The Truth of Subconscious Mind Demystified
For centuries, man knew the existence of subconscious mind and
its power. Many stories reported that the power could be tapped
to speed up bodily healing and improve mental state.
Interestingly, none had come out with scientific explanations.
And worst still, many people were told by snake-oil peddlers
that the subconscious mind is something spiritual.
Confused no more! Learn the scientific truth now.
The subconscious mind is actually the result of changing state
in the dormant brain. And every state uses different wave
frequencies ranges.
First, how do we know that the state can be measured by wave
frequency?
In 1924, German scientist, Hans Berger, was the first to
revolutionize Electroencephalogram (EEG) or brain-wave test.
This test measures the tiny voltage-fluctuations from the brain.
The intensity of it is defined by the wave pattern which is also
the frequency.
Today, scientists have found that human brain usually operates
at active 'Beta wave' state. The frequency is usually around 13
to 40 Hz. This is associated with heightened concentration, and
acute visual.
Where is the subconscious mind and when does it happen?
The subconscious mind becomes dominant when the brain wave
slowing down through three frequencies ranges:
ALPHA WAVES - Around 7 to 12 Hz:
When people rest (not sleep), relax, or meditate, Alpha wave
pattern could be found from the brain. It gets more stable when
eyes are close.
This state is also considered by many as the 'gateway' to
creativity and genius. People who're induced to this state are
going to access the wealth of creativity that lies just below
the conscious awareness.
Speaking of genius, believe it or not, it is not always
inherited by gene. It is the result when the brain is nurtured
and trained to work at Alpha and Theta stage.
THETA WAVES - Around 4 - 7 Hz
Whenever people enter this stage that is directly on the
threshold of 'subconscious' sleep, they often experience a
'heavenly' rest with no worry but all bliss. This activates the
hidden intuition. They are receptive to information beyond
normal conscious awareness. They become extremely creative.
Theta has also been identified as the 'gateway' to learning and
memory. This kind of meditation enhances learning, and awakens
extrasensory perception.
DELTA WAVES - .Close to 0Hz to around 4Hz.
Delta waves are found in a deep sleep state or deep meditation.
Creativity and intuition is further strengthened. Long lost
memory will be recalled. Sometimes, people can remember past
dreams vividly. The subconscious part of the brain is fully in
force without the clutter of external interference.
This is also when the healing of damaged cells gets faster. In
fact, recent researches reveal that Delta waves trigger the
release of Human Growth Hormones. This is beneficial to healing.
It is also report that in this state, the brain cells reset the
sodium and potassium ratio. After an extended period in the Beta
state, the ratio between potassium and sodium is out of balance.
This results in mental fatigue. About 5 to 15 minutes in Theta
state can usually restore the ratio to normal level.
And there's truth in it. Because the monks have been using deep
meditation to recover from injuries and fatigue faster for
centuries!
Conclusion:
As the brainwave patterns slow down from Beta to Alpha to Theta
to Delta, it is reported that the two hemispheres of the brain
correspond in synchronization. This simply means that every part
of the brain is in full harmony.
Finally there's a scientific truth! -- The slowing down of
brainwave pattern is accompanied by satisfying rest, creative
insight, moments of genius, faster healing, and **many more
experiences you never expected**. That is no doubt the
subconscious mind is at work. And there's nothing mysterious
about!
The truth will set many people free!
