In this episode, we explore what modern neuroscience reveals about how meditation changes the brain. Using EEG research, I break down the five main brainwave types—delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma—and explain how each one behaves during waking, sleeping, and meditating.
You'll learn how meditation shifts the brain toward a state of relaxed alertness—a balance between calm and awareness—and how these measurable changes differ from both deep sleep and active wakefulness.
