Active - Meditation contrasting Pranayama and Brainwave

Here are examples of two contrasting pranayamas and Brainwaves

created when participated which you will learn within Yogic Self Development:

1) Ujjai Pranayama relates to Epsilon brainwave. The sound of the

breath is epsilon. Which correlates to what we referred to in the

context the pranayama examples above as the oceans utter.

2) Brahmari Pranayama relates to Gamma brainwave similar to a

deep bass sound created by a bee or a humming bird.

Ujjai has the abilty to create a deep relaxation based on the oscillation of

Epsilon brainwaves at a lower frequency where the waves are long wide

and harmonising. We can observe this when looking at the waves of the

ocean. This is a dramatic contrast to Brahmari Pranayama, which has a

larger frequency, more cycles of waves. We can have a better

understanding of this when creating the action. Brahmari thus implying a

higher state of meditation. The mind becomes like the static of a television

evoking a blank canvas like state, slowing down the participant’s

perception of time and space.

What happen when we create a deeper resonance when by

conducting both sounds one after the other?

Scientific studies have shown that the body and brain when experiencing

simultaneous sounds or one after the other will go into brainwave

entrainment. As the brain immerses itself within the sounds there will be a

vast resonance and coherence based on the sounds experienced.

Keeping the best method of entrainment is the creation of natural sound

and not electronic sound. Ultimately the creation by our breath and vocal

range sending a vibration across the body developing such coherence

between the respiratory system (breath), heart and brainwave.
