Hi Elan,
It's me again! I have a question about brainwaves and consciousness.
One of the many hats I wear is being a licensed hypnotherapist and through my work, I had a chance to experiment quite a bit and witness the magic that happens when we switch from Beta to Alpha, Theta, and other slower brainwaves. It seems like part of so called matrix/illusion is being immersed in beta brainwaves which we call normal waking state, but my finding is that beta brainwaves are not so normal as we believe. In fact, they are in highly stressful and anxious states of operating.
I realized that different brainwave states are associated with different levels of awareness, cognitive functions, and even spiritual insights.
For example, the Beta state is necessary for daily functioning, but the beta is not conducive to deep learning or shifts in consciousness. The mind is too busy, distracted, and analytical.
In Alpha, the brain is calm but alert, we are more receptive to new ideas, visualizations, and creativity. I personally cannot change any of my habits just with my rational mind (beta brainwaves), until I put myself at least to alpha and "reprogram" myself. I noticed that even when I become aware of subonscious negative programing, I cannot change it into a positive until i shift myself to slower brain waves and allow myself to have EXPERIENCE/kind of experiental yoga.
My first question is: Is alpha state bridge between conscious and subconscious?
Theta brainwaves is where we enter during REM sleep, deep meditation, and hypnosis. In theta, we can access deeper layers of your subconscious, which is why it feels like lucid states. I usually have vivid experiences in theta and it seems like some new channels are opening, and few times I had visions and brief contacts with other beings.
My second question is: what actually happens here? What channels are opening, and really anything you can tell us about this that will be of great benefit for the collective?
All the practices like meditation, visualization, breathwork, channeling, experiental yoga, and hypnosis are actually practices of shifting from Beta to Alpha, Theta and even Delta. To be lucid is to linger in deeper brainwaves. It seems getting out/taking a break from Beta is a way to wake up from illusion and expand consciousness. Am I right here?
My last question: Is it fair to say that evolution of human consciousness is heading towards direction where we will be spending more and more time in alpha and theta in our daily lives? If so, how that fits into the story of rapid technological revolution we are witnessing considering that usage of technology (like mobile phones) puts us in high beta state? Is nature the answer? Where we are heading actually? :-)
Thank You,
