anyone try binaural beats and isochronic tones for meditation?

I've been fighting some sad feelings lately, so I was going to listen to some Tibetan monk chants on the computer. I came across meditation music that contained binaural beats and isochronic tones. I listened and within seconds I was feeling calmer. Has anyone else tried this kind of meditation before?

And it had the added feature of little bird songs here and there, unless I imagined them!

It reminds me of other meditative recordings I have, mostly natural sounds like surf, wind, or rain.

Each has the elements of rhythm and repetition and notes of highlight sounds, like a seagull or foghorn, or a crack of lighting or animal calls.

Cool, thank you for introducing me to a new genre!

I need to get back into them as there's some good techniques later in the series for upper levels of energy realms.

I don't know if it contains isochronic tones, though, just the binaural beats. TMI has done decades of research into them, and are continually honing and discovering new combinations.

A site that offers a good downloaded program called resonance. It takes a little while to learn how to use it, but it is free and adjustable

There's so many to choose from on YT. This one is nice:

The Schumann resonance is the pulse of the magnetic field of the earth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schumann... Isochronic tones are a form of brainwave entrainment that does not require headphones to enjoy.
