An example of this effect would be a 100Hz frequency playing in your left ear and a 105Hz frequency playing in your right ear. With these two different frequencies playing in each ear separately, but at the same time, your brain automatically tries to make up the difference in this frequency range and therefore is gently brought into a new, desired brainwave state as described above. There are actually 5 known brainwave state frequencies each having their own set of unique characteristics:ġ) Delta (0.5 – 4Hz) – the deep sleep wave (helps in healing and regeneration while asleep in this brainwave state.)Ģ) Theta (4 – 7.5Hz) – the light meditation and sleeping wave (where you can experience vivid visualizations, inspiration, creativity and insight.)ģ) Alpha (7.5 – 14Hz) – the deep relaxation wave (optimal frequency to train your mind with positive, successful thoughts as it also heightens your imagination, visualization, memory, learning and concentration.)Ĥ) Beta (14 – 40Hz) – the waking consciousness and reasoning wave (associated with normal, every-day effective functioning and a heightened state of alertness, logic and critical reasoning.)ĥ) Gamma (above 40Hz) – the flow-state and insight wave (associated to being “in the flow” allowing for heightened focus, concentration and bursts of insight.)īasically, one frequency of sound plays through one speaker/headphone and a different sound frequency plays in the other speaker/headphone.

Our subconscious mind operates, throughout the day and night, in various brainwave state frequencies, measured in cycles per second (Hz) These frequencies range from the slowest (Delta) frequencies experienced in deep, dreamless sleep and in deep meditation where your conscious-awareness is fully detached, to the fastest (Gamma) frequencies associated to stimulating flow states, high-level thinking and information processing. In simplest form, they are an audio technology which are used for (safe) brainwave entrainment. But what exactly are binaural beats, how do they work and why choose to listen to them? All good questions, so here we go: To this point in your floating practice you may, or may not, have heard of – or perhaps already experienced – binaural beats and their effective use of being a unique option/tool to listen to while in (or out of) the tank. Binaural beats can be experienced in any float session you book.
