Meditation is the practice of lowering the brain frequency from a waking Beta condition to a slower Alpha state. As a heart beats a specific number of beats per minute, the mind pulses a specific quantity of brainwaves each second. In the Beta waking state, brainwaves vary from 15 to 40 cycles per second.
Let’s see…
In the Alpha state, brainwaves vary from 9 to 14 cycles per second. Beta is the normal state for waking thoughts and daily activities such as speaking, working, and shopping. Beta is the condition most individuals are in when in a working manner. Alpha is the slower condition where an individual may reflect, meditate or ponder thoughts. In his book Getting in the Gap, Dr Wayne Dyer discusses daily meditation brings us into a closer, more personal relationship with God.
By understanding God, our source of being, we can discover true meaning for our lives. Dr. Dyer writes,”The overriding reason for making meditation a part of our everyday life is to join forces with our sacred power and regain the ability of our Source (God). Through meditation, we can tap into a wealth of creative energy that resides within us, and a more meaningful experience of life, which enriches us indefinitely.
