Meditating With The Right Meditation Music

Meditation is about shifting your brainwaves' state. The emptying of thoughts happens when meditation is done correctly. When we hear of all the benefits of meditation such as healing, eliminating pain, deep learning, accessing the field of consciousness and so on, it is actually effects of being in a different brainwave frequency or state. It's just like expecting to get wet if you walk out in the rain, or expecting a sunburn if it's sunny. Meditation is a means of shifting into different brain waves.

Brain waves are like gears of a car and meditation is like the transmission (the part that holds the gears). Not knowing about brain waves and trying to meditate is like trying to drive a manual car without understanding the gears. You may be able to get it to go by guessing along the way, but it's definitely not going to be your idea of a comfortable ride. The experience is a night and day difference between someone who understands them and someone who doesn't. The same goes for meditation.

There are several brain waves that we operate in but the four most commonly known are BETA, ALPHA, THETA, and DELTA in that particular order. To liken it to a car again, that is first, second, third, and fourth gear. Shifting from one to the next can happen within meditation. This "shifting" is known as BRAIN ENTRAINMENT. There are many meditation techniques that can be used to manually shift through these state, but this particular article is about using meditation music with binaural beats. Meditation music with binaural beats is one of the most effective, one of the fastest ways that you can safely shift brain waves.

Binaural beats is a term that refers to two different beats, one for each ear. The brain makes up the difference. So if you have a frequency of 850hz playing in your left ear, and 870hz playing in your right ear, the brain will make up the 20hz difference. Slowly, the frequencies are brought closer together to achieve the desired brainwave state. All music with binaural beats MUST be listened to with stereo headphones. Speakers will not do the job because the frequencies will not be isolated to each ear. The frequencies are usually in the background of some soothing music. They do not have to be picked up by your conscious level of hearing - your brain will pick up on them.

Another tip is to keep your eyes closed throughout the entire meditation process. Lights and colors have different frequencies which typically make it much more difficult to slow down the brain.
