Increased alertness, awareness and relaxation through Shambhavi Mahamudra
Neurophysiological research studies on alertness, awareness and relaxation using EEG revealed a substantial increase in delta and theta brain waves and markedly reduced beta and alpha brain waves measured after 21 minutes of Shambhavi Mahamudra Practice.
Increase in Delta and Theta waves are associated with deep relaxation and higher levels of mental focus. Reduced beta waves are associated with reduced mental tension and anxiety. Reduced alpha waves in conjunction with increased theta and delta waves are associated with conscious awareness of the subconscious mind.
These results support a drop in stress and anxiety, a boost in mental alertness and focus, and an increase in self-awareness as a result of just 21 minutes of daily practice.
