known stress-relief technique. Stress is among the biggest killers in the world today. In fact, most health disorders begin as stress, and then develop into whatever symptoms they show.

Endless methods are used by people to relieve stress: Meditation, exercise, deep breathing, listening to soft music, taking a few quiet moments to sit and reflect. Some let off steam by having a couple of drinks, or taking in a relaxing movie. The numbers of ways are innumerable, and you just need to find what works for you. In most cases, what works for you isn’t guaranteed to work for someone else, whereas in brainwave entrainment, what works for you should work for others as well.

Then there’s brainwave entrainment. Insomnia cures are among its repertoire. The studies in this area are returning some fascinating results, and not just in the area of insomnia, but in many other disorders resulting from stress.

Our bodies and minds were not made to cope with the stressful schedules of today. Insomnia is our inability to unwind, to let go of the problems of the day. It ranges from not being able to fall asleep, to falling asleep only to pop up many times throughout the night. The true definition is not getting a good night’s sleep.

Brainwave entrainment uses our brainwaves-alpha, beta, theta, and delta-along with tones, to help us to relax and sleep. Like two tuning forks-strike one, the other will ring along. This method will change your mind and will help you more easily overcome your obstacles.

Meditation is a voyage of the mind. It takes you from sound to silence, from movement to stillness, from identification with form to unlimited form, and most importantly, from feeling separate, to feeling connected to a collective consciousness, where you’ll never be alone-and never were.

Brainwave entrainment is a self-help tool that alters your brainwaves using a physics principle called frequency following response. The brain, when inundated with repetition and rhythm, will alter its predominant brainwave frequency to match and copy that of the stimulus. When you stimulate the brain’s frequencies to a particular wave for a specific effect, it is called brainwave entrainment.

Meditating, using brainwave entrainment, lets you target and trigger areas of your brain, that you wish to work on. In this case, activating the area of the brain that evokes spiritual realization, with meditation and entrainment, is more precise and is achieved much quicker.

When your mind becomes quiet and still, you are in a state of no-mindedness or mindfulness. This state clears and calms your conscious mind and is a very different state from the one you use in your everyday life-one of lack of mindfulness.

Meditation increases your awareness during your everyday life, making you mindful of the present moment, so that you are aware of how you are feeling, what you are doing, and what you are saying and thinking.

Being able to put yourself in this brainwave state, and staying there for a period of time, allows you to glimpse the universal consciousness, to feel its subtle energy and have it change your life, in a very positive way.

Reaching a meditative state allows you to hear God, your source, or the collective unconscious. It can help you receive spiritual information that can impact your life.

The More You Meditate, The Deeper Your Spiritual Realization

· As you spend more and more time meditating, your awareness will deepen, and it will happen at a faster rate.

· Perceptions of your physical body will diminish as you become aware of your subtle body (the second of four bodies within your human body: the physical, subtle, causal, and supra-causal bodies.) The subtle body is experienced in the dream or meditative state.

· You may become aware of both your physical and subtle bodies, both at the same time.

· You may feel like you are levitating or that your head or other body part is distorted, possibly expanding.

· The feeling of space and distance between yourself and your subtle body may feel unnatural.

· You may feel weightless.

· When you start perceiving the energy that is coursing through you, you may experience some pressure on the top of your head. You are in communication now, with spirit and are, essentially, receiving a download of spiritual light.

· As the energy enters through your crown chakra and disperses itself through the rest of your body, you may see different colored lights (in your mind’s eye). These lights are your chakras (energy centers) associated with different areas of your body.

· Because of the intense energy that you are receiving, you may lose consciousness and “jerk” back into your body, unsettling you-but bringing you back to the present moment.

· After your meditation, you will feel different-more at peace-with a realization that you are connected to everyone and everything, probably changing how you view the world.

Once you open the door to a spiritual journey, through meditation, you can’t really go back to the way you were before. If you try, it will feel very foreign and false.

Opening the door to your spiritual realization, will change how you perceive the yourself and the rest of the world.

Spiritual realization does not always happen in a gentle, metered way, but if you meditate using brainwave entrainment, you have more control of how quickly or intensely you wish to experience this amazing phenomenon.

Realizing that you are part of spirit, is an amazing realization in its own.

Meditation is a vital component of the practice of Zen Buddhism, including many different exercises and techniques to promote the ongoing development of the awareness of our essential nature.

Two aspects of Zen Buddhist practice, each with it’s own techniques, are observation and cessation. Between each of these extremes there is a balance that needs to found. Attachment to either one can lead to it’s own problems.

Cessation is the withdrawal of the mind from external inputs. Turning the awareness inwards and observing the self. Becoming present to the moment that is the only real thing that we can experience. Neither memory nor anticipation, resting in this space gives a clarity that is not attached or related in any way to the intellect

Attachment to this aspect of the practice can lead to a withdrawal from life. Complete detachment and indifference to life and the physical nature that is an integral part of our experience.

By observing we are saying this is different and separate from that. This provides a balance to cessation, while still keeping foremost the fact that it is all the divine and an expression of the divine within ourselves.

An attachment to this can lead us into confusion and turmoil, thus obscuring a view of the world that is truly reflective of what really is.

Balancing out these two opposing but complementary perspectives prevents a slide into either extreme and the combination works to lift our consciousness to higher and higher levels of awareness while still experiencing the earthly life that we are living.

Zen meditation is a dynamic process with no fixed end point or goal to reach. It is an ever-moving river that has no end, so the focus needs to be on the journey as the end point is something that recedes as we get closer. A very easy trap to fall into is that of becoming attached to the end goal of reaching enlightenment, but if we reach that point…what then?

Does reaching enlightenment mean that we stop there? Or is it a turning point in the road that enables us to see a vast vista laid out before us that was previously hidden from view?

The road has no end to speak of so wherever we are on that road is where we are, wishing ourselves further along serves no purpose. Truly reaching a point of accepting and embracing the journey will serve to move us that much further along where a rigid goal of attaining enlightenment will do little except to form a stronger attachment to the current situation. Therein lies the paradox that can only be solved through experience, not words.

Using our knowledge of brain wave technology, we can get more out of Zen meditation, more easily than ever before. Not only can we achieve deeper levels of awareness, it is easier to reach that level next time. Truly a win-win.

These techniques are called binaural audio tracks and are specific tones that are sounded in each ear at different rates and modify the brainwaves, inducing a slowing and synchronizing of the whole brain. This is the identical process to what goes on inside the brains of Zen monks. So, essentially we can access many of the amazing benefits of Zen meditation at the push of a button.

So now it is just so easy to practice meditation as a vital part of Zen Buddhism. This is an exciting development, which can allow us rapid development while living and working in one of the most hectic and stressful times that the human race has ever known. We can now use technology to enhance our life and get a greater sense of connection to each other and all of humanity.
Brainwave entrainment is a method to stimulate the brain into entering a specific state by using a pulsing sound, light, or electromagnetic field. The pulses elicit the brain’s ‘frequency following’ response, encouraging the brainwaves to align to the frequency of a given beat.

This ‘frequency following’ response of brainwave entrainment can be seen in action with those prone to epilepsy. If a strobe flashes at their seizure frequency, the brain will ‘entrain’ to the flashing light, resulting in a seizure.

On the positive side, this same mechanism is commonly used to induce many brainwave states; such as a trance, enhanced focus, relaxation, meditation or sleep induction. The brainwave entrainment effectively pushes the entire brain into a certain state.

Brainwave entrainment works for almost everyone. It is a great way to lead your mind into states that you might usually have difficulty reaching, allowing you to experience what those states feel like.

THE HYPE
There is a lot of marketing hype around brainwave entrainment. It is sold with promises of increasing IQ, promoting weight loss, ‘mind-tripping’, enhancing creativity, concentration, inducing spiritual states and more.

While these claims are not entirely true, they are not altogether false either. In practice, the claims are based on an overly-simplistic view of how the brain and the brainwaves function.
THE RUB
People are very seldom deficient in a certain brainwave type in all areas of their brain. Usually the distribution is much spottier, with an excess in one area and a deficiency in another.

We are all different, especially when it comes to the distribution of our brainwaves. Boosting a certain brainwave state may be beneficial for one person, and emotionally uncomfortable for another. Without knowing each person’s starting position, entrainment can be rather ‘hit and miss’.

If brainwave entrainment leaves you with unwanted side-effects (see below) or discomfort, you’re probably encouraging a range of brainwaves that are already excessive in some area of your brain. The way around this is to get a brain map to see what your brain’s strengths and weaknesses are, and see what (if any) brainwaves could use some encouragement.

Meditation is a very personal experience and you will find that what works well for one person may not work well for you. At first you will question whether you are meditating correctly and if you are using the right techniques. Just to alleviate your concerns there is no right or wrong ways to meditate. There are, however things you can do to prepare yourself to get the most out of your session.

1. Wear comfortable clothing: You will want to wear something that is not binding and will not be distracting. Loose fitting clothes that will allow your body to move and breathe freely are preferred. Loose fitting organic cotton will work perfectly.

2. Find your spot: Find a spot where you feel peaceful and at ease. It must be a good energy spot that is both secure and free of distractions. Perhaps by a tree in your yard or a room that is soft and pleasing to the eye and senses. Regardless of what place you choose you must be comfortable there. Most of us can sense a place that just feels right to them. There is no logical reason for this other than it just feels right. Use your intuition and you will know the right place for you to meditate. As you progress you will want to find different places to meditate. There are different energy patterns and different experiences to be found in different spots.

