our binaural beats actually safe or are there some dangers that you don't know now I'm going
to explain in this video the top dangers and warnings about binaural beats or isochronic
tones or just brainwave entrainment in general and I'm sure you've seen that all over YouTube
okay these binaural beats tracks where they claim to help you induce lucid dreaming or meditation or
any kind of effect that you can imagine and you're probably wondering hold on a second but I know all
beats actually safe or are there any dangers that I need to be concerned about or worried
about now the first thing I want to mention and this is kind of obvious but I will get into the
more advanced and you know more dangerous warnings later on the first one is that as with any sound
wave audio track especially meditation tracks you've got to remember that if you're listening
to this while you're sleeping you have no way once you've fallen asleep you have no way of telling
how loud the track is so you really need to sort of skim through it before you go to sleep to make
sure that there's no like really loud noises or you know maybe there's like a swelling of music
or it gets louder as time goes on because if you're asleep and you're listening to this and
it's really loud you're not able to realize how loud it is and turn it off so you could actually
damage your hearing and this is something that is never spoken about this is one big danger of
binaural beats that most people don't know is that when you're asleep you have no idea how
loud the track is so you need to make sure before you listen to ever it's not too loud or it doesn't
become loud later in the night number two if you have any history or if anyone in your family has
a history with things like epilepsy or seizures or anything like that all heart problems as well
you need to do your research and test it carefully before you really go into it and actually commit
to listening to a track for eight hours while you're sleeping because you could have like the
worst case scenario and it's not very common okay I'll tell you that now but there are some cases of
people who will listen to a binaural beats track and there are about four or five hours into the
track when they're asleep they will have a seizure or they'll have some kind of epileptic fit like I
said this is very rare but this can happen so it would be horrible if you happened to have a
history of epilepsy that you didn't know about or that you someone in your family did and it just
took this one track that you listen to to actually trigger that now there are various ways you can
test for epilepsy I think you can just get a test on at your GP but really you know it depends where
you live so the first thing would be to ask anyone in your family like is there a history of epilepsy
or seizures or things like that in the family and that will give you some indication as to whether
you might be at risk but really you need to play it carefully just take it slowly don't just jump
in and straightaway listen to a nine-hour track if you've not listened to them before just try a
10-minute track when you're wide awake and there's someone around you just in case I know this is
kind of erring on the side of caution here but you don't want to have the worst-case scenario happen
you want to just play it safe at the beginning okay so that's the second danger of binaural
beats now the other danger of binaural beats and this is kind of like an indirect danger is that
if you are for example pregnant breastfeeding or the usual kind of stuff that you wouldn't want to
do something that could influence your judgment or awareness things like operating machinery driving
working you know any kind of thing like that in those cases obviously you don't want to listen to
binaural beats while you're doing that thing if you're pregnant or breastfeeding you want to be
careful because like I said an epileptic seizure at that time could be really damaging to the kid
and so basically just use your kind of common sense to realize when you shouldn't be listening
to buy any or be it's usually if you're moving around okay you should not be listening to them
at that time you should be in a relaxed place where you can't fall over you should be laying
down it should be a calm environment and ideally it should be somebody in the house or in the room
with you just in case for the first time until you realize that you are fine with listening to
by no means but really that is the main dangers of binaural beats to be aware of now you're probably
wondering hold on a second do they actually work and here's my response to that yes they have been
shown to work okay there have been shown to be able to change your brainwave state or raise it
or lower it depending on you know what you're trying to do with them there are binaural beats
that can do anything you can find a binaural beat that will make you more relaxed you can
find one that will help you sleep better and you can find one that will raise your energy and make
you feel more motivated or more energetic or even just more awake so you really need to know what
binaural beat you're listening to and if it's been made properly okay if it's actually been produced
properly by a professional by somebody who knows what they're doing then they will be created for a
specific reason or a specific purpose each binary tract is tuned to a certain frequency and those
frequencies will determine what effects they have on your brain let's say if you listen to one which
is theta that is very different to listening to an alpha by neo b which is mainly about focus and
awareness the theta is more relaxed meditation dreaming lucid dreaming astral projection kind
of vibes so you need to make sure you know what track you're actually listening to don't just
listen to anybody's track let's say for example you're trying to sleep or you have insomnia you
don't want to be listening to like an alpha or a beta bunny or B because that's gonna just keep you
awake for longer that's what it's designed to do so do some kind of research I have other videos
on my channel about binaural beats and how they work and I also will put a link in the description
to the best binaural beats that I know of and it's gonna be a comparison post I've written
a long detailed post comparing the top binaural beats and I know you're probably in a rush so it
does actually you know summarized at the top and bottom the best ones and where to get them but
beyond that just give it a try try things out now one thing I would say the binaural beats you find
on YouTube are not gonna be at that high quality they're not going to be produced properly because
for the most part it's just people experimenting on audacity and these other programs that you can
use to make your own binaural beats it's not gonna be the highest quality on YouTube okay
I'm just saying that straight away now I have actually produced some myself on YouTube and
you can find those in my channel as well just to go into my channel and search by neural but like
I said the quality is nowhere near as good as if you had bought a professional binary
strap or a package or something like that so check out the link in the description and
let me know what you think about buying your beats and how they have had an effect on you
