Beta waves information at Ilchi Lee Day
Excitement, heightened emotional state method by which subjects are trained to control various biological functions, can be used to help people with alcoholism overcome their addiction. Through biofeedback, these people were able to increase lower frequency alpha and theta brain waves, which are associated with a peaceful, meditative state of mind, while controlling higher frequency beta waves. This ability resulted in less depression and fewer cravings for alcohol among the subjects.
One of my students, in fact, is a researcher in the area ot bio-feedback, specializing in measuring brain activity through EEG machines. He was very skeptical about the claimed benefits oi Brain Wave Vibration, like many other scientists might be. But he gave it a try anyway because he was suffering trom a number of ailments and wanted to find a quick stress-reliet exercise that could fit his schedule. After a few weeks of practice, his focus improved, his headaches disappeared, and his shoulder pain subsided. He is now thoroughly convinced that brain waves can be influenced through movement of the body.
It is also clear that even the kinds of thoughts we have can greatly affect our physical health. Scientists demonstrated the effect of the mind on the body more than a hundred years ago.
