How neuroplasticity helps you become calmer
As you listen to meditones, your brain is rewiring itself to be more calm, confident and resilient.
This is because of the science of neuroplasticity.
Years ago, scientists believed that we were born with a fixed number of brain cells that died as we aged.
However, we now know that the brain is constantly changing and adapting to its environment.
Which means your brain has infinite potential for change.
When you use meditones, you expose your brain to calm states of consciousness.
Then your brain adapts to that calm environment, making it easier to become a calmer person more often.
The more you use meditones, the stronger those calm neural pathways become. They physically become thicker through repetition.
Creating calm neural pathways
Imagine your brain as a large field of tall grass. There are a few different pathways across the field.
Some are well-worn paths, others are slightly overgrown, and there are large patches of thick, impenetrable grass. Which path are you going to choose to cross the field?
The easiest solution is to choose the well0worn path.
The same is true for your brain. It loves efficiency. So it’s much easier for the brain to choose a pathway that is thick and strong.
Just like the well-worn path through a field of tall grass, your neural pathways become thicker through repetition.
And the more you form calm neural pathways, the more your brain will choose calm responses instead.
Which means, the more you use meditones, the stronger those calm neural pathways become. Making it easier to become and stay calm naturally.
Understanding brain waves
Before we can talk about how meditones work, we first need to understand brain waves.
Your brain is made up of billions of neurons that use electrical signals to communicate.
When neurons fire together to send signals to other neurons, the resulting patterns are known as brain waves.
Brain waves are measured by their frequency per second, or in Hertz (Hz). And there are four major types of brain waves that range from very slow to very fast.
You produce all of these brain waves at once. But certain brain waves become dominant depending on your activity.
Types of brain waves
Beta Brain Waves (12-30 Hz) - Dominant while you’re awake and actively engaged. Benefits include alert focus and logical thinking.
Alpha Brain Waves (8-12 Hz) - Dominant during day dreaming and relaxation. Benefits include effortless calm and quiet reflection.
Theta Brain Waves (4-8 Hz) - Dominant during REM sleep. Benefits include enhanced creative flow and intuition.
Delta Brain Waves (1-4 Hz) - Dominant during deep, restorative sleep. Benefits include deep healing and regeneration.
Brain waves are measured in Hertz. And sound waves are also measured in Hertz.
Which means we can use sound waves to stimulate brain waves that resonate at the same frequency.
Binaural beats: using sound to create calm brain waves
When two slightly different frequencies of sound combine, they create a humming vibration.
And when you listen to this vibration in headphones? Your brain creates a fascinating auditory perception called binaural beats.
Usually, the brain processes sound in the auditory cortex.
Instead, the whole brain processes binaural beats to create calm brain waves. Like the ones you produce during focus, meditation and sleep.
For example, when you listen to a vibration of 10 Hz, your brain will produce brain waves of 10 Hz or Alpha brain waves. Helping you feel relaxed and blissful. Effortlessly.
How are meditones different to binaural beats?
At Restful, we combine binaural beats with beautiful ambient music, to create meditones.
Because they’re tones that give you the benefits of deep meditation without any of the effort.
Music has long been proven to soothe. Listening to music activates the parasympathetic nervous system and reduces the stress response.
By combining binaural beats with soothing music, meditones are the perfect tool for feeling calm & restful. Anytime, anywhere.
Just like the types of brain waves, we can use types of music & binaural beats to create meditones for any mood. For example:
Alpha meditones help you produce Alpha brain waves for calm focus
Theta meditones help you produce Theta waves to wind down & soothe sensory overwhelm
Delta meditones help you produce Delta brain waves for a deep restful sleep.
Who are meditones good for?
Meditones are good for
- neurodivergent people
- highly sensitive people
- people recovering from trauma,
- people looking for more inclusive meditations, and
- anyone who struggles with mindfulness or traditional meditation.
