Have you ever wondered where all your emotions and behaviors come from? Well, all those things are created by the neurons within your brain. The neurons create electrical pulses. And those electrical pulses form brain waves. There are a few different waves in the brain. Each one is slightly different from the rest. Today, I am sharing the five different types of brain waves your body experiences every day.

Brain waves — exploring the various brain waves and their purposes.

Different Brain Waves

Delta Brain Waves-0.5 to 4 Hz

The delta waves in the brain are loud and slow. Think of how a drum beat sounds. That is exactly what the delta waves would sound like in your brain.

You will experience these delta waves while you are in a dreamless sleep. Or when you are in a deep meditative state. During this time, all your external awareness is suspended.

It is also during this type of deep sleep that you will experience the benefits of healing and regeneration.

Theta Brain Waves-4 to 8 Hz

You will normally have theta waves in the brain when you are sleeping. However, it is also possible to experience these waves during deep meditation.

These waves create vivid imagery during dreams. They also share information and intuition that you will never have when you are in a conscious state. Most of the time, you will find yourself facing your fears, past, and even nightmares when theta waves are present in your mind.

Alpha Brain Waves-8 to 13 Hz

When you meditate or are completely quiet in your thoughts, you are experiencing alpha brainwaves. Alpha means the power of now, which allows you to focus on the present.

It is at this time that your brain is resting. This is helpful for creating alertness and calmness. It is also good for improving mental coordination and the ability to learn new things.

Beta Brain Waves-13 to 35 Hz

When you are focused on basic everyday tasks, the beta waves in your brain are working. These waves allow you to work quickly, as you are solving problems, making decisions…
