Hey folks, sorry it's been so long. Been working hard and only just made it back. Big THANKS to jeffdengr, Unis, Alex & Alan for all that fantastic info - it was perfect - interesting, relevant, and much more help than I ever expected to get.
Right now I'm looking at this from a self-helpy angle... working on beliefs and habits... where the ideal state would be theta, right?
But it seems that binaurals are not any quicker in getting you down there than conventional hypnosis. The brainwaves must take a while to respond to the tones I guess. I mean if an induction can get you down in 5 - 10 (even quicker with an pre-installed anchor) it would seem a better (or at least easier, lol) option to me. Or are binaurals more reliable / mechanical... say if I wanted to definitely hit theta at a certain time?
Btw, why is it good to "spike" the theta with an alpha? And is that just a short blast of the alpha one in the middle, or does it need to be slid up and down again?
I think that you can use binaurals with other music on top... is there a point where that starts to get in the way or decrease the effect?
And finally, what is your (anyone!) vibe on using a binaural program overlapped with affirmations - in conjunction with self hypnosis?
I realise that a lot of it is down to individual differences... I'm just hoping to shortcut some of the stuff that others have tried & tested.
Cheers!
