How To Use Brainwaves to Enhance Mental Activity
Using your Brain(waves) to enhance Your Creativity
Author: David Allen
The brain normally operates at different frequencies, depending
on the type of mental activity involved. These frequencies are
divided into four main types of brainwave patterns:
· Beta waves (between 13-40 HZ) are associated with peak
concentration, heightened alertness and visual acuity.
· Alpha waves (between 7-12 HZ) are associated with deep
relaxation and are considered the gateway to our creativity
· Theta waves (between 4-7 HZ) are associated with the twilight
state that we experience fleetingly as we drift off to sleep and
are strongly linked with creativity and intuition.
· Delta waves (between 0-4 HZ.) are associated with deep sleep.
As we slow the brainwave patterns from beta to alpha to theta to
delta, there is a corresponding increase in balance or
synchronization between the two hemispheres of the brain.
Scientists have noted that these slower brainwave patterns are
accompanied by deep tranquillity, flashes of creative insight,
euphoria, intensely focused attention, and enhanced learning
abilities.
Several audio programs are available that make it easy to
control brainwave activity. The programs work by using a series
of tones at precise frequencies to induce the desired brainwave
activity. The tones are masked by soothing classical music or
natural rainfall sounds. Many of these programs use a “binaural
beat” where different frequencies are delivered to each ear.
When listened to using headphones, the two hemispheres of the
brain work together to integrate the two sounds & guide the
brain into specific frequency patterns.
These synchronized brainwaves have long been associated with
meditative states. The reason that binaural beats work to induce
these states of consciousness has to do with the physiology of
the brain. Each hemisphere of the brain has its own
sound-processing center that receives signals from each ear.
When a binaural beat is presented to both ears, it causes an
increase in the communication between the two hemispheres until
the brain synchronizes the different frequencies into one.
Binaural beats that are embedded in music or background sounds
can be used to enhance creativity and intuition as well as for
related applications such as promoting relaxation, meditation,
stress reduction, super learning, telepathy, out-of-body
experience and lucid dreaming. The binaural beats can also be
used with positive affirmations and visualization techniques to
increase their effect.
The response to binaural beat stimulation may differ between
people. For instance, its effectiveness can depend on the
person’s ability to relax and focus their attention. However,
this resistance can often be overcome by practices such as
humming, breathing exercises, and biofeedback techniques.
A highly regarded binaural beat program is the Insight CD which
provides great value at approximately $35 for the basic program
(compared to hundreds of dollars for some other programs). An
even better value is the combined Insight CD and Focus 2-CD set
for about $48. The additional Focus CDs promote different
brainwave activity levels for different applications such as
brainstorming, working on the computer or exercising in order to
enhance concentration, clarity and problem-solving skills.
