Energy emitted by the brain is represented by brain waves, which are classified into different categories depending upon the frequency. From the gamma waves, which characterize an overly excited state, to delta waves, which correspond to a state of deep sleep, these waves represent your brain activity.
Alpha waves, which occur when your mind and body are at rest, free from tension and stress, often represent a state of high creativity. This is an optimal mental state in which to process information. If we could maintain the Alpha wave state in our everyday lives, instead of only briefly during meditation, we would be better able to deal with our own emotions and the emotions of those around us. Ilchi Lee says that we would even have enhanced intellectual and academic abilities.
Vibration Training uses sound to induce an Alpha-like mental state. The sound Om also helps maintain harmony and balance of your internal organs. As with light and vibration, sound has a profound influence on every cell in your body. The act of giving voice to inner energy is called “Toning!’ According to Dr. Don Campbell of the American Sound Education Health Research Institute, “Toning” increases oxygen supply and enhances relaxation of the body by facilitating the flow of energy. Sound or voice is a very effective way to slow the flow of thoughts and emotions and create space in which to concentrate on your body, mind, and energy during Yoga Practice.
