Health, Relaxation & Brain Wave states
Have you had the following 2 thoughts or something of a similar nature recently?
“There is so much to do”
“Time just seems to disappear”
If so you might be interested to know a little more about the relationship between Health, Relaxation & Brainwave states.
In an increasingly busy and exponentially expanding world knowing how to maximise your downtime is such a priceless skill especially as it is directly linked to your Health & Wellbeing.
When we are fully engaged in focused, fast thinking activities the Beta brainwaves are high (12-35 Hz1). Whilst this is great for achieving objectives and striving towards our desires, to maximise the benefits of our relaxation and downtime the Alpha (8-12 Hz2) and Theta (4-8 Hz3) brainwaves are desirable.
In Alpha brainwave states the Body and Mind are in a state of deep relaxation which allows the immune system & cellular activity to be released from the effects of stress. Alpha brainwaves states also lead to creativity as well as problem solving abilities.
Whilst the Theta brainwave state is achieved by everyone in sleep - advanced meditators, artists and highly creative people can access this state during wakefulness.
The other brainwave states are Delta (0.5-4 Hz4), Gamma (38-200+ Hz5), Epsilon & Lambda.
Neuroscientist Dr Jeffrey Fannin writes that,
“This Epsilon state of consciousness (the state Yogi's go into when they achieve "suspended animation") is where western medical doctors can perceive no heartbeat, respiration or pulse.
Hyper Gamma and Lambda states of consciousness are the states associated with the ability of certain Sects of Tibetan monks who can mediate in the Himalayan mountains in sub Zero temperatures with scanty clothing and melt the snow all around them.” 6
Another aspect of Brainwave states is the phenomenon of harmonisation of frequencies. This can be seen clearly in the images below of brainwaves under the influence of the Lucia No3.7
It is the ability to switch out of Beta brainwave states and access Alpha, Theta & potentially Delta, Gamma, Epsilon & Lambda that optimises our Health & Relaxation in our downtime.

Consciousness Expansion & Inner Evolution
The “True Nature” of our Consciousness is continually seeking to express more fully through the physical incarnation and all aspects of our creation.
This is the natural expression of Consciousness but it can become restricted by various aspects of daily life. Some of these restrictions are belief systems and patterning controlled via the mind mechanism - which is constantly seeking to protect us from the unknown future potential with stored past experience data.
Once you become more aware of these stored past experiences or of the effects of everyday life and how this impacts your reality experience at all levels, you can choose to work with this to bring about conscious ways of experiencing your reality rather than functioning unconsciously.
So how can you detect if your Consciousness is trying to expand?
Signs of Consciousness Expansion include but are not limited to:
- Searching for a Deeper Meaning or Knowing
- Inner Drive to find greater Life Purpose
- Increasing Intuition & Synchronicity
- Curiousity to Explore Inner & Outer Realities
- Spontaneous Awakening & the associated increase in Awareness
- Desire for more Clarity
The evolutionary process of Consciousness Expansion cannot be stopped but the speed of its flow can be restricted or expanded depending on how you work with it.
Working with this evolution leads to the “flow state” where everything falls into place effortlessly in amazing ways beyond expectation in a flurry of synchronicity. In contrast, restricting this evolution can lead to internal conflict as beliefs try & resist or hinder the new expansions from emerging.
If one decides to actively support their Consciousness Expansion there can be great satisfaction in catalysing this evolution which results in a positive and fuller life experience in all its various expressions.
This process naturally results in a greater awareness of oneself and the multi-dimensional reality we exist within.
Activate & Catalyse your Consciousness Expansion with our Lucia No3 - Consciousness Expansion programmes which are designed to assist in developing your expansion and awareness through a variety of methods.
There are different options available and you can go at your own pace.

NeiGong & NeiJing the Inner Skill & Power of TAI CHI
Nei - Inner & Wai - Outer are very different expressions of body movement. TAI CHI develops the NeiGong - Inner skill, in order to achieve NeiJing - Inner power, through it's extremely unique methods.
The aspects of still meditation, Qi cultivation and movement are all utilised to grow the NeiGong. At a certain point in one's practice this NeiGong - Inner skill, blossoms into NeiJing - Inner Power. This usually takes many years, hence the traditional way of practicing each movement multitudes of times, to accelerate the process and embed TAI CHI into the sub conscious.
Once NeiGong - Inner Skill, has transformed into NeiJing - Inner Power, the results are truly impressive.
In China TV shows are very popular as is Traditional Culture such as TAI CHI. In the video below you can see 75 year old Chen XiaoWang, 19th Generation Lineage Holder of Chen Family Taijiquan, challenged by Long Wu, a Chinese strongman (who can lift cars & push lorries around) to 3 one minute rounds of wrestling - the objective to wrestle the opponent off the circle.
This is a great example of NeiGong & NeiJing in action...

