Riley Quinn: Slow Down and Meditate
http://rileyquinnauthor.blogspot.com/2011/03/slow-down-and-meditate.html
Friday, March 11, 2011. Slow Down and Meditate. Over the next couple of weeks, my blog posts will be centered on an area of interest that I’ve been studying for a while – how the brain works. I’m not going to get all neurological on you. I don’t have the expertise for that. In fact, what I share with you will be what I’ve learned as a layman. I have no expertise in any of this. I just find it interesting. I started with guided meditation. I found it easier for me. There are lots of CDs and books ...What ...

Riley Quinn: Gamma Waves
http://rileyquinnauthor.blogspot.com/2011/03/gamma-waves.html
Friday, March 25, 2011. We’ve spent the last two weeks talking about brain waves and we’ve covered them. Except for gamma waves. Quite honestly, this one is a new one for me. When I’d originally started looking at brain waves, this one never popped up. Recently I’d been looking at Dr. Jeffrey Thompson’s CD offerings and found 2 for gammas. I was intrigued. So I did some research and what I found prompted me to slap down the money and buy those darn CDs. Healthy ways to increase gamma brain waves include:.

Riley Quinn: January 2011
http://rileyquinnauthor.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 31, 2011. Hubby and I went furniture shopping this weekend. Last year, we bought a cabinet, TV stand, sideboard and a coffee table. There was a final cabinet in the set, but we decided to wait to make sure we had plenty of room for it. Then the uncertainty of his job made us hold off. It’s 8-10 weeks from ordering the furniture until it’s delivered. We wanted to make sure we’d still be here. We may have waited too long. Keep your fingers crossed for me! How did your weekend go? I was look...

Riley Quinn: Subliminal Stimuli
http://rileyquinnauthor.blogspot.com/2011/03/subliminal-stimuli.html
Monday, March 28, 2011. Today I want to talk about something that is related to the brain wave series we just finished up, but is different. You’ve heard of advertising executives tout the advantage of inserting a flash photo into an advertisement to sell more products. Some people worried so much about becoming “brainwashed” that the FCC banned subliminal messages in advertisements in the 1970s. But does it actually work? Yep But here’s the thing. Whether the affirmations playing under the mus...Have yo...

Riley Quinn: Yoga!
http://rileyquinnauthor.blogspot.com/2011/02/yoga.html
Wednesday, February 16, 2011. Last week I talked about my foot ailment, plantar fasciitis. It definitely slowed my progress. I took a week off from my exercise class. It seemed to help and I went back. It hurt again. This was a couple of weeks before we planned to leave for the States so I ended up taking all of December off and part of January. Before I went back to class, I started exercising again with a 3 mile walk with Peanut. By the time I got home, my feet hurt. What to do? Many people think it...

Riley Quinn: Delta Waves
http://rileyquinnauthor.blogspot.com/2011/03/delta-waves.html
Wednesday, March 23, 2011. We’ve covered a lot of ground – beta, alpha, and theta brain waves. Next up is delta waves. Beta waves were fast waves. Then we slowed it down with alpha before going even slower with theta. Delta brain waves are the slowest of all. Whereas theta waves are associated with the subconscious mind, delta waves are associated with the unconscious mind and like other slower brain wave patterns, generated in the right hemisphere of the brain. Some problems associated with too many del...

Riley Quinn: May 2011
http://rileyquinnauthor.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 4, 2011. I know I haven’t been around much lately. I had some family obligations come up and needed to take some time to recharge. Not sure when I’ll be back to a regular blog post schedule, but don’t give up on me. I’ll be posting twice a month. I’ve decided to release my werewolf novella as a serial, available at The Digital Digest (our blog). I’ll have more information as we get closer to the launch date of June 1. I hope you check me out on The Digital Digest. Posted by Riley Quinn.

Riley Quinn: Alpha Waves
http://rileyquinnauthor.blogspot.com/2011/03/alpha-waves.html
Wednesday, March 16, 2011. Today I want to talk about Alphas. No, not heroes this time. Alpha brain waves. Monday I told you about beta waves and that when we are actively using our minds, these are most prevalent. They are fast waves. Alpha waves are considered relaxed brain activity. These waves are usually generated in the right hemisphere of the brain or in a synchronized pattern between both sides. We experience this brain activity w hen we are relaxed and free of stress. 1 Brain entrainment –...
