Alpha Brain Waves Meditation Music: For Creative Thinking

Alpha brainwave music can boost creativity and reduce depression. It goes deeper than traditional meditation music, deeply relaxing your mind by gently entraining brainwave activity.

What do alpha waves do to the brain?

Alpha brainwaves are dominant during quietly flowing thoughts and in some meditative states. Alpha is "the power of now" in the present. Alpha is the resting state of the brain. Alpha waves aid mental coordination, calmness, alertness, mind-body integration, and learning.

What are the four types of brain waves?

Our brain consists of five different types of brain waves: delta, theta, alpha, beta, and Gamma. Each of these brain waves has a standard frequency range in which they operate.

Alpha Brain Waves Frequency Range Between 7-12 Hz.

The Alpha state is an intensely pleasurable and relaxed state of consciousness essential to stress reduction and high levels of creativity. Artists, musicians, and athletes are prolific alpha producers, as are intuitive people, and Albert Einstein was, too.

 What are the benefits of alpha brain waves?

Increasing alpha brain waves can stimulate creativity and minimize depression. Neuroscientists recently correlated an increase of alpha brain waves—either through brainwave entrainment or mindfulness and meditation—with the ability to reduce depressive symptoms and increase creative thinking.

Alpha brainwave training is the gateway to deep meditation. When you’re in alpha, you’re relaxed and creative. Your mind is open to new ideas and possibilities and a more internally focused, self-reflective mindset, such as what happens when we are daydreaming or meditating.

In other words, you must slow down that busy monkey mind and develop robust alpha wave activity before reliably entering the dreamlike theta state.
