Brain Waves: Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta and Gamma
There are 5 types of brain waves and they work almost like musical notes. Some are low frequencies, others are high frequencies. Together they have the power to create harmony. Your thoughts, emotions and feelings are in perfect balance, focused and open to everything around you.
Have you heard someone say something like “I want to train my Alpha brainwaves to be more relaxed and find inner peace”? In fact, people are talking about biofeedback machines that can activate certain brain waves to put them into certain states of consciousness. Well, here we must tread carefully…
When it comes to our brainwaves, the key to authentic health and happiness lies in allowing each to function at their own frequency and optimal levels. We must also remember that they are not static. They change more as they get older. So it is useless to try to train Beta waves for better focus or Gamma waves for better mental health.
The truth is, no type of brainwave is better or more "special" than another. All of them are important because they are the result of the electrical activity of our neurons and mental states.
**Different Brain Waves**
We all know that the brain is an electrochemical organ. In fact, neurologists explain that if all of our nerve cells were activated at the same time, there would be enough energy to turn on a light bulb. Isn't that surprising!
This electrical activity is what is responsible for the different brain waves. It is a complex, fascinating, and wonderful process in which every activity, state of mind, and thought can radiate some kind of brainwave.
Throughout the day, our brain keeps five types of brain waves active. Depending on what we're doing at the time, some brain waves will be more active in some areas of the brain, others less active in other areas, but none of them will be "off" on their own.
For example, your Alpha waves may be intensely active in your frontal lobe at some point, which will make you feel a little anxious. However, these same Alpha waves in the occipital area would mean an ideal state of relaxation. These nuances are good to keep in mind. Now let's look at the different brain waves and what they do.
**1. Delta waves (1-3 Hz)**
Delta waves have the largest wave amplitude and are related to deep but dreamless sleep. Interestingly, it is very common in infants and young children. As we get older, we get less of these brain waves that we produce. Our sleep and ability to relax are getting worse and worse over the years.
In general, Delta brain waves are related to unconscious bodily activities such as regulating your heart rate and digestion.
What if delta brain waves show up at very high peaks on an electroencephalogram (EEG)? It can be a sign of brain damage, learning disabilities, or even severe ADHD.
What if they show up in the stock on the EEG? It may indicate poor sleep.
A healthy delta wave level is good for your immune system, sleep and learning.
**2. Theta Waves (3.5-8 Hz)**
This second type of brain waves is between 3.5 and 8 Hz and is mostly related to imagination, thinking and sleep. Fun fact: Theta waves are more active when we are experiencing very deep emotions.
For example, when we finish a task or task that takes a lot of energy, when we relax and let our imaginations fly, Theta waves take over our brains.
High theta waves may be associated with a depressive disorder or attention deficit.
Low corresponds to anxiety, stress, and low emotional self-awareness.
A healthy level of delta is good for creativity, emotional connection, and intuition.
**3. Alpha waves (8-13 Hz)**
Alpha waves occur occasionally during twilight times when calm but not asleep. When we are relaxed and ready for meditation. When we are on the couch watching TV or relaxing in bed, but before falling asleep.
A high level of Alpha wave can prevent us from focusing and even make us feel like we have no energy.
Low alpha waves correspond to anxiety, stress and insomnia.
**4. Beta waves (12-33 Hz)**
We have now moved from low/mid brain waves to a higher level. We are now in higher frequencies that come from intense neuronal activity. They are as interesting as they are complex. While giving our full attention, they have to make times when we are very awake and associated with the awakening of stimuli.
Activities such as driving, taking exams, and giving presentations are good examples. However, overactivation of our neurons can lead to harmful anxiety and stress.
On the other hand, low level Beta waves will lead to an overly relaxed, relaxed, even depressed state…
The ideal level helps us to be more open and focused. This is the best for solving problems.
**5. Gamma waves (25-100 Hz)**
When you hear the word “gamma”, the first thing that comes to mind is gamma rays, which are famous for their long wavelengths and high electromagnetic radiation. Gamma waves and gamma rays have only one thing in common: their very high frequency.
Neuroscientists are now starting to learn more facts about gamma waves, but little was known about them until recently. Also, they are very difficult to catch on an EEG. They originate in the thalamus and travel at incredible speed from the back of the brain.
