These electrical voltageshelp our brains reach certain states1, from focused to relaxed.
Theta brain waves happen during a drowsy yet still awake period.
What are theta waves?
“Theta waves have a frequency of 4-8 Hz.

Our brain waves can tell us a lot about how we’re feeling and coping with stress.

“Theta waves can be manipulated through meditation,” reiterates Ruhoy.
Auditory forms of mindfulness likesound bathingmay also be useful for encouraging theta waves.
This is the stage of sleep wherevivid dreamsmay occur.
“Dreams can be influenced by how we manage our minds during the day,” says Leaf.
Once we get into this state,manifestingmay become easier.
The bottom line
We all experience theta wave activity without even thinking about it.
