Hypnosis with Binaural Beats

Hypnosis with Binaural Beats

Using binaural beats to produce relaxation and other health benefits is one of the tried and tested methods of self hypnosis and guided hypnosis. It is also a great addition to meditation techniques for promoting harmony and calming effects.

Binaural beats is a brain response that originates in the sound-processing center of each brain hemisphere when two different tones are played in each ear. The result is the acoustic illusion of a beat created by the pattern formed because of slightly different frequencies of the sound. The beat needs to be heard through stereo headphones to avoid cross-bleed across ears.

Binaural beats stimulation is used for guided hypnosis by the hypnotherapy professionals or for self induced hypnosis by the subject to induce altered states of consciousness. The sound effect is heard when the difference between the frequencies is less than 30 Hz.

For example, if you play a 325 Hz sine wave in one ear and a 335 Hz in the other ear, the brain entrains a binaural beat of 10 Hz (or the ‘alpha pattern’) inducing a state of relaxation while awake. This means that the auditory system of the brain tunes in to the sound frequency and creates a brain wave pattern that helps you relax, sleep better and calm your nerves.

According to the hypnosis therapists, the following frequencies correspond to a specific state of consciousness or physical state:

Frequency Type of Brain wave State of Consciousness / Physical state
Less than 4 Hz Delta waves Deep dreamless sleep, loss of body awareness
4 to 8 Hz Theta waves REM sleep, deep meditation, dreams
8 to 12 Hz Alpha waves Relaxation while awake
12 to 40 Hz Beta waves Cognition, active thinking, concentration
More than 40 Hz Gamma waves Higher mental activity, consciousness, problem solving, fear

Although many neurologists believe that ‘consciousness is the result of electrochemical neurological activity’, researches could not conclusively prove that higher levels of mind that include intuition, perception, imagination, higher consciousness, will, spirit, or soul are located in the brain tissue. Researchers feel that these aspects of mind cannot be comprehended by neuro-chemical studies of the brain alone. The investigations are still on, so maybe this mystery can be resolved in the near future!

A word of caution – binaural beats is not for you if you suffer from illness such as seizure disorder or schizophrenia.

The mind over matter thingy over losing weight seems to be easier said than done. You can always tell yourself that your not hungry but when your body converts into physical symptoms of hunger, that's the time you'd feel the consequences. I should know because I do portion size and I think, hypnosis is more of self control. If your body is used of eating big bulk of food every meal, you can't just control hunger manually and not use an aid for it. I am using an appetite suppressant and it does help me control my hunger. Through prescopodene, I have significantly lost 2 stones without depriving myself of eating. I could eat anything I want but through the effect of the pill, I don't eat as much because my mind tells me that I am always full. In fact, the energy booster also helped me because I can now keep up with sports and that,I know, also contributed a lot on how I lost that much in just two and a half months. Just saying!

As a weight loss hypnotherapist I agree that suggestions can be used to help manage food cravings and help someone lose weight. However, you need to go a step further and find out from the subconscious why it causes weight gain and is resistant to weight loss in order to ensure the effects of treatment are permanent. If you only suppress the problem rather than resolving the cause, the problem will eventually return.
