I took about 15 minutes this evening to run a meditation using a homemade 110 Hz binaural sound file courtesy of Audacity sound editing software. This meditation’s focus was on finding one word I could use to teach my brain how to imagine transferring the physical energy generated by racing thoughts of a person or situation to its triggering source. This way I can more efficiently move past the thoughts in a truly freeing manner. I believe it can be done efficiently, “The process just needing a little fine tuning.”
Thus far, I’ve been using long affirmations statements to achieve this, and I feel like it’s been working. But things seem to need to be reinforced every couple of days. Hence the desire for one word that symbolically represents the entire harmless process in a way that will preserve what little sanity I have left.
Why binaural 110 Hz sound file usage? In the realm of meditation, I’ve become quite aware through my own reading of research in recent years as to how sound holds the key to unlocking profound states of consciousness. My personal journey into the depths of mindfulness has yet to be significantly enhanced by the use of 110 Hz binaural beats. However, “Rome wasn’t built in a day!”
This specific frequency has only recently become a cornerstone of my daily practice even though I’ve known about it for a while. As to why it’s taken me so long to create the necessary sound file using Audacity sound editing software is beyond me. “But I’ve finally begun making the leap!”
For those who may not be aware, binaural beats are not just any sound; they are a unique auditory experience where two slightly different frequencies are played in each ear. The brain perceives a third tone, the difference between the two, creating a beat that can influence our brainwave patterns. This auditory illusion is not just a trick of the mind but a gateway to altering our mental state.
Why 110 Hz, you might ask? This frequency resonates with the baritone range, which is particularly grounding for the human body. When used as a binaural beat, it helps synchronize the brain’s hemispheres, fostering a sense of balance and enhancing focus, creativity, and emotional stability. Simply chanting Om for a few minutes at 110 Hz, which is the A note, seems to have a relaxing effect for me of late, too.
My recent desire to work with things at 110 Hz is not just based on subjective experience though. “It’s supported by science!”
Studies suggest that binaural beats can influence brain waves and potentially entrain the brain to certain frequencies, leading to systematic changes in EEG parameters. These changes through the usage of a 110 Hz soundtrack can help align one’s brain with the alpha-theta border state conducive to meditation, where relaxation and creativity thrive.
Since incorporating 110 Hz binaural beats into my meditation routine, I’ve personally noticed a small improvement in my ability to concentrate and a deeper sense of emotional release.
In a way, it’s kind of like having a tuning fork for my mind, if we can still call my mind a mind at this point; aligning my thoughts and emotions, paving the way for a transformative meditation session. “That’s the plan anyhow!”
From what I read, those who’ve studied this stuff for a while are saying the use of 110 Hz binaural beats is more than a practice: It’s a journey towards inner harmony. As a seasoned meditator just beginning to work with things as described above, I have a strong sense of the powerful potential in the usage of this sound frequency.
But as of now, the book is still out on this for me. But I’m hoping that with due diligence, “This might just be what the doctor ordered!”
With regard to the one word that would enable me to get my brain to release negative racing thoughts by seeing the physical energy generated by them as released from my body and placed upon the triggering sources? I think a few more sessions plus a search on the internet will get me what I need.
Harry Potter came to mind a lot during tonight’s session along with the word, “Evicto,” and “Ridiculous!” But that might just be the subconscious part of my mind letting me know that if I continue along this line of thinking, “My ridiculous thoughts are going to lead me down a trail requiring me to buy a tent and join the homeless population!”
