Understanding Activity in the Brain to Help with Sleep, Stress and Focus

Brain waves have been rigorously researched since they were first discovered early in the twentieth century. They are categorized in 4 types:

• Beta (13-30Hz): Most waking moments - focused, alert, engaged in activity.

• Alpha (7.5-14Hz): Relaxed but alert. Open to speed learning and positive thinking.

• Theta (4-8Hz): Deep relaxation, creativity, dreams, meditation, increased memory.

• Delta (0.1-4Hz): Deep sleep. Releases growth hormones, aids healing.

There are things you can do from the comfort of your own home to strengthen desirable brain waves and help with stress, sleep, and productivity.

Gratitude plus forgiveness, meditation, exercise, deep breathing, relaxing baths, yoga, and binaural beats are all powerful ways to shift your brainwave state and improve sleep, focus, and wellbeing.

The next time you're stressed or relaxed, motivated or depressed, think about what your brain is doing and how you can help it calm down or get energized. Mind over matter!
