The Power of Binaural Beats for Meditation and Life. On and Off Your Mat Yoga Podcast
-
- Self-Improvement
For this episode I sat down with Karen Newell. Karen is the co-founder of Sacred Acoustics and co-author with Dr. Eben Alexander of the book Living in a Mindful Universe :A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Heart of Consciousness. As an innovator in the emerging field of brainwave entrainment audio meditation, she empowers others in their journeys of self-discovery. Creating and recording binaural beats and other sound patterns, she teaches how to connect to inner guidance, achieve inspiration, improve wellness and develop intuition.
MY 5 BIGGEST TAKE-AWAY FROM THIS EPISODE:
1- Delta brain waves are associated with deep sleep, Theta are associated with deep mediation, Alpha is for focus and concentration, and Beta, is the state we are in thinking and going about our days.
2- The sounds don't affect the physical body directly but change your awareness of your body, your level of identification with the physical and non-physical parts of yourself, it affect the mental, energetic, emotional and spiritual aspects which in turn will impact the physical body.
3- Binaural beats can help you access deeper levels of mediation, deeper sleep, better focus, deal with mental health issues (particularly anxiety and depression) and access higher levels of consciousness (telepathic connection, Kundalini awakening, lucid dreaming and out of body experiences.)
4- The sounds affect the lower, primitive brain, entraining it to match the vibration to put the thinking mind on hold.
5- For optimal effect, use headphones and lie down when you listen.
QUESTIONS SHE ANSWERED DURING THIS EPISODE :

ABOUT OUR GUEST
As an innovator in the emerging field of brainwave entrainment audio meditation, Karen Newell, co-founder of Sacred Acoustics, empowers others in their journeys of self-discovery. Using Sacred Acoustics recordings, she teaches how to connect to inner guidance, achieve inspiration, improve wellness and develop intuition.
In her search for answers to fundamental questions, it became clear that direct experience is crucial to full understanding. To bolster her strong sense of inner knowing and alignment with her higher nature, she enrolled in a series of hands-on experiential courses to investigate and develop such skills
