The natural electromagnetic environment of the Earth, including Schumann waves, has played a crucial role in biological development over millions of years. The absence or deficiency of these frequencies in our surroundings can induce disturbances in general well-being, such as dizziness, headaches, changes in pulse, and alterations in breathing.
The body requires both biochemical and biophysical nourishment for life. Over the course of evolution, Schumann frequencies have become vital biophysical nourishment and the natural pacemaker for our brainwaves.
Through measurements of human brainwaves using EEG, it can be observed that the brain produces electromagnetic waves in the range between 1 and 40 Hertz. Different states of the human in terms of brainwaves can be described as follows:
Delta Waves: Delta waves are slow brainwaves with a frequency of about 0.5 to 4 Hertz. They typically occur during deep sleep or non-REM sleep phases. In this state, the individual is in deep sleep, and physical recovery and regeneration take place.
Theta Waves: Theta waves have a frequency of about 4 to 8 Hertz and are typical of light sleep, daydreaming, and relaxation phases. In this state, creative thoughts, memories, and emotions may be more easily accessible. Theta waves are also associated with meditation and relaxation techniques.
Alpha-Wellen: Alpha waves have a frequency of about 8 to 13 Hertz and occur in a state of relaxed wakefulness when someone has their eyes closed or is calmly meditating. It is a state of inner calm and tranquility associated with increased creativity and concentration.
Beta Waves: Beta waves have a higher frequency of about 13 to 30 Hertz and occur when the mind is awake and alert. They are characteristic of active mental activity, concentration, problem-solving, and analytical thinking. Beta waves can be subdivided into various subgroups, such as Beta-Low (13-17 Hz) for relaxed alertness and Beta-High (18-30 Hz) for intense mental activity.
Gamma Waves: Gamma waves have a frequency of more than 30 Hertz and are associated with higher cognitive processes, learning, expanded consciousness, and the connection between different pieces of information. They are closely linked to attention, memory, and creative thinking.
Schumann waves, which lie in the range of 7.83 Hertz (the main resonance frequency between the Earth and the ionosphere), can be associated with relaxation. Some studies suggest that exposure to Schumann waves can have a calming effect and reduce stress levels. It is believed that Schumann waves regulate the sleep cycle and may have a positive impact on sleep quality. A natural Schumann resonance environment can help deepen sleep and reduce sleep disorders.
Some studies also suggest that exposure to Schumann waves can activate the brain and enhance cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and concentration. Thus, exposure to Schumann waves may have a positive effect on mood and help alleviate anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Furthermore, some researchers believe that increased exposure to artificial electromagnetic radiation, such as that from mobile phones and 5G, may impact the natural Schumann resonance and consequently have negative effects on the brain and overall health. Schumann waves may thus serve as a kind of protective function against these artificial radiations.
