Binaural Beats in History
From the droning chant of Tibetan monks to the rhythmic beat of a Native American drum, sound has played an important role in healing and spiritual practice throughout history. Primitive cultures were aware of the powerful and beneficial effects of binaural beats on the brain centuries before modern science recognized those same effects.
Research conducted by Melinda Maxfield, PhD, demonstrates how the drumbeats found in rituals of various shamanic cultures beat at a steady rate of 4.5 beats per second, inducing a trance-like state in listeners. This trance-like state is a result of the brain's shift into a 4.5-beats-per-second brainwave pattern, a low Theta brainwave state.
Using repetitive beats or chanting, Native American shamans, Hindu healers, Tibetan monks, Sufi dervishes, and practiced Yogis have been able to induce an entire range of brainwave states for healing and the attainment of higher levels of consciousness. In India, there exist songs and mantras created specifically for use in curing illness and disease, practiced by Babaji—Hindu healers—to heal even such medical problems as arthritis and smallpox.
Everywhere we turn, in every culture throughout history, binaural beats have been a powerful tool in the healing process, as well as a guide in spiritual ceremony and ritual. At Awakened Minds, Inc., we've taken the research and those thousands of years of proven effects and paired them with the power of today's technology.
