Associated Mental State
|
Beta |
12hz - 38hz |
Wide awake. This is generally the mental state most
people are in during the day and most of their waking lives. Usually,
this state in itself is uneventful, but don't underestimate its
importance. Many people lack sufficient Beta activity, which can cause
mental or emotional disorders such as depression, ADD and insomnia.
Stimulating Beta activity can improve emotional stability, energy
levels, attentiveness, concentration and in some cases may even
increase your IQ!
|
Alpha |
8hz - 12hz |
Awake but relaxed and not processing much
information. When you get up in the morning and just before sleep, you
are naturally in this state. When you close your eyes your brain
automatically starts producing more Alpha waves.
Alpha is usually the goal of experienced mediators,
but to enter it using NP2 is incredibly easy. Since Alpha is a very
receptive, absorbent mental state, you can also use it for effective
self-hypnosis, mental re-programming, accelerated learning and more.
|
Theta |
3hz - 8hz |
Light sleep or extreme relaxation.
Theta can also be used for hypnosis, accelerated
learning and self-programming using pre-recorded suggestions.
|
Delta |
0.2hz - 3hz |
Deep, dreamless sleep. Delta is the slowest band of
brainwaves. When your dominant brainwave is Delta, your body is
healing itself and "resetting" its internal clocks. You do
not dream in this state and are completely unconscious. |

Nerve Signaling – An Introduction
to Nervous System
The nervous system in the human body is made up of billions of nerve cells, or neurons, organized in various networks. The majority of these neurons are located in the brain, brain stem and spinal cord, which constitute the so-called central nervous system (CNS).
This network of interconnected neurons distributes messages as electrical impulses between the body and the brain. Messages that are received by the brain include sensory impulses that inform the brain about, for example, heat, pain or location of a part of the body. Conversely, messages are also sent by the brain to different parts of the body in order to elicit a muscle contraction that, for example, moves the hand from a burning flame.
To understand how the electrical impulse is being forwarded along the neural network, we need to take a closer look at the neurons.
