Lessons in Positivity
06. States of Consciousness
We have seen in an earlier blog titled 'The Genie Within' The Genie Within, that our mind can be divided into three parts. These parts are the conscious, the sub-conscious and the unconscious. The contents of these parts and how they function and serve us is explained in the blog.
Now we are proceeding to the topic of states of consciousness. They are named or labelled Beta, Theta, Delta and Alpha States of Consciousness.
Beta State of Consciousness : In this state we are wide awake. We can see, hear, feel, smell and taste. Our rational and logical mind is also functioning in this state.
Theta State of Consciousness : The theta state of consciousness is marked by we being able to bounce back to the beta state by stimuli sensed by ear and touch. We are likely to be awakeend by the ring of our phone, a knock on the door, someone calling out our name, or by someone touching us / shaking us. We revert to the beta state when the stimulus crosses a tipping point.
Delta State of Consciousness : This is the state we experience when we are in deep sleep. We are not awakened by mild or moderate stimuli of the types listed above. The sensory centres of our brain have been shut down and only autonomous functions (functions of the heart, lungs, and other internal organs) are working.
Alpha State of Consciousness : This is a patch of consciousness between the Beta State and the Theta State. It is experienced by us when we are drowsy, deeply relaxed, in the moments before falling asleep, during the few moments when we are waking up, or when we are day dreaming.
These then are the four states of consciousness. A person who has mastered the art of practicing positivity has learnt techniques to message the subconscious using the Alpha State of Consciousness.
