J.S. Epperson has been creating healing music enhanced with binaural beats since 1991. After listening to the guided imagery “Meditation Made Simple”, Robert Monroe contacted Epperson about using the music for “Going Home”, a program developed by Robert Monroe, Dr. Elisebeth Kübler-Ross and Dr. Charles Tart. Epperson has since created ten popular Hemi-Sync® Meta-Music® recordings for the Monroe Institute. His collaboration with Barbara Bullard resulted in several projects that pioneered the use of beta frequencies to enhance focus and concentration, including the best selling albums “Remembrance” and “Einstein’s Dream”. Other notable projects include the Surround Sound meditation DVDs “Blossoming Lotus” and “lightSOURCE: A Sacred Geometry Experience”, the later of which was named “Product of The Year” by INATS.
In addition to continuing his work with the Monroe Institute, Epperson launched his own record label in 2009 to bring music enhanced with binaural beats to a new audience. Epperson’s work also appears in television, film and video games.
Epperson currently lives in Seattle, where continues to create music for a number of clients. He also serves as an officer on the board of directors for Redwood Theatre.

One of my favorite CDs to listen to while doing homework. I used it to help me get through my college algebra classes.
Thanks for this one! I love the Milk City song, could’ve been longer though :(
I cannot hear my track Dizzy in the podcast?
Barbara Bullard gives an amazing interview on Music, J.S. Epperson and learning.
You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
I’m so glad I stumbled upon your post. I agree that Hemisync is by far the most effective method to induce different states of consciousness. I do have two questions which need some clarifying. I hope you can help me out.
Firstly, I came down with a high fever while listening to the Hemi-Sync CDs. Bear in mind that I was trying to cram every CD into 1 week, so I was listening to it 6-8 hours a day. I felt so spaced out for the whole week. What might be causing this?
Secondly, if I burn the CDs into my mp3 player, just for the purpose of being able to have access to them wherever I go, will this distort the frequencies? Thanks
I know of no reason that binaural beat frequencies like Hemi-Sync® would cause fever. I am no doctor, but my guess is that maybe your immune system responded to the enhanced relaxation state as an opportunity to heal. Your experience is rare, to say the least.
Most people experience a physical response when listening to Hemi-Sync® and many feel a little spacey, light headed or expanded after a long term exposure to binaural beats. That’s normal, expected even. I have attended a few programs at the Monroe Institute and those are intense: although there are breaks, we spend 8 – 10 hours a day listening to binaural beats and with no problems.
As for your second question, that topic deserves a longer post, but until I write one, suffice to say that there is a good chance that creating CDs from MP3s will maintain the fidelity needed to perceive the binaural beat frequencies.
I was shocked to read that the actual binaural part of the audio signal is LESS THAN 0.5% of the total audio signal. You can decode binaural mp3 tracks with a program called BAVSA, which lists carrier frequency, binaural beat, and the percentage of the total signal it comprises every 10 seconds over a specified range of frequencies. Monroe Institute is all less than 0.5%, so everything one hears is soundtrack, not binaural. The earphones or earbuds or separated speakers are necessary for the brain to create the following tone. Apparently it does not have to be loud to be effective.
DeltaDream has completely transformed my dream time. My dreams have increased along with my dream recall. DeltaDream it’s amazing
Nice posting. Do you know about these chakra books?

Hi.
Delurking!
Thanks for posting this!
I’m one of those people who practiced TM, strayed, discovered binaural beats quite recently, got really enthousiastic, strayed again…
A busy life gets in the way every time. But if this doesn’t motivate me to get back to regular meditation practice, nothing will :)
Great blog!!! Very informative and Insightful. Excellent!!!
I’ve had two people contact me on Twitter letting me know that it is probably Chinese. Cool!
