    Binaural Beats MP3 for Improving Extra-Sensory Perception – Review

    Are you looking for an inexpensive product that will help you with your intuitive development? (& one that doesn’t involve much of a time commitment!?)

    In this article I review one that I have found.

    This product I am reviewing here is an audio product that I’ve used almost every day since I discovered it several years ago – a Binaural Beats mp3 for Extra-Sensory Perception.

    Unlike most products and courses, this is a product that you only need listen to, in order to feel the effects on your intuitive abilities, as “too good to be true” as that may sound!

    In this article, I’m, going to talk about how exactly binaural beats have amplified and improved my intuitive abilities in the last few months, so that you can decide whether they could help you too in your intuitive development.

    What are Binaural Beats?

    Binaural Beats are rhythmic humming sounds that are created by playing two simple tones in the right and left ears. They are sold online as mp3’s.  They don’t just include humming.  In order to make them nicer to listen to, they also have water and nature sounds on them, plus some music.  And you have to listen to them using headphones.  These beats have been proven to alter brainwave frequencies, resulting in an altered state of consciousness.

    This state of consciousness is called the alpha state.

    What is the Alpha State?

    For certain states of consciousness and activities, certain brain waves occur.

    Alpha is the brain wave that occurs during light sleep, dreams, meditation, daydreams and creative visualization.

    It’s the state you need to be in, in order to receive intuitive information.

    Being in the Alpha State is like being in a light trance – you notice what is going on around you, but your usually busy mind is extremely quiet. You become a clear conduit for intuitive information.  If you’ve had a reading with an intuitive on the phone or in person, they will have been in this alpha state while talking to you.

    The thing is, we all have intuitive guidance available to us, when we can quiet our minds and put ourselves in the alpha state.  But most people don’t know they need to be in the alpha state to receive it.  And most people certainly don’t know how to put themselves in the alpha state at will. And so we may only get glimpses of intuition here and there, and our intuitive skills seem to work sometimes, but not at other times.

    That is because we spend most of our waking time in a state that is not conducive to receiving intuitive information – the beta state.

    Beta is the brain wave that occurs when you are fully conscious and awake.  You are concentrating and your brain is engaged and busy, busy, busy in this state.  You cannot receive intuitive information in this state, although you may have already tried and failed.

    So, quite simply, unless you can quieten your mind and put yourself into the Alpha state, you don’t receive intuitive information when you want it.

    I used to think that intuitives were born gifted, or special. But now I know that they are just people who have learned to put themselves into this altered state of consciousness at will and have done some experimenting with processes while in the alpha state.  I know that, because I am one of them.

    How They Work

    This Extra-Sensory Perception mp3 guarantees to put you in a peaceful meditative state, sometimes within just 5 minutes of listening to it. And you can even let your mind wander while listening – you don’t need to try to quieten your mind, because the mp3 does it for you automatically.   And if you listen to it regularly, it trains your brainwaves to be able to enter that state quickly and easily in future.  It effectively fast-tracks your intuitive development.

    Another way to fast-track your intuitive development is to learn to meditate.  If you can do it regularly and consistently, it will put you in the alpha state too.  That is why meditation is frequently recommended for intuitive development – and rightly so.

    But the thing is, I never really got that far with meditation.  Meditation is one of my least favourite things to do. And I know a lot of people who feel the same about it.

    I had real trouble quietening my thoughts for ten seconds, let alone a whole minute.  My mind would bang on about anything – how I was hungry, thirsty, too hot, too cold, wondered about what I would have for dinner, remarked on how loud the road works are. I am someone who needs to be moving.  I have a lot of nervous energy.  Meditation was like torture to me.  I did the absolute minimum meditation before readings – just enough to enter the alpha state.

    I didn’t know how much my undisciplined mind was holding me back in my intuitive development until I started using this mp3, which I discovered by accident.

    How I Stumbled Upon Binaural Beats

    I first discovered them, via my friend and hypnotherapist Angela who sent me a hypnosis mp3 to help me sleep.  Firstly, she sent a hypnosis mp3 with her simply talking.  I listened to it a few times but it was just like my meditations – it was hard to get my mind to shut up and pay attention.  So, I wasn’t sure I was being hypnotized.