Gamma waves are associated with higher cognitive processing tasks.
It has to do with our learning style, our ability to acquire new information, our senses, and our perceptions.
For example, people with mental problems or learning difficulties tend to have less than half of the Gamma wave activity.
High peaks of gamma waves occur in states of happiness.
The REM sleep phase also tends to be characterized by high levels of activity in this frequency range.
As a result, learning about different brain waves allows us to understand that our mental processes, emotions, activities and behaviors generate "energy" in our brain. So the key is to be aware of this, relax and learn to be more open and intuitive and work on emotional management so that our anxiety works in our favor, not against us.
Human Design human types: Generators
Human Design founder RA says, “For me, the Generator has the potential to transform the world tremendously.”
I misunderstood so much what he was trying to say here before, what magnificence he was talking about! I started to realize this as I made observations in my own life as a generator, as I experienced that others were very different from me, and as I tried to live according to my aura in my life.
When I started to experience it myself, I started to witness it myself, to truly be a Generator, to be responsible for the chaos or balance or production/creation in the world in itself. My whole life started to change when I started to personally experience that the aura I have embraces and draws whatever I open my arms into my living space.
I realized that the management of my life was wasted by the strategies of the uncontrolled mind, and that with a single controlled strategy, it began to make sense with what my aura was experiencing: Waiting for an answer! Waiting for what has begun, what is missing, what is half, what needs to be met/completed come to me, without taking refuge in a job, production, creation, action or words… Then answering before the mind's filtering (thought flow starts).
You don't know how many times I've witnessed the miraculous results of my answers to the future because I didn't plan, think, develop expectations, make comparisons or make assumptions... When you start doing this, you begin to experience these miraculous effects. The only thing to look at is this: Do you have a feeling of satisfaction?
I say the only thing to look at because there is a focus of awareness that each of us is constantly looking for, that is, there is a curiosity to make sense of what is going on. The focus of that awareness should be the feeling of satisfaction in it. Not to satisfy the outsiders or to prove to the outsiders that you are satisfied…
If you start to take an interest in the works for which you have this feeling somewhere inside you, you will begin to live and experience the magic of life. If your life creates feelings such as disappointment, disappointment, pessimism, it is likely that you are lost among the countless strategies of the uncontrolled mind, you have difficulty in satisfying the curiosity of your search for meanings about yourself outside.
**So if you are a generator you have two paths ahead:**
**1. Focusing on fulfillment and satisfaction while waiting for life to answer.**
**2. Being lost and frustrated among the strategies of the uncontrolled mind.**
Think about it… While you are enjoying being yourself in such a magnificent structure, can you imagine that the energy you produce works for the good of the world with the answers you give and the frequencies of the satisfaction vibration you hold within you? Could there be a greater pleasure than the pleasure of knowing this structure? While you are taking care of yourself, you will beautify the world with the frequencies you add to the world.
Yes, you read it right, when a generator reaches a sense of satisfaction, it radiates the vibrations and frequencies of that feeling wherever it has access and into the collective consciousness. Just like the vibrational frequencies it emits when frustrated...
For a long time, I have been providing Human Design training and consultancy services, the subject that I had the most difficulty with and observed that the information was misunderstood the most was generators.
Because generators think they are Manifestors… Like Manifestors, they get lost in uncontrolled mind strategies that tend to initiate and push. They don't know how to stop trying to teach something without adding anything from themselves, without giving advice. However, the dominance of the world is shaped by the vibrations produced by the Generators. Can you see that the energy of the Generator, which deserves everything and judges others, surrounds the whole world?
Manifestors, Projectors, Reflectors, those whose sacral centers are undefined, sustainability, service, creation, in short, receive their life energies from the generator frequency... Unfortunately, all Manifestors, Projectors and Reflectors live as if they are Generators. Whereas, if everyone could be themselves, if the Projector could guide the Generator in its use of energy, if the Generators allowed it to guide, if the Manifestor could initiate what pushes the Generators in motion, and if the reflectors waited to be noticed, and of course, if the Generators were to the satisfaction of their own vibrations and knew how to respond, the world would move to a marvelous frequency. In fact, it's nice when we are just ourselves, we have the power of ONE and UNITY. So if I was created as a glass, I must accept being a glass. Without struggling to become a pitcher, I need to feel the radiance of beauty when I come side by side with the pitcher.
