What are binaural beats?
A binaural beat is a phenomenon first noted in the late 1800’s. It occurs when two different pure tones that are close in sound, though not identical, are played in opposing ears. To compensate for this conflicting sound, the mind compensates by creating a third tone.
How do binaural beats help with astral travel?
This manipulation of auditory stimuli can increase concentration during meditation before and during astral travel. Binaural beats are hypnotic in themselves and can put even the most novice of meditation practitioners into a deeper state of relaxation.
The most beneficial aspect of binaural beats is that they can be tuned to specific frequencies. As mentioned above, when the two frequencies are played in the ears, a third tone is created. This third tone is a created by balancing out the difference between the opposing tones. For example, if a tone of 530 hz is played into one ear and 538 hz is played into the other, then the third tone will resonate at 8 hz. Why is this important? Because these tones are associated with different brain wave lengths. The main wave lengths are measured in the following:
•Gamma, 30 to 50 Hz •Beta, 14 to 30 Hz
•Alpha, 8 to 14 Hz •Theta, 4 to 8 Hz
•Delta, 0.1 to 4 Hz

As many of you may already know, the most important wave when meditating is the Theta wave. It is the resonance most strive for during deep states of meditation although Alpha is also often used for meditative states though it is for a more active state of mind. Theta would preferably be one of the best beats to use for your pre-meditation yoga routine.
With binaural beats, you can select a frequency that aligns with the state of meditation you hope to achieve. This is an incredible advantage to the novice or beginner astral traveller and expert alike. No matter what stage you are in, you will find that binaural beats will only help you reach a deeper level of meditation and aid in the relaxed state necessary for astral projection.

Where do I find binaural beats?
Binaural beats can be downloaded for free through phone apps and online. It is highly recommended that you find a copy that does not contain commercials or interruptions. Some YouTube videos online will play binaural beats on loop for hours for the specific purpose of meditation.
If you would prefer that the beats fade out after so many minutes of meditation then find a shorter length copy. Screen the track before using it in meditation just to be certain that there aren’t any interruptions that might startle you out of your state.

One final note is that binaural beats only work when played using headphones. You must wear headphones in order to achieve the effect so make sure you use your most comfortable pair before entering into your meditative state.
