You are listening to a meditation from Sound Science Soul.
This meditation is a method of accessing the alpha state of mind based on and from the Achieving Alpha method in the book The Silva Mind Control Method by Jose Silva.
So let's begin.
Sit comfortably.
Close your eyes.
You're going to take a total of three breaths to calm and center you.
Take deep slow breaths through the nose until your abdomen expands like a balloon and then release the breath through the mouth slowly.
Completely expel the breath and relax your body,
Deepening the relaxation with each breath.
We'll take three breaths together.
Breathe in deeply through the nose,
Filling your abdomen.
Pause and hold and then expel the breath completely.
Breathe out longer than the inhale or the hold to activate your parasympathetic nervous system to bring you into a calmer state.
Allow your body to relax.
Allow the tension in your shoulders to subside and then breathe in deeply again.
Pause and hold and then release the breath fully but slowly as though you're slowly deflating a balloon.
Breathe in a final last time.
Pause and hold and blow a steady stream of air from your mouth as you release the breath.
Blow out the air as long as possible,
Feeling all tension completely released from the body and keep releasing the breath until your lungs are completely empty and you feel much less tension throughout your body.
Keeping your eyes closed,
Look upward behind your eyelids at a 20 degree angle.
This eye position alone can bring you into alpha.
Now slowly at about two seconds each,
But don't worry about this being exact,
Just find your rhythm.
Count backwards from 100 to 1.
Keep your mind focused on counting.
We'll pause here so you can count.
You are now in alpha.
You may feel no different because when you awaken you're often in alpha for a while.
If you don't feel any different,
Don't question it.
Simply release the breath.
If you question it,
Simply relax.
It's time to practice visualization.
The better you can visualize,
The more powerful will be your experience with this method.
Create a tool for visualization.
Visualize a mental screen like a large movie screen.
Imagine it in front of you about six feet and project onto this screen whatever you desire to concentrate on.
You can start simply projecting everyday things such as a piece of fruit.
Concentrate on making it more and more real,
Seeing it more and more vividly in full color,
Every detail.
Every time you go to this level of mind,
Stay with this one image until it feels fully three-dimensional and real and you feel ready to move on to visualizing something else.
As your visualization skills develop,
You move into visualizing your goals,
Your desires,
Or even just places where you feel happiest,
Most content,
Most peaceful.
This is your time and an opportunity to create peace,
Harmony,
Self-love,
And accomplishment in your life.
We'll pause here so you can do the work to reprogram your brain for your greatest good and when you hear my voice again,
I'll bring you out of the alpha state.
Out of the alpha state,
You repeat to yourself the following.
I will slowly become more awake as I count from one to five.
When I get to five,
I will open my eyes,
Be wide awake,
Feeling healthy,
Feeling better than before.
One,
Two,
Three,
Awakening fully and feeling better.
Four,
Five,
Open your eyes,
You are wide awake,
Feeling better than before.
Now that you are fully awake,
Know that you will need to first bring yourself into alpha when you do this exercise.
Then deepen that state by counting and then you will need to bring yourself out of the state.
For the first 10 mornings,
Count from 100 to 1.
Then for 10 mornings,
Count from 50 to 1.
Then for 10 mornings,
Count from 25 to 1.
Then for 10 mornings,
Count from 10 to 1.
Then for 10 mornings,
Count from 5 to 1.
By that time,
You are able to more easily and quickly access the alpha level of mind so it requires less of a countdown.
