Our brain emits natural electrical frequencies under the 30hz. A electrical frequency represents a type of mental state. Scientists have classified four main mental according a range of frequencies: They are:


Mental states

Name

Frequency

State

Play

Gamma

40 Hz +

High alert






Beta

14 - 40 Hz

Normal alert





Alpha

8 - 14 Hz

Light relax





Theta

3 - 8 Hz

Deep relax, meditation

However, can I modify my mental state to my will?

The answer is yes, what we need is a stimuli, visual or sonorous, to increase or reduce our brain activity. For example if you are awake in the job, you will be in the Beta state. If you receive a stimuli of 10hz you will be more relaxed. This state corresponds to the alpha state. The techonolgy is brainwave entrainment.


How can I build my own brainwave entrainment session?

Here I will show 4 tools to build brainwave entrainment sessions.
