There are four brainwave patterns, which all people have they are beta, alpha, theta and delta. Let me explain a little what each one is. Beta is the normal waking conscious state, wherein every day alpha is a relaxed, drowsy self hypnosis State Theater is the deep self hypnosis and light sleep state and delta is the deep sleep or coma state. Each brainwave pattern has a particular vibrational range. Beta, which is our normal conscious waking state is usually be between 14 and 30 hertz. Alpha is a hypnotic state where positive imagery and affirmations can be placed into the subconscious mind and is where our brain is operating in the seven to 14 hertz range.
Theater is a deep hypnotic and deep meditation state where our brain is operating in the three to seven hertz range. And delta is deep sleep with a brain generates brain waves of point five to three hertz. This occurs during our sleep cycles at night. The subconscious mind is a programmable hard drive like that in our computers into which all our life experiences are downloaded. It is also very interesting to note that children from the age of birth to two years are in the Delta brainwave pattern. And when children are two to six years old, the main brainwave pattern they show is theta and from six to 12 years old, the main brainwave pattern is alpha.
So children from birth to 12 years old Basically in hope in hypnosis the whole time and because of this, they are very suggestible. This shows Also, while we form most of our subconscious mind patterns and beliefs in our early years, as our minds are like sponges, and the messages we get from our external world, both positive and negative, go directly into the operating system of our subconscious mind. This is also why we need self hypnosis to induce the brainwave patterns of alpha and theta to replace old outmoded and limiting beliefs with positive and powerful new beliefs. And why we commonly find it difficult to change these beliefs in the normal state of waking beta consciousness. Self Hypnosis will also change your daily negative self talk to positive empowering self talk. When someone achieves an alpha or thesis state, the subconscious mind is ready to be programmed.
At this point, affirmations and positive imagery can be used to send effective messages to a sub subjects subconscious mind to facilitate a desired change. Positive imagery is especially effective because the subconscious mind works best with symbols and imagery. The conscious mind is where we create and have new thoughts, visions and plans for the future filled with love health, happiness and prosperity. As I said before, the subconscious mind on the other hand is like the hard drive of a computer. And our beliefs are like the software that make up our operating system. And is where all out pre programmed thoughts and behaviors lie.
This is why having your dreams desires in your conscious mind is not enough. They need to be placed into the subconscious deep mind where they will continue to work in the background, like the operating system in your computer. In self hypnosis, you have less negative and intrusive thoughts and you're in a more suggestible state where you can place positive thoughts and create new positive beliefs. self hypnosis helps you to move past the conscious critical part of your mind, which is your normal waking consciousness. With all the mind chatter and negative self talk that usually accompanies that you move past the chattering critical mind into the operating system of the subconscious. In self hypnosis, your brain will be in an Alpha Theta brainwave pattern in the frontal lobe of your brain, where you are in a deep state of relaxation and heightened awareness.
When you enter self hypnosis you enter slower more coherent brainwave patterns and normal waking consciousness and also in scientific studies via an electro in Cavalia graph, or e g machine. It is shown that in self hypnosis, there is a unification between the front and back of the brain, as well as between the left and right sides of the brain, which indicate that people are feeling happier and more whole. Research has also shown that self hypnosis is a skill that you can improve the more you keep practicing
