How to Rewire Your Brain (FULL PROCESS)
(Written by @EgoDriv on Twitter)
let's cover the basics first,
what you need to know is that your brain is literally an electric field.
What are brain waves?
Electrical impulses that happen in one's brain; they reflect one's mental and emotional state but also dictate our behavior and ability to comprehend and execute.
They happen at various frequencies BUT there is a way to keep control over them.
The human brain has 5 different types of brainwaves; categorized depending on their frequencies
Lowest to Highest
Delta (1-3 Hz)
Theta (4-7 Hz)
Alpha (8-12 Hz)
Beta (13-38 Hz)
Gamma (39-42 Hz)
Forget about the others, what we want to focus on today is Theta waves for they are the learning frequency.
It's by making the most out of these that you can reprogram yourself and rewire your brain.
Theta waves:
Often associated with creativity, Theta waves are also associated with mental inefficiency.
This low level of frequency is the state between being awake and sleeping.
This is why we feel tired and inefficient right after waking up or when we get sleepy.
The Theta frequency however is considered to be the most controllable as it is the perfect frequency for the brain to learn and acquire knowledge. As it gets stimulated with new information that it absorbs, it reaches the next level of frequency. This is the learning frequency.
When you understand how your brain works and the electrical field it is; you can work on controlling its performances
The first thing you need to understand is that; in periods of tiredness or confusion (before bed or in the morning) the brain is in perfect condition to learn.
There are two ways for the human brain to learn and absorb the knowledge that it won't forget:
-Repetition
-Hypnosis [A mental state like sleep, in which a person's thoughts can be easily influenced by someone else]
Hypnosis state
The closest one can naturally get to a hypnosis state is in the morning or before going to bed; but why?
The low energy of those periods of time; combined with a state of unclarity and tiredness results in the brain only radiating Theta waves
Why does it matter?
Let's understand the importance of Theta frequencies.
Before the age of 7, the human brain cannot go beyond Theta frequencies. (It just can't.)
Which makes it in a state similar to hypnosis; a state of creativity yet mental inefficiency.
When the brain is on a Theta frequency; it reaches a state of absorption and stocking.
It basically feeds the subconscious and memory everything it receives and stocks them in there.
In other words; during the Theta state our brains are FRESH.
It's open to learning.
They often tell you to read stuff you want to keep in mind either before going to bed or right after waking up, right?
If that information will be printed in your mind almost certainly and become easier to remember..
Then how about you feed enhancers to your brain at that time.
Repetition:
We all know repetition is a precursor of learning.
If we now know when is the best brain state to learn; we know when the repetition should occur.
For any given skill; it is during the Theta state that one should try and feed information to the brain.
now we are going to add another ingredient to this process:
