Brainwave Patterns – How do they affect us?

So we’ve mentioned that our brains produce sweeping electrical charges, known as brainwave patterns. And that altering those patterns can affect our life. But what does all that really mean, and how is this related to self help audio?

First off, there are 4 categories of brainwave activity: Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta. All brainwave patterns are measured by their frequencies or speed in a measurement known as Hertz(HZ). Now this isn’t a scientific blog, so I’m not going into the super technicals on that, but just know this is how brainwave patterns are described.

There can be some discrepancies on the absolute ranges for each category, but then again this is why these are general categories. So don’t be surprised if you find ranges slightly off from what I’m giving here.

Beta Waves, (around 12HZ to 30 Hz), are associated with regular waking consciousness. When you are active in a conversation, general work, or reading a book, your brain is operating with a strong amount of beta waves.

Alpha Waves (8Hz to 12Hz) are produced when you are relaxed. They’re generally grouped with enhanced creativity and accelerated learning. Those that practice light meditation are generally in an alpha state of mind.

Theta Waves (4Hz to 8Hz) generally occur when you’re in a “zoned out” place. Have you ever been driving a long distance and been startled to realize how much time has passed without you actively paying attention? You were in Theta mode. Theta waves are associated with deep meditation and relaxation.

Delta Waves (0.5Hz to 4Hz) are produced when you are in a state of unconsciousness and deep sleep. When you conk out into a deep dreamless sleep, you’ve found yourself in delta.

So how does this tie into self help audio? Well remember what we learned about brainwave entrainment; the brain is stimulated with a certain frequency or set of frequencies, our brainwaves will align with these frequencies. So let’s say you have a huge problem getting to sleep. Well, if you exposed yourself to a set of delta waves for around 30 minutes, your brain would sync up with those frequencies, produce delta brainwaves, and you’re off to sleep in no time.

Are you beginning to see the amazing power behind all this? Good. In the next article, I’ll discuss my absolute favorite brainwave entrainment audios.
