Delta Waves and Binaural Beats??

Hey,

Just curious if anyone has info/experience with these kinds of CDs for sleep and meditation?
My buddy claims it's really no different than having a fan or playing a CD of white noise. Just background noise to drown out other sounds and lull you to sleep.
Is it more than that - different than that?
Also, he said you need to wear headphones to get the proper effect.
Is that true?
I find them annoying and would prefer to have a speaker next to my bed instead.

Thanks

if you find them annoying then do what best suits you.

they balance your brain hemispheres. much more than back ground noise will do.

try it yourself, everyone experiences them different. just focus on the sounds alone and relax. allow your mind to only focus on the sound and your body and spirit will experience possibilities.

i prefer no words with mine.

I'll try during the day with headphones first.

Thanks

I use the chakra activation and healing music...its 70 mins long and it works for me...once i focus on my breathing and listen to the music..i see waves of purples and i love it.

I have no exprwith Delta waves, but yes with theta/alpha stimulation. I enjoy it
I would recommend Kelly Howell's stuff on YouTube
