Every second, our brains are producing patterns of electrical activity resulting from a combination of the four categories of brainwaves - Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta - responsible for the flow of information which travels between the unconscious, the subconscious and the conscious states. These electrical patterns determine our level of conscience and perception of every moment, and according to initial measurements recently carried out, they appear to be affected by the use of essential flower essences.

What are brainwaves? The neurons emit electrical pulses at determined frequencies, various times per second, and the waves determine the number of times the neurons emit these pulses:

Delta Waves: From 0.75 to 3

Theta Waves: From 4.5 to 6

Alpha Waves: From 9 to 15

Beta Waves: Above 24

Actual research with the flower essences of Chapada Diamantina reveals that flowers appear to affect and work different combinations of these four brainwaves, by modifying the configuration of the patterns of electrical activity linked to the states of consciousness that accompany them.

The first step in this work was to carry out the measurements of the brainwave patterns, using  Mind Mirror - a modified EEG (a device which measures the electricity in the brain), Created in England by Max Cadê at the start of the 1970s, to accomplish his research on the biological bases of the consciousness.  After obtaining the experimental base line, by measuring the state of the brainwaves produced in induced relaxation, a determined flower essence is administered, observing the type of stimulus this essence generates in the brainwave patters, which enables us to infer, by cross-referencing with the information provided by the Mind Mirror with the verbal report of the individual, the state of consciousness, and the perception that the essence may be inducing.  

This is a very significant study in the area of Vibrational Medicine of Flower Essences, since it demonstrates that these essences may be affecting and creating new patterns of brainwave combinations which, according to the literature, and because flower essences are a subtle energy, may occur without the individual being immediately and consciously aware of them, but even so, they feel captured by a deeper level, even before the clearer perceptions can blossom, producing the changes necessary for greater equilibrium and well-being.

The essence is capable of helping the individual come out a state of the everyday routine, stimulating and opening windows for other patterns to appear. Look, for example, at the graphs of brainwave patterns investigated with the study of the essence Star, before, during and after the use of the flower essence.

 

Star during	DELTA: Where the mind is unable to work. The only thing that does not switch off when the essence is taken. Delta is the instinct that goes beyond the 5 senses that remain. The brain stops to “listen” when the person takes an essence (any essence). This is a graph of the brainwave patterns at the moment essence touches the mouth.
Star before	Star after: General equilibrium at all frequencies of brain activity.  Grounding.  Centers deeply.

 

Thus, the importance is evident, of correlating the different essences with the changes in profile of electrical activity which may be occurring as a result of its use. This will not only validate its application, but also enables a higher degree of reliability in determining its different therapeutic uses.

In some analyses, a relationship is observed between the frequencies which characterize a pattern of Alert Mind, i.e. A reduced Beta frequency and at lower frequencies (19-24), Alpha predominant and highly consistent surges of Theta. The Alert Mind denotes when the communication channels between the conscious, unconscious and subconscious are open, enabling the information to flow between them.

Above this type of mind, there is what is known as the Evolved mind, which is a pattern of total communion between the three levels mentioned above. the conscious, the unconscious and the subconscious. It is an absolute integration of these three levels, a higher conscious, and in deep union with the Existence.
