I’m certain that you have at least heard of the various brainwave frequency levels: Beta, Alpha, Theta & Delta.

Well some recent studies have identified more states. Open your mind to…Gamma.

By recording EEG’s from meditating Tibetan Monks - it appears that meditating on Universal Compassion produces synchronous bursts of brain activity around 40Hz.

Here is the lowdown on the Gamma state from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences:

Long-Term Meditators Self-Induce high-Amplitude Gamma Synchrony During Mental Practice

In later posts I’ll discuss some of the other new brainwave frequency discoveries such as HyperGamma, Epsilon & Lambda - how many more frequencies await discovery? I hope that we don’t run out of Greek letters!
