Here are the features related to Theta Brainwaves:
• Produced by subconscious mind, and present in dreaming sleep and REM state.
• Deep meditation & spiritual connection, deep healing of body & mind.
• Long-term memory, center of creative inspiration and storehouse of repressed psychological & emotional baggage.
Deep Relaxation
Simply put, when your brain is producing theta brainwaves, you will feel deeply, deeply relaxed. Kind of like being a calm, serene Zen meditator, or similar to when you're on a lilo at sea, just gently bobbing in the ocean, with the sun beating down on you. Or when you roll over in bed early on a Sunday morning, delight in realizing that you don't have to get up and go to work, and go back to sleep immediately with a huge grin on your face. It's all awesomeness and happiness and chilled-out-ness all round.
Increased Creativity
Similar to Alpha brainwaves, researchers have shown that people who accessed theta brainwaves had "new and valid ideas, not primarily by deduction, but springing by intuition from unconscious sources" Chemistry professor Thomas Taylor from the Texas A&M hooked a load of students up to an EEG machine (like you see in the movies with the sticky plastic pads with wires stuck all over people's heads) in an attempt to analyze 'synthesis thinking' - which is basically saying "find out how people come up with new and creative ways to solve a problem". Taylor found that "during the chance moment in which a difficult concept suddenly 'made sense', (the subject) showed an abrupt change in brainwave patterns in the theta range".
Learning and "Super Learning"
Theta state appears to be very useful for learning. This is a very good thing - because not only does learning feel nice, but typically people who continue to learn after school/university are more well-rounded, and arguably are more successful and earn more money too. High fives all round.
Bio-feedback world expert Dr Budzynski notes that theta brainwaves, if used appropriately, could "dramatically boost one's learning abilities" and "enhances the absorption of the material ... (as) a lot of work gets done very quickly".
For the past forty years or so, scientists
have experimented with different audio techniques to induce Theta waves. One technique is to play a specific audio rhythm to replicate the 4 to 7 Hz frequency of the Theta brainwaves. By doing so, scientists hoped to lull the brain into the Theta state on command. Fantastically, it works. It means we can use Brainwave Entrainment to reach the deep relaxed, creative and super learning state.
