Brain Waves
The most important scientific discovery regarding self development is the four different brain wave states that you access continuously throughout your day. Improving your ability to shift into deeper states of awareness accelerates the task of processing personal memories and raising awareness of patterns that no longer serve you. Over time and with regular practice your ability to traverse the deeper regions of the mind will activate new senses which will create a whole new adventure in your self discovery process.
The Beta brain wave frequency ranges from 14 ? 40 hertz and can be linked to the physical body and the actions that drive you forward in the moment. When existing in the Beta state, life is simple, quick and straight forward. This is a beautiful performance state that letÕs you feel alive and connected with your family, friends and external surroundings.
Alpha is the next brain wave state measuring from 8 ? 13 hertz. Alpha can be linked to your emotions and is activated when you slow yourself down out of the moment. This state is utilized to connect and clear emotions out of memories from your past and also the present moment.
Theta is the second deepest state ranging from 4 ? 7 hertz. Theta is associated with your mind and activates when you are trying to solve information. In order to access highly creative thoughts, connect new information from within as well as shift beliefs and patterns, you need to access the theta state.
Delta is the deepest and slowest brain wave state measuring less than 4 hertz. Delta is deeply associated with the spirit and allows you to experience yourself and your environment as a witness with no judgement or attachment. With no physical, emotional or mental attachment, you gain the ability to remove yourself completely from the experience and enjoy the calmness of silence and inner peace.
It is important for you to realize that everyone accesses these states continually throughout the day. The following is an example you might experience at work that shows how fast you can move through these states and what each state is for.
Beta is the state you are in when you are at work and doing your job. Your boss comes in and tells you that the report that needed to be done by next week is now due by tomorrow. Your body goes into an instant shock that lasts only a fraction of a second; you take a deep breath in.
Your brain slows down into the alpha state, as you feel confusion and panic set in. You express yourself in an emotional state, not wanting to accept the changes. Unfortunately that is the way business goes, you finally surrender to the new deadline.
Not knowing what to do next you sink into your chair with your head back. Another deep breath with a sigh puts your body and mind into an even deeper state. ÒHow am I going to accomplish this?Ó Your questions are evidence of the links from your emotional surrender to your mental surrender as your brains crosses over from Alpha to Theta. Your mind starts processing how to accomplish your task, ÒIf I stop this project and get some help, I will probably have to skip coffee break, but it should be just enough time to get the report doneÓ. Accessing the Theta state allowed you to become creative and solve the information needed to fulfill your task.
Having found a way to solve the dilemma, you emit a sigh of relief, triggering you into your delta state. You rest for a moment as the energy clears and you feel the inner peace and satisfaction flow through you. You take a moment to overview the last few hectic minutes and take pride in your accomplishment.
You flash a big smile followed by a deep breath in to activate the body once again. Beta kicks in hard now that all of your ducks are in a row and your plan is set forth. You are back in the moment thriving at another day of work. Your transformation through the 4 brain wave states is now complete and you are functioning within beta once again.
This example highlights your ability to flow in and out of these 4 brain wave states continually throughout your day. Understanding this process is vital for you to be able to catch yourself if you get stuck in one state. Simple techniques can then be utilized to help you move through brain wave states which prevent you from reaching the beta state where you are fully functional.
You need to understand that this is a complete process that must be done in every experience that you go through. Your memories are filled with experiences where you have become stuck in one of these brain wave states. Whenever you become stuck, even though the experience has passed in regular time, within your brain, these memories are still active and influencing you everyday. In this book you are going to learn techniques that will help you move through this process in the moment and techniques to assist you in releasing past memories.

An example of becoming stuck in specific states using office politics.
Beta - Have you ever noticed that after any new policies are made at work, it takes a while for people to adhere to those changes?

If this is you, you are caught somewhere along the developmental cycle and you are resorting back to your original pattern.
Alpha - Everyone has seen someone that is so emotional about some mishap that occurred and the drama that is created from it. If this person is you at anytime, you are caught in the alpha state and not able to move through it.
Theta - Becoming stuck within this state usually consists of a lot of gossip about not doing something proper or he/she doesnÕt know what they are doing, etcÉ If you experience yourself in this type of judgement, you are stuck in theta state.
Delta - We all know someone that always talks up what their accomplishments were. If you catch yourself bragging all the time, you know that you are caught in the Delta state.

The understanding of the brain wave states is essential for developing a diagnostic within your own mind that allows you to catch yourself when you become stuck. Once you realize where you are stuck, you can then use techniques to once again return back into the moment.
L.O.V.E. Technology is designed to walk you through this development process automatically. Although you are always opening up new experiences, there are plenty of experiences you have gone through in your life that have not been completed. Inceasing the number of L.O.V.E. Chargers that you use will accelerate this process to free your mind of stresses from the past and enable you to process information faster in the moment elliminating the chance of becoming stuck in any brain wave state.
