How to Prepare for Binaural Beats
Binaural beats are generated recordings designed to alter brainwaves and bring about a change in consciousness. Binaural beats are most commonly used to enhance meditation, overcome addiction and increase happiness. The most common binaural frequencies are theta and delta waves because these are associated with deep sleep and meditation. Because these waves can affect the consciousness, it is necessary to prepare before listening.