Generator aura, which is service-oriented, also generates the energies needed for life to gain sustainability through its sacral center. It has a function that can detect the adequacy or insufficiency of its energy in order for the energy it produces to flow to the right places and to the right services. It's a "Sacral Voice", if it's not lost in the strategies of the uncontrolled mind, waiting for an answer, a voice that reaches the throat with the pressure of the diaphragm from the abdomen and says "uh huh or uh huh". He says “Yes, there is enough energy to answer that” or “Not enough energy”. If the generator is driven by a single strategy (waiting for life to answer), this sound will come up by itself. If he is acting with the strategies of the uncontrolled mind, these sounds that come out easily and thoughtfully do not indicate the adequacy of the energy.
The generator aura is like a mother. He embraces them with compassion, serves, makes sacrifices, does not expect in return, does not ask for thanks, does not wait for the approval of his children, knows that he is ecstatic in a thousand ways to meet the needs. They feed, drink, dress, make up for the deficiencies, answer questions, children get inspiration from the answers they give and what they do, and they learn about life from what they see from their mothers. Every child is a bit like a copy of their mother. Just like Projectors, Manifestors and Reflectors fed from Generators and Generators.
Generator aura is like electrical energy for other types. It's like plugging it into the energy outlets when the phone's battery is running low, picking up your phone when it's full, and checking your way. It's like charging and passing through without looking where the energy comes from, how it comes, why it's coming, whether it fills my phone's battery or not.
Our invisible auras work in an invisible way. Everyone can become aware of their own aura and how it works only by observing its flow in life. There is nothing to lose by trying. If you are a Generator, whether you are a Manifesting Generator, your aura is the same, and instead of managing your life with thousands of strategies, it is enough to look at what you will gain by focusing on a single strategy or what you lose by living based on thousands of strategies. As long as you choose to reach the holistic pleasure of your life, not the instant pleasures of the uncontrolled mind... Instead of developing thousands of strategies and looking for a place in the illusion, realize your place and importance in reality with a single strategy.
Realize how you nurture life as a generator and find fulfillment in every moment of your life. Whatever he focuses on, the generator has an aura that draws him to life and to himself, only when he awakens to his own workings, he witnesses his miracles.
If you are trying to cope with dozens of strategies, your aura will attract the energies that will meet those strategies into your living space. If you have learned to wait for life to respond, your aura attracts forces that will experience a "feeling of satisfaction" in you, your environment, and the world.
If you are a Generator, study a single day; what do you do, how do you think, what do you expect from life and what kind of results do you get?
If you have pessimism, frustration, lack, emptiness, disappointments, stop and read again, again and again, then get ready to embrace life again. If everyone gives their aura their due, much more flamboyant colorful flowers that have not yet existed in the world begin to bloom...
Human Design human types: Manifestors
One of the first shocks I experienced when I started to meet with Human Design was to learn that the person I tried to kill, whom I thought I was, was a Manifestor operation. The behavior that my mind, which created my false self with all the anger and over-aggressive behavior I had at that time, directed/conditioned me to death, convinced me, belonged entirely to the Manifestos:
Starting something without stopping
Giving too much information (making detailed explanations)
Getting angry because what I said wasn't done
Burning others with my anger
Taking responsibility for everything
Trying to impress people with my looks, my behavior and of course my differences
Trying to prove that I am a very strong and important person
go crazy because my word is not listened to
When I discovered that the behaviors I call “me” like these do not reflect my essence but the essence of being a Manifestor, I think a door opened for me to see myself. It turned out that our aura was really important and we had an energy field that was not the same as another. It turned out that the fictions of the mind mechanism were illusions, The mind was writing, we were playing. Our mind is getting in the way of our energetic field and blinding us to ourselves.
As a Generator, I was pretending to have a field that propels and shuts down, like the Manifestor aura, rather than using my energy field that is waiting for me to open its arms. I mean, imagine if my aura opens its arms to embrace it and I push it from my lap while I'm Manifestoring, or it's like I close my arms… Then I was pontificating; "That's how it happens, that's how it happens!" I was getting angry because I was making tons of explanations and no one was listening. Think about someone who opens their arms for a hug but closes their arms when you approach.
