Exploring Binaural Beats in Hypnotherapy: A Simple Guide for Home Use
In recent years, technology has blended beautifully with wellness practices, bringing exciting new tools to therapies like hypnotherapy. One such tool that’s gained a lot of attention is binaural beats. These unique sound experiences are being used to help reduce stress, boost focus, and support relaxation—all from the comfort of your own home, with just a pair of headphones.
What Are Binaural Beats?
Let’s start with the basics. Binaural beats are a fascinating sound phenomenon that happens when two slightly different frequencies are played in each ear. Your brain doesn’t just hear two tones—it processes them together, creating a third “beat” that only exists in your mind. This isn’t as complicated as it sounds; think of it as a gentle, rhythmic pulse that can guide your brain into different states of relaxation or focus.
How Do Binaural Beats Work?
Here’s where the magic (and a bit of science) happens. Our brains naturally produce different patterns of electrical activity, called brainwaves. These waves change depending on what we’re doing—whether we’re alert and focused, feeling calm, or deeply asleep. Binaural beats seem to “sync up” with these brainwaves, encouraging your mind to settle into a specific state.
For example:
-
Beta Waves are linked to concentration and alertness.
-
Alpha Waves are associated with relaxation and calm focus.
-
Theta Waves often occur during meditation or light sleep.
-
Delta Waves are the slowest and happen in deep, restorative sleep.
The track you will download here is a Theta wave track that was specially commisioned by ROOT therapy for use in between sessions and whenever you need to soothe yourself.
​
By listening to binaural beats, you may find it easier to drift into these states naturally, making them an excellent tool for hypnotherapy sessions.

Using Binaural Beats at Home
If you’re listening at home, try this:
-
Find a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed.
-
Use headphones to ensure each ear receives the correct frequency.
-
Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and let the beats guide your mind.
​
You don’t need to do anything else—just relax and allow the sounds to do their work. Over time, you may notice how much easier it becomes to settle into a calm and focused state.

From a therapuetic point of view if you can try and listen to this track prior to our sessions together that would be great as your brain will start to get use to the sound we will be using in session and associate that with relaxation
