Harnessing the Power of Binaural Beats: Sound Wave Therapy for Anxiety and Stress Relief

Binaural Beats are sound wave therapy or brainwave entrainment that the medical industry is using to treat anxiety, stress, and other related disorders. 

How it works is let’s say a 200 Hz frequency is registered in the right ear and a 210 Hz frequency is registered in the left ear the binaural beat is 10 Hz.  Resulting in a brainwave frequency of Alpha.   These frequencies are often masked with music or white noise because most people don’t really like just listening to tones.   

Binary beats can be found for free on YouTube but check the source and make sure they are legitimate.  If you have apple music you can find companies that put out binaural beat music.  Again, check to make sure they are legitimate. 

The company I like is Zen 12.  It is designed to be 12 minutes of brainwave entrainment, you don’t have to sit quietly, you can be doing a mundane task while listening and find yourself relaxing from exposure to the sounds. (Zen 12 samples can be found on Youtube as well)

Other technologies that are similar to binaural beats but with actual word messages are where two different messages are played in each ear.  It’s odd at first and catches the attention of the two hemispheres of the brain resulting in a whole brain or Holosync allowing the desired message to bypass the conscious mind and suggest directly to the subconscious mind. 

I have dealt with two companies that offer high-quality recordings for this purpose: 1) Paul Sheele – Learning Strategies (paraliminals) and John Assaraf (Author: Having It All, Innercise, The Answer) NeroGym.
