Two Keys to Effective Meditation
One can choose among several goals for meditation—simple relaxation,
inspiration, visionary experience, and so on. The highest goal, in my
opinion, is to reach that place where everything disappears except
pure awareness, a state of awareness of nothing but awareness itself.
Metaphysics offers numerous methods and techniques for meditation. I
have studied and used almost all of them. But it is science that
provides what I think is the most helpful key to effective meditation
by describing the territory.
I want to discuss these keys: knowing the territory, and understanding
the technique.
Scientists have named four wavebands of brainwaves: Beta (our ordinary
material reality), Alpha (daydream and imaginary reality), Theta (our
dreaming reality), and Delta (a combination of the first three where
extremely vivid realities are experienced). The frequency or speed of
these waves is fastest in Beta and progressively slower down to Delta.
We can identify the territory using these four descriptions. Most
people are familiar with the first three, and many have also
consciously experienced Delta.

A very good example of the trickle 'down' effect, where science is
catching 'up', and always is was. !
