Binaural beats help you enter a meditative state quickly and easily, allowing you to use meditation as a tool for personal growth, relaxation, and spiritual practices. How do binaural beats work? Binaural beats are a psychoacoustic phenomenon that arises in the brain when the right and left ears are exposed to different tones with a constant amplitude. These tones have slightly different frequencies and create a third frequency that we perceive in the center of our brain. This generates a pleasant, gentle, and very comforting sensation.

Day to day stressors like traffic, the mean lady at the gas station with the bad breath that I had to see every morning, and the long hours put in at work were enough to drain me. My boss, with his long nose hair, breathing down my neck about my productivity level was enough to deplete a person every day. I could not even enjoy a second of my day because I was lost in worry and stress over what was going to happen next and what I could do to control it.
