Alpha state meditation to get relief from Stress and Dipression

Alpha state meditation exercise for a healthy mind.

Alpha state Meditation is an effective way to get relief from mental illness like stress, anxiety, tension and depression. 15 minutes of Alpha state is equivalent to 5 hours of sleep. So if you get no time for sleep, this exercise can do wonders for your healthy and stressful mind. 

Practice Alpha state meditation for around 15 to 30 minutes when you first start, especially if you have never meditated before. You can do this exercise at any time of day. 

1. First choose somewhere comfortable to sit. It is better to sit with your arms and legs relaxed rather than lie down, so that you only go into the alpha state rather than fall asleep!

2. Make sure your clothing is loose and comfortable and your arms resting on your lap or on the arms of the chair. Make sure your legs feel well supported in the ground. Keep your legs uncrossed. 

3. Close your eyes.

4. Take few deep, long breaths in and out so that you begin to slow down your breathing. Let your breath go deeper. Feel the relaxation begin to flow with your breath through your body.

5. First notice how heavy your head feels, then your neck, and notice how light your head and neck now feel. 

6. Become aware of your arms and shoulders, feel them becoming heavy and relaxed. Release the tension and feel them become light. 

7. Become aware of your torso and your stomach. Feel the tension release. 

8. Become aware of your legs and feet. Notice the tension in them. Feel them become heavy, and then as you release the tension into the air around you, they become light. 

9. Now your whole body is light and relaxed. 

You can practice this technique for all the internal and external parts of the body. I rely on this technique if I have a rather busy and stressful day. Even after doing this technique for 10 minutes I feel refreshed and energetic for many hours. 

This meditation is especially recommended for those people who are doing physical oriented jobs. 

Benefits: 

1. This type of meditation is very useful for those who are suffering from Insomnia. 

2. Your intuition will improve and you will feel young and energetic. 

3. Remedy for all the physical ailments. 

4. Possible occurrence of ESP and Astral travel.  

5. All the Chakras will get energized.

Alpha brain wave meditation, how to do it?

Why doing Alpha brain wave mediation? 

Alpha brain wave meditation or simply getting into Alpha state involves getting the mind into a relaxed state where the practitioner achieves immense relaxation in both mind and body. We live in a world of competition and rivalries. We always try to get an identity over others, we fear of losing business and sales for the reason being rejected and losing identity in the crowd.

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.

What is Hypnotism? And history of Hypnosis

Hypnotism is the oldest knowledge of India. I always wondered about Hypnotism and Hypnosis. Back in the old days, I was surfing Internet regarding the ways to learn Hypnosis. I tried various methods to master the technique of Hypnotism. I have noticed a sudden shift in my mood. I felt immensely confident about myself and in my profession. Before practicing any techniques to learn hypnotism, we must first have the basic knowledge and history of Hypnotism.

Hypnotism is rooted into the deepest traditions, hypnotism was also called Prana Vidya or Trikala Vidya in ancient Indian literature.

In the west however, Hypnotism was an object of curiosity and mystery. True, the people of the west had a keen inclination to investigation and research. When they learnt all about the miracles of the Indian seers, they were simply amazed. They visited India, and saw themselves that the yogis could achieve the impossible.

They saw a yogi curing patients simply by a mere touch, communicating the people far away from them, reading others minds etc. They simply astonished by the power of mind and the way Yogis using it. This lead Western Civilization to begin researching on the subject. For the first time Dr. Enton Mesmer revealed the power of the mind and was able to successfully demonstrate Hypnotism in a more practical way. 

Dr. Enton Mesmer was the first western thinker to have initiated studies regarding the subject and bought off a scientific study in Hypnotism.

As Dr. Mesmer explained, the entire organism is permeated with magnetic power. When we give a hand shake to somebody, we feel either overcome or overbearing. What accounts for this varying range of feelings is that one may have more magnetic power than other.

The experiments made by Mesmer cured many patients and won him popularity all over france. Many high ranking officers, and ministers visited the clinic and went back fully recovered.

While conducting these experiments, Dr. Mesmer felt that the finger tips had in them a high concentrate of magnetic power which otherwise permeated the whole body. He also felt that his own finger tips very often give him relief to the  patients through touch. He used to notice that the patient got a kind of relief when touched with his finger tips either the location of the wound or heart as the case might be.

After Mesmer, famous Psychologist Sigmond Freud achieved a remarkable success in the area. He firmly established Hypnotism in the field of medical treatment.