3. Choose the best position: There are several positions you can use and there is no hard and fast rule on the right one to use. I prefer to sit cross-legged on a soft thin pillow. In the beginning it will be easier to sit Indian leg style without placing one of your feet on top of the opposite leg. As you gain flexibility you will be able to graduate to this more traditional style called the half lotus. More important than the seated style you use is to make sure you keep your back straight. This will aid in allowing the energy in your body to flow freely. It will help to unblock your chakras and accelerate your meditation experience. It will be uncomfortable at first so don’t get discouraged. If you can only meditate for five minutes in the beginning then that is good enough. Try increasing the time with each session and in a short amount of time you will be doing twenty minutes of meditation with no problem. It is also helpful if you can incorporate some yoga into your daily routine to help strengthen your core and unblock the energy points in your body. This will greatly increase the comfort and effectiveness of your sessions.

4. Choose a type of meditation: Rather than explain all the different methods of meditation I will suggest the one that I feel is the most effective for a beginning meditation. Find some soothing music that you can listen to with a set of headphones. The music must be pleasing for you and not distracting. The music is not the focal point of the meditation but is used rather as a tool to help you get into a deep meditative state. There are many meditation soundtracks available and you should be able to find something that you like to help enhance your experience. I would also recommend that the music incorporate the use of binaural technology. This technology is a great adjunct to your program in that it will help you to achieve the correct brainwave state which will profoundly effect your sessions. Remember, music is just a tool to help you get to the state of consciousness we are looking for. You may find, as you get more experienced that you will not need the music to attain that state. You are training your body and mind on a specific feeling and soon you will be able to enter this state seamlessly at will. The state we are looking for is different for all of us but when you achieve it you will know.

5. Meditate on your chakras: There are seven main chakras points in your body, but we will only meditate on three of them. This meditation technique directs our focus on the Navel, Heart and Third Eye Chakras. As you start your session you will begin by concentrating on your Navel chakra. You will place your focus on this area of your body and nowhere else. If it helps you can place two fingers on this chakra to help you focus your concentration on this area. If you find your mind wandering, gently bring your focus back to the navel chakra. This chakra will generate a tremendous amount of energy as you become more proficient. You will spend about five minutes at first on each chakra. As you become more comfortable you will increase the time to ten minutes and then fifteen minutes. Include only the three chakras discussed and you will see that you will not need to waste your time on including the other chakras at this point. These three are quite powerful when opened and will induce profound experiences of consciousness. As you become an expert in this form of meditation you may want to experiment with the other chakras. That is completely up to you but I recommend against this at first. You must perfect this form of meditation before you can hope to gain the benefits of meditating on the other chakras.

6. Non-Thought: Throughout your meditation session it is vitally important that you practice non-thought. This will get easier as you progress in your training. As you feel your mind starting to wander slowly bring your attention back to the focal point of your awareness, which will be one of the chakras. This is one of the hardest things for us to do because we have not been trained to quiet our minds and listen to our inner voice. It is in this inner voice, which is no voice at all, where truly remarkable insights and understanding takes place. It is our gateway to the powers of our subconscious that holds the key to our ultimate spirituality and enlightenment. Meditating with these intentions in mind will help unravel the mystery of your true power and place in the universe.

Remember there is no absolute right or wrong way to meditate and the results we achieve are directly related to our expectations. If you have expectations of creating a more stress free life then that is what you will achieve. I will tell you however, that if you set your expectations higher you will achieve profound effects and one of the by-products will be a more stress free life.

Meditation is a very effective for stress relief and well-beings. Generally, meditation is a practice of concentrating only the good thoughts in our mind. It’s an excellent way to keep our min calm and stress free, and having a peaceful life. It gives inspiration to a person, helps to control stress, and has numerous psychological and physical advantages. Meditation songs are considered as the most significant part of medication. There are many types of meditation songs available. Before moving on the meditation song categories, we would like to discuss about the relation between songs and meditation.

Relation between meditation and songs:

Since centuries, meditation has been practiced with background music. While meditating, music is being played from a musical source or even by hymns. Music is not bound for meditation, but it has very important role in the field of meditation. Songs make a significant ambiance for the person to concentrate. Massage therapists have been using relaxation songs since several years to create a sense of happiness and wellness during therapeutic sessions. Now you may apply the same with the convenience of your home. There are many resounding evidence which proof that meditation songs relax human’s body and contribute overall well-beings and health. As people apply different types of medication techniques, there are different types of meditation songs all over the world. Now we would describe various types of meditation songs here.

Types of Meditation Music

1. Binaural Beats: Binaural beats meditative songs have become the buzz words in the field of meditation and relaxation. When binaural beats are used perfectly during medication, they can have a significant effect on mental stress and anxiety. Furthermore, they can assist in raising meditational experiences level to greater heights for the individuals who are already using other meditation techniques.

