Light, Deep and Extra-Deep Meditations

What is the best binaural beat frequency for a light, deep and extra deep meditation?

A crazy amount of research went into answering this question.

Work began in February of 2020, when I started enlisting the help of professional researchers (with PhDs in neuroscience) to look at the body of studies that were conducted on people that were meditating, while having their brainwaves recorded with an EEG.

Dozens of studies were read, and many finer points debated, by an international team before a single tone was produced for this set of meditations.

The result is now ready for you to experience. Put on your headphones, get into your favorite upright (seated) position and get in the zone!