Even though our subject is Manifestor, there is a very important reason why I tell it through my own experiences. First of all, 70% of the society has a Generator aura and 9% has a Manifestor aura. While the majority of Generators act as Manifestors, Manifestors can also act as Generators. Someone opened their arms and said, “Come!” Then he knocks the one down, and the other does forty somersaults so that they come into his closed arms. However, if we understand the Manifestor Manifestor, the Generator Generator, what a beautiful life we will go through, what a valuable experience.
As it can be understood from my own life cross-section, Manifestors are a design that exists to initiate a movement, a process with their closing and pushing auras and their auras that push Generators, that is, those who can produce the energy of creation and sustainability, to take action. The Manifestor will initiate the movement, and the Generator will respond, greet, and continue. It is almost impossible to get into their closed auras, to decode them, to make predictions for them. This is why the Manifestor strategy is to “inform”. Before starting something, it must be able to inform what to start so that others can take action. If he does not inform, others will become suspicious because he is unpredictable, and the Manifestor will burn with anger for not being able to move forward. However, if he informs, he leaves the effect that will mobilize others in peace and tranquility, and he discovers himself in the operation of the effect he left. This shows that the manifest must say what to do before it starts doing it.
**Human Design founder RA is a Manifestor and says:**
“The moment we step into our role, our role as good Manifestor, we begin to do what we are here to do; That is influencing those around us and influencing them to the extent that our karma, our destiny, whatever you call it, points to us.”
We cannot do anything without influence. Think about it. If you make yourself a sword it will really have an impact on others, because all we do is make an impact. So, if you're not non-self and you're a Manifestor and you falter once in a while, it's not something anyone knows. Everyone knows because we automatically extinguish this effect. And because we have a closed aura and they never get in and they can't understand us, they make up stories. They're trying to get us out of there.
Someone I said 10 years ago, 15 years ago, probably something I forgot 10 minutes after I said it, came up to me today and said to me, "You have no idea how much of an impact what you said that day!" she can say. This has nothing to do with me being Ra Uru Hu. It's about being the Manifestor. When you meet any human being you have to understand something. You have an influence over them. You may not pay any attention to it. You might think you ran into a random person and were on your way. But you leave a strong impression behind you.
This is what our aura does. Since it is a closed aura and the majority of the population is not used to it, there is something about us that sparks their interest. We are pure strike forces. So consider what would happen to the non-self Manifesto. We are designed to be punished when we cannot be ourselves. Guided by their minds, doing this without letting anyone know, the Manifestor is a truly explosive Manifestor. Naturally, they get angry. They are angry with themselves. They get angry at the world around them. Anger is starting to run deep.
**The manifesto's strategy is to inform.**
A Manifestor who acts by informing experiences both himself and life in peace. The anger and anger of the Manifestors, who act as if they are Generators without information, burns both themselves and life.
Child Manifestors need to initiate something by asking permission, that is, to take action, while adults need to inform what they are standing up to do. Because in order for a Manifestor to perceive his own existence, he must observe those affected by the movement he initiates. The Manifestor, who can see its effect, begins to discover himself. As the Generator, who hears his answers, must discover himself…
What we need to be more enjoyable, more fruitful, more productive, more loving, richer and more productive is this: The generator will not stop making explanations for forty hours, it will only respond, the Manifestor will initiate actions that will find answers by making explanations for forty hours if necessary...
I always say, everything has two sides, so there are two sides of the coin, if you can see one side, you should be able to look at the other side. If you cannot accept one, it is necessary to try to see the other. If your possibilities for one do not allow, it will certainly give a hand for the other. Why am I writing this? Because learning to be a manifestor has two sides. Either you will devote yourself to giving the knowledge of what you are going to do first, that the mind will see it as giving an account and will try to make you forget it very often, or you will look at the other side and attend one of the trainings to live your design. Or you will continue to be angry with yourself, your environment and the world without looking at the coin, and you will miss the opportunities you so desire, such as experiencing peace and tranquility. Choice is always the natural right of the person in the experience.
Which right do you use?
