The 4 Brainwave Patterns - What do they do and why are they important.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT BRAINWAVE PATTERNS?

There are four basic brainwave patterns:

BETA BRAINWAVES - 14Hz to 20Hz.

Beta waves are associated with normal waking consciousness. This is the state in which we spend most of our day, when awake, that is.They are present when you are focused on activities in the outside world. Many people lack sufficient beta activity, which can cause mental and activity which can cause mental and emotional disorders such as depression, ADD & Insomnia.

Stimulating Beta levels can improve emotional stability (no more mood swings), attentiveness, concentration and even increase IQ.

ALPHA BRAINWAVES - 8Hz to 13Hz.

Alpha waves are compared to a light meditation - A focused but relaxed state of mind. They are prevalent when you daydream. They will become stronger when your eyes are closed. Intense levels of concentration are easy to achieve in this state.

The Alpha brainwave state is also known as The Super Learning State. In this state the mind takes in information faster and retains it for longer than in any other state.

THETA BRAINWAVES - 4Hz to 7Hz.

Theta waves occur during heightened states of creativity and are also produced during the dreaming stage of sleep or during deep meditative states.

Theta is also a state of tremendous stress relief. In this slower brainwave pattern the body releases endorphins which help the body to relax and melt away stress.

This is one of the most important patterns for self-development. It is in this stage that the critical and often self-sabotaging filters of the conscious mind are bypassed and new beliefs and thinking patterns can be established.

3o minutes a day of listening to Theta can reduce your sleep time by up to 4 hours! Yep, you can sleep 4 hours less each night by listening to theta sounds for 3 minutes each day....amazing, isn't it?

DELTA BRAINWAVES - .5Hz to 3Hz.

The slowest of all brainwave patterns Delta waves are found in a deep dreamless sleep state or unconsciousness. Delta brainwaves are common in very deep states of meditation. This state of mind is one in which both hemispheres of the brain work together in harmony. This high performance 'whole brain thinking' is associated with genius.