    Then a few days later, she sent me an updated version of the hypnosis – an mp3 to help me to sleep with some binaural beats on it.  When I listened to this mp3, I noticed the difference straight away.  It was like it was speaking to a whole different part of me – that was present, and listening.  I was hypnotized. While listening, I realized that I was in the same state that I’m in when I do readings, and it had happened within a matter of minutes. And I didn’t have to meditate to get there – hurray!

    So, I was not surprised when I found out that binaural beats don’t just help you to sleep, they are also used to awaken and improve extra-sensory perception and intuition.  I ordered one of these specialized ESP MP3’s from the Unexplainable Store to check it out.

    I used it for two weeks, once a day for about thirty minutes and here are some of my experiences while listening to it:

    • My mind’s eye (the centre of clairvoyance) began to run riot while I was listening
    • I spontaneously had vivid meetings with my Spirit Guides – without even trying.
    • My chakras opened up spontaneously and I felt tingling in various places on my body.
    • Any stressful thoughts and anxiety drifted away and my thoughts, in general, were silenced.
    • While listening, I spontaneously received a variety of intuitive insights and epiphanies about my life.

    Those are just a few of the general experiences I have had. This sort of thing happens every time I listen.  It’s not hit and miss. My students report similar results and I have read that these experiences are par for the course while listening to the mp3. I like inducing experiences like these on a daily basis – It makes me feel more connected to my guides and spirit.

    I also believe that my readings have improved as a result of listening to binaural beats.  Whereas before it would take me a long time to calm my mind before a reading, now I can do it quickly and it’s not difficult for me anymore.

    Why listening to Binaural Beats is more fun than meditation

    The thing I love about listening to this mp3 is that it is extremely pleasurable – the first time I used them, I put an update on my Facebook account saying that it was ‘better than sex!’

    That might sound strange but it is very enjoyable.  It’s so far from the chore that meditation was.

    Other Uses for Binaural Beats

    I mentioned binaural beats on my blog a few weeks ago, and since then, several readers and clients have told me that they also use binaural beats for anxiety and stress relief (I can vouch for that as I always emerge from a binaural beats session feeling lighter and in a better mood).  I also know people who use them to help them have lucid dreams.

    Are Binaural Beats Right for You?

    So, in summary, the mp3 may be right for you if:

    • You are interested in awakening your intuitive abilities.
    • You want to strengthen your already existing intuitive abilities.
    • You want to learn to meditate but find it hard to relax or quieten your mind.
    • You do intuitive readings but find that your mind can sometimes get in the way of connecting with people’s Spirit Guides.

    Please note that this ESP binaural beats MP3 is not right for you if you are looking for a quick magic bullet for awakening intuitive abilities, permanently. Nothing will do that for you.  You will have to do other work too.

    The ESP binaural beats mp3 will definitely train you to be in the alpha state, which is an essential component of receiving intuitive information.  But remember that that is one essential part of awakening intuitive ability – it’s not the whole process.

    Effective intuitive development = the alpha state + finding the right process for you, and practising it too.

    The mp3 that I have used and recommend was from the Unexplainable Store. It cost $14 (US dollars) and they have a 60-day money-back guarantee in case you don’t like it. These recordings are also better sound quality than many of the other binaural beats that I know of which are sold online.

    You can order the MP3 that I tried here – Extra-Sensory Perception Binaural Beats MP3.

    If you buy the mp3, I hope you enjoy listening to them like I have.

    PS. The name of the mp3 I bought (& recommend) from the Unexplainable Store is the “ESP/ Psychic Binaural Beat” mp3.

  • The Alpha State – Why Is It Essential to Psychic Development?

    The Alpha State – Why Is It Essential to Psychic Development?

    There are four types of brain wave that can occur while you’re thinking, sleeping, dreaming, concentrating and doing what you do – those brain waves are called beta, alpha, theta, and delta.