Human Design human types: Projectors
Projectors are types that are difficult to explain and instructive to live. It is difficult to describe because they are quite environmental with their unique attitudes and behaviors. If they are recognized by the environment they are in, they appear or are perceived as someone else, and if they are not, they are even interpreted. It is very important for projectors to be noticed in unfamiliar environments. In fact, they are necessarily noticeable, but for a projector to be able to observe this, they must first get out of living in their mind.
The floodlights, who live everything inside their minds, turn to their environment with their excessive intrusive, arrogant, resentful, cynical and manipulating tendencies. As such, life only gives them "PAIN". However, the purpose of existence of a projector is success. The key to being happy, satisfied with life, and the pleasant development of relationships is proportional to achieving a sense of success.
The way to achieve a sense of success starts with breaking the habit of living in his mind first. Second, he must accept that the feeling of pain arises when it does not reflect itself. Only then is he intellectually gifted, kind and helpful, demanded by others, perceived as a responsible and reliable person, recognized as a person who gives opportunities for inspiration, and invited. And of course, thirdly, he must wait to receive an invitation. Because his strategy is “waiting for an invitation”.
A projector needs life force energy to enter the aura of the Generator and sustain it. The Projector can only provide the power of sustainability in the world we live in, which its own aura does not have, but with the presence of the Generator aura. That's why his first and main purpose in life is to catch the feeling of "success". In other words, caring for the well-being of the Generator. They can access the energy of generators only through the recognition of mutual value and an invitation to enter their processes. That's why the Projector's strategy consists of patiently waiting for an invitation. It is important to be noticed and invited to interact. Only in this way can they gain direct access to another person's energy. This applies to both simple everyday conversations and more complex social interactions.
Personal success depends on its presence in the lives of those who sincerely recognize its value to the Projector. But only a genuine invitation to enter energetically into someone else's process will help manifest the talent of Projection. And then he can move from invitation to invitation, transforming his life into a journey of self-worth, true recognition and success.
Now if there is no Generator, is the Projector suffering? If such questions have started to appear in your mind, do not listen, because I am not talking about such a thing. Everything in life is based on a balance, this balance is not noticed with the habits of living only within the limits of the mind. However, I always say to myself, "Does the chicken come out of the egg, does the egg come out of the chicken?" the story must be found. Therefore, a Projector aura carries a structure that can focus on another and observe and measure the functioning of energy and energy leaks. Thanks to this feature, it provides energy guidance to the generators. Just as the Generator achieves the feeling of satisfaction by gaining the opportunity to discover itself through the answers it gives to others, the Projector discovers itself by focusing and measuring the energy of one another, just like the Manifestors, who can discover themselves when they influence others to act.
Projectors are great organizers, they have the ability to bring people together. They are excellent at channeling energy types because they know how Generators and Manifestors use energy properly. They are also the main intermediaries between Manifestors and Generators because without Projectors there would be no balance between these two types.
As you can see, the Manifestor initiates to activate, the Generator responds to motion, and the Projector displays a structure that measures and improves the quality of motion. Therefore, no one is in need of anyone, there is no such thing as the absence of the other. It is never known whether the chicken or the egg is the chicken, because each of us lives in a universal balance.
Each time the projector ignores its mechanics, it experiences a negative emotion (emotional state) or physical sensation. Projector who tries to help another person on his own initiative, without being invited or asked for that help, inevitably encounters resistance on his part. Instead of acknowledging his worth and gratitude, he is faced with a reaction that leaves him feeling bitter inside. The more social activities a Projector initiates in the unfamiliar place, the more resentment (a feeling of pain or anger experienced over and over again as a result of a real or fictional injustice) gnaws at itself and its surroundings, with other people and the world around it. Experiencing a constant sense of inner pain, the Projector may fall into deep social isolation.
The projector is divided into three in terms of operation, although its auras and strategies are the same. Mental Projector, Classical Projector, Energy Projector. The first and most important development process of all three groups, which differ in their working aspects in life, is to understand their own minds. If a Projector has begun to understand his own mind, it will begin to form around the right invitations and recognitions, perpetuating the sense of accomplishment. However, for a Projector who does not understand his own mind, the feeling of pain, in other words, high anger caused by resentment can make itself felt constantly.
