On this side I want to talk a bit about meditation and to discuss these metronomes sounds so that you understand them,

so that you can incorporate them into your daily meditation practice.

There are five main levels of brain speed that have been identified by researchers. The lowest is called

delta. That's where your brain is oscillating at approximately half to four cycles a second.

Delta is the brain speed of the catatonic state. To all

intents and purposes in delta you're normally unconscious. You have little or no

feeling of your physical body. Most people can't generate Delta as a brain

rhythm without falling asleep. The next level up is Theta. Theta oscillates at

approximately 4 to 6 cycles per second,

meaning that at that speed,

a fair proportion of your brain cells

are oscillating the 4 to 6 cycle waveband.

Of course, the brain constantly oscillates

across various speeds simultaneously.

So when we talk of the alpha or theta state, what we mean is that your brain is predominantly

in alpha or theta at any one particular moment.

Theta is the wave band of the trance state.

In trance, you can feel the sensations of the physical body,
