In todays ‘always on’ world, moments to calm and ‘turn off’ are rare… but essential. It’s no wonder that more people than ever are turning to meditation. Whether practiced for mindfulness, emotional balance, improved sleep, or spiritual connection, meditation has become a go-to tool for people seeking mental clarity, calm, and self-regulation.

Meditation has been shown to offer a wide range of benefits, including lowering stress levels, improving mood, reducing anxiety, and increasing emotional resilience. It can also enhance mental focus, support better sleep, and foster a deeper sense of awareness and presence in daily life. These outcomes make it a powerful practice for both mental and physical well-being.

But despite its benefits, meditation doesn’t always come easily. Sitting still, letting go of mental chatter, or reaching a relaxed state can be difficult, especially in a world full of distractions and nervous system overload. That’s where PEMF therapy can make a powerful difference.

Why Pair Meditation with PEMF?

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy works at the cellular level to support your body’s natural rhythms. When used alongside meditation, PEMF helps the brain shift into more relaxed states, making it easier to settle the mind, drop into stillness, and stay present for longer.

Many CELLER8® users say they feel the difference after one session, experiencing a faster, deeper sense of calm and clarity when combining PEMF with their meditation practice.

In her review, CELLER8® user Natasha S. shared: “I have been using the CELLER8® for a few months now, I use it whilst practising Yoga to help me get into a good meditative state of mind and I have also used it to help me get a good night’s sleep. The device is easy to operate, and the battery lasts for hours.”

So How Does the CELLER8® Meditation Program Work? Let the Theta Frequencies Guide You!

Your brain operates across five primary frequency states, each associated with different levels of consciousness, these are: 

Delta (0-4 Hz): Deep sleep, unconsciousness.

Delta waves are the slowest of all brainwave frequencies and are associated with the deepest stage of sleep. This is the kind of brain activity you experience during dreamless, restorative sleep, the phase when your body heals and regenerates. It also linked to unconscious states, like being completely “out cold”. An appropriate amount of time in delta sleep is essential for physical recovery and feeling fully rested. 

Theta (4-8 Hz): Deep relaxation, meditation, dreaming.

Theta waves occur during the lighter stages of sleep and deep meditation. You might experience theta when you’re drifting off to sleep or just waking up, the hazy in-between state where your mind is calm and images of random thoughts flow freely. It’s often connected with dreaming, intuition, and accessing the subconscious mind. 

Alpha (8-12 Hz): Calm wakefulness, creativity.

Alpha waves are associated with calm wakefulness and a relaxed but alert mind. You might enter an alpha state while doing something soothing like daydreaming, listening to music, or walking in nature. It’s also linked to creativity and a clear, meditative mental state. Alpha is often the “sweet spot” for learning, brainstorming, and creative flow. 

Beta (12-30 Hz): Active thinking, focus, alertness.

Beta waves dominate when you’re wide awake, focused, and engaged in problem-solving or active thinking. Whether you’re giving a presentation, studying, or navigating a busy day, beta brainwaves are at play. Higher levels of beta can also come with stress or anxiety, especially during multitasking or high-pressure situations. 

Gamma (30+ Hz): Complex processing, high-level cognition. 

Gamma waves are the fastest brainwaves and are linked to high-level cognitive functioning. They occur during moments of insight, peak concentration, and advanced problem-solving. Gamma activity is associated with memory, learning, and the integration of information from different brain regions, essentially, it’s the “lightening speed” of the brain when everything is firing in sync.

At the heart of CELLER8®’s meditation program are the theta frequencies. These frequencies are associated with deep meditative states, daydreaming and even REM sleep. By applying PEMF in the theta range, as the CELLER8® Meditation Program does, the body and brain are guided into a state where:

• Stress hormones decrease
• Breathing and heart rate slow naturally
• You enter a state of calm alertness, ideal for meditation or restorative rest
• The mind becomes quieter, making it easier to stay focused or reflective without effort

PEMF and Stress: What the Research Tells Us

Beyond just helping the body to relax, PEMF has been shown to support biological mechanisms of stress reduction.

A randomised, placebo-controlled study investigating the effects of PEMF combined with light therapy on individuals with work-related chronic stress found that those using the therapy twice a week for 12 weeks experienced:

• Greater reductions in perceived stress
• Improved fatigue levels
• Enhanced overall quality of life
• Higher rates of return to work compared to the control group

This shows that PEMF may support the body’s natural ability to recover from stress, particularly when combined with mindful practices like meditation. Using the CELLER8® Meditation Program allows you to tap into these benefits daily, creating a calming experience.

Top Tips for Meditation with CELLER8® 

Whether you’re using the CELLER8® device on its own, or additionally with the CELLER8® full-body mat, here’s how to get the most out of your meditation session: 

Create a ritual space: Set up your yoga or PEMF mat up in a clutter-free zone. Dim the lights and add calming scents to further help set up the environment.

Get comfortable: Lie down or sit in a comfortable position. You can add a blanket, pillow or CELLER8® silk eye mas for extra comfort. 

Start CELLER8® meditation mode: Turn on your CELLER8® device and select ‘Meditation Mode’, this is going to emit calming PEMFs within the theta-range designed to guide you into a deeper state of calm. 

Sync your breath: Use breathing techniques like box breathing (inhale, hold, exhale, hold, each for 4 seconds) to help relax further. 

Allow, don’t force: Let go of any expectations! Meditation isn’t about ‘doing anything right’, it’s just about being present. CELLER8 will do its job.
