I’d rather write than talk. Nobody interrupts! Posting monthly or less now--see below. |
My original purpose for this blog, which I started in August of 2019, was to see if I could maintain consistency, to discover what I want to write about, and to find my writing voice. In January, I started a "niche-less" blog at Wordpress.com where I've published weekly. -- Kit’s Kontemplations . -- I'm preparing to start a Catholic blog on Wordpress.com where I'll post weekly, and another site to put the rest of my writing. I also want to spend more time reading other blogs and offering thoughtful comments, both here on WDC and elsewhere. At most, I will publish once a month at no set time in this blog starting in September of 2020. Thank you to those who have read and rated any posts on this blog. I really appreciate it. I did NOT want to write “about” me on this blog. I wanted to share my interests, discoveries and maybe a few useful insights. If anything I've written helps even one person, whether or not they respond to the post, then this blog has been successful. |
Brainwaves are produced by synchronised electrical pulses from masses of neurons communicating with each other. Their speed is measured in cycles per second and change depending on what we are doing. If we are feeling tired, sluggish or dreamy, the slower brainwaves are dominant. When we are more productive, the wave frequencies are higher. Our brain waves have emotional, neurological and other effects on us. If there is a chronic lack of balance it can cause emotional problems such as depression and anxiety neurological disorders such as vertigo and ADHD, as well as sleep disorders and impulsive behaviours. Based on speed and function, the brainwaves are classed into five types. From slower to faster, here are the types: Delta - realm of the unconscious Theta - realm of the subconscious Alpha - location of intuition, insight and inspiration Beta - site of learning, concentration and judgement Gamma - area of elevated mystics and martial arts masters There are things we can do to alter our brainwave state. These include chemicals, meditation and neuro-feedback. Other ideas include: Doing coloring has similar effect as meditation. Using sound to achieve your desired state with binaural beats Journaling with paper and pen Breaking the multi-task habit Staying hydrated and getting enough rest Is this whole brainwave thing new to you? Are you eager to investigate it further and try out some strategies? Are you skeptical about this new “fad”? Where between eager and skeptical do you fall on the scale?
