Sleep Paralysis: Binaural Beats

When I opened a spirituality magazine at Dr. Seaverson’s office yesterday, the first full-page ad was from the Monroe Institute in Virginia and described their “Hemi-Sync” (hemispheric synchronization) music recordings, also called binaural beats. I have loved those for awhile, Sabine introduced me to them in Santa Fe, but I did not know that they are designed to synchronize brain hemispheres.

So last night I found one I liked on the Insight Timer app on my phone, and then another on YouTube Red. I was listening in bed with my earbuds on, and fell into sleep paralysis. Which is not unusual, I have experienced that since childhood, but this time there was no imagery associated with the paralysis. All I saw were flashing lights, mostly blue and white. Electrical currents were mildly shocking my body. It was quite difficult to extricate myself from the paralysis, and even after I had, I could still feel the effect of the electrical waves. I fell immediately into normal sleep, and dreamt all night.

  1. Wow! I will look for that music on the app. Do you have a name I can look up?
