| There are four
brain wave states: beta,
alpha, theta, delta. The "general awareness of permanent alert"
(Fritz Perls) is the so-called "Beta State" |
Beta State - 30 to 13 Hz (cycles
per second)
The usual characteristics of this state are watchfulness, analytic
problem solving, tension, stress, hectic activity and imbalance. (Little
research has been done in the range from approximately 30 to 500 cycles
per second, the so-called "high beta" or "gamma state", which is
allegedly an octave higher than delta state). Creativity and learning
ability are unfortunately on a low during this state. Everyone knows
this state, which occurs, for example, when working with one's hands,
driving a car, playing soccer, going shopping, discussing, etc.
Alpha State - 12 to 8 Hz.
The Alpha State is a calmer state than Beta. It is characterized by
light watchfulness, easy concentration, heightened learning and
memorizing ability, as well as a feeling of unity of body and mind. This
relaxed and balanced yet energized and wakeful state is experienced
during light meditation. According to a hypothesis which up to now has
held up under examination, the Alpha State - in contrast to the Beta
state - produces self-calming neurotransmitters. People who are unable
get into the Alpha State on their own because of their high excitability
are lacking them.
Theta State - 7 to 4 Hz
A meditative state, that the brain oscillates at . It is characterized
by deep relaxation, high creativity as well as strong imagination
representing easy access to a visionary world. It is experienced
during sleep and deep meditation. Theta waves are also caused by
psychedelic drugs. During this state, one has access to potentially
otherwise unknown thoughts/visions. Associations and interconnections
are recognized in an integrated way, or in greater context. Usual
perceptual patterns can be suspended (a noise can be interpreted as
visual stimulation).
Delta State - 3 to 1 Hz.
A state of deepest relaxation. We experience it only rarely because it
is the state of deep sleep, trance, or deep hypnosis. Outer Body
Experiences usually happen during the Delta State. All these states can
be measured by EEG. Or rather, EEG measuring has made scientific
research of these states possible in the first place.
