The universe has frequencies, and it has rhythms, frequencies, and patterns that hide from our eyes. Amazingly enough, human brains also have frequencies. Our brain waves emulate the hidden energies of the universe and make the human mind a microcosm of the universe. The Quran beautifully proclaims, “We will show them our signs in the horizons and in themselves” (Surah Fussilat 41:53). This verse connects the outer cosmos to our inner consciousness.
The Symphony of Brain Waves
The brain produces electrical signals. Theta waves are intuitive, creative, and imaginative. Alpha waves are calm and balancing. Beta waves dominate as we concentrate and involve in problem-solving. Gamma waves represent peak performance and higher consciousness. So, all of them create a quiet constellation of sorts inside us.

The Cosmic Rhythm
Now let’s move to the cosmos. The planets, the stars, and the galactic bodies are also vibrating with energy. NASA has discovered that the planets create electromagnetic sounds that are unique to each celestial body. The Sun has its own unique oscillating waves, much like the heartbeats of the living being it sustains. Similar to how the Earth rotates on its axis each day, the lunar cycles are just part of our circadian rhythms. To explain, the circadian rhythm regulates our sleep, mood, and energy levels—the circadian rhythm illustrates the structures of time, or cosmic cycles that create structure to our inner cycles, much differently for every one of us.
Scientific Evidence Connecting Cosmic Activity to Our Brain’s Activity
Modern research illuminates many interesting connections between cosmic activity and what happens within the human brain and body. A study conducted by Harvard was recently released that showed our brain activity is dependent on solar activity. Research has also shown that when solar storms rise in their intensity, it does change the sleep patterns and mood of the human brain and body. It has been scientifically proven that human emotions impact from lunar cycles. A study undertaken in Switzerland showed that people were sleeping twenty minutes less during the full moon phase. So clearly, the brain also aligns with the movements of the celestial bodies.
Did You Know?
Did you know that the human brain generates ten watts of electricity, enough to power a light bulb? Also, did you know that the Milky Way has faint sounds humming through it, and scientists have recorded them? Did you know that the neural network in the brain is the same model as the cosmos’ galactic web?
Real-World Case: Space-Bound Astronauts
Astronauts report real sleep problems in space. For instance, NASA found brain wave patterns struggling without a natural day-to-night cycle. One astronaut describes during lengthy missions the feeling of being “lost” mentally. However, the introduction of artificial light cycles stabilized their brain wave activity. This shows the profound effect cosmic rhythms can have on human neural activities.
The Quran and Cosmic Harmony
The Quran notes that the universe has harmony, “The sun and the moon (move) by precise calculation.” (Surah Ar-Rahman 55:5). This precise order is what is echoed in the brain’s electrical activity. So, just as the sun revolves around in a specific orbit, our neurons fire at certain rhythms too. If the order of the universe is thrown out of balance, and the brain fails to maintain its rhythms, the result will be chaos, both in terms of our bodies, which exist uniquely as part of this cosmic order.
Psychology, e.g., a cosmic effect
Psychologists have also noted that our moods change (and we change) with the weather and sunlight. For example, when winter blocks our sunlight, some of us experience seasonal affective disorder (SAD). At this time of year, our brain’s wave frequencies slow down, depression sets in, and fatigue takes over. Yet exposure to natural sun or light returns the brain to a steady state of serotonin. Eventually, and based on the length of exposure, it also allows for the brain frequencies to come back into balance, which invariably affects our emotional condition. In other words, cosmic light is a direct course toward healing for the human mind.
Stars of the Inner Mind
Picture your thoughts as stars all bursting with light. Each neuron flashes light like a little flash of lightning. As neurons flash together, neural constellations are formed inside your brain. Research in neuroscience that involves meditation finds that alpha waves enhance while someone gazes at the time sky. Also, the restorative shift from restless beta brain waves into the relaxing alpha brain waves is brought about by the night sky. Stargazing is naturally a calming and spiritual experience. The Quran says: “And it is He who made for you the stars that you may be guided.” (Surah Al-An’am 6:97).
Scientific Considerations for Ancient Spiritual Understandings
Neuroscience is now validating spiritual traditions that have always known something unphysical was going on within the brain. Brainwave rhythms are not random – they respond to universal frequencies. A study by MIT scientists in 2019 established that brain oscillations synchronized with vibrations in their environment. It’s interesting to note that the Schumann Resonance is the natural heartbeat rhythm of the Earth at 7.83 Hz. This phenomenon mirrors the alpha waves of the human brain. That was a mind-blowing discovery for MIT scientists to realize alongside scientists globally. Put simply, anyone and the Earth collectively breathe.
Did you Know Facts
Also, do you know that when solar eclipses happen, human brain activity tends to synchronize unusually? Did you know that when lightning storms occur, they can influence Earth’s electromagnetic field, and their fields also affect brain wave discharges? Did you know that astronauts have reported that in outer space, intuition is much stronger, almost as if the silence of the cosmos awakens dormant brain frequencies?
Final Thoughts
The brain exists within the universe, not separate from it. It is a living constellation within our bodies. Brain waves reflect the same symphony and harmony that exists in planets, stars, and galaxies. Hence, contemporary scientists reveal what the Qur’an has pointed out many centuries ago, that “Indeed signs in the heavens and in yourselves.” So, aligning with any rhythms within creates peace in our hearts, and ignoring those rhythms creates disturbance, confusion, and darkness inside us.
