The benefits of relaxation techniques

27) Guided imagery is a relaxation technique to take client into Alpha state

28) Progressive muscle relaxation can be done prior to Hypenotherapy session to put the client in Alpha state

29) Your brain produces delta waves when you are completely relaxed in deep sleep. Delta waves are essential for your body to heal and restore during sleep.

30) Brain waves can be measured using electroencephalography, or EEG, and magnetoencephalography, or MEG.

31) With a predominance of theta waves (4–8 Hz) one’s focus is on the internal world. This state is a world of hypnogogic imagery where a number of alpha–theta patients have encountered an “inner healer” who represents their shift out of victim

32)  Alpha brain waves (8–13 Hz) may be considered a bridge from the external world to the internal world, and vice versa.

33) Numerous EEG studies suggest that there are particular brain wave patterns and brain structures associated with creative problem solving, or at least specific phases within the problem-solving process

34) The brain wave patterns are unique for every individual.

35) When someone is in THETA waves in Hypnotherapy , He is in Deep Trance. (4 to8HZ) and he will be deeply relaxed with complete awareness

36) When someone is Theta state in SLEEP, he may be in 4-8 Hz and Deeply relaxed and Inward focussed.

38) When someone is in Alpha state during sleep , he may be in 8-12 Hz and feel very relaxed with passive attention

39) The Beta Waves have 12-35Hz and people start feeling relaxed when they are near 12 or 13 Hz

40) There are five Frequency band in EEG namely, Gamma, Geta , Alpha ,Theta and Delta

42)

60) Limbic  system Sometimes referred to as the “emotional brain”

61) Threats to survival are first addressed by the primitive brain (Reptilian Brain)

62)  `Reptilian Brain' of the brain is responsible for the most basic survival functions, such as heart rate, breathing, body temperature, and orientation in space.

63) Neuroscientist Paul D. MacLean formulated TRIUNE BRAIN in the 1960s, detailed in his 1990 book The Triune Brain in Evolution

64) The Autonomous nervous system is composed of 2 anatomically and functionally distinct divisions, the sympathetic system and the parasympathetic system

65) The parasympathetic system regulates “rest and digest” functions.

66) The sympathetic system controls “fight-or-flight” responses.
