# 2hives

> 2hives makes guided meditation and relaxation audio written around you: courses, sleep sessions and live group meditation, with 5 free hours to start. Layered binaural tones and a voice that can say your name.

Sound, written around you.

2hives sessions are guided relaxation and meditation audio. They make no health claims. Practical note: the tone pairs are binaural, so they are best heard in stereo.

## How personalisation works

- Choose a course and session; pick a voice, speed, length and audio settings.
- Add your name (and how to pronounce it); the voice says it.
- Paid sessions: describe what you want and the script is written from your prompt into the session's fixed structure; the tones and timing stay as designed.

## Research

- [Research and sources](https://2hives.com/research): the evidence on both sides, and how the audio is made.
- [Research note](https://2hives.com/research/note): layered binaural programmes measured in a reference set (stacked tone pairs, up to 13 at once; slower beats on lower carriers; ~6 dB per octave level fall; brown-pink noise bed) and a synthesis engine whose test renders recovered 55 of 64 measured tone components within 0.02 Hz.

## Safety

Use stereo headphones. Never listen while driving or operating machinery. If you have epilepsy, seizures or a hearing condition, talk to a doctor first. See https://2hives.com/safety.
