What is brainwave synchronization?
For many years, man knew about the subconscious mind and its power. There have been many stories which showed that the power could be tapped to speed up bodily healing. It could also be used to improve the mental state however; none had come out with scientific explanations.
The subconscious mind is in reality the result of changing state which happens in the dormant brain. And every state of the brain uses different wave frequencies ranges.
How do we know that the state can be measured by wave frequency?
In the year 1924, German scientist, Hans Berge revolutionized Electroencephalogram (EEG) or brain-wave test. This test measures the tiny voltage-fluctuations from the brain and the intensity of it is defined by the wave pattern. This is also the frequency.
Today, scientists have found that human brain actually operates at active ‘Beta wave’ state more often and the frequency is usually around 13 to 40 Hz. This is associated with more concentration, and acute visual.
Where is the subconscious mind?
The subconscious mind becomes dominant when the brain wave goes down through different frequencies.
ALPHA WAVES - Around 7 to 12 Hz:
When people rest, relax, or meditate, the brain shows Alpha wave pattern. It is more stable when eyes are closed.
This state is also considered by many people as the ‘gateway’ to creativity and genius and people who are induced into this stage have a whole lot of creativity. These people are just below the consciousness awareness.
THETA WAVES - Around 4 - 7 Hz
When people enter this stage, they are into ‘subconscious’ sleep. Such people often experience a ‘heavenly’ rest. They have no worry and they are always blissful. This leads to activation in the hidden intuition. Such people are very much receptive to information beyond normal conscious awareness and they are very creative.
Theta has also been identified as the ‘gateway’ to learning and memory and this form of meditation enhances learning. It also awakens extrasensory perception.
DELTA WAVES - Close to 0Hz to around 4Hz.
Delta waves are seen in deep sleep state or meditation and during this time creativity and intuition is strengthened. Sometimes even long lost memory is recalled. There are times when people can clearly even remember their dreams. In this stage, the subconscious part of the brain is fully in force. There is no external interference.
It is also noticed that during this time the healing of damaged cells gets faster and according to latest research Delta waves trigger the release of Human Growth Hormones and this is advantageous to healing. It is also said that during this state, the brain cells reset the sodium and potassium ratio. Monks from ages have been using deep meditation for getting cured from injuries.
