Use a Binaural Beats Download Rather than Coffee

By Bob Matthews


Having trouble waking up? Try using a binaural beats download to get your brain energized.

A binaural beats download is a good way to put your mind into any one of several desired moods or mind-states. How does this technology work? Due to our knowledge and understanding of brainwave frequencies.

Using electroencephalography, scientists have the capability to see our brainwave frequencies. What they have seen over the years is that the frequency of our brain waves is dependent upon our states-of mind and vice-versa. Even more incredible is the indisputable fact that those frequency ranges are very the same for everybody.

Do you want to be focused, energised and mentally completely engaged? Then you need your brain waves to be in the high frequency beta (>15 Hz) range. Do you need to be in a resting state? Then the alpha frequency range (9-14 Hz) would be applicable for you. If you want to be calm and relaxed, you will need to select either the low frequency theta frequency range (5-8 Hz) or the very low frequency delta (1-4 Hz) range.

(Please note, there aren't any rigorous standard definitions for these frequency ranges. The numbers given above are only approximate and sometimes vary by really slight amounts in the literature.)

In the present day's busy society, when folks think of binaural beats downloads, they most often think of relaxing, restful or meditative audio sessions. But binaural beats aren't limited to any specific frequency range. A selection of binaural beats audio programs are available for every one of the brainwave frequency ranges.

In reality a binaural beats download is an ideal way to get energized. Energizing binaural beats sessions work through the same mechanism as relaxing binaural beats programs. Both work by means of a principle called entrainment.

Our brains have a propensity to lock onto an external signal if that signal is in one of our brainwave frequency ranges. Once our brain "locks on" we can simply change the frequency of that external signal and the brain follows.

So, an energizing binaural beats download works by enticing our brainwave frequency to sync up with it and then slowly increasing that frequency until it reaches the beta (mental alertness) range or even gamma (high awareness) frequency range.

So the next time you want to feel energised, incentivized or plain "geeked" reach for that binaural beats download instead of that cup of coffee.

Advantages of the Binaural Beats Download

Ever attempted to "make" yourself wake up, calm down, concentrate or focus, for example? On demand? We all have. And often, we will be able to only get part way there - at the most. Most times, our mind does what it wants to - it churns away at the frequency that it wants to run at in order to get done what it wants to get done. And if what it wants to do is worry, daydream or catastrophize; that ' s the frequency that it will run at. And you'll be entrapped in that mind state until you can somehow get your brain to adjust its operating frequency.

So we attempt to coerce our mind to cooperate. And will power is a great idea but I have found it generally does not work so well. And even when it does, it does not last long.

To be fair to your stubborn brain, your brain is making an attempt to work for you - to protect you. If your life is filled with stress-inducing circumstances, your mind will put itself in a never-ending "worry loop" focusing on your Problems - not always fixing them... Just worrying. Or if you're tired, your cerebral cortex will try to protect you by trying hard to get you to sleep and so it runs at that low frequency - even if you need to be awake and alert and focused at this time.

Binaural Beats Takes Away the Need to Rely on Willpower

As I mentioned earlier, it simply works with the brain (not forcing it like will power makes an attempt to do - but gently leading it) to adjust brainwave frequency to where it needs to be... Quick simply, and, best of all - pleasantly.

Simple? Like I have announced many times before, if you can press a play button, you can begin improving your mind state and your moods almost instantly.
