UNDERSTANDING BRAIN WAVE?
Your brain is made up of billions of brain cells called neurons, which use electricity to communicate with each other.
The combination of millions of neurons sending signals at once produces a significant amount of electrical activity in the brain, which can be detected using sensitive medical equipment such as an electroencephalogram (EEG).
This electrical activity of the brain is commonly known as a Brainwave pattern, because of its cyclic, ‘wave-like’ nature.
You can train your brain to change your brainwaves by learning meditation and relaxation techniques. However, it can take weeks, and for some people even years to experience the proven and powerful benefits of brainwave entrainment through meditation alone.
TYPES OF BRAIN WAVE PATTERN?
Brain waves are measured in cycles per second (Hertz; Hz is the short form). We also talk about the "frequency" of brain wave activity.
The lower the number of Hz, the slower the brain activity or the slower the frequency of the activity.
1.Delta waves (below 4 hz) occur during sleep.
2.Theta waves (4-7 hz) are associated with sleep, deep relaxation (like hypnotic relaxation), and visualization
3.Alpha waves (8-13 hz) occur when we are relaxed and calm
4.Beta waves (13-38 hz) occur when we are actively thinking, problem-solving, etc.

WHAT IS BINAURAL BEATS?
There is also a shortcut to getting the best from your brainwaves by using an audio tone known as binaural beats.
Binaural beats effectively entrain and synchronise your brainwaves to enhance any specific brainwave pattern. This allows you to rapidly enter states of relaxation, focus, high-energy, or meditation whenever you want.
HOW THEY ARE IMPORTANT?
At the root of all our thoughts, emotions and behaviours is the communication between neurons within our brains.
Our brainwaves change according to what we’re doing and feeling. When slower brainwaves are dominant we can feel tired, slow, sluggish, or dreamy. The higher frequencies are dominant when we feel wired, or hyper-alert.
