The brainwave frequencies
- Delta (0-4 Hz): Occurs in deep sleep and is extremely useful for growth and regeneration.
- Theta (4-7 Hz): The frequency of deep relaxation, and is often reached in the moments after we wake up from the deep sleep.
- Alpha (7-12 Hz): It is a conscious and calm state that allows you to regain energy.
- Beta (12-35 Hz): A bright and attentive state. It's good for the kind of focused attention you need for getting some work done.
- Gamma (35-70 Hz): The sought-after state of flow exists, characterized by a blissful state of peace.
