The Alpha State of Mind
[I]Note: The information provided in this article is based on scientific facts and personal experience. The knowledge contained in this article is mostly gathered from the course I took called: ?Silva Mind Control.? There are a few parts in this article translated directly from the book that goes by that same name.[/I]
[U][B]What is the alpha state of mind?[/B][/U]
The alpha state of mind is the state of mind in which you are the moment just before you fall asleep. It is the state of mind in which you are when you just woke up, or when you are daydreaming. These are moments where you unconsciously reach the alpha state of mind. If you learn how to control it however, you will see some serious change in your everyday life. Your parapsychological abilities will increase much faster when you are getting more advanced with using the alpha-state of mind.
Experiments with paranormally developed people whom were plugged onto a device which measures your brainwaves, showed that while performing things like telepathy, remote sensing, other forms of ESP(Extra Sensory Perception) or things like telekinesis, showed that those people their brainwaves were somewhere in between 7-14 brainwaves per second, which indicates usage of the alpha state of mind.
[B][U]The four levels of the brains:[/U][/B]
In our very early childhood, we use only a very small part of our brains. The dominating frequencies are those of the theta, and delta state of mind. But as we grow older, we start to activate more brain areas. By the age of 7-14 years old, the alpha state of mind is the dominating one. This is the reason why children are often more sensitive for parapsychological or psychic phenomena. They often feel something coming. For example when the phone rings, children often feel who is calling them. Most of us already lost the ability to get consciously into the alpha frequencies at the age of fourteen. Whenever people of 14 years and older try to lower their brainwave activity to the alpha frequencies, they often fall asleep. From this moment on, approximately 14 years and older, the b?ta state of mind is the dominant one. I will now explain the four evolution levels of the brain:
[B]1. B?ta State of Mind (more than 14 brainwaves p/s):[/B]
This is our ?watching? consciousness, our guarding consciousness which we use to function in the physical world of time and space that we have all created in our inner consciousness first. All vibrating frequencies higher than 14 brainwaves p/s belong to the beta-waves. This is the state of mind in which we use our physical senses and in which we are conscious of time and space. This is the state in which most of us are 95 percent of the time that they are awake. At full awake consciousness, when you think logically, your brain sends approximately 20 impulses/waves per second.
[B]2. Alpha State of Mind(between 7 - 14 brainwaves p/s):[/B]
This is our inner consciousness, the mental-emotional dimension of our being. This is the state of mind in which time and space become irrelevant or rather none-existent to your consciousness. Because of that, among other things, we can establish a much better connection and use the spiritual dimension. When you?re night- or day dreaming you are also in the alpha state of mind. You are tuned in onto these lower frequencies. This is the level in which we can be aware of our own inner self/consciousness. You are becoming more aware of your thoughts and emotions when you are active on these alpha state frequencies.
In this state of mind, we are connected to the inner consciousness (subconscious) from all other people, and therefore we can (if one wishes) receive all possible information and influences. On the other hand, at this level, we can also influence the world around us: personal circumstances; the outcome of situations; other people (for example healing); objects (telekinesis) etc. But we must learn how to use our inner power, consciously.
In fact we are using these powers already all day long: with our thoughts, emotions and attitude, we create all circumstances and situations in our live. But this is all done unconsciously. What you can achieve by training yourself in the power of the mind and by for example using the alpha state of mind, is to create your own world consciously. Think about it. Your life will be in your own, conscious, hands. You decide the outcome of situations; you decide whether your wishes come true or not and to what degree. In fact, everything you see in reality would not exist if it was not first created on the mental level. Everything you see in the physical world (including time and space) was created in our inner mind. So that means you can also change it consciously. You just need to practise and probably go through a lot of mental processes, breaking old habits and mind-blocks on the way. As you progress, you will notice that you are getting more and more in control of your live and even other peoples lives and the world around you. The alpha state of mind can really help you to develop this kind of consciousness.
[B]3. Theta State of Mind(between 4 - 7 brainwaves p/s):[/B]
The theta level does not belong to the physical world. That is why in this dimension, we are not conscious of time and space. The theta state of mind is a dimension in which we can use our intuition ?subjective? senses like our third eye for example. These inner senses and powers, help us to make our desires manifest. This state of mind is also used for painless operations, because you feel no real pain when in this state. You?ve probably seen images of Indians lying on needles, or walking on glass or hot coals. They often use the theta state of mind when doing this. Not everything has to do with these states, belief and faith can have tremendous power over matter as well. Then one of these states does not necessarily have to be accessed.
[B]4. Delta State of Mind(between 0.5 - 4 brainwaves p/s/):[/B]
This is the part of our consciousness that falls outside the borders of the ?watching? consciousness.? You reach this state of mind when you are in the deep sleep. In the deep sleep you reach the lowest possible brainwave frequency (Unless you are dead or in a coma that is). It is said that you don?t have dreams when in this state of mind. It is also said that almost none of the people who get into the Delta state, remember anything about the time they were active at the delta state of mind, afterwards. That?s the reason why there is only little info about this state of mind available scientifically speaking. If you are interested in reaching this state of mind while remaining conscious, then there are certain forms of meditation that, with some practice, allows you to do so. Search on google for ?Yoga Nidra?. Yoga Nidra is incredibly effective for relaxing body and mind, and balancing your energies (Chakra?s and Nadi?s). This state is what one will be able to experience consciously when skilled in meditation.
[U][B]From a b?ta-state person, to an advanced alpha-state user:[/B][/U]
Everyone can learn how to nearly continues function on the alpha state of mind. During the day-time, we take a spontaneous trip to the alpha state approximately 30 times per minute. This is completely normal and it seems to be the case with every one of us. Although every time we take that little trip to the alpha state of mind, we only stay in that dimension for an extremely short time, it?s a matter of microseconds. Our mind can function for approximately 5 seconds per minute in total on the alpha state. In these very short moments, we can be sure that we take the right decisions; we then only make choices that help and contribute to the good of everyone. That?s why most people only make the right decisions 20% of the time. But you will see when you use the alpha state of mind more often; you will make the ?right? decisions more often among other qualities.
It?s not always easy to find a place where you can relax your body and mind enough to make yourself reach the alpha state of mind. But fortunately you can strongly enhance your skill of using the alpha state consciously. The more you use the alpha state of mind, the more advanced you will get. When you are getting more advanced, you can elongate the time you spend in the alpha-dimension, as you get more comfortable with it. When you get even more advanced, you can just summon the alpha-feeling and function on this level right away, and regardless of on what level your brain works at that moment. Your consciousness-level will then operate on a similar level as when you are at 10 brainwaves per second. In other words, on that moment, you function in the world of your mind as if you are in the alpha state of mind, while actually you are still in beta. This is the moment in which the mind starts to loosen, but yet improve its connection to the physical brain, giving you more freedom and more potential power to express.

I am serious how do I get to that deep awake mind? I do feel relaxed after doing it but not sure if I am achieving the accurate state.
