Brain Wave Frequencies - Brainwave Frequencies Associated With Human States of Mind

Brain wave frequencies coincide the human state of mind.
According to classic neurophysiology, there are four main brainwave frequencies are beta, alpha, theta, and delta.
There are other brainwave frequencies like gamma brain waves, hyper-gamma, lambda and epsilon waves, but the four main frequencies that relate to meditation and classic neurophysiology are beta wave, alpha waves, theta wave, and delta brainwaves.
Beta brain-waves are typically in the 13 to 30 Hz frequency range.
They are the more frequent type of wave as they relate to you being awake and alert.
This is the frequency when you are walking, talking, driving your car, your normal daily activities.
During this frequency of brain-waves is where you are most alert, and have the greatest concentration and cognition.
Alpha brain waves are typically fall between 8 to 12 Hz frequency ranges.
Everyone experiences alpha waves although most people are unaware, and do not have control to maintain this range.
Alpha waves occur at deep levels of relaxation.
Usually occur as you lay down to go to sleep.
As you close your eyes, and slowly start to drift to sleep, you are not quite awake but not asleep either.
Theta waves are next; it usually falls in between the 4 to 7 Hz frequency range.
This range is where your dreams occur.
REM sleep or Rapid Eye Movement sleep occurs at this frequency.
While your brain is in this state, it is almost a paralyzed sleep.
With the exception of occasional twitching your body does not move.
There is no tossing and turning to get comfortable.
Delta brainwaves are the last of the four basic brainwave frequencies.
Delta waves occur around 0.
5 to 3 Hz frequency range.
This is the frequency where you are in a deep, healing sleep.
Your heart rate, respirations, metabolism slows, your blood pressure and body temperature lower as your body re-tunes and heals itself.
You actually experience all of these frequencies of brain waves each and everyday, usually without even knowing it.
