How Can Theta Waves of Brain Entrainment Change Your Life (I)



Have you heard of theta waves? As mentioned in a previous article Brain Entrainment - Four Basic Frequencies and a Binaural Beats Free Download, there are 4 types of brainwaves associated with our everyday life. Theta waves or theta brain frequencies are produced during sleep or deep meditation.These waves are beneficial to the human body and may improve your life in other aspects dramatically.

What Are Theta Waves?


Theta waves are produced when we're in a deeply relaxed state like at the early stage of sleep. They are the second slowest frequency of brain waves, cycling at a rate of 4-7 times per second (4 Hz - 7 Hz). This is relatively slow in comparison to the much faster beta waves (> 13Hz) that we produce when we're awake and fully alert.

Benefits of Theta Waves

Some people have trained themselves to produce theta frequencies, and so enter the theta state whenever they wish to. Some common techniques include meditation and self-hypnosis. Despite the fact that these techniques normally take a long time to master, the results they bring about are worth it. Below is a list of benefits associated with the theta mental state:
  • Deeper relaxation and a more carefree life - Children who are much more relaxed and carefree than grown-ups are found to have significantly higher amounts of Theta Waves than adults. This also explains why children are not as stressed out as their parents or teachers.
  • Increased creativity - People with Theta frequencies are capable of thinking far more creatively than those who don't. Those in jobs that involve a certain degree of creativity - writers, painters and composers- have more such waves than average.
  • Faster learning - Theta frequencies are also commonly found in individuals who are able to learn quickly. Similar to Alpha waves, Theta waves induce in the brain a mental state which is optimal for learning. As a result, the learner can pick up a new language faster and retain information more effectively owing to an enhancement in memory power.
  • Stronger intuition and insight - Theta frequencies allow you to have a stronger connection with your subconscious mind. They're also found to be linked to a high degree of intuition. Instances of people escaping a life-threatening danger all because of a strong 'gut feeling' are not uncommon.
  • Enhanced health - People with brain waves as low as theta are deeply relaxed and much less stressed than the average modern man. Thus their immune system is also enhanced.

With all the benefits of theta waves listed above, it is no wonder that people are willing to spend years practicing meditation intensively. Some may even go to the extent of visiting remote areas like Tibet or seeking out famous gurus to learn the secret. Thanks to modern technology, we now have access to brain entrainment, a technology that enables the user to enter the mental state he chooses and generates the brainwaves he wishes easily.

In the next article, I'll try to explain what brain entrainment is, how theta waves are generated as well as what makes a good brain entrainment product. Stay tuned!
