Binaural Beats and Alpha Brain Waves

My audios, Powerful Affirmations, are designed to speed up the process of reprogramming the subconscious mind.

To the originally composed music, I have added binaural beats and “hypnotic” sounds of waves to bring you in a state of alpha brain waves.

In this blog post i will shortly explain about binaural beats and alpha brainwaves.

Binaural beats operate by playing two different tones, one into each ear. The tones are very slightly different, which causes your brain to attempt to reconcile the difference. In doing so, your brain is placed into a pre-determined level of activity. If for example a tone of 220 Hz is played in the left ear, and a tone of 210 Hz in the right ear, the brain will get into a state of 10 Hz waves, which is alpha waves.

Because our brains operate in quite similar ways, it’s a relatively simple process to find out which range of frequencies (or beats) will place our mind into a creative state, a deep meditative state, etc.

In my Powerful Affirmations audios I have designed the binaurals beats so that they start in one frequency, and slowly takes the listener to the wanted state of brain waves.

Our brains produce waves of different frequences, which can be measured with an EEG instrument. The brain waves are classified into four groups of waves: Delta, Theta, Alpha and Beta. Alpha brainwaves cycle in the range of 8-12 Hz, with 10 Hz being the norm. They are usually active when the body and mind are relaxed and stress-free. In the Alpha state, you are relaxed but mentally alert. Creative people and children tend to have higher levels of Alpha activity.

When it comes to learning new information, research shows that the best way for the human brain to pick up and retain new knowledge is to be in a relaxed but aware state. Relaxed, obviously, doesn’t mean sleeping in this context. We want the brain to be lucid and aware, but the body to be relaxed. This gives the your brain free reign to fire and helps your brain to learn.

This state of relaxation is called the alpha state. The alpha state is proven to be effective in learning; however, achieving the state isn’t the easiest thing in the world to do. Although it can be achieved in a number of different ways, the point of relaxation required is specific, and this is what my Powerful Affirmations audios is designed for.

Alpha brain waves are considered invaluable in everyday human life. When you first wake up in the morning, your brainwaves are functioning highly. Research shows that immediately becoming alert and perceptive of your day’s plans upon waking is a great way to get them done. Telling yourself what to do, like positive reinforcement, when your alpha brain waves are firing properly and frequently is a great motivational tool. This is why affirmations work at the best during a state of alpha waves.
