What Meditation Does To Your Body (Part 1) - NNOS Studios

Some info on meditation:

The purpose of meditation is to slow down our brain waves. This is also known as brain entrainment. The benefits of meditation are some of the greatest that can be experienced. Meditation can be used to achieve deep relaxation and ease of stress. Meditation is used for inspiration, for healing, for eliminating pain, for learning, for spiritual growth...the list goes on and on. All of these are actually effects of different brainwave states. Meditation is how we move from one state to another.

Brain waves are like gears of a car and meditation is like the transmission (the part that holds the gears). Not knowing about brain waves and trying to meditate is like trying to drive a manual car without understanding the gears. You may be able to get it to go by guessing along the way, but it's definitely not going to be your idea of a comfortable ride. The experience is a night and day difference between someone who understands them and someone who doesn't. The same goes for meditation.

The four common brain waves we operate in are BETA, ALPHA, THETA, and DELTA, in that order. That's first gear, second gear, third gear, and fourth gear.

Beta(12hz-40hz) is our everyday waking state of mind. It is what we operate in most of the day and it is not conducive to deep learning or relaxation. Just imagine driving all day in first gear. Your engine would be screaming but you'd hardly be moving. That's what we do with our bodies.

The next state is the Alpha(8hz-12hz) brainwave frequencies. This state is very good for focus and deep imprinting onto the mind. The alpha state is associated with deep relaxation and is the beginning of access to the subconscious mind. Information can be inserted 100 times faster and more effectively in the alpha state than in the beta state. It is the state you are in when you sit down to read a book, and all of your relaxed, undivided attention is on that book.

We will continue to the next brainwave frequencies and their benefits in the next article.
