When you’re happy and feeling good about yourself, this is reflected in all of your being.
You smile and laugh at the smallest of things. Your steps become light and carefree. And on a more physiological level, your mood influences the ebbs and flows of your brain waves.
Because when you’re deeply relaxed and content, your brain enters a frequency where it has a chance to rest, recharge and stir the embers of inspiration and creativity. But when you’re tired, stressed and sad – your brain becomes frazzled, strained and stagnant.
And not-so-surprisingly, it’s the latter state of flow that causes the highest number of issues to your health – and unfortunately is the frequency many people operate at the most.
So to find out why this is so harmful to your health, and how powerful the other frequencies are to your overall well-being, happiness and success…

1. Beta Waves (12.5-30Hz) – Normal Waking Consciousness
The beta brain wave is the one you ride the most throughout the day. It’s like the Pacific Ocean of oceans when it comes to its vastness, as it’s associated with waking consciousness. But also with our critical reasoning, logic and a heightened state of alertness.
Its strength is what gets you through the day when it comes to regular functioning and using your logic. In essence, your working day would be lost without it!
However, with its big list of responsibilities comes a caution too. Because if you stay in this switched-on mode for sustained periods of time – and don’t allow yourself a chance to rest and recharge – it can increase levels of stress, moodiness, anger, nervousness, depression and anxiety… just to name a few issues.
So those who rarely switch off from life’s stresses (aka, a lot of the population), unfortunately fall into this bracket.
Essentially, continually operating at this level causes the brain to become frazzled and strains your mental wiring so-to-speak. This also causes your thoughts, logic and the birth of new ideas to flicker like a badly wired lamp instead of flowing freely to create the light needed to see clearly and function each day.
2. Alpha Waves (7.5-12.5HZ) – Deep Relaxation and Tranquility
Now if alpha brain waves were compared to an ocean, they would best be described as the peaceful and calming waters that surround the waters of your picture-perfect daydream island.
Present during meditation and deep relaxation, it’s a state of flow where creativity flourishes, fear and phobias melt away, and is the optimal wave for learning and enhancing your memory.
Given its tranquil nature, it’s also the best time to allow your mind to drift off into the land of endless opportunities and dream big. The relaxing wave also complements learning and concentration, while enhancing your imagination.
Alpha waves also open the gateway to your subconscious, which is why meditation, hypnosis and positive affirmations are so effective when it comes to your well-being and creating lasting change. At this frequency you can also connect with the clever voice of your intuition – which interestingly gets more profound when you get to the calmer frequency of 7.5hz.
