Man, especially those in the medical field, have been able to learn what the brain looks like and how it works, but how the mind works is one of the mysteries of life. The use of electroencephalogram (EEG) machinery has opened a very small window to allow man to see how the brain works in so far as that is possible to even comprehend much less to understand. One must remember that more than one brainwave occurs in every moment of our very existence. The brain beats constantly just as the heart does. Touching the various pulse points on the body indicates that the heart is beating and blood is flowing throughout our bodies. Binaural pulses measure the response of the brain stem which ultimately affects our state of mind every moment of the day and night. The use of sound healing techniques is gaining popularity among most individuals seeking self-improvement methods.

Learning about the five types of brainwaves and what happens during each one can give us some insight into how brainwave technology can be used to improve and enrich our lives. The most active brainwave is called Beta. While the brain is in this state, the mind is engaged at the height of mental activity such as conversation and participation in sports and other activities wherein we are very alert and focused on the activity in which we are engaged.

During the Alpha state, the brainwaves are a bit slower since this is the state of relaxation. Man’s brain enters this state when we begin to reflect or think back over the experiences we have had during our waking hours. It is during this state that contemplation and problem solving occur. Since this activity occurs at a deeper state of consciousness, we may not even realize it is happening.

The Theta stage occurs at the point of consciousness between wakefulness and falling asleep. It is during this state that our dreams happen. During this state, the mind appears to be going through the process of mental organization planning for future activities. Some refer to this state as the period of deep thought when Eureka or ‘AHA’ moments happen, which allows man to feel that all is right with the world. It is during the Theta state that purging of the mind occurs and wherein emotional healing happens to improve health and well being when we are fully awake and alert. The Gamma state is very closely akin to the Theta state in that this is the time when the mind appears also to have bursts of insight and information processing.

The fifth state is called Delta and it is during this state where deep and dreamless sleep occurs and the mind appears to be in complete control of the body.

Another aspect of brainwave technology which is extremely important to attempt to understand is brainwave entrainment. Brainwaves must be ‘in sync’ so that the mind and body are in tune with each other. For example, when a piano is tuned, a tuning fork is struck to obtain an exact sound pitch. A second tuning fork can be struck to obtain a different sound pitch but when the second tuning fork contacts the first one, only the sound of the first pitch is heard. It is during synchronization that different brainwaves come together as one. Brain entrainment allows the mind and the body to enter a state of homeostasis or complete balance which gives some insight into how brainwave technology works as a helpful sound healing technique for better healthy living standards.
