Some of those stimulants are small amounts of alcohol, the nicotine in cigarettes, caffeine in coffee and tea, diet pills, and amphetamines. alpha  8-12 Hertz     Relaxed:   The most widely known and publicized is the Alpha wave.  Most people  equate this wave with ESP, meditation, and all sorts of strange ideas.  The truth is the alpha waves account for only half the story.  Alpha ranges between 7-12 hertz and is prominent  during relaxation mostly with eyes closed, day dreaming, and upon deep self-introspection.  The 1960's made this activity famous when it was found out that cannabis or marijuana, which grew  naturally, induced this state in people.  Scientist have found out that it was the chemical THC that caused this euphoric feeling by being a substitute for the brain's natural pleasure  chemicals which are called endorphins. Out of all the different types of brain waves there is a very interesting range called the Alpha-Theta border.  I've already mentioned  that the Alpha was half the story, well the Theta wave is the other half of a state of mind that brings about creativity, intelligence, and a host of other abilities the brain is capable of doing  when properly stimulated.  It is a state where the central nervous system reduces input from the peripheral nervous system. The lowering of sensory input serves to normally  protect the central nervous system from sensory overload caused by stress or physical damage.  Without these outside functions for the brain to control the brain expands its functioning  powers. The normally unused portion of the brain becomes active and performs at maximum capacity. This range is between 7-8 hertz and this is not so surprising when you learn that the resonant  frequency of the earth and ionosphere is approximately 7.5 hertz.  Our brains evolved within this dynamic field and used it as a standard to function on.  The mind experiences the body  in a half-in half-out state of sleep or detachment.  The feeling is of being conscious of all things around you but the body being in deep relaxation.  Many cultures discovered this  and the methods to achieve this state naturally and artificially.  Many of the worlds religions were founded on reaching this state and devised strict disciplines to do so.  The  Alpha-Theta range occurs during reverie, hypnogogic imagery, meditation, and by self-hypnosis.  The drugs that achieve this state are controlled use of cannabis and hallucinogens. If I remember correctly 10.0 Hz    IS supposed to be a window frequency for serotonin (5ht) release, if this freq was overlaid with one that stimulated the release of adrenaline then  we COULD have MDMA L/S sessions. 10.0 Hz    is the freq used in all L/S research with ADD I have found, and they uniformly say everyone with ADD needs a L/S.  I helped a friend with ADD get  one, and it is helping her keep her job.  She listens to the audio only while working, and has no trouble staying focused.  Now I know why. I know 10.5 Hz, with a secondary bb @ 8.5 enhances  orgasm by orders of magnitude.  Different strokes for different folks." theta   3-7 Hertz      Reverie, imagery, near sleep:  The least  known type outside the confines of the dream research laboratories.  This wave is in the range of 5-8 hertz and is characterized mainly with light sleep, Rapid Eye Movement (REM) dreams, and  hallucinations.  The brain uses this state to exercise itself, somewhat like working out your muscles to make them stronger and to release overall tension.  The drugs that promote this  activity are, on the whole, illegal.  These substances are in the general category of hallucinogens (LSD, Acid, Magic mushrooms, etc...).  Interesting Note: Your brain cells  reset their sodium & potassium ratios when the brain is in Theta state. The sodium & potassium levels are involved in osmosis which is the chemical process that transports chemicals into  and out of your brain cells. After an extended period in the Beta state the ratio between potassium and sodium is out of balance. This the main cause of what is known as "mental  fatigue". A brief period in Theta (about 5 - 15min) can restore the ratio to normal resulting in mental refreshment. "I used to map freqs some years ago and between 5.5 and 5.4 there is a  state of huge calmness that is enormously pleasant. I don't remember exact figure but you can discover it yourself if you experiment for a while. Since brain always oscillate around carrier  frequency so you just feel to what state it pulls you most." Some time ago, Jim Lambert was experimenting with binaural beats, on his Amiga. He had swerved into your 5.5 Hz frequency. After  about ten minutes relaxing and listening, he started hearing this *loud* swish click, swish click, swish click sound. Turns out that it was his heart, with the blood rushing and the valves  banging! delta    0.5-2 Hertz   Sleep:  Delta's frequency can be as low as 1 cycle per month (coma/Ronald Reagan) or even pure direct current (DC).  The outward appearance of this area is dead to the world sleep, no dreaming, and coma occur during this state.  Many people have had more than their share to drink after work or at an office party and had the irresistible urge to just go to sleep, or in extreme instances just to outright pass out wherever you were.  Excessive amounts of alcohol induces the brain into the Delta state as so the body can repair and filter out toxins and poisons within itself.  The body uses this state to put full effort to repair itself from the days activities.  It's significant to know that 2/3's of your sleep time is taken up by this state to complete these repairs and to give the brain time to rest.  Other chemicals that induce this Delta state are known as downers, things like sleeping pills, aspirin, muscle relaxants, and barbiturates.  All these chemicals can be very dangerous if taken in excessive amounts which causes the brain and body to totally relax into death itself .
