FREQUENCY FORGE ✦ The magic power of Binaural Beats

What Are Binaural Beats?

Binaural beats are a kind of auditory illusion your brain creates when it hears two slightly different tones, one in each ear.

*Important: Use headphones! Otherwise, your brain won’t create the beat.

For example:  

Left ear: 100 Hz   Right ear: 105 Hz

→ Your brain hears: 5 Hz (a soft, inner beat)

This beat doesn’t exist outside you , it’s a brain-generated rhythm…

l. A bit of history...

Discovered in 1839 by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove, it stayed a quiet curiosity until 1973, when Scientific American published “Auditory Beats in the Brain”. Researchers then began exploring its impact on focus, sleep, creativity, and emotional regulation.

Since then, we’ve explored its effects in many ways from students using it to focus, to people seeking better sleep, meditation, or creative flow. Many, including those with ADHD, say it helps them feel calmer, more centered, and focused. Science continues to study its effects but for many, the lived experience speaks louder than the data. 

ll. Brainwave States, Why They Matter…

Your brain naturally moves through different wave states all day.

Binaural beats can amplify and guide this flow, helping you enter states like deep rest, focus, or expanded awareness.

To truly align to the waves, your brain usually needs 7 to 8 minutes of listening.

*Note: Other sound frequencies, like Solfeggio tones also hold fascinating properties...(we’ll explore them soon in The Frequency Forge.)

✶Tip: You can listen to the pure tone, or add a gentle music on top, or nature sounds etc if you want something more easy to listen to..

⟁Tune in with the gift of vibration ⟁

Here is my playlist of binaural beats short and long journeys I composed to help your brain settle, focus, dream, or open. Each track supports a different brainwave state: calm, focus, creativity, or deep trance.

 How to Use:

✦ Wear headphones (Very important if you want to feel the benefit of binaural beats)

✦ Set an intention or create a mental/ritual space

✦ Choose your state (calm, creative or trance)

✦ Let go, receive the sound

✦ Repeat over time for deeper effects.

My personal intakes…

Vibrations are a gift from Earth and even the whole universe, into stillness, vision and fire it is all around us, and resonates freely. They help us forge our freedom, reach a more peaceful place when we need and spark our joy. I am so grateful to be able to listen, play, and feel music and hope that could resonate with you too.
