Gets the brain into a focused state first (40hz) and then progressively transitions into a relaxed state (6Hz). This is a great way to start your day, enhance your meditation, or simply reduce stress and anxiety when preparing for something that requires focus (tests, exams, studying, bills, paperwork). This was inspired by experiments that have had success reducing stress and anxiety using Binaural Beats of 40Hz and 6Hz for only 5 minutes. Other research has found that 40Hz beats for 5-10 minutes helps to increase focus. Listen to the entire track because your brain needs at least 5 minutes to synchronize. The length is just under 8 minutes, to AVOID mid-roll ad disruptions. See instructions below to enable looping if you want to play it longer.

The idea is to avoid interfering with the binaural beats. The music can help distract your mind, but there isn’t a lot of research on this technique. If you want the pure tones, for more intense brain entrainment, see the alternate version below. Alternate version with no music (pure tones). ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ππ‘πŽπ†π‘π€πŒ : 00:00 40 Hz for 4 minutes (440Hz to 220Hz tone sweep) 04:00 40Hz to 6Hz transition (220Hz to 174Hz tone sweep) 05:00 6Hz for 3 minutes (174Hz to 110Hz tone sweep) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ π–π€π‘ππˆππ†π’ & πƒπˆπ’π‚π‹π€πˆπŒπ„π‘ : See the WARNINGS & DISCLAIMER page. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ πˆππ’π“π‘π”π‚π“πˆπŽππ’ : 1. Use decent quality stereo headphones and make sure they are in the correct ears (left and right). Headphones with noise isolation are even better. 2. Only turn the volume up enough to hear the pulsing or wobbling effect of the Binaural Beat. Louder isn’t better and only risks damaging your hearing. 3. When trying to meditate or relax with the beats, close your eyes and try to clear your mind. Focus on the sound and let it take you away. 4. To get the most benefit, listen to the entire program because it takes time for the brain to synchronize. This track has a unique progression of carrier tones and beats. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 𝐑𝐄𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒 : A skeptical systematic review, but I like this paper because the author presents the background very well and refers to several interesting studies. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10198548/ Ingendoh, Ruth Maria et al. β€œBinaural beats to entrain the brain?
