BETA brainwaves are the fastest frequencies ranging from 15 Hz up to 38 Hz. Beta is the normal, excited thinking state, active external awareness and thought
processing.

THRESHOLD I waves lie at 14 Hz and are triggered by simple relaxation and slowed respiration.

ALPHA brainwaves are the brainwaves of relaxed, detached awareness, visualization, sensory imagery and light reverie. Ranging between 8.5 Hz and 13 Hz, alpha is
the gateway to meditation and provides a bridge between the conscious and the subconscious mind.

The THRESHOLD II brainwave pattern is a combination of alpha and theta, lying at 8 Hz. Theta waves provide a sense of depth to consciousness (e.g. surrealistic
experiences such as deja vu) and alpha provides the bridge, or link, to the conscious mind so that one is still fully conscious during the experience. Very often this is accompanied by an erasure of short term memory, believed to be a sleep aid.

THETA brainwaves are the those of the subconscious mind. Ranging from 4.5 Hz up to 7.5 Hz, theta waves are present during rem sleep and provide the conscious
experience of deep meditation. During this state, the brain can alter the body to a great degree: release various brain chemicals; alter respiration, metabolism, surface and core body
temperatures; achieve orgasm; contract, expand, and paralyze muscle groups, etc.

The THRESHOLD III brainwave pattern is a combination of theta and delta, lying at 4 Hz. This is the bridge between conscious rem sleep and unconscious non-rem
sleep, and is marked by mild disassociation. Passing this threshold too quickly into the delta state will produce the experience of tripping or falling and result in a rapid, jarring return to consciousness (associated with a beta spike) and a quick return back into the theta sate.

DELTA brainwaves are those of the unconscious mind, the non-rem, deep sleep state, ranging from 3.5 Hz down to 0.5 Hz. When present in combination with other
waves in a waking state, delta waves act as a link or bridge to the regulatory functions of the body, such as the involuntary muscle groups and functions.

The COMPOSITE I brainwave pattern combines theta waves, alpha, and beta waves. This pattern appears during moments of epiphany, at the exact instant of the insight.

COMPOSITE II waves are a combination of alpha, theta, and delta waves. This pattern is associated with deep meditation and focused detachment.

The COMPOSITE III brainwave pattern combines the regulatory delta waves, the creativity of theta waves, the bridging capacity and relaxed, detached, awareness of the alpha waves, and the external attention and conscious though processing of beta waves, all at the same time. It is a brainwave pattern shared in higher states of consciousness, during the
"peak experience" in all forms of creativity expression and performance. This pattern also appears during moments of epiphany.
