Beta Brainwaves-Your Waking Consciousness

Tweet

Beta brainwaves are what adults operate in most often during the course of their day-to-day activities. They have a frequency of 14-32Hz per second and are used by your conscious mind during the normal course of the day. Kids typically operate in the alpha brainwave range instead of beta which is why some people call it the 'adult brainwave' which is also why kids tend to pick up things quicker as a kid and be more intuitive.

Beta brain waves are responsible for everything from logic, reasoning, alertness, and critical thinking to name just a few. These are all things we need on a regular basis during most things we do as adults.

Here are some of the ways that beta brainwave frequency can help you improve your life by leaps and bounds:

Increased Focus-Everyone has experienced it before where you are trying to think about something but it is just like a fog is on your mind and you just can't quite figure it out. Those times are usually due to a lack of focus to what you are trying to figure out. If you are able to increase your beta brain waves you will be able to increase your focus and more then likely lift the fog in your mind.

Think Quicker-If you can heightened your beta brainwave activity your concentratiion and focus increase which will lead you to be able to think quicker.

Peak Performance-You will reach peak levels of performance athletically as well as academically. This will happen almost naturally with increased levels of energy, concentration, and focus.

Increased Energy Levels-Most people that have lower levels of beta brainwaves tend to suffer from a general lack of energy. A healthy natural way to increase your energy level is to increase your level of beta brain waves.

Increased IQ-Studies show people with increased levels of beta brainwave tend to have higher IQ. This makes perfect sense because with increased focus you will find it much easier to learn new things as well as retain them longer.

Goal Orientation-If you are more focused on the task at hand you will find everything goes a lot smoother

Positive Thinking-With all of these other benefits you will have more positive thoughts and a more positive outlook on things.

The problem start to occur when you have too high a beta brainwave state which can cause a wide variety of problems.

Once you get over 32Hz you will start to feel anxious, nervous, irritable, and a general state of tension and unease. Once you get over 32Hz you will also start to have a harder time focusing but how could you not with all of the other things it causes.

I'm sure you can relate that when you are angry or upset about something you have a harder time learning. Speaking for myself I know anytime I get angry or upset at anything I find it very hard to work or concentrate on anything at all.

When your brain waves go above 32Hz the neurons start to misfire which leads to a disorganized mind. Continued high brain wave frequencies can even cause a nervous breakdown if something is not done. At higher levels the two halves of the brain no longer have any kind of synchronization.

Beta Brainwave Music

Just as the name implies it is music designed specifically to illicit an beta brainwave response. Here is an example I found online.
