Active thinking, problem-solving
Beta state is associated with active thinking, problem-solving, and focus. It is the state in which the brain is engaged in cognitive tasks and activities requiring attention. Beta brainwaves have a frequency ranging from 15 to 40 Hz and are predominant during wakefulness and alertness.
Relaxed, meditative, creativity
Alpha state is characterized by a relaxed and meditative state of mind. It is often associated with creativity, reduced stress levels, and increased awareness. During alpha state, the brain waves are slower than beta but faster than theta and delta. Alpha brainwaves have a frequency ranging from 9 to 14 Hz and are commonly experienced during meditation, daydreaming, and light relaxation.
Deep relaxation, light sleep
Theta state is a state of deep relaxation, often associated with light sleep, daydreaming, and meditation. It is also considered a state of heightened creativity and intuition. Theta brainwaves have a frequency ranging from 4 to 8 Hz and are predominant during deep meditation, REM sleep, and trance-like states. In the theta state, the mind is receptive to deep learning, subconscious programming, and accessing deeper levels of consciousness.
Deep sleep, healing
Delta state is the slowest brainwave frequency and is associated with deep sleep and healing. It is the state in which the brain is in its most restorative phase, promoting physical and emotional healing. Delta brainwaves have a frequency below 4 Hz and are predominant during deep, dreamless sleep, as well as during states of deep meditation and transcendence. Delta waves are crucial for restorative sleep, tissue regeneration, and overall well-being.
