vmadhuvarshi - I hope you don't mind me coming into this thread a little as it's probably best to keep things tidy in one thread.
Michael,
I have a comment and a little bit of a question that I hope you may be able to shed light on for me.
I've not listened to CD's in the past with meditation, but I've downloaded "Life Flow" and although have simply been using it while I am working around things or on the computer, I did find something in the introduction of it interesting - you gave me a little education on binaural waves.
What struck me about it is this - I'm clinically deaf in one ear (I have roughly 15-20% in one ear, full hearing in the other. We 'think' I was simply born this way due to an infection while in the womb), though you would never know unless I told you. The only side effects I have from it are I can be a little clumsy lol, if in a noisy room I have trouble hearing (and read lips) or if you are behind me - I have no idea of what direction you are coming from. Like I said, unless I tell someone, they have no idea.
That said, you can imagine that it was very interesting for me to read about the binaural waves and especially the comment you made in your " Report on Life Flow":

Those of us with normal hearing may not be as aware of the effect that sound vibrations in the air have on our bodies as a whole, because we focus our attention almost exclusively on those vibrations as they are received through the normal auditory mechanism, but if we tune that out we will often find that we continue to experience the sense of "sound" through our body as a whole.

This for me is very true as I tend to hear things other people don't and feel some sound as vibrations through the body as a result of the hearing.
I have a question on this though - due to binaural waves requiring both ears, I assume, and possibly wrongly so, that I may not be able to achieve the same benefits from those as someone who had full hearing in both ears would. Should I try the headphones regardless of this? Does it work on hearing or simply vibration?
