On Healthy Living

I know… mentioning brain waves and how they affect your healthy living is so New Age.  Trust me, I’m not that New Ageish of a person.  However, after not being able to sleep, a friend of mine told me that I needed to try some music that had specific alpha and theta waves, both which would slow down your brain patterns.

After listening to an hour of synthesizers, oceans and a continuous resonant tone, I was exhausted, and I have never slept better.

The reason why this works is because it slows down the waves in your brain.  We are naturally multi-taskers when we are awake.  From the time that our brains started evolving, we started thinking in twos, mostly because we had to go hunting, catch the berries and make sure that the kids were okay at the same time.

One of the major reasons why many of us have problems relaxing and going to sleep is not because of a medical condition, but simply because we can’t slow down our brainwaves.  When you tune into the alpha and theta waves, it tunes into the parts of your brain that make it hard to sleep.  For those that have more experience with this, you probably know that meditating for twenty minutes every day does the same thing.

Not only will the alpha and theta waves help to slow you down to sleep, but it can also speed you up.  If you are trying to gain some energy for the day, you can use this type of music in order to allow you to relax, then focus and gain energy.

The results are unexplainable.  Get off of your sleep medication or your strange sleeping habits and get an alpha or theta relaxation tape.  It will keep you rested and looking young.
