BINAURAL SOUND MEDITATION
Upstairs main studio, OXYGENIC, Whitley Bay
This meditation experience is designed for people who want to try meditation but struggle to switch off their thinking mind.
Rather than trying to clear your thoughts or sit in silence, you are guided by sound.
The layers of binaural tones give your mind something to follow, making it easier to settle without effort.
These curated sound journeys come from years of experience of working with sound, meditation and altered states of consciousness and are designed to relax your nervous system, create calm and offer an easier way into meditation, especially for those who have struggled with meditation before.
You lie on a mat, covered in a blanket, with headphones placed gently over your ears. The room is quiet. The light is low. The sound begins.
As the sound deepens, your mind begins to naturally soften. There is nothing to do and nothing to get right. Your body begins to settle, and your nervous system follows.
This is a simple, accessible way into meditation, especially if you’ve found it difficult before.
Over time, it becomes easier to return to this place.
To swim below the constant commentary.
To experience another way of being.
Everything is provided. Simply arrive and allow yourself to go beneath the surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this for?
This experience is open to anyone who would like to experience meditation in a more accessible way and the many benefits it can bring.
It is also for those who have tried meditation before but struggle to reach sustained depth, or whose minds feel busy or overwhelmed and are looking for another way to settle.
Many people come to these sessions to explore ways of calming their nervous system, or to access different states of awareness for creativity, clarity or insight.
Whereas more experienced meditators appreciate the space we have created and how it can help them experience depth through a different sensory pathway.
Why would I choose this over a traditional meditation class?
Traditional meditation often relies on silence, breath control or sustained concentration. For some people, that works beautifully. For others, the mind continues to race.
Our meditation sessions offer a different way in. Instead of trying to quiet the mind through effort, here you experience a sound and sensory practice so your mind can naturally find a relaxed and different way to settle.
Many people find this form of meditation incredibly easy to relax into, with benefits that last far beyond the session in the studio with us.
Will this help with anxiety?
Many people come to the studio for this form of meditation because their minds feel busy or overwhelmed and using our curated sound scape meditations can make it easier to settle. Research also states that the forms of mediation we offer here can create measurable shifts toward brainwave patterns associated with relaxed and meditative states, and reductions in anxiety.
Can it help with sleep?
The slower states accessed in binaural meditation are similar to those we move through before sleep. With many people reporting they feel more deeply rested and able to sleep much better with continued sessions.
Can it enhance creativity or focus?
Alpha and theta brainwave activity, often observed during binaural meditation, are associated with relaxed attention and creative insight. Many participants leave feeling clearer, lighter or more creatively open.
How does this affect the nervous system?
Slow, steady sensory rhythm is known to support parasympathetic activation, the branch of the nervous system associated with rest, regulation and repair. Immersive sound provides a consistent structure the body can settle into, helping shift from heightened alertness toward a calmer internal rhythm.
Many people describe feeling more regulated, grounded and internally refreshed after sessions.
Does this support the vagus nerve?
The vagus nerve plays a central role in how we regulate stress, heart rate and emotional response. Practices that encourage slow breathing, deep rest and sustained attention are associated with healthy vagal tone. Structured sound meditation can help create the conditions in which this regulatory system functions more smoothly.
Do I need meditation experience?
No. In fact, many people who struggle with other forms of meditation find this easier. The sound gives our mind something steady to rest against. Experienced meditators often report reaching deeper states more quickly.
What if I fall asleep?
It happens. The body sometimes takes the rest it needs. Even if you drift in and out, the sound continues to carry the experience.
Will I lose control or feel strange?
No. You remain aware throughout. This is not hypnosis. You are guided into deeper states of relaxation and attention, but you are always in control of your experience.
Is it safe?
For most people, this work is experienced as deeply calming. If you have epilepsy or a neurological condition, it’s advisable to seek medical guidance before attending.
