One of my favorite healing modalities is listening to binaural beats. This is called brain wave entrainment. According to Healthline and other sources online, binaural beats have been shown to have many health benefits including lowering anxiety and stress and helping sleep disorders. They are similar to the benefits of meditation but work faster and it’s easier to do. Like meditation, they help balance the left and right brain hemispheres which enhances learning, creativity, and mental health. Binaural beats are produced by sending two slightly different frequencies with each one sent to a different ear. So, they only work with headphones or ear buds and the difference of the frequencies can’t be greater than 30 Hz. Each tone also has to be below 1000 Hz. Your brain is tricked into hearing just the difference of the two tones as one tone and not the two separate ones. This helps produce different brainwave patterns. The beta frequencies are between 14 and 30 Hz, and this is the state that we are in when we are awake. The alpha, theta, and delta brainwaves are the brainwaves that are associated with the benefits.

Alpha (7 – 13 Hz) is associated with the early stages of meditation which helps you relax and stay positive. Theta (4 – 7 Hz) is a deeper meditative state and is similar to REM sleep which is a deeper trance that promotes creativity and additional healing. Delta (1 – 4 Hz) is the equivalent of deep sleep where the body rejuvenates and heals itself.

Buddhist monks practice meditation for many years to reach the delta state. Listening to binaural beats may dramatically speed up the process, but I like to do both. For me, the binaural beats help me when I do my silent meditation. In listening to the music, I am able to focus more on my breath and disregard any thoughts that come to mind. I become the music so that I can go into a deeper trance. Then when I do silent mediation, I know what the stillness feels like. And as the monks discovered, these altered states of consciousness of alpha, theta, and delta, also have many spiritual benefits as well. They increase your intuition, open your third eye, open your chakras, experience synchronicity, and the list goes on.

There are many tracks of binaural beats available on YouTube, Soundcloud, and others, but make sure that you use headphones in order for them to be effective. There are also brainwave entrainment programs available for purchase. They can vary in price from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars. I looked at some of the programs like Hemi-Sync, EquiSync, and Brain Salon. I was somewhat hesitant about spending the money. They all usually have free demos, and you may find them relaxing, but I found that I really didn’t get into a trance. Then I found one of the tracks from EquiSync on Soundcloud called “Rejuvenation” and listened to it. I’m not sure how it got there, but I did feel rejuvenated, and I had a lot of energy that day. So, I made the plunge and bought the deluxe package for around a hundred dollars that included a discount. EquiSync is provided by the EOC Institute, and their well-designed website contains volumes of information about meditation and EquiSync.

The EOC Institute also incorporated other methods of brainwave entrainment like isochronic tones, and monaural beats, as well as their own audio methods, into EquiSync. I’m sure that the other vendors have done something similar to their own programs. What I liked about EquiSync is that they have a designed program to gradually start with alpha and then go to theta and finally end with delta. They have two programs that can be purchased separately or combined called Classic and Deepereum. Deepereum allows you to build your own meditation audio track with different configuration options. It is for more advanced users. Classic on the other hand is simple. It has three releases of EquiSync over the years, labeled “Initial”, “Ensuing”, and the “Latest Release.” The patterns of the number of tracks of each release became very obvious to me especially after writing about Nikola Tesla’s 3-6-9 method, and the power of 9 in vortex math and its presence throughout time and space, in a previous article. I noticed that the number of tracks in reach release is a multiple of 9, and the number of alpha tracks in each release is a multiple of 3. The same is true for theta and delta. I wondered if that it was by design or if it was synchronicity.  So, I contacted the EOC Institute and asked them. They responded back with a short answer of synchronicity but said that the best answer was found in one of the many “The universe works through you”; quotes on the internet and sent me a link. My favorite is, “Allow me to flow through you unrestricted, and you will see the greatest magic that you have ever seen.”

Then I looked back at the articles that I have written on my metaphysical experiences and determined that they are documentation of the universe working through me. There are no such things as coincidences.

Meditating either silently or with binaural beats will help you become more aware. So, when you encounter synchronicities or things that you cannot explain, write them down, and after several occurrences, you will indeed discover that “The universe works through you”.
