Has anyone else tried using binaural beats or pulses to alter their consciouness, and had success with it? If so, what frequency did you use?
Yes, I used it quite a bit at first - I still have my own custom "program" on my iPod. Every now and then I give it a try. Results? It definitely gets me to sleep quicker.
I don't have the settings I used with me right now, but I'm pretty sure I did the following:
Start out at about 13Hz (which is about where you are when fully aware).
Then, over a period of about half an hour (which is what it usually takes me to fall asleep - on a good night). I drop somewhere down into the upper single digits.
I fiddle with the frequencies for about the next 90 minutes, dropping into the delta and theta ranges for the stage III and IV.
Then, over a span of a few short minutes, I bring it back up to about 10Hz(I think), which is where I want to be during REM - almost, but not quite awake.
I then repeat the process going back to stage II frequecy. The entire mp3 is about 4 hours. I also made another 6 hour mp3, but it is comprised of ambient sounds which I mixed together - no binaural beats. Next step is to combine the two. Been too lazy to do it, though, I sort of lost interest in experimenting. Now I usually play my "To Sleep" playlist which is mostly music.
I will say this, there is a very soothing feeling (almost trance-like) I get when I had occasionally woken up during the very low frequency part of the cycle - so I feel that there is definitely some effect on the mind.
