Are some forms of brain entrainment more effective than others? Do Binaural beats work better than Monaural beats or are Isochronic tones the optimum way to induce deep levels of relaxation?
There has been some scientific exploration in this area but, in my opinion, more research is needed before any definite conclusions can be made.
I first encountered the world of brain entrainment around 17 years ago, when I became interested in meditation and hypnosis. Composing music and practicing hypnotherapy meant that creating my own Relaxation music was inevitable. After some research I began adding my own Binaural beats and Isochronic tones.
Anyone with a basic grasp of music production could make their own Binaural beats, Monaural beats and Isochronic tones. It's not difficult. Certain sounds and frequencies work better than others though, so you need to do a bit of reading and a lot of experimentation.
After many years of composing relaxation music I had a thought.
What happens when you combine Binaural beats, Monaural beats, Isochronic tones, Green noise and Bilateral sounds?
Well, profound relaxation happens. I call it Sound Magick™.
Binaural beats
The most well-known form of brain entrainment encourages relaxation by using 2 different frequencies (1 for each ear). The difference between the 2 frequencies causes your brain to perceive an oscillation. 100 Hz in your left ear and 110 Hz in your right ear creates a perceived oscillation of 10 Hz which will encourage your brain to produce Alpha waves.
Monaural beats
Monaural beats are similar to Binaural beats but are not stereo. All you need to do is convert a Binaural beat track from stereo to mono and you'll hear a similar rhythmic pulsing.
Isochronic tones
Isochronic tones are created by rapidly turning a sound on and off, creating a rhythmic oscillation. Like monaural beats, they work with or without headphones.
Bilateral sounds
Bilateral sounds move rhythmically across the stereo field. They are thought to enhance visualization
and Hypnosis.
Green noise
You've probably heard of white noise and maybe even pink noise. The term Green noise is relatively unknown and is used to describe the mid-range frequencies typically heard in nature. The sound of the ocean is a good example of Green noise. There isn't a lot of research on the benefits of Green noise but there is on White noise which has been shown to improve sleep. I prefer Green noise because it sounds much more pleasant.
Put these 5 ingredients together and you have Sound Magick™.