The Science of Sound QI GONG
LiuZiJue is a very old form of QiGong which appeared in traditional Chinese medical literature written by Tao Hongjing, a prominent figure of the Maoshan School of Daoism (Southern and Northern Dynasties 420 - 589).
This 6 sound QiGong form was extolled by Tao Hongjing in his treatise "Caring for the Health of the Mind and Prolonging the Life Span".
LiuZiJue QiGong with it's 6 movements for the Qi/Vital energies of the Heart, Spleen, Lungs, Kidney, Liver & Pericardium incorporates both sound energy & breathing skills.
"One has only one way for inhalation, but six for exhalation - chui, hu, xi, he, xu and si.
Chui gets rid of heat, Hu sweeps away wind, Xi eliminates worries, He promotes the circulation of energy, Xu drives away cold and Si reduces stress.
Those with heart disease should practice Chui, and Hu to drive away cold and heat.
Those with lung disease should practice Xu, to relieve swelling.
Those who have spleen trouble should practice Xi to eliminate stress.
As for those who suffer from a liver disease, He will cure it." sup>1
1Chinese Health Qi Gong Association
Sound energy is both well known and extensively used from ultra sound to shamanic rattles & drumming; Tibetan singing bowls to Gong baths, and listening to music whether man made or created by nature - bird song, sound of the ocean's waves, wind through leaves or the flowing water of a stream.
What did the Daoist priests know that Science now reveals?
Jonathan Goldman is a Healing Sounds pioneer with over 40 years spent researching, experiencing and teaching how to use sound for healing and transformation from nearly every aspect of the sound field. In his 3 articles on the power of Sound, benefits such as the reduction of stress, release of melatonin, lowering of heart rate and blood pressure as well as the release of Nitric Oxide are mentioned.
Here are some excerpts from his articles (full links to articles below):
"Dr. Deitrich Klinghardt, a German MD and Ph.D, (and many others) in peer review journals say that the increase in NO (nitric oxide) in the nasal cavity could be potentially effective as an anti-viral agent. " "Simple Humming while exhaling instantly increases the nitric oxide concentration in the nasal passages and sinuses - the very tissues, where Covid-19 lingers for many days before infecting other tissues" (Weitzberg, Eddie, and Jon ON Lundberg.
"Humming greatly increases nasal nitric oxide." American journal of respiratory and critical care medicine 166.2 (2002): 144-145.)
"Dr. John Beaulieu, has shown that when cells in petri dishes experienced the vibratory sounds of a tuning fork, the cells gave off NO (nitric oxide). Self-created sounds such as humming seem to act as a sonic massage to our body, resonating the cells and structure of our body."
"Melatonin also seems to have anti-viral ability. As an example, here is a peer reviewed paper on that research. Some scientists speculate that since Melatonin levels decrease as we get older, that Melatonin may be particularly useful for the "at risk" population. Therefore, we conjecture that the release of Melatonin through humming may be another powerful reason to hum. Among other things, as noted it's a great way to help get to sleep at night. And a good night's sleep is always beneficial!"
"The other way that sound affects us is called "vibro-acoustics." This is when the sound waves resonate with our physical body. It is, if you like, the ability of the sounds to affect us directly on a physical level, vibrating us on a cellular level - which includes our DNA and molecules.
To quote an article from the NY Times Science Section (from Feb. 8, 1988), sound can "make, break or rearrange molecules." That's pretty impressive."

ShaoLin Temple - the Path of Chan
The legendary ShaoLin Temple was founded by DaMo (Bodhidharma) circa 497, who taught certain methods to his disciples.
This way of practice is embodied in the ShaoLin BaDuanJin and is poetically expressed in the classics,
"DaMo passed down the herb of cultivating the body;
top to the NiWan & bottom to the YongQuan.
(When) Qi reaches the navel, the White Crane flies.
When reversing the image & at the beginning of training where you are still crossing your legs, transporting (Qi), living, sitting, and lying down, you must remember,
Jing should be abundant and Shen should be complete, the Qi will naturally be round (smooth).
Shen & Qi are plenty, the glow will not be extinguished.
Again, it is different from other styles.
If someone is able to recognise this information, (he will be able to) harden himself like gold stone and be tough like metal.
You must be alert at every move and step.
This is the real oral secret from the immortal fairy.
You must remember YiJinJing firmly, train your entire body like raw iron.
Only then will you be able to fly your body to the Golden Palace."2

The ShaoLin methods allow transformation to occur at all levels and change to an extra ordinary degree is a potential as can be seen, for example, by Shi LiLiang, as he walks on water.
