More about binaural beats

You may wonder why I have started talking about binaural beats all of a sudden. Well the truth is some of the targets suffer from effects of chronic insomnia. Of course it is induced rather than somatic. By evoking states of relaxation the binaural beats or the states induced by them provides a relief from sleep deprivation. Certain schools claim that these software’s can replace sleep to some extant. Though binaural beats are intended to bring forth a state of meditation in the users by evoking frequencies suitable for the purpose, they can also induce a state of rest in the individual. This is very useful when you are suffering from insomnia.

Sleep deprivation is a serious problem. It upsets the rhythm of the body. It slows down the alertness of the individual and makes him/her commit mistakes in their daily lives. It is an intense form of torture known to be very effective in breaking down a person completely. In the technique of brain washing sleep deprivation is a major item. A few days sleeplessness can make an individual like a drunken man, without having any control over his movements. The effects of long sleep deprivation can be imagined.

Melodious music is very soothing to the nerves. It calms us and invigorates us, so hearing music at all times can be very beneficial to a person. Binaural beats are not music in the strict sense of the word. But by the interesting method by which they introduce relaxation they may be very helpful to combat the effects of insomnia. I have found them very relaxing personally. But I can not advise their use without a word of caution. There could be firms and individuals of a weird turn of mind. There are possibilities to induce states of excitement and tension by using the technique too. Some may not have understood what binaural beats are and may be trying to make a fast buck by selling these audios. You can not tell whether their claims are genuine or not. But for those of you who are a little more industrious, there are software’s to check it out. Open EEG of Source forge net is a good site to learn more about it. They have a free tool named BAVSA(binaural beat visual analysis tool). The tool is very handy in checking whether the audio file contains any binaural beats at all. There is also a free tool to create your own binaural music if you want, then you do not have to worry about what is inside the file. Just type Open EEG or Bavsa in your browsers search engine and you will be taken to the site. Free binaural beats are also available from many sources. Please be careful with them and use them after checking them out with Bavsa.
