When you are in the alpha state, you feel relaxed, yet alert. The mind is not busy running around or judging things; it is simply paying attention to what is at hand.

How long it takes to get into the state varies, due to many factors. The more you practice the faster it gets. Most people, with practice, can learn to get into the alpha state in 6 breaths.

Hi Stan,
Thanks so much for your feedback. I’ve been working on less distracting music. I like to have something in the background, because I get startled when there is a voice in silence, after a long pause.

Thank you for your suggestions. As for your tape, it is similar to what I am doing, though I find your musical background distracting. The ocean wave is OK.

I just found this article Very good idea, with the colors. I could try it for diversity.
I just relax, laying on my back, arms next to body in a comfortable position. Then I state my intention and then just apply it. Like: “I will count from 5 to 1 and enter the alpha state, where I will order my thoughts for tomorrow’s exam”. And then just count slowly while breathing deep. Or when I was having problems falling asleep I was saying “I will count from 5 to 1 and then fall asleep after a short mind cleanup: 5…4…zzz….zzz

Hi Marion,
Yes it is wonderful to read this article. The method is simple and can be practiced with ease. Also we wish that it would be great if you could possibly think of adding the benefits one could derive by entering Alpha state. This perhaps might motivate new comers.
With love

Hi Gem,
Yes there a lot of ways to get there. What ever works best for you, is the way to go. With practice, you can just will yourself into alpha state in a few seconds.

Hey thanks! i usually go into alpha state by counting down on the screen in my head and stuff using the colors. I wanna check out the escalator version though and see where that gets me. i actually learned about going into alpha state from this book i’m reading called “Power of the Witch” by Laurie Cabot (great book ) but this seems good too. whichever way gets me there is good to me
