Best tunes/beats?

[AstralJames]

I've been told that starting out with AP, I should listen to some isochronic tunes or beats to help. Which ones have you guys found to help the best? There are many frequencies and what not; it confuses me. Also, completely off topic but what does NPR mean on these forums?

Non physical reality.

I like to use that term a lot because you don't have to get specific as to what type of non physical reality experience it is. Hang around with us for a bit and you'll find we're familiar with many forms of NPR.  

Actually, coming from someone who's been there and done that for the past five years, I'll give you insight on my own personal experiences.

I have used binaural beats and isochronic tones almost every day for years now, and here's what I've gathered:

1. I have never felt intoxicated or elevated to a point where I'd call it a "high" 2. Usually, most it will do is relax me. 3. Many people find they're more effective when in deep meditation. But, if you're in deep meditation, you're just going to cancel a lot of things out around you 4. I don't know what goes on with my brain waves. I know that when I listen to a binaural beat, it will make me tired or will excite me for a good minute. The excitement is paralleled to a cup of coffee to perk me up and the mellowing out is compared to taking a valerian or st. john's wort. Very subtle. All in all, all on their own, they will not produce mind blowing, earth shattering results. I wouldn't go into this expecting that. After all, we already produce these brain waves: Theta, alpha, delta, beta. Listening to them isn't going to make us spontaneously OBE.  

I guess what I'm trying to tell you is to master meditation, first. If they aid you in meditation, then cool. I find that theta waves and mantra chanting (especially of OM) will relax me and will mellow me out, extremely. But that's all it's doing. It's going to give you a little push, perhaps, in the right direction, but it won't take you there without most of the effort being on your part.

Also, to answer your question. For me, my favorite tunes are theta and alpha isochronic pulses. I also dabble in the higher hz ranges that are in the 100s. They sound like a loud buzzing but they calm my mind.

Start out with learning to meditate.

Start out with learning to meditate.

i prefer to use visualization methods and turn my mind from junk thoughts factory into the most silent place in the world 
in my opinion it is much faster way to clear mind from thoughts.

That's what meditation is and does. The goal is to find that "silent place".

Meditation can be achieved in many different ways!

i thought that meditation is about just ignoring your thoughts
