Let your waking mind drift off into a calming meditative state. Alpha brainwaves promote calmness, stress reduction, a sense of well being, and relaxation - making these frequencies ideal to listen to for meditation. Other beneficial effects include higher efficiency for learning, mental coordination, and creativity.

Binaural beats require stereo sound directly in each ear, so headphones are required. The frequencies help your brainwaves synchronize best when the volume of the tones are just audible.
