By the path of getting an Identity or simply surviving we find yourself indulged in different professions, which sometimes we hate it or love it. Stress is a major disease that we find in almost everyone. Some guys know how to deal with it and some don't.
Stress
The dictionary meaning of stress is stated as "A state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or demanding circumstances."Stress could be also simply stated as a mental tension exerted on a material object.
Alpha brain wave mediation is the best exercise to avoid mental stress and Depression. Or simply for a healthy and powerful mind.
Let us forget the topic about stress and lets discuss about the states of our wonderful thing in this universe called MIND!
If you observe the states of your own mind, you usually come to know that your mind will always dwell in three stages.
1. The stage of mind when you are Awake.
2. The stage of mind when you are relaxed or just when you are asleep.
3. The stage of mind when you are asleep.
You can also categories two different stages in the sleep. One would the stage of Dreaming, and another one is an empty state where you forget yourself and the world.
States of Mind
There are three stages of Mind as stated above, or in other words the brain waves alter in three different stages.
1. Beta state: In everyday life, our brains generally function at a level of activity known as the beta level. At this level, the brain has a rhythm of electrical activity of between 13 and 60 cycles per second. The beta level allows us to be conscious and take in the information we need during the day.
2. Alpha state : The alpha state is a light trance state where the electrical activity of the brain is less between 7 and 13 cycles per second. We naturally go into the alpha state when we are relaxed or day dream. It can also be induced through meditation and Hypnosis.
This is the best level for psychically tuning into the auras or the spirit.
3. Theta: The level below the alpha state, here brain activity reduces to 4 to 7 cycles per second. The theta state is the level of a deep trance state. This state is usually seen in a person Hypnotized or during Anesthesia. As you become skilled at reaching alpha state, you may dip down into the on occasions. I have seen many Yogis went into this state, where their body remains absolutely motionless and a glow in their face!
A simple exercise to get into Alpha state to avoid stress, depression and tension.
1. Sit in a comfortable chair or any position that you prefer. Make sure your spin is straight and free.
2. Take few deep breath, and repeat these words in your mind with a great faith. " I am going to be relaxed in a great way! My mind needs relaxation and I am giving it!"
3. Think of your loved ones, and think they will be loved by you forever!
4. Now relax your body and mind, loosen all your nerves.
5. Now order your mind to think nothing!
6. Now count from 100 to 1 slowly. While counting, just OBSERVE your mind.
7. When you reach 1, to your astonishment you will feel that you are perfectly relaxed and having a unexplained happiness in yourself. Stay in this state as long as you like and count from 1 to 10 to get back to the normal state.
8. Now you are back to your original state with a healthy mind and relaxed body.
15 minutes of Alpha state is equivalent to 5 hours of sleep! So when you have no time for sleep, 15-30 minutes of Alpha brain wave mediation maintains your biological healthiness.
