Brainwaves They are rhythmic or repetitive patterns of neural activity in the central nervous system.. that sound a little hard, so let's explain it in another way. Every thought or emotion creates specific impulses in your brain. During sleep, your brain is in another state than when you are awake - its brain waves frequency has changed and so it works a little differently. When you will learn to silence your brain, you will learn at the same moment to switch from Alpha waves into Theta. Below, you can see what brainwaves are used for. We will also listen to every single one of them so you might pick up your headphones and we will try to meditate with them for a short time. Alpha Frequency: 8-13.9 Hz https://youtu.be/ZrGrYyScwj

Trance State - Theta-Gamma Synch
A trance state is a state between dream and reality .. the moment just before you will fall asleep is exactly the emotion you are looking for. You are still aware of all happening around you - but at the same moment; you are connected with both worlds - astral and physical. The trance happens also in meditation when you switch between theta and gamma. Try to catch a moment just before falling asleep - you can then see and hear another side too. And with this ability, all the fun will begin.
Now, from this lesson, you have a simple task: try to meditate with one of these links and note your own experience.
