The use of brainwave entrainment and binaural beats for therapy and meditation has grown quite popular over the years. Brainwave entrainment is also known as brainwave synchronization. It is the method of bringing your brainwave frequencies to a certain state of mind by synchronizing them to a particular frequency of sound. In general, it helps you produce an ideal brainwave frequency with the help of an exte
al audio influence. For instance, your brain will try to match its activities with the rhythmic beats you are listening to.
On the other hand, binaural beats are produced when two sounds are made together in harmony. They are a form of brainwave entrainment and are only audible for the brain. In binaural beats, the two sounds produced are of different frequencies. While one frequency is played in one ear, the other frequency is played in the other ear. The effect on binaural beats on the brain has been known to help in stress reduction and improved sleep.

This also means you get better rest and feel more energetic when you wake up. • It helps with stress reduction and relieves anxiety or tension.

With the right frequency, brainwave entrainment can help regulate the signals you send to your brain and improve your desire for sex. • It has been observed in athletes that their physical performance and energy levels can be improved when they go through a brainwave entrainment session a few minutes before they begin playing. • Brainwave entrainment has also proven useful in relieving mood swings and the symptoms of PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) in women.

About the Author
Jason Stephenson is the founder of Relax Me Online and has been involved in the meditation/relaxation healing field for the past 15 years. Having come from a musical background (his parents both professional musicians, Jason understands the importance of music and its healing capabilities. He says “Music has always been a profound part of my life. When I would arrive home from school, the first thing I would hear as I walked in the door was my Mum playing classics on the piano. It would soothe me, even back then as a child. I loved to sing when Mum played the piano too.”
The importance of meditation came to Jason in his early 20’s, when he was entering some troubled times in his personal development. He recalls one experience he had whilst meditating in a local National Park , totally at one with nature, and said he "felt like in those few moments, I had everything I had ever wanted, could want right here right now. It was an intense experience that left me wanting more, and seeking out more.”
Having an interest in Buddhism, Jason attended a 10 day Monastic retreat at Nan Tien Temple in NSW, Australia, where those days really changed his outlook. It was from this point that Jason knew he had to continue on this path of seeking a deeper peace within himself and his world he lives in.
Recently, Jason completed a Diploma with H & H Colleges in QLD Australia for Neuro-Psychological Immunity – a course where Jason says, “I really began to understand the power and connection between health of the mind and body.”
