Meditation helps to shift awareness from the rational to the intuitive mode of consciousness. Energy healers have to develop the ability to attain meditative mode of consciousness. For someone it seems a completely new experience. Nevertheless, any bio-energy work demands a healer to be in meditative state of mind. Stress and negative thinking or emotions can appear while the brain is in the beta state.
Most adults live and work at the beta-wave frequency or typical working condition.
Next to delta, slow theta waves appear before sleep. They are associated with drowsiness and rapid assimilation of new information. Theta brain-wave frequencies appear in deeply relaxed or daydreaming states. When meditating or practicing yoga people can control their mental states, and manipulate their brain waves producing a memory-triggering creative theta state. Mental phenomena such as hypnagogic imagery, creative thoughts, integrative experiences, and spontaneous memories may be brought with theta state.
