Brain waves!

• Delta wave (0 to 4 Hz). This is the wave of deep sleep and it is also found in people who are in touch with the nonlocal mind, even when they are awake. This is the brain of meditators, monks, healers and some therapists who work with any type of energy. In this state the eyes will not move as people will be in a deep state of calmness and/or in deep sleep.
• Theta wave. Theta is light sleep (4 to 8HZ). This is the wave when we remember our dreams, the time of waking from the deep sleep, usually and normally in the morning before we wake up. Theta is the time of rapid eye movement (REM) and the one that will be triggered when there is a recollection of good or bad experiences. Quite often during my sessions, many people go into a Theta wave time.
• Alpha wave (8 to 12 Hz) is the state of relaxed alertness. Alpha connects the thinking mind of beta and the associated mind of gamma with the two lowest frequency brain waves, Theta (4 to 8 Hz) and delta (0 to 4 Hz). Alpha waves, form a bridge between the high frequencies of beta and gamma and the low of theta and delta. When this is active then the brain is in perfect state with no monkey business, low anxiety and a state of presence and Awakened mind. Monks, healers, therapist who do healing have all high amount of alpha wave and are in a state of awakened mind. Alpha wave are the ones in the middle of the spectrum of waves. The alpha bridge creates a link between the high frequencies above and the low frequencies below. This might be also the wave most used by medium and people who channel energy that cannot be felt by most people, as high frequencies cosmic beings. Alpha bridge also connects the conscious and unconscious mind. In this state we see the reality as a false truth and the truth is all but what we think we know.
• Beta wave (12 to 40 Hz). Divided into two parts, the high beta wave is the monkey mind (15 to 40 Hz). This type is typically the mind of a person who is anxious, frustrated, angry and under stress. Usually connected to anger, fear, blame, guilt and shame. This type of high beta will shut down the thinking brain, the frontal cortex, the rational brain, memory and decision making.
• Low beta is the one that will make our body function automatically, the sensorimotor rhythm frequency (SMR, from 12 to 15 Hz). Normal level of this beta wave is good, as helps us to process information in a straight line. Stress will cause the high beta, above 25HZ.
• Gamma wave flow from the front to the back of the brain at 40 times per seconds (highest brain wave frequency (40 to 100 Hz). This is highest at times of learning, making associations from many different parts of the brains. Monks have a high gamma waves, especially after meditations. In one research when the monks added the feeling of compassion to their meditation, the gamma waves went very high. When the each wave starts flaring up, billions of neurons are shot and high levels of intellectual function, creativity, integration, and feeling in the zone. I remember one article that I read, where Richard Branson was interviewed and he mentioned that the most ideas came to him when he was in his hammock. In that state of relaxation but not completely asleep. Elon Mask is another one that has probably a natural state of bliss in some way and hence ideas come to him as well in similar way.

When I work with babies, I usually see them going into a state of bliss and brain wave that is a state where they will allow me to get to the point of hurt and unbalance, for the physical or energetic. This is an amazing way of healing for them, through craniosacral therapy and healing. From birth to adulthood. This is a gift of life as they will start their journey without restricted body and mind, there is a sense of going with on the river of life with a calm state of mind from the start. Quite often the parents that take their babies and children to have sessions of craniosacral therapy are already in the path of healing themselves!
