(and maybe
some not so deep)
The Binaural Beat Goes On
I will keep this short and sweet. Binaural
Beats... are auditory snake oil.
Life is binaural. To use a more exact
phrase... life is heard in stereo (unless we are unfortunate enough to
lose hearing in one or both ears). Binaural, as far as I am concerned, simply
means 'in both ears'... or stereo. But the word binaural sounds more
scientific. One of life's lessons is if people are pitching you
something that they have to make sound more complex then it really is... then
walk away. Lets consider the word 'beats'. Beats, as we know, are sounds in
rhythm. Like the beating of a drum. Binaural Beats, ergo, are simply
stereo sounds in rhythm.
Pick a sound, any sound. Put it in your
left ear, then your right ear. Repeat. Are you feeling the magic? Me
neither.
I have placed 'binaural beats' in
some of our relaxation recordings when appropriate and natural. The
dreamscape Cliff House has them
in a few places. But I will not say that they do anything magical except give
the listener an interesting sound effect. All of our recordings are in
stereo, er, ummm... I mean binaural. I call ours 'Virtual Dreaming' but maybe
I should come up with a more scientific term. Lets see, how about '
Binaural Theta Brainwave Generator' or something in that nature. On second
thought Virtual Dreaming works for me.
Lastly, the Binaural Beat generation would like
you to think these 'magic beans' of stereo sounds can help you do...
anything. To see one of these sites search Google for "Binaural Beats" and "Astral Projection" (pick a link,
any link) . Lets see... they help you : Lucid Dream, Remote View, Astral
Project, View Auras, Build Confidence, Find your Spirit Guide, Make Money,
Lose Weight, Enhance Mental Telepathy, Grow Hair and Sleep... all for the
incredibly low, low price of 14.95!!
Wow, for $14.95 we all can have super
powers.
These days if I really want a good and relaxing
binaural beat experience I put on a old Pink Floyd CD.
