I have used binaural beats in the past and currently.
IN the past when I had all my hearing (although I am 42 years old I have left ear hearing loss due to Meniere's Disease) the binaural beats enabled easier faster muscle relaxation and also propagation of the 'vibrations' necessary to go out of body.
Now that I am older, I use them on speakers instead and they dont work as well but they do definitely put your brain in a calmer state. You have to be receptive though its not a catch all band aid guarantee.
It's essentially a helper to just relaxing yourself, by yourself .
I do 40 mins of asana, in 'god ' posture, back straight in chair not moving. Thats the goal currently. sometimes i move once or twice. end goal is 60 mins . The pattern I notice and others in my Order (Thelemic order) is that at minute 30 is essentially the minimum mediation time you need for the brain to shut off.
Heres my personal observation
Min 0 to 15 monkey-chatter. let it play out. It slowly dissipates
15-25 or so physical deeper relaxation, or annoyance, depending.
25-35 brain turns off. total calm quiet state. sometimes 'no me' no ego no self no time even.
35-45+ no body no mind. flashes of insight/ precognition /travel come.
