Benefiting at work from Brain Based Insights

Brainwaves are rather impressive when you think about it. How so?

Beta Brainwaves, kick in when we think logically, solve problems, and confront external stimuli. Beta often races and brings you panic at times. Used too often, you run the risk of thinking deeply about little, and tiring yourself out about much. Imagine this wave as more fast paced, or even panic activity within your mind. Beta has its place but must be helped to slow down at times and reflect.

Alpha Brainwaves add images and visuals you could view as escape from reality.  Too much alpha activity leads to excessive escapes and daydreaming. Too little makes human machines in motion, without dreams that inspire.

Theta Brainwaves engage inner and intuitive subconscious. You’ll find theta in places where you hold memories, sensations and emotions. Sometimes, we also store secrets there, which we block out in times of pain, to survive what we feel unprepared to fix.

Delta Brainwaves  provide personal radar and feelings at unconscious levels. In healthy doses, these signals cause empathy, while too much delta activity can pack on another’s baggage. If you read other people’s minds, you probably have more delta activity than most. If you find yourself in trouble for stepping on another’s toes during typical days, you may engage less. 

You can learn to move from one wave kind to another which is more appropriate for the moment. Can you see change and growth possibilities for your life? For example, wide-eyed with beta movement at midnight, you can actually coax your brain into quiet delta thought and parallel places of deep rest or sleep. 

Refreshing new studies show how you can also alter brainwave activity to speed up thought or slow it down in order to plunge into deeper insights.

In fact, Einstein used his brainwaves to advantage in order to help him invent and pound new paths off old walkways, and so can you learn to do the same.