    Let’s take a look at the brain wave states that occur with different activities and states of consciousness:

    brain wave chart

    Beta is the brain wave that’s present for your normal waking state and all the busy-ness that happens during this state. Most of us are in beta (fully conscious/awake/concentrating) throughout the day. But note that you cannot usually receive psychic insights or intuitive guidance in a beta state. That’s the state where your conscious mind is fully engaged and operative and everything is busy, busy, busy.

    You need to be in an alpha state (at the least) to receive psychic information.

    Before I begin a reading, I always take myself down to an alpha state through meditation and visualization. I don’t call it ‘putting myself in an alpha state’, but if I remain in beta (with my conscious mind engaged), I can’t read for someone – quite simply – I can’t connect with someone’s Spirit Guides in that state. If I tried, I wouldn’t get any information.

    It would be like being tuned into the wrong radio station. I’m trying to connect to the frequency your guides are at (alpha) – the equivalent of some far away, long-wave radio station, set on an island somewhere. But all I can hear is my mind chattering about anything and everything (in beta) – the equivalent of some rubbish local breakfast show with lots of adverts and small talk: “What shall I have for dinner tonight? Oh, it’s raining, someone needs to bring the washing in!”, “Hmm, my eczema’s really itchy today” etc, etc.

    Likewise, if you’re trying to hear your own guides, you may just hear thoughts. You’re just listening to yourself. It’s because you’re in beta.

    How to Take Yourself Down to the Alpha State

    If you’re not used to doing this at will, you will probably need to practise. I’ve done thousands of readings now and I have to sit down and put myself in this state – every time.

    Here are some ways to put yourself in the alpha state:

    1. Meditation

    Here’s how:

    Choose a quiet place to meditate and sit in a comfortable position. You can sit in a traditional cross-legged posture or you can sit in a chair. Make sure your back is straight – this helps to prevent your mind from becoming sleepy. I don’t recommend that you lie down to meditate as you can fall asleep while you’re doing it.

    Sit with your eyes closed and turn your attention to your breathing. Breathe through the nostrils, without trying to control your breath, just notice the sensation of the air going in and out of your nostrils. Focus on this sensation. As you’re doing this, your thoughts will continue to arise, but bring your attention back to your breath.

    A lot of intuitives make meditation a part of their spiritual practice – mostly because it trains the mind to relax at will and enter the alpha state. It’s a hard skill to develop, but it’s worth it.

    What if you find meditation really hard?

    If you don’t like regular meditation, try guided visualization to put you in the alpha state.

    Visualize what you want to happen tomorrow. Visualize meeting your spirit guides.

    I like to visualize going down a staircase to visit my guides in a garden. Sometimes I imagine meeting them on a mountain top or a beach.

    Even if you’re the one doing the visualizing and it’s not really your spirit guides, it doesn’t matter. Allow yourself to daydream – it’s good for your psychic development!

    When you daydream and visualize and imagine, you’re in the alpha state. The more often you can put yourself in that state, the easier it is to do it next time you want to connect with your spirit guides at will. And the next time, they might actually show up because you can access them at the frequency of alpha.

    2. Binaural Beats

    Another recent discovery of mine that helps me to be in the alpha state is binaural beats. I first discovered this via a friend who put me together a hypnosis mp3 to help me sleep. Firstly, she sent a hypnosis mp3 with her talking. I listened to it a few times but it was hard to get my mind to shut up and pay attention. I wasn’t sure I was being hypnotized.

    Then a few days later, she sent me an updated version of the hypnosis, with binaural beats in the background. When I listened to this mp3, straight away it was like it was speaking to a whole different part of me – that was present, and listening. I was hypnotized.

    Once I saw what binaural beats could do, I decided to order an Extra-Sensory Perception Binaural Beats mp3 with the aim of training myself to reach the alpha state more easily and quickly. So far, I have found it a really helpful tool for training myself to bypass my very busy and chatty mind and put me in a state where I can quickly access spiritual guidance. So much so that I plan on using it to replace my meditation that I do in the morning before readings.
