Ok, time for some enlightenment----my meditation stuff I
do. First, let me say that I am a
skeptic when it comes to lots of stuff, but this seems to work for ME.
I have meditated off and on for years, sometimes
successfully (oh the pure bliss) and sometimes not (damn brain won't SHUT
UP!!!!!!!) It takes practice and the more frequently I
meditate the more auspicious the experience.
Recently I have been aided in my journey to the abyss by
using binaural beats from a soundtrack.
Now I researched binaural beats/tones and found that the majority of the
scientific data says it’s hogwash. They
say that there were no significant differences in brainwave frequencies between
using binaural tones, soothing music/sounds and nothing. Needless to say I was bit disappointed that,
one they don’t work and two, that I fell for an alluring marketing scam. (Ok, ok, I only did a little research initially,
but have done more since! Call it a
desperate impulse buy!!!)
With that said---I still honestly like using the soundtrack.
It gives me something to focus on. It
provides me with the bridge to transverse into a state of total, and I mean
TOTAL relaxation! And it gives me some
really brilliant sensations—sorta like a psychedelic high as I focus on what
feels like, to me anyway, like colorful, electric sparks twisting and turning
and gently pulsating through my brain and eventually my whole essences.
I was initially bothered by some pretty caustic headaches. But
this went away once I turned the sound down.
I also am finding that, like a song on the radio, my brain is
remembering the tones, so throughout the day I can replay the tracks on my mind
when I need a quick fix!
There are lots of binaural tracks out there should you chose
to use them. I have the Omharmonics 1 series offered thru Mind Valley (omharmonics.com). But am seriously contemplating creating some
of my own. Happy meditation!
