The difference between the two frequencies is perceived as one frequency by the brain.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if this woman was listening to a frequency of 530 Hz in her right ear and 520 Hz in her left, her brain would hear a frequency of 10 Hz, or the difference between the two.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, that's the simple version, but why make it complicated? I prefer to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingheroes.com\/5-ways-that-minimalism-can-jumpstart-your-trading\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">keep things simple<\/a>. If you really want to geek out on the topic, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Binaural_beats\">read this<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, that's all you need to know. Let's move on&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>Does it Actually Work?<\/h2>\n<p>Alright, so your first question is probably going to be:\u00a0does this stuff really work, or is it just a lot of hype? That really depends on who you ask and the results you want.<\/p>\n<p>But there is evidence that it does work. There is also evidence that it doesn't work.<\/p>\n<h3>Studies Showing it Works<\/h3>\n<p>For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingheroes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/binaurals-anxiety-study.pdf\" rel=\"\">this paper<\/a> published in\u00a0Anaesthesia in 2005, shows that listening to binaural beats before an operation lowered the\u00a0number of patients with acute anxiety by about 50%. The report specifically says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Binaural beat audio has the potential to decrease acute pre-operative anxiety significantly.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centerpointe.com\/articles\/articles-research\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">article<\/a> cites several different studies, showing that certain sustained brainwave frequencies have been shown to improve learning, creativity and more. It is\u00a0published by a company that provides binaural beats recordings, so it has to be taken with a grain of salt, but there does seem to be a lot of evidence out there.<\/p>\n<h3>Studies Showing it Doesn't Work<\/h3>\n<p>On the other side of the coin, there are plenty of articles saying that it doesn't work. Just like trading systems, there will always going to be fanatics on both sides of the fence.<\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/skeptoid.com\/episodes\/4147\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">podcast episode<\/a> takes the negative side of the argument. They conclude that binaural beats are nothing more than calming music to listen to.<\/p>\n<h3>So&#8230;Does it Work or Not?<\/h3>\n<p>Whenever there is evidence for both sides, I find it best to just throw everything out and try it for myself. I suggest you do the same.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing is going to work for all people, all the time. So give it an honest shot and find out for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Here is how you can get started&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>The Binaural Beats Meditation Video<\/h2>\n<p>Here is a YouTube video can you can watch. It gives you both audio and video messages to help you reprogram your wealth awareness.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Dlw97AQyswc?rel=0&showinfo=0\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Yes, the reason that this video is free, is because there are a ton of popups in it. You can just ignore them and continue to use it for free.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;or you can purchase the paid version and not have to deal with the popups. Either way, you can give it a try and see how it works for you.<\/p>\n<p>They have several different videos, so if you don't like this one, there may be another one that you like better. I personally bought the\u00a0<em>A Life of Luxury And Travel<\/em> recording.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Just like in trading, there is no one-size-fits all. This may work for you and it may not.<\/p>\n<p>Also, as I mentioned in the beginning, this is just a small part of the puzzle. You have to retrain your thinking and break previous thought patterns that do not suit you. You have to push past previous limitations.<\/p>\n<p>But that is a topic for another post&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Another binaural beats program that I hear a lot about is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingheroes.com\/centerpointe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Holosync<\/a> and that is something that I might try in the future.<\/p>\n<p>People report good results when using those recordings.<\/p>\n<p>You can also get <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingheroes.com\/guided-trading-meditation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">my trading meditation here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Best of luck and I hope this helps!
