8HZ BINAURAL BEATS FULL
You won't get the benefits of the full session, which is purposefully designed by the teacher. Think of it like finishing your Yoga or Pilates class half way through. The point I'm making here is that on certain tracks, if you finish the session early, you won't have completed the full cycle of frequencies and won't get the desired result. It then ramps up to 8 Hz and stays there for 10 minutes, and then ramps up to 10 Hz and stays there until the track finishes.ĭon't worry if some of this is going over your head. It then ramps down over 3 minutes to 6 Hz. Frequency ChangesĪnother problem with cutting a session short is that some tracks change frequency at different points.įor example, a track might start out at 12 Hz. So let's say on average it takes 5-7 minutes for your brain to connect with the entraining frequencies and settle into the session that leaves 10 or so minutes for the benefits to occur.

We step down to the desired frequency gradually, over a number of minutes. Instead, we will take you to Alpha and then to Theta, leading you down a ramp. So we don't try and immediately take you from a Beta state to a Theta state.

This is a technique that has been used in brainwave audio for many years and is accepted as best practice in most instances.Ī ramp is a way of gently leading your brain towards a particular state, rather than trying to jolt or force it there. The way we approach the design of our sessions is to have a ramp. So that's a good portion of those 15 minutes already gone on just settling in and getting to a point where you calm enough to relax into the session. Stress is liked to high-level brain activity, and to bring that down to a slower range may take 5 or more minutes. Again, that's speaking generally, because at any given time your brain will have a fairly diverse brainwave structure, but you are pretty much always in a dominant state (Theta, Alpha, Beta, etc). If you're highly stressed, you'll most likely be experiencing a lot of Beta and possibly Gamma wave activity. The time it takes this to happen will vary on what your dominant brainwave frequency state is at the time. That isn't going to happen instantly.īinaural beats work by leading (entraining) your brain to a new state of mind. Let's say you're feeling stressed out and want to listen to a track to put you into a state of relaxation.

Here's why we say that you should listen for a minimum of 15 minutes. If you want a more in-depth explanation on each of these points, please read the explanations below. It's worth noting that listening beyond an hour or two in one session won't necessarily provide any additional benefits, and in some cases isn't ideal. However, this is a general rule which may differ between tracks. That's why our tracks, by default, are 30 minutes long, because this ensures good results. Anything above 15 minutes is generally beneficial. You should listen for a minimum of 15 minutes. The short answer to how long should I listen to binaural beats is this: When it comes to health and personal development, we all want fast results, we all want a short cut.īut everything has its limit, and not everything can be rushed.
