BRAINWAVES
The Life Force is measurable on a machine called the electroencephalograph or EEG. It measures brain wave activity. Brain wave activity is divided by scientists into four categories, they call them Delta, Theta, Alpha and Beta. (click on each for more information)
Delta: This is the deep sleep state. In this state of healing and regeneration, the metabolic rate slows and our bodies repair themselves. Our conscious mind is turned off and there is not thinking or dreaming taking place. The physical body is totally at rest.
Theta: This state includes the sleep dreams and that state in between awake and asleep when we are dreaming and know that we are dreaming at the same time. Deep hypnosis and trance meditation are part of the theta state.
Alpha: This is the state of focused concentration experienced in daydreaming, watching television and spacing out. When you add to focus, GREAT PASSION, you create the state of mastery, experienced by artists, athletes, musicians and others who achieve greatness.
Beta: This is the brainwave state that we associate with being stressed. It can be categorized by divided attention. Conversation usually takes place in lower beta. Worry, confusion, anxiety, terror and fight or flight reactions occur in the higher beta state.