2. Monaural Beats: Monaural beats and tones are rather important in boosting your meditation practice. Usually, monaural beats or songs are some musical recordings, which are digital orchestrated and can help significantly in going deeper while meditating. If we come scientifically, these monaural beats are originated from sound wave of specific frequencies that makes a person’s brain wave entrainment so as to concentrate profoundly.

3. Isochronic Tones: The effects of Isochronic tones are more powerful than binaural beats and monaural beats, and Isochronic tones are sharper sounding music than these two sounding systems.

Here it is a point to note that binaural beats, monaural beats and isochronic tones are not so melodious to listen to. To overcome this obstacle some melodious sound system like nature sounds, instrumental, chanting, the sounds of bells or chimes, etc. comes in the field of meditation.

4. Brainwave Entrainment: Usually most of the brainwave music is composed as slow tempo ambient music. It is considered as the classical orchestra music or new age meditation music. Sometimes brainwave music is embedded with background noises like some static noises which may be pink noise, brown noise, white noise, and so on, or it may embedded with some nature sounds such as waves/ocean, birds, wind, rain, thunderstorms, etc. However it may be composed with chimes, bells, flutes, and so on. This type of sound is not only entertaining but also very effective in boosting your meditation practice.

5. Nature Sounds: Nature is regard as the best music for meditation practice. If you are interested to apply natural sounds during your meditation, you may have to go to a quite place like a forest, a garden, a hilltop, or someplace like these. Many meditation researches believe think that these natural sounds are comparable to those in a peaceful mind. Another opportunity is to buy audio CDs of nature sounds. With the most effective nature sounds these CDs have a combination of natural sounds and classical music that can incredibly enhance your concentration in meditation. Life flow provides these CDs.

6. Instrumental Music: This type of music is a suitable alternative for any kind of meditation practice. Instrumental music consists of melodious music from musical instruments such as violin, guitar, piano, chimes, sitar, flute, harp, and some other melodious sounding instruments.

7. Chanting: It is not a type of music but a method of singing in a low tone. Chanting has been applied in meditation practice for centuries many practitioners. Primordial tones may be regarded as a kind of chanting, which helps a practitioner to set his mindset right for meditation. The most famous primordial tone is ‘Om’ which is significantly used in India for.

You may easily find meditation CDs in the local music stores. But, will they work properly? If you sure that these meditation music is good enough and scientifically build to increase your concentration, then you may buy these. But, we guarantee that most of the local CDs are not build scientifically and do not have the criteria of original meditation music. For the best result, your may collect the music CDs from life flow, which are the combination of all above mentioned categories.

Meditation is a very crucial brainwave. Self healing technique that you will live to love.This is because after you are done it leaves you empowered with lots of rejuvenation. It’s possible that you may get so much energy that you would feel dizzy. If you have such an experience get into rigorous grounding exercises and you will feel much better. This kind of exercise has had a conservative routine where you sit cross legged and start visualizing that roots are being discharged from your feet into the earth. This mode of release of extra energy has proved to be very effective.

Nevertheless there is a more efficient way of doing releasing this extra energy. Just sit in any of your comfortable positions and let your thoughts concentrate on releasing that extra energy to the earth. As you do this ensure you do the unconditioned love basics as trained in the initiation stages if you have been through it already. This is because if your consciousness level increases with the rate of divine energy and unconditional love. All you need is a relaxed pose no more rituals here. During this exercises intuition usually takes charge and depending with the time you spend on intuition the exercise might take a long or shorter time.

This process is usually done best after meditation at least twice in a day or whenever your intuition commands. The energy based brainwave meditation is a kind of therapy that communicates with the brain to bring about predetermined thought setups. This kind of initiation will take you a quarter of an hour or less. It doesn’t involve a lot of physical activities rather it involves listening to some brainwave sounds which have coded information on them.

Once you’ve listened to these sounds, the brain creates a mind thought setup which is prudent in healing of the body. This does so by synchronizing once body with the mind so as to achieve this fit. Your muscles will always be relaxed therefore healing your body whenever you tap this one of a kind divine energy. Since this kind of relaxation is easier you can practice at your own time without necessarily being assisted by a tutor. This is because meditation comes in handy to clear your mind of all unnecessary thoughts.

Meditation is one of the best brainwave self healing techniques since it is something that you can do anywhere so long as you are free. It’s prudent that you take at least 10 minutes every day to do it. This is because practice makes perfect. Once you are started it becomes a daily routine. This will go on in the long run not only to give you a healthy body but to help you approach life with a positive perspective. This is real because during the 15 minutes or so of daily meditation or the negative thoughts are filtered and you become focused on a win trajectory in life.
