Musical Scale showing Brain Waves Octaves

 The different rhythms of the body may also be changed through sound. This is known as entrainment and involves the ability of the more powerful rhythmic vibrations of one object to change the less powerful rhythmic vibration of another object and cause them to synchronize their rhythms with the first object. Through sound, especially chanting or overtone singing, it is possible to change the rhythmic pattern of our brain waves, as well  as our heart beat and respiration.

Different brain wave rates have been equated to different state of consciousness. There are four basic categories of brain waves:

1.      Beta waves, from 14 to 20 Hz, which are found in our normal waking state of mind.

2.      Alpha waves, from 8 to 13 Hz, which occur  when we daydream or meditate.

3.      Theta waves, from 4 to 7 Hz, which are found in states of deep meditation and sleep, as well in shamanic activity.

4.      Delta waves, from 0,5 to 3 Hz, which occur in deep sleep and have been found in very propound states of meditation and healing.

Sherry Edwards claims that the diatonic musical scale can be found in many different areas: 1) It corresponds to brain wave cluster patterns below normal hearing range. 2) The atomic weights of elements found in the human body closely correlates to the diatonic scale. 3) A musical scale using atomic weights of elements as a foundation emulates brain wave clusters at lower octaves.
