Can the body be resting while the mind is still fighting battles? A person can be sitting quietly, even praying, while thoughts move between family concerns, financial pressures and uncertainty about tomorrow. We can deceive the five brainwave rhythms: delta, theta, alpha, beta and gamma. They are associated with different aspects of sleep, memory, attention and information processing. These rhythms change naturally throughout the day. When stress becomes prolonged, it can affect sleep, concentration, heart rate and muscle tension. Brainwaves alone, however, cannot tell whether someone’s mind is being managed well. In Dr. Leaf’s framework, the mind thinks, feels and chooses; the brain encodes mental activity, and the body responds. God’s invitation is beautifully expressed in Psalm 46:10 (NKJV): “Be still, and know that I am God.” In context, this is a call to recognize God’s sovereignty amid turmoil, not a scientific instruction to silence the mind.The mind can never be silenced. Faith offers an anchor in difficult circumstances. Understanding the mind offers another way to approach the thoughts carried through them.