Dear Projector, the only way to see how special, beautiful, valuable and successful you are is to get off those hooks by discovering how, how much and why you are interested in the issues your mind is hooked on. It is observing that everything you do for the good of others, especially the Generators, in areas where you are known establishes your inner balance. And it is that you can guide the energies by receiving the invitations that you are noticed while dealing with them. It is to solve the secret of the universe with those who are ready to hear and listen to you. Because the balance of the world is formed as a result of the interactions that each person has with others while living in his own essence.
Human Design-Human types: Reflectors
Reflectors are very few types that represent 1% of the population. I can say that I have come across a total of 5 Reflector maps among the dozens of maps I have examined. For this reason, I can only write the information I have obtained, since I can't have many Reflector observations. You should know that you will not find my observations as a result of my experience in the Reflector type, because my only experience and observation about Reflectors is that they enter a different mode every month and it is not possible to decipher their characters and habits with their variable personalities.
In a world where one person in a thousand is likely to be a Reflector, both of my neighbor's son-in-laws were Reflectors. While they were in love with their daughters to death for one month, they would burn everyone out with violence and resentment the next month. I don't know if this structure is related to being a Reflector because I haven't had the opportunity to observe enough Reflectors for me to gain clarity, but I have never observed such an instability in any other type.
When we look at the Human Design sages, since all nine energy centers are white in the Reflector map, they have a very high potential to perceive everything that is going on in life. Since there are no active channels in their energy mechanics, their auras have their own unique characteristics: Since they are very receptive on the inside, they seem to be covered with a thin ultra-strong isolation layer from the outside.
All aura types, without exception, experience the influence of transits in the Solar system. However, those who feel this effect most deeply with the Moon connection are the Reflectors. The reflector's strategy is to consciously bring to life the scenario of his life, the transit program of the 28-day lunar cycle.
RA says, "All types, except the Reflector, are the children of the Sun, the Reflectors are the children of the Moon."
This means that while all types feel the interactions in all motion transitions in the Solar System, Reflectors only feel the motions of the Moon passing through many energies during the day. This indicates that the Reflectors are constantly interacting with temporary energies and how these temporary energies determine their behavior, but they can gain awareness by observing themselves. Not only can they observe, but they can literally feel their effects at the level of sensations in the body.
Learning how to use his mutability, the Reflector will be truly amazed at the possibilities that life opens up for him.
What the reflector reflects is the energy of the Moon. Although it is interpreted as reflecting someone to someone, the Reflector does not reflect anyone to anyone, it only reflects the energies of the Moon to life.
Since Ra uses the phrase "like a Teflon pan" in some publications, it sticks to every energy, most of them think that the Reflector sticks on every energy of other people, whereas the energy that sticks is the energies of the Moon, and the energy of the Moon that the Reflector reflects on the others. Reflectors, who are only very sensitive about bodily feelings, can benefit from seeing the health problems of others if they realize that these pains are not their own pain when they begin to experience the pains they perceive when they do not discover themselves. These bodily sensations include not only any human, animal, plant, but also natural disasters. They have a high potential to perceive all bodily pain, as if flesh is being ripped from their body, and they may feel the effects of an earthquake or a flood in their entire body.
The Reflector, who thinks he is like everyone else or tries to be like everyone else, experiences negative emotional states or physical sensations every time he ignores his own interaction mechanics. When the reflector does not live his own nature and is not guided by the Moon cycle, he may have trouble adjusting to life through other people's stereotypes and role models imposed on him.
Reflectors, who are constantly trying to adapt to the conditions, situations or worldview of the people close to them, without knowing anything about the strategy of their type, constantly experience collapses in their expectations about their life and social position. With disappointments;
Subdued
Insecure
imitating others
Hyperactive
gave up on life
they live somehow.
The key to being yourself is to stop identifying yourself with other people, stop owning what you perceive, and try to balance yourself in their form, when the moon allows your cycle to guide. Thanks to his transit activations, he can use the mechanics he acquired from his map and thus learn some new skills for himself. Then life begins to fill with incredible discoveries and surprises for the reflector who begins to be himself.
Confident
Multidirectional
Extraordinary
wise and prudent
satisfied with life
begins to live.
