The Phenomenal Effects of Gamma Brain Waves

People with very high levels of gamma activity are exceptionally intelligent, compassionate, and have strong self-control. IQ scores of people with high gamma wave activity are correspondingly high.

High gamma activity also correlates to a state of peak performance.

Elite athletes, exceptional musicians and high achievers in all areas produce far more gamma waves than average.

The benefits of producing the gamma frequency are:

• Increased memory recall. People with high gamma activity have exceptionally vivid and rapid memory recall.
• Increased sensory perception. When the brain produces gamma waves, the senses are heightened. Food tastes better; vision and hearing sharpen; sense of smell becomes more powerful, and your brain becomes far more sensitive to all sensory input. This makes for a much richer sensory experience and a better perception of reality.
• Increased focus. In the gamma state, your brain is able to assimilate sensory information quicker and with greater sensitivity and more accuracy. People with high gamma activity can recall everything about any memorable event – the food they ate, the names of people they met, the music they heard, the conversations, the air temperature, etc.
• Increased processing speed. One of the most remarkable properties of the gamma state is the processing speed: the brain is able to process incredible amounts of information very quickly, remember it, and retrieve that memory later. 
• Increased creativity. Gamma waves are present during REM sleep and visualization.
• Increased happiness. People with high gamma activity are naturally  happier, calmer and more at peace. This acts naurally as an anti-depressant. People who suffer from depression typically have lower gamma activity.

Scientific studies on Gamma Brain waves 

One of the most famous studies on meditation was performed with Tibetan Buddhist monks and Celestine nuns. Both groups demonstrated the ability to produce gamma waves during meditation.

The studies showed a significant increase in brain activity in the left prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain associated with self-control, happiness and compassion. It also showed reduced activity in the amygdala — the brain’s fight or flight center. This suggests that meditation can actually make you a happier and more compassionate person.

Something remarkable happened when the monks in the study were asked to focus on feelings of compassion. Their brains immediately moved into the gamma frequency in a rhythmic and coherent pattern.

As you meditate with the help of meditation music, you may begin feeling that wonderful warmth of oneness where you lose the sense of self and “melt” into universal consciousness.

Hang on to that feeling. Focus on it. Expand on it. Embody it.

Feel love emanating from you and permeating you. Focus on love…and you will soon feel the ecstasy and bliss of gamma!

How to produce more Gamma Brain Wave activity 

You are probably wondering how you can experience increased mental processing, happiness, better perception of reality, incredible focus, better self-control and richer sensory experience that comes with being in gamma? The answer is simple: meditate. For a personalized, guided meditation, book a Soul Integration session. 

Neuroscientists believe that people can train themselves to produce more of the gamma frequency. In fact, by focusing on compassion and love, we can increase our gamma output.

Meditation sharpens your mental abilities, but by learning to facilitate the production of more gamma brain wave activity you can begin to utilize your brain to its fullest capacity.

It’s as simple as putting on your headphones and using your favorite meditation audio to gently guide you into a relaxed state. Once your brain and body are relaxed, focus on love and compassion. Simplicity at its best.
