Here’s a breakdown of the different techniques used throughout the MP3:
- Binaural beats – Binaural beats are when you use two sound waves that are slightly off pitch (by 1-40Hz) to create a “rhythm” effect. This has been scientifically shown to cause your brain waves to sync with the rhythm. This MP3 creates alpha waves (12 Hz) which are often associated with increased attention, focus, and flow states.
- ASMR – ASMR stands for “Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response.” These are auditory stimuli that create “a combination of positive feelings and a distinct static-like tingling sensation on the skin.” Common ASMR sounds included on this MP3 include: ocean waves, whispering, bells, cracking shells, waterfalls, and birds chirping.
- Positive suggestions – Hypnosis and positive suggestions are another thing I’ve explored a lot in the past. This MP3 includes a simple “positive words” mantra where I list off positive-sounding words to help boost positive feelings in your psyche (“Happy,” “Joyful,” “Blissful,” “Transformative,” etc.).
- Tibetan throat singing – Tibetan throat singing can be very therapeutic to listen to. It can often create strong feelings of awe, transcendence, and deep relaxation. This MP3 includes a sample of a Tibetan Buddhist Tantric chanting sometimes referred to as the “Lion’s roar.”
- Solfeggio frequencies – These are very specific frequencies that are said to create different mental states. I used a particular Solfeggio frequency called “Returning to Spiritual Order” which is at 852 Hz. It is said that these frequencies were common in Gregorian chant music.
The “Positive Overflow” MP3 is the only guided meditation that integrates all of these techniques as far as I know. It is strongly recommended that you use headphones to listen to it (this is necessary if you want to hear the “binaural beats”).
You can choose to listen to these MP3s in many different settings, including laying down at home with your eyes closed after a long and stressful day, or while working in the office (assuming you can use headphones at work), or while you do something creative like painting, writing, drawing, etc.
