The delta state releases anti-aging hormones, including melatonin and DHEA. These waves are very beneficial for the body which restores and heals itself when in this state.

1-4 Hz | This is the slowest band of waves that our brains produce and they occur when we are in deep, dreamless sleep. As with Alpha, in Theta our brain hemispheres are synchronized and we experience whole brain functioning.ĭelta. Theta waves are also conducive to visualization and creativity and the mind in this very relaxed state is highly receptive to direct suggestion under hypnosis. Theta induces a capacity for prolonged daydreaming, where a loss of time may be experienced.

Theta 4-8 Hz | Theta brainwave states have been used in meditation for centuries: It is common for people to feel as if they are in a trance, where the mind feels as though it may have gone to sleep although it is conscious of what is happening around it. Alpha is considered to be the bridge between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. We also experience Alpha Brainwaves when we are gently busy with routine tasks like pottering in the garden, taking a shower, putting on makeup, doing light housework. Unfortunately Gamma brainwaves have received the least attention and research, although more attention is currently being paid to them.Īlpha 8-14 Hz | These are lower frequency waves: The state is generated when our thoughts are really not concentrated and our minds wonder freely, or we are in a relaxed state such as meditating or daydreaming.
#Theta binaural frequencies upgrade
Think of generating more Gamma activity as getting a processor upgrade for your brain. It is the frequency that brings with it the ability to process large amounts of information in relatively small amounts of time. Gamma has long been considered the brainwave that is able to link and process information from all parts of the brain. Gamma 30-50 Hz | Gamma brainwave states are the most rapid in frequency. Specifically, some investigations show that the (EEG) readings attained while a subject is meditating are comparable to those taken while he or she is listening to binaural beats has increased activity in the Alpha and Theta bands. Very few studies have sought to isolate the effect of binaural beats on listeners however, a few studies have shown that such auditory stimulation has been shown to improve immune function, facilitate relaxation, improve mood, and contribute to alleviated stress. 1-50 Hz, these frequencies are thought to elicit incredibly healing reactions in our brain correlating with different perceptual, motor and cognitive states. And when the third tone is in the range of. This third sound is called a binaural beat. It’s an auditory illusion when two different pure-tone sine waves, creating an auditory illusion of a third tone. My friend Laura recently introduced me to the SUPER trippy realm of binaural beats.
