Brain wave patterns, when controlled, can allow you access to advanced states of consciousness. These include psychic advancement, spiritual growth, astral travel, and Reiki healing. You need only to open yourself up to learning to control these patterns and enter into them at will. Reiki is very beneficial to anyone who is trying to advance their conscious mind and awareness.

The first is the Beta wave. This is the conscious mind. Here we suffer from stress, worry, and fears. It is imperative that we start to raise and function on the higher waves that follow.

The second is the Alpha wave. This is the dreaming or unconscious mind. It also helps control our extrasensory perception, subliminal suggestions, and can take us to higher states of awareness. This is only a very minimal state — the first stage. We can access hidden memories, visions of the future, or even past lives. Sometimes we even problem solve something that has been bothering us for weeks and wake up knowing the answer.

The third is the Theta wave. This unlocks the subconscious mind. This wave is even deeper in extrasensory perception and can be the start of psychokinesis.

It is the level that can help you stop pain and reach higher hypnosis levels.

When you are meditating, this is the level you want to reach.

The fourth is the Delta wave. This leads us to the super-conscious mind. This wave is found during levels of deep sleep. At this level is where your spiritual power, wisdom, and experience become available to you. You can contact your spirit guides, see past lives, travel astrally, and connect to your higher mind.

As you practice self Reiki each day, take some time to feel the energy flowing in and around you. You will soon become aware of the different brain waves and begin to figure out which one you have accessed.
