Alpha Meditation
The pressures of daily life lead most individuals to remain in the beta level of consciousness, where concentration and imagination are low. Alpha Meditation, which activates the power of the subconscious, allows individuals to reach the alpha level of consciousness, which is the ultimate seat of mental relaxation.
The effects of reaching the alpha level of consciousness include active imagination, intense imagery, and heightened creativity. Alpha Meditation, moreover, is known for having a therapeutic value. It helps restore the mind, relieve stress, and break unwanted habits, among other positive changes.
But what exactly is Alpha Meditation? First, let’s get acquainted with some of the keywords in Alpha Meditation, namely alpha wave, brainwave entrainment, and binaural beats.
Alpha wave refers to the brainwave frequencies between 8-13 Hz. Alpha waves are normally experienced after waking up in the morning or before going to sleep. These can also be achieved during waking mode by lying down and taking a rest or through listening to music.
Brainwave entrainment involves the use of sounds, most commonly through binaural beats, to heighten the brain wave activity level. Binaural beats refer to two embedded beats on a song that are not easily discernable, having blended flawlessly into the background.
The ideal brainwave frequency for Alpha Meditation is between 9-10 Hz. Therefore, the recommended frequencies are 110 Hz in the left ear and 120 Hz in the right ear, resulting to a difference of 10Hz. This frequency activates the right-side part of the brain, which is the seat of creativity.
Alpha Mediation or alpha relaxation CDs are already available in local and online music stores. Moreover, individuals who are familiar with special audio software can easily include binaural beats in any song, especially ambient music, to gain full control of the songs to listen to in every session.
Deep breathing and creative visualization accompany an Alpha Meditation session. By staying in the alpha state for at least 30 minutes everyday, particularly during periods when the mind is relaxed, heightened creativity can be maintained. Personal goals, moreover, can be achieved.
