00:00:01 --> 00:00:05 Tune in for a primer on a fabulous tool for sleep,

00:00:05 --> 00:00:06 cognition,

00:00:06 --> 00:00:07 learning,

00:00:07 --> 00:00:08 and relaxation.

00:00:08 --> 00:00:12 Hello,

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14 and welcome to Momo 634,

00:00:14 --> 00:00:20 the daily podcast chock full of faith-filled inspiration and motivation.

00:00:23 --> 00:00:28 Momo 634, motivational moments just for today.

00:00:43 --> 00:00:46 Sixties kids like me will readily recognize our title,

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49 taken from an oldie from Sonny and Cher.

00:00:50 --> 00:00:50 However,

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53 it's meant to remind us of our last episode,

00:00:53 --> 00:00:56 in which I mentioned binaural beats,

00:00:56 --> 00:00:59 something I found to be tremendously helpful for sleep.

00:01:00 --> 00:01:03 I linked my sleep playlist there for you,

00:01:03 --> 00:01:06 and we'll link that episode again here,

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08 underneath this episode at momo634.com.

00:01:11 --> 00:01:15 but binaural beats also assist with other things.

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18 What exactly are binaural beats?

00:01:19 --> 00:01:23 A simple web search tells us that they are tones of slightly

00:01:23 --> 00:01:24 differing frequencies

00:01:25 --> 00:01:29 played in each ear via the use of headphones so that your brain

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31 hears a third tone,

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33 the difference between the two tones.

00:01:34 --> 00:01:40 There are alpha, beta, delta, gamma, and theta binaural beats.

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43 My reference material explained it this way,

00:01:44 --> 00:01:47 which I found to be extremely helpful and simplified.

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51 If you listen to a 440 Hz tone in your left ear and a 445 Hz

00:01:52 --> 00:01:53 tone in your right ear,

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55 your brain perceives a beat frequency of 5 Hz,

00:01:55 --> 00:01:56 the difference between 445 Hz and 440 Hz.

00:02:07 --> 00:02:14 This 5 Hz beat is the binaural beat, and it can influence brain waves.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17 With that as our working definition,

00:02:17 --> 00:02:21 here's a breakdown of the different beats and their specific

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23 spheres of brain wave influence.

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25 Alpha, 8 to 14 Hz.

00:02:27 --> 00:02:30 This binaural beat helps with relaxation,

00:02:30 --> 00:02:31 focus,

00:02:31 --> 00:02:32 stress reduction,

00:02:32 --> 00:02:34 and positivity in thinking.

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37 It's excellent to use when studying.

00:02:39 --> 00:02:42 Beta, 14 to 30 hertz.

00:02:42 --> 00:02:45 This beat is associated with more active thinking,

00:02:46 --> 00:02:47 problem solving,

00:02:47 --> 00:02:48 and alertness.

00:02:49 --> 00:02:53 It's helpful for tasks that require concentration and increased

00:02:53 --> 00:02:54 cognitive function.

00:02:56 --> 00:02:58 Delta, 1 to 4 hertz.

00:02:59 --> 00:03:02 This binaural beat is probably my favorite.

00:03:02 --> 00:03:06 It's linked to deep sleep and pain relief.

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10 Gamma, 30 to 100 hertz.

00:03:11 --> 00:03:15 This binaural beat is associated with higher mental activity,

00:03:15 --> 00:03:16 problem solving,

00:03:17 --> 00:03:17 learning,

00:03:17 --> 00:03:18 and memory.

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21 It's also great for peak cognitive functioning.

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25 Theta, 4 to 8 hertz.

00:03:26 --> 00:03:30 This binaural beat is helpful for deep relaxation and creativity.

00:03:31 --> 00:03:35 I found this to be a fascinating study, and I hope you did too.

00:03:36 --> 00:03:40 It gave me such a deeper appreciation for the intelligent

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42 designer behind our

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43 intelligent design.

00:03:46 --> 00:03:50 Today's Momoism says we are God's complex creation.

00:03:50 --> 00:03:51 Rejoice!
