 Right, so in this video we're talking about binaural beats and are they really effective? Do they actually work and I want to just break down a few things here because firstly there's been a lot of people asking about this and saying, you know, it's a mixed thing, right? Some people say it doesn't work, some people say it does work, and then some people like haven't really tried it but they just have heard that it doesn't work, so they just kind of repeat that information and this by the way this is not biased at all. There should be no links to binaural beats in the description this is just me talking about my experiences and what I think. So let's just begin. So firstly binaural beats, the way they work is if you imagine a tuning fork and I've explained this in many other videos but a tuning fork, right? When you hit it, it vibrates at a certain frequency and if you hold that next to another tuning fork, it will, the sound waves will go through the air and slowly change the vibration and the frequency of the other tuning fork and this is known as entrainment or, you know, there's many different things it's known as actually but for the purposes of this, this is what I'm going to refer to as entrainment. One thing vibrates at a certain frequency or pulses at a certain frequency and that affects the frequency on the vibration of the other thing. So what happens with binaural beats is you have essentially two different tones, two different frequencies played one in each ear and this only works with stereo headphones by the way so if you don't have stereo headphones it won't work and what happens is the two different tones play in your brain because it's like, I don't know, I don't know why it does this but you can't hear both tones simultaneously you have to hear one tone and so what this forces the brain to do is to perceive those two different, slightly different tones as one tone and you hear it as almost like this kind of pulsing and by doing that it forces your brain to tune itself to the frequency of, how can I explain this? The difference between the two tones is the frequency that it trains your brain to be at, if that makes sense so let's say if the difference is x amount, like a certain number it will force your brain into that brainwave state and so depending on the difference between the two tones and the frequency of them you can create a brainwave state so you can literally force your brain to be more relaxed more energetic, more focused, more whatever, creative and so the science behind it and the way it works is completely solid you can look at it yourself, the studies have been done on this it shows that depending on the frequency you can do all kinds of things you can enhance your healing ability, your learning, creativity, sleep, how relaxed you are how good you feel, all kinds of things can be influenced by this just in the same way that you can influence the same things by changing your brainwaves in other ways electrical stimulation for example, or chemical so really as long as we agree that it changes your brainwaves and the way it works to do that then it's really no debate where the debate comes in, where things get controversial is that just like with anything you have an infinite number of people in the world making and selling and providing these things so you're bound to get ones that just aren't that good and with this in particular quality is essential just like with supplements right it really matters the quality of them and so what happens is with binaural beats anyone can make them online for free you can make them, you can get these apps there's all kinds of free apps you can get that do it you can make them in audacity on your phone even but the problem is to actually get them to do something you have to know what you're doing and this is where it gets a bit tricky if you just make them on your phone yes they might do something but in my experience I've tried pretty much, if it's online I've probably tried it if it's sold online as a binaural beats package I have probably tried it I've spent a long time testing and trying these different things because as you might imagine I get reached out to constantly from people companies, producers who are begging me to try their binaural beats and promote them and over the years there's really only been a handful of them that I actually think are good and that I've actually tested and that I believe are good and they're the only ones I talk about and promote and ever link to the other ones I just don't talk about but there's hundreds of them hundreds of these different companies and people that make them they're popping up all the time left and right it's crazy it's like the Wild West out there but like I said in my experience there's only really four or five really good producers that I've come across that I know work and I'm not going to say who they are in this video because I don't want this to be a biased video I don't want you to think oh you're just saying that so you click on the link no, no if you really want to know you can find them in my other videos or my site or something but yeah, there's only four or five that I really believe in the rest in my experience is a lot that are just not good and that's, you know who knows, like maybe they don't know any better maybe they didn't know quite how to encode the sound properly maybe they didn't know that when you upload it to certain places it downcodes and deregulates it and the effect isn't quite the same maybe they don't understand the different cycles of your you know, brainwave cycles and how to use ambient noises to create you know, it could be a number of things the point is, the point I'm trying to get at here is they do work but, and it's a big but you have to get good ones they have to be high quality and they have to know what they're doing otherwise, yeah, you'll just be one of those another one of those people saying no, they don't work, I tried it didn't feel anything or gave me a headache or something no, okay, you need to get ones that are good okay, that's a really important step so in a nutshell, yes why don't we be so effective and I've personally used one in particular but I'm not going to mention in this video that has been really good really, really good for me and has given me results throughout the years I've used them regularly and there's been a couple others as well I've used them for subliminal learning improving sleep, relaxation, focus I quite often actually, when I work when I, you know, sit down and work on my laptop I will do what's called power work where I basically put binaural beats in my headphones and it enhances my brain I'm able to think and flow much faster much more effectively, you know I can get three hours of work done in one hour crazy things like that, you know I've been able to do that with binaural beats so, you know, I have to say just from personal experience they're really good yeah, that's it, I hope this has made sense see you next time
