My name is Ahilan. I live in Canada. In this blog site, I
will be expressing my journey into discovering the power of super conscious mind.
This is the power we all possess, but only a few realize. I welcome you to join
my journey to explore your full potential.
I am not a guru. I am not an expert in this field. I am just
a regular guy exploring our unlimited potential. I hope many of you will be
able to relate yourself to me while learning to explore this field.
In the past, I have explored what is meditation. I did felt peace
while meditating in the presence of others in a temple like environment. But I
never bothered to meditate by myself. My mind was wondering all over the place
and I thought it is impossible for me to meditate.
My mom, sister, and few of my uncles and aunts do go for
Yoga and meditation. When they invited me, I was very reluctant to allocate
time on a weekend to go out for these activities. Few months ago in one of
their conversation, they mentioned the word “Alpha Mind”. Out of curiosity, I
googled this word and found a few websites related to this. That’s when my
journey started.
Until we reach age of 4 during the normal state of eyes open, awake and alert our brains were functioning in the delta state, with brain waves function at less than 4 Hz. But still when we have deep sleep our brains function in the delta state..
ReplyDeleteFrom age of 4 to 7, during the normal state of eyes open, awake and alert our brains were primarily operating in theta state, with brain waves functioning mainly between between 4 to 7 Hz. Now we experience this level of brain wave activity during sleep and during states of fear when the body goes into a fight,-flight or freeze response, (hyper arousal, or the acute stress response). This is a powerful level from which to initiate change and in this state, we only need mostly just one or couple of experiences of learning to change our behaviour.
From the ages 7 until we reached our puberty, during the normal state of eyes open, awake and alert our brains were mainly operating in the alpha state of 7 to 14 Hz. Now during light sleep, meditation, or eyes closed relaxation we reach alpha state. At this level effective learning can take place after about 21 repetitions. Practice a new behaviour for about 21 times and that behaviour becomes a habit. Strong levels of physical healing can take place when the brain is at 10 Hz
Since puberty during the normal state of eyes open, awake and alert our brain operates in the beta state, 14 to 21 Hz during the normal state of eyes open, awake and alert. In this state it may take many thousands of repetitions to learn a new behaviour. To create significant change in our lives at this level takes extensive deal of time and effort.
Brain waves less than 7 Hz are very ideal for rejuvenating and to maintain good health.
