Meditation is the do of lowering one’s brain incidence from a waking Beta state to a slower Alpha state. Just as a heart beats a sure number of beats per minute, the brain pulses a certain amount of brainwaves per second. In the Beta waking state, brainwaves vary from 15 to 40 cycles per second. In the Alpha state, brainwaves vary from 9 to 14 cycles per second.
Beta is the normal state for waking thoughts and every day activities as well as talking, working, and shopping. Beta is the state most people are in when in a working mode. Alpha is the slower state where a person can reflect, meditate or consider thoughts.
