Binaural Beats

Tell me all about them -- are they good, bad, dangerous for us?

My first adult encounter was 2025. I was disassociating daily, in a really bad place physically and mentally etc.

Waking up with panic, one night I tried binaural beats. It worked. I was able to go back to sleep.

But something nagged at me. "Is this dangerous?" was the feeling.

But I had that feeling about everything back then.

A quick Google search indicated binaural beats were controversial. Some said they were helpful, while others said they could induce mental health problems.

I asked a group of meditators I was meeting with weekly at the time, and some said they had good outcomes from using binaural beats, while many people had never heard of it..

I have stayed away from them ever since, but now I'm wondering if my GATEway community has some information to share, to enlighten me.

The beats did calm down my panic that one night; so why do I feel such resistance to trying it again?
