Laxman Mind Machine
Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta Brain Wave

The rhythms of the Laxman create
waves which your brain will attempt to duplicate. The Laxman programs
offer different brainwave frequencies for different purposes. Neurological
research categorizes basically four brainwaves: beta, alpha, theta, delta.
The "general awareness of permanent alert" (Fritz Perls) is the so-called
"Beta State"
Beta State
The brain oscillates at a frequency of 30 to 13 Hz (cycles per second)
generally resulting in, watchfulness, analytic problem
solving, tension, stress, hectic activity and imbalance. (Little research
has been done in the range from approx. 30 to 500 cycles per second, the
so-called "high beta" or "gamma state", which is allegedly an octave
higher than delta state). Creativity and learning ability are
unfortunately on a low during this state. This state usually occurs
when working with one's hands, driving a car, playing soccer, going
shopping, discussing, etc.
Alpha State
The frequency ranges from 12 to 8 Hz. The Alpha State is a calmer state.
It is characterized by light watchfulness, easy concentration, heightened
learning and memorizing ability, as well as congruence of body and mind.
This relaxed and balanced yet energized and wakeful state is experienced
during light meditation. According to a hypothesis which up to now has
held up under examination, the Alpha State - in contrast to the Beta state
- produces self-calming neurotransmitters. People who are unable get into
the Alpha State on their own because of their high excitability are
lacking them.
Theta State
The brain oscillates at 7 to 4 Hz in a meditative state. It is
characterized by deep relaxation, high creativity as well as strong
creative imagination and easy access to a visionary world. Theta states
are experienced during sleep and deep meditation. Theta waves are also
caused by psychedelic drugs. During this state, one has access to
potential otherwise unknown depths of the subconscious or unconscious
mind. Associations and interconnections are recognized in an
integrated way, or in greater context. Usual perceptual patterns can be
suspended (a noise can be interpreted as visual stimulation).
Delta State
The state of deepest relaxation is in the range of 3 to 1Hz. It is
rarely experiences and generally only occurs in a state of deep sleep,
trance, or deep hypnosis. Outer Body Experiences usually happen during the
Delta State. All these states can be measured by EEG. EEG measuring
has made scientific research of these states possible.
The Laxman mindmachine can guide you
into an alpha, theta or delta state. The more familiar you become
with the Laxman the easier it becomes for you to achieve the desired
state.
The incredible programmability of
the Laxman offers access to numerous programs that can be fine tuned to
meet your specific needs.
