When we are awake, the waves generated by our brain are very fast and high-pitched; these are the high frequency waves called BETA waves. 

During meditation, the brain rate drops to ALPHA and THETA waves, which correspond to a slower and lower rhythm.

These are the waves that our brain sends out before sleep and that help create the restorative feeling of deep calm that comes after meditation.

It reduces social anxiety and improves social skills by promoting empathy and compassion.
