You don't try to cling onto them, and if you do, you don't force yourself to let go. You might choose to keep your eyes open and focus on an object, or close your eyes and simply relax.Įither way, you observe the thoughts that arise in your mind and just let them be. The idea is not to blank your mind so that you stop thinking –you would become very frustrated trying to do so – but rather to centre your awareness. Many people start the process of meditation by focusing on the breath, as this is a tried and tested way to calm the mind.įocussing on the breath can bring your mind into the present moment and stop you dwelling on thoughts of the past and the potential of the future. I tried to keep that as non-technical as possible, so you get the concept of fast and slow brainwaves. So essentially, accessing the Theta state is all about getting your brain to shift from an alert and highly aware state to a relaxed, calm state where you can begin to focus on your awareness. The source is probably frontal parts of the brain, which are associated with monitoring of other mental processes. Previous studies have shown that theta waves indicate deep relaxation and occur more frequently in highly experienced meditation practitioners. Delta waves are abundant in the deep sleep stages. When you mediate, your brainwaves drop down into a low frequency state known as Theta. This state is a low frequency brainwave state that runs between 4-8 Hertz (cycles per second).Ībove Theta is Alpha, a relaxed but focussed and aware (the flow) state. When you are in a higher energy state, the dominant brainwave frequency running through your brain is Beta (waves) probably somewhere between 15-30 Hertz.
When you meditate, your brainwaves slow down. The Theta state, induced by Theta healing is the same state accessed when you meditate, something people in the East have been doing for centuries, and something that was adopted by the West around 70 or so years ago. So in this post I want to explain to you where this popular therapy originates from, what the benefits are and how you can access this state of Theta healing – for less than 10 bucks! The Roots of Theta Healing
And then there's the books and extra sessions, too. A healer, or a ticket to visit a seminar, could run into $100+ dollars. Theta healing has become a branded term (trademarked I believe) a global industry. Theta Healing has become globally popular, but what most people don't realise is that you don't need a healer to access the Theta state.
