Alpha Brain Waves - Binaural Meditation Through Alpha Brain Waves

If you are searching for spiritual growth or just looking for better control of your self and the thoughts that your brain is constantly thinking. Use of the alpha brain waves can help one to take control of their brain and achieve total happiness in life.

Have you ever heard the phrase that your life is how you perceive it?

This tends to be quite true, If you happen to hate your life right now due to certain experiences that you may have gone through. Take into consideration that negative feelings about what has happened in the past and even maybe your uncertain future are all just thoughts you have conceived yourself in your own mind.

Take a a few moments and absorb the fact that everything you experience as a thought is only a thought and that you are in control of your thoughts. Now let me ask you, why would you want to live your life constantly thinking negative thoughts that make you feel unfulfilled when you are really the one who is control? You are more than capable of releasing these thoughts and replacing them with new positive, healthy, life loving thoughts regardless of what you've been through in life.

Now let me tell about the different brain waves your mind operates on and inform you a little about each of them and how you can harness the alpha brain waves to take control of your life!

Beta Brain waves - When we are going throughout our day in our physical world we are in a state of mind known as beta. The beta brain wave frequencies are operating more than twice as fast than that of the alpha brain wave frequencies. You are in beta this very moment as you consciously sit at your computer reading this article. Beta is the rational, thinking, problem solving state of consciousness in which you have spent most of your life in the waking world. The Beta brain waves are operating incredibly fast and ever changing at a rate of between 15 to 40 cycles per second.

Alpha Brain waves - The alpha state of mind begins at a height of inner relaxation where the minds frequencies are lowered into what is called the alpha brain waves. When coasting from beta to alpha the human brain's frequencies begin to slow down to a range of about 9 to 14 cycles per second. The alpha brain waves allow for a state of tranquility and calmness. Alpha is when the mind is most receptive to subliminal programming. The programming that can be done to the mind in alpha is pretty much identical to hypnosis but when applying meditation with the alpha brain waves one can use it to their benefit. Through the programming of the subconscious mind the potentiality is virtually unbounded.

Theta Brain waves - The next stage in descending the frequencies of the mind is theta in which the brain is still conscious but more on zombie auto pilot than that of alpha. This frequency range of theta will normally be somewhere between 5 and 8 cycles per second. Theta is much harder to consciously be in control of as it is the state right before a deep sleep. With practice one can harness Theta brain waves for a greater ambition but more than likely once you've made it to theta your bound to fall asleep. This is one reason alpha is the perfect circumstance of mind for programming your subconscious. When one starts to venture with meditation through theta brainwaves they will usually sit upright to stay conscious and prevent from falling asleep.
Delta Brain waves - Delta brain waves are by far the lowest brain waves our brains will emit with a range of 1.5 to 4 cycles per second. Your brain will never reach zero cycles per second as long as your alive because in the event that it did you would be dead! Delta is the state of deep slumber. With delta your mind is rejuvenating itself and naturally you are completely out, however you may have heard of something called lucid dreaming.

Lucid dreaming is the instance of dreaming and then consciously realizing that you are actually dreaming. I wont be getting to in depth with lucid dreaming but what I can say about it is it that it is one of the most wonderful adventures you will ever have. When your the one who is in control of your dream you can do absolutely anything!

To sum it all up those are the four different classifications of brain frequencies, and alpha is definitely one that everyone should be taking advantage of. I've been meditating for a many years now and it definitely helps to understand the science of what is actually happening inside your brain.

Over the years I have personally used a variety of different meditation techniques. One that I have found to the best that I work with regularly is binaural beats meditation. Basically with binaural beats meditation you use a set of headphones and listen to a track of special, calming music and hidden within the music are very special frequencies, a low one and high one. A completely different frequency is played in each ear and only after a few minutes the alpha state of mind can be reached. This can be extremely helpful for someone just starting out that may be having trouble sitting still to find their inner peace through the alpha brain waves.
