A Mind Machine uses pulsing rhythmic sound and flashing lights to gently change the frequency of the user’s brainwaves.
δ DELTA (0.5 to 4 Hz)
Delta brainwaves are generated in the deepest meditation and dreamless sleep. Delta waves suspend external awareness and are the source of empathy. Healing and regeneration are stimulated in this state, and that is why deep restorative sleep is so essential to the healing process.
Audio-visual or brainwave entrainment is the process that Mind Machines utilize to shift brain states.
θ THETA (4 to 8 Hz)
Theta brainwaves occur most often in sleep but are also dominant in deep meditation. Theta is the gateway to learning, memory, and intuition. Here, the senses are withdrawn from the external world and focused on signals originating from within.
When your eyes are closed there is an almost immediate increase in alpha activity.
α ALPHA (8 to 12 Hz)
Alpha brainwaves are dominant during quietly flowing thoughts, and can be triggered in some meditative states. It represents ‘the power of now’, of being in the present. It is the resting state. A sort of idling gear for the brain, waiting to respond when needed.
Mind Machines and their Beta sessions are ideal for any form of active thought and for increasing overall energy and motivation.
β BETA (12 to 35 Hz)
Beta brainwaves are small, fast brainwaves associates with a state of mental and intellectual activity and outwardly facing concentration and focus. A state of alertness. They dominate our normal waking state of consciousness when attention is directed towards cognitive tasks and the outside world.
Gamma are the fastest of brainwaves. Only active when in states of universal love or altruism and their rhythms modulate perception and consciousness!
γ GAMMA (>35 Hz)
Gamma waves are associated with the formation of ideas, language, memory processing and learning. Working on Gamma frequency can bring benefits in the form of increasing awareness through your senses, increasing self-control and a more benevolent outlook on life.
