Are binaural beats legit?

[Pouya]

Are they worth it? Or not very necessery?

[seeking_brilliance]

They work, if that's what you're asking. Although isochronic tones are supposed to be more effective and don't require headphones.

@seeking_brilliance how would you use them (binaural) in a meditation setting?

You can use alpha or theta beats to quickly get you in those brainwaves.  Just ignore them and continue meditating as usual. Must use headphones for binaural.   Theta beats may put you on the edge of sleep so you have to train yourself to stay awake. But this is the magic area where visions and insights will come to you, or even step into a lucid dream and do some harcore meditation /spiritual work

they are legit if you want them to be legit. YOU choose!

@seeking_brilliance I didn't know i can just let it be in the background, so it doesn't change the quality of its effects too much?

[Pouya]

@SoonHei placebo? ?

[montecristo]

In my experience they dont work, generating the beat yourself via some kind of drumming is a much more effective state changer.

[Pouya]

@montecristo Shamanic drumming sounds are very relaxing for me but havent tried drumming myself while meditating

merely listening activates afferent neurons, doing the action activates both afferent and efferent neurons.

@Pouya of course. as with anything else in life.

but it works better when one isn't aware that they are under placebo... that would not be authentic and be present instead as a block

 

either way. your faith/belief is the other end of the stick. realize that you're the creator of your experience and have binuralbeats or even a beat you can drum urself on the table do the trick for you

You aren't supposed to 'listen' to them. Just ignore them.  they will work in the background. Like I said though, isochronic tones are more effective and work the same as shamanic drumming except you get to pick which hertz (brainwave) the 'drumming' will put you in

[Pouya]

@SoonHei damn, the placebo is gone now!  But i'll still try, maybe it benefits me.

@seeking_brilliance i'll check it out

When I first started my spiritual journey I used HoloSync . It for sure works.

Legit but you need to have the right expectations.

They will not make you enlightened.

They are nowhere as powerful as psychedelics or a hardcore meditative or yogic practice.

I consider them good training wheels for newbies.

@Leo Gura Can I ask what happened to this week’s video?
