Meditation Music - Day 1 - What can it do for you

Over the next few days I'm going to explain the different types of meditation music and how these types of music work to enhance your meditative state.

The meditative state is a natural one. Every day your brain goes through many different states. Each state is needed and useful. Today I will discuss these states and how they affect you.

What are brainwaves?
Every moment of your life your brain is active. It is pulsing with electrical impulses, yes electricity! The electricity or electrical current generated by the brain can be measured with an electroencephalogram (EEG), which measures the frequency of the electrical current. The frequency or speed of the brainwave is measured in Hertz(Hz).

These frequencies can be associated with our state of mind at any particular moment. This means that your state of mind, for example relaxed, frightened, or sleepy is associated to your brainwave frequencies at that moment. The speed of the frequency allows us to categorize our brainwaves into 4 broad categories.

What are the different Brainwave Patterns?
There are four common brainwave patterns that have been well researched to date.
They are:

• Beta – 14Hz to 20Hz. Beta waves are associated with normal waking
  consciousness. They are present when you are focused on activities in the outside world.


• Alpha – 8Hz to 13Hz. Alpha waves are likened to a light meditation.
  They are prevalent when you daydream. They will become stronger when
  your eyes are closed.


• Theta – 4Hz to 7Hz. Theta waves occur during heightened states of creativity
  and are found with a deep meditative state.


• Delta - .5Hz to 3Hz. Delta waves are found in a deep sleep state or
  unconsciousness. Also, delta waves are common in very deep meditation.
