The brain is said to operate at different frequencies based on the kind of activity that a person is currently involved in. When people are wide awake and active, their brain is said to be in the beta state. People who practice meditation try to bring the brain to a relaxed state which is known as the alpha state. Further relaxation takes the brain to the theta and delta levels which almost all people experience when they are asleep or dreaming.

I'd be able to trace the root of my anger to hurt, for instance. At that point, I could face the situation without judgment and address the real "problem" beneath all of the residual emotion. I felt much more calm this way, and my social dynamics seemed to improve.
