Meditation Tip No. 8: Let Sound Waves Do the Work For You
How it works: For the most low-skill, low-effort form of meditation, download an audio recording of meditative sound waves, called binaural beats. "These are a series of soothing sounds and gongs that activate alpha waves in the brain and literally force you into a state of meditation," explains functional medicine practitioner Dr. Westin Childs, DO.
Play a binaural beats recording, such as OmHarmonics, on low volume through headphones for maximum relaxation and stress relief. "It can be used while laying in bed at night to help with sleep as well," says Childs.
