Health Tip
Did you know you have 5 different types of brain waves? They each have a different purpose and correlate to varying aspects of your physiology. Here is a quick summary:
- Delta brain waves are the slowest brain waves. They are generated in deep meditation and dreamless sleep. Healing and regeneration occur when the brain is in this state.
- Theta waves also occur in sleep and during relaxation. They are indicative of an inner focus, and dreams and vivid imagery occur in this state.
- Alpha waves occur during quiet, thoughtful times. Alpha waves indicate that the brain is in a resting state.
- Beta waves are the most common pattern in the normal waking state. They occur when one is alert and focused on problem solving.
- Gamma brain waves are the fastest and are associated with higher levels of consciousness.
