Listening to relaxing music with embedded theta binaural beats can be a useful and pleasurable way to foster a peaceful and balanced state of mind and alleviate stress. When the brain itself generates a high level of theta waves, we often feel calm and relaxed, which helps to diminish stress and anxiety.

The brain produces very small rhythmic electrical pulses which are called brainwave patterns. These patterns can be observed using electroencephalograph (EEG) scanning equipment. Brainwaves are measured in cycles per second (Hz) and are produced by different areas of the brain throughout the day and night.
