Binaural Beats for Healing

Updated: Mar 21


I recently came across this post which spoke about 'Binaural Beats' and how it can help in dealing with anxiety. I thought that was interesting and gave it a try and here's what happened:

- Way more clarity and focus on the the

tasks for the day

- More energised

- Creative juices flowing

- Positive emotions & mood

- Good sleep

What did I do differently?

I started my mornings by listening to this audio and sitting with myself for 20 minutes. And that was it. It felt like such a powerful way to ground myself at the start of each day. This only works with headphones on, so make sure to have them on while listening.

Please note: This audio works for me as it doesn't have any additional music or sounds and I prefer it that way. Feel free to experiment with the ones you like. There are options available freely on Youtube. So what exactly are Binaural Beats? A binaural beat is an illusion created by the brain when you listen to two tones with slightly different frequencies at the same time. For example, if you are listening to a 440 Hz tone with your left ear and a 444 Hz tone with your right ear, you would be hearing a 4 Hz tone. When you listen to binaural beats, your brain activity matches the frequency set by the frequency of the beat. This is called the frequency-following effect. This means you can use binaural beats to entrain your mind to reach a certain mental state. According to some researchers, when you listen to certain binaural beats, they can increase the strength of certain brain waves. This can increase or hold back different brain functions that control thinking and feeling.


There are five different brain waves - Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, Gamma. To know more about binaural beats click on this link.

Please note: This post is shared as a personal experience and by no means claims to be a stand alone tool for therapy. Please do your research before you start listening to binaural beats. The reactions to the beats vary from one individual to another. Please experiment with different binary beats to find ones that suit you. The effectiveness of binaural beats depends on the listener. Some people find the beats effective, while others might find them irritating and unproductive.
