How to Make Your Brain Generate Theta Waves
Binaural Beats
It is not easy to generate theta waves yourself as it does take some amount of practice. There are some experts that suggest the best way is to listen to specially prepared music. These are binaural beats. Two slightly different ranges of hertz are played in each ear.
For example, if you play 410Hz in one ear and 400Hz in the other, your brain will align with the 10Hz frequency. Theta waves run from 4-8 Hertz. However, if you want to tackle one of the three areas listed above, there are different levels that target these areas.
- 5-6Hz – relaxation
- 7-8Hz – creativity and learning
“Theta activity was induced by a 6-Hz binaural beat. Moreover, the pattern of theta activity was similar to that of a meditative state.”
Meditation
Use this method to entrain your brain to produce theta waves.
Focus on your breathing which will enable you to be in the present moment. Concentrate on the sounds around you and be aware of your surroundings. You can focus on an object or simply let your mind be still. If any thoughts come into your mind, let them drift away as you remain in the present. Feel a deep sense of relaxation, but don’t force it. You should not try and be calm, just be mindful and aware.
Researchers believe that training our own brains to produce the brainwaves we want is the next step in our evolution. Whatever your thoughts on the subject, it is surely a wonderful way of increasing our natural ability.
