Perhaps you think the statement that meditation doesn't work is harsh or untrue. However, if you have ever tried to enter a state of meditation then you know just how impossible it seems to be!
There is a huge amount of scientific experiments that seem to reinforce the belief that meditation can; make you healthier (both emotionally and physically), make you look younger, bolster the immune system, help you recover faster after operations, reduce stress, help you to live longer, remove past emotional issues and alter negative beliefs.
So how can I say that meditation does not work?
I can say this not because meditation never works but, unfortunately, because meditation does not work for the vast majority of us! Why is this?
Well the answer to the question "why does mediation not work?" is simple!
Meditation doesn't work for most of us because they haven't spent many, many years learning how to do it and practising it! If you have ever tried to meditate then you know just how difficult it can be. Just relaxing your body can prove to be a challenge. You get itchy, want to move about and feel restless. Even if you succeed at getting your body into the required relaxed posture you are then required to still the mind through meditation practises that are new and strange to you. It is almost impossible.
So, is there a way to gain all the benefits of meditation without the drawbacks? The answer is a "Yes"!
Through a process called brain entrainment, that uses binaural beats, you can easily enter into a state of meditation easily and within minutes.
In 1839 a discovery in sound technology was to later revolutionize the scientific world when a German professor discovered binaural beats. Something almost miraculous occurs when two seperate tones that are different only in frequency are used. One tone enters the left ear while the other enters the right ear and this is where the magic begins. The two tones, when mixed together in the brain, create the illusion of binaural beats. These beats force the brain to produce brainwaves at very specific frequencies.
Although binaural beats were discovered by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove the effect that they have on the brain wasn't understood until the late 1970s by Gerald Oster. Oster learned that when these binaural beats are used in specific ways different brain states can be induced.
The significance of how these binaural beats work becomes really interesting when we look at some experiments that were conducted using very experienced meditators and EEG machines which measure brainwave activity. It was found that during deep states of meditation these people displayed Alpha, Theta and even Delta brainwaves. These brainwave states have corresponding physical states associated with them.
Oster found that using binaural beats he could induce the Alpha, Theta and Delta brainwaves states at will! By listening to binaural beats that were recorded at Alpha frequencies the brain began to display Alpha brainwaves. The same was true for Theta and Delta. As these brainwave states are induced, through binaural beats, the corresponding physical state is also induced.
Therefore, through the use of binaural beats, it is now possible to duplicate the mental and physical effects of deep meditation. To take advantage of the power of meditation all you need to do is sit or lie down, close your eyes, pop on your headphones and turn on your binaural beats recording!
So, if you are one of the majority of people who cannot make meditation work, then simply use some binaural beats and save yourself at least a decade of practise!
