Delta State

Scripture of the day- Matthew 10:22 You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

Quote of the day- My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.- Maya Angelou

Positive word of the day- synchronize- coordinate; combine; agree

Delta is the realm of your unconscious mind. It is the gateway to the Universal mind and the collective unconscious whereby information received is otherwise unavailable at the conscious level. Delta is associated with deep healing and regeneration, underlining the importance of deep sleep to the healing process.

So apparently our body undergoes 3 stages of sleep during the delta stage which is differentiated by the current brain activity.

During the initial stages of sleep, people are still awake and somewhat alert. At this point, the quick and small beta waves are produced. Eventually, the brain begins to slow down and slower waves known as alpha waves can be observed with an EEG.

• Ketogenic diets, which are very high in fat and low in carbohydrates, can cause delta wave increases.
• Interesting enough women display more delta wave activity than men.

Be, Then Do

Adapted from the resource Wake Up to the Word - by Joyce Meyer

We tend to think that our existence is only justified when we’re doing something, but that’s not true—we’re created to be human beings, not human doings. God doesn’t love us more when we’re doing something than He does when we’re enjoying some peace and quiet. Our busyness might make us feel important, but it doesn’t make us more important to God.

Many people feel more valued and accepted when they’re working than at any other time. Some of that comes from the way they were raised, some of it from their personality or work ethic. Whatever the reason is, the result is the same: overworking and feeling constantly exhausted. Too much activity without any rest can damage your future and prevent you from enjoying the present, so I encourage you to ask God to help you be intentional to make time to breathe and receive His peace in your daily life.

Let’s thank God and live in the reality that He hasn’t created us just to do, but also to be.

Prayer Starter: Father, please help me to see how and when I can make time to rest and just be in Your presence. Thank You for loving me just as much when I rest as You do when I work. In Jesus’ name, amen.
