Sound for meditation.
Theta, NSDR and deep rest.
How sound can support a meditation practice: which beat to use, what theta waves are, and how NSDR and yoga nidra work. Simple steps to start, and what the studies say.
Binaural beats for meditation: which frequency to use and how to start For meditation, most people use a theta beat (4 to 8 Hz) or an alpha beat (8 to 12 Hz) for 10 to 30 minutes, on headphones, at a low volume. NSDR (non sleep deep rest): what it is, how it compares to yoga nidra and how to do it NSDR (non sleep deep rest) is 10 to 30 minutes lying still while a voice guides you through body and breath. A modern, secular cousin of yoga nidra. Theta waves: benefits and how to reach a theta state Theta waves run at 4 to 8 Hz and appear in deep relaxation, meditation and the drift into sleep. Here are the benefits studies support and how to get there.
