Now this is gonna sound odd so please stick with me here

ok, so I know that the bwg is there to affect the mind state. But what I wanted to know is - how do we treat the bwg when listening to it?

Do I listen to and focus on the binaural tones?
Do I focus away from the tones and just let them do their stuff?


The reason I ask is because if I focus myself on the tones they kinda hypnotise me but divert me also in that there is a whole host of auditory phenomenon going on around them, e.g. voices, chanting, shouting. And this, although entertaining and pleasant, is preventing me from clearing away activity and getting constant.

So: how do we treat the tones? Where do they fit in with our practice?

I hope this makes sense
