Brainwaves 101

To understand how brainwave entrainment works, you first need to know the basics behind brain waves. In this section, you’ll learn what brain waves are and how they’re linked to various mental, emotional, and physical states. You’ll also learn how neurotechnology allows you to modify brainwaves, giving you greater control over your mind.

What are brain waves?

The brain is made up of approximately 100 billion neurons, and trillions of connections between them. There are more neural connections in a single cubic centimeter of brain tissue than there are stars in the Milky Way galaxy!

This immense neural network is responsible for anything and everything related to your reality. From your sense perceptions to your thoughts, to all functions of your body – it’s all driven by data flowing through your brain’s neural web.

This data is passed from one neuron to the next through electricity (which can be clocked in at speeds upwards of 250 miles per hour – faster than a Formula One racing car)!

By placing electrodes on the scalp with a device called an electroencephalograph (EEG), scientists have discovered that electricity travels through the brain in rhythms. These electrical rhythms are called brainwaves.

What type of brain waves are there?

Brainwaves are measured in Hertz (Hz), which are the frequency of electrical cycles per second. Brainwave frequencies can be grouped into categories. These categories are linked to various mental, emotional, and even physical states.

For example, slow brainwaves are associated with things like relaxation and sleep, while faster brainwaves are associated with things like alertness and heightened energy. By looking at one’s brainwaves, you can understand the state of one’s consciousness.

Down below, we give a description of each brainwave category, their frequency range, and the mental state associated with it.

Beta (38hz – 12hz) – Normal waking consciousness occurs in the beta range. This category is associated with cognitive tasks such as problem solving, decision making, verbal communication, and general mind wandering. Higher levels of beta brainwaves can be linked to stress, anxiety, and panic.

Alpha (12hz – 8hz) – Awake, but deeply relaxed. Simply closing your eyes will produce alpha brainwaves. This category is associated with daydreaming, visualization, imagination, light meditation. Brainwave expert Anna Wise called the alpha range the bridge between beta and theta.

Theta (8hz – 3hz) – Light sleep, dreaming, REM sleep, creativity, access to unconscious material, access to long-term memory, emotional healing, intuition, deep reverie, and spiritual wisdom. Hypnotists have found theta to be the range of hyper-suggestibility, where one can program or reprogram beliefs.

Delta (3hz – 0.2hz) – Deep, dreamless sleep. Intuition. Empathy. Brainwave expert Judith Pennington calls it the doorway to Universal Consciousness and “A radar that scans the environment and psychically picks up information and energy.” According to British physicist C. Maxwell Cade “There have been reports that delta waves appear at the onset of paranormal phenomena.”

How to modify brain waves to control your mind

The brain is a complex system, and every area of its network fires off various types of brainwaves at once. It is the combination of these brainwaves which can give a deeper insight into a person’s state.
For example, someone who has low levels of beta waves and elevated levels of alpha / theta waves, tend to suffer from attention deficit disorder (ADD). Those that have elevated levels of beta waves, and low levels of alpha waves tend to suffer from anxiety.

Brainwave entrainment is a powerful technology that allows us to have greater control over our brain waves, and in turn greater control over our mental states.

For example, ADD sufferers can use BWE technology to decrease theta brain waves, increase beta brain waves, resulting in a more focused mind. Those suffering from anxiety can turn down their beta brain wave production, which can result in feelings of relaxation and well-being.

Utilizing BWE technology gives you the closest thing to a dial control over your brain. Many long term entrainment practitioners have said BWE allows them to enter any desired state at will – from deep tranquility, to creative insight, to focused attention.

If this is something you want to have in your own life, then move onto Chapter 2 where you’ll learn more about the science behind brainwave entrainment.
