FAQ

There’s no required dose. Most people find 10 to 30 minutes enough, and many use a track as background while falling asleep. Listen when you want to, stop when you’ve had enough — a schedule turns it into a chore, which defeats the point.

No. You can sit with it, lie down, breathe slowly, or simply have it on. If you want a structure, a longer exhale than inhale — roughly four in, six out — is the simplest and best-supported thing you can add.

Yes, with two practical limits: keep the volume moderate, because prolonged loud listening damages hearing, and don’t listen while driving, cycling or operating machinery — several of these tracks are designed to make you drowsy.

They’re the tuning references used in the sound-healing tradition — 396 Hz, 528 Hz, the solfeggio set, and so on — where each tone is associated with a particular chakra or theme. That association is traditional and symbolic. It is not a measured physical effect, and we don’t present it as one.

Here’s the honest version. Music and binaural beats do have measurable effects: controlled studies report reduced anxiety, lower perceived pain and changes in EEG activity during listening. Those studies are mostly small and varied, and the effects are short-term. So music can reliably help you relax, sleep and settle — which is genuinely worth something.

What it does not do is treat, cure or prevent illness. No frequency repairs an organ, rebalances a body or fixes a condition. Anyone selling you that is selling you something. If you’re unwell, see a doctor — and use the music alongside proper care, not instead of it.

They belong to spiritual and cultural traditions with long histories, and they’re a useful way of talking about states — tension, openness, exhaustion, ease. There is no scientific evidence for a physical energy centre or a visible energy field, and we say so plainly in every article rather than blurring the line.

In the tradition, you work backwards from what you notice: throat for things unsaid, heart for grief or closed-off-ness, solar plexus for confidence, root for feeling unsafe. Treat it as a way of naming a feeling, not a diagnosis. Persistent physical symptoms belong with a doctor.

No. Paid “curse removal” and “attachment clearing” is a well-documented scam, and it targets people who are already frightened. Nothing on this site requires a paid practitioner, and we don’t accept advertising from them.

No — that’s what minds do. The practice isn’t emptying your head, it’s noticing you’ve drifted and coming back. The noticing is the repetition. A session full of drifting and returning is a good session.

For most people, yes. But some people experience anxiety, dizziness, dissociation or intrusive memories during intensive practice. If you live with a seizure disorder, a psychotic or dissociative condition, severe anxiety or PTSD, or you’re pregnant, talk to a professional before starting. Stop and get advice if a practice consistently makes you feel worse.

Usually within a single session you’ll notice your shoulders drop and your breathing deepen — that’s the physical part, and it’s immediate. The longer-term effects on attention and reactivity build over weeks of regular practice. Nobody can promise you a particular outcome, and anyone who does is guessing.

Yes. The site is paid for by advertising, and some articles contain affiliate links which are labelled where they appear. That never changes what we publish or what we conclude — see our Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure.
