Consistent, stable alpha is the bridge to the depths and heights of meditation, and it is the gateway to the eyes-open Awakened Mind of the meditation masters. Max Cade wrote that the Awakened Mind “is like gradually awakening from sleep and becoming more and more vividly aware of everyday reality—only it’s everyday reality from which we are awakening!” The alpha bridge, connecting all levels of the mind, is that awakener.
These inventive exercises feel like creative mind play. They are that and more. Exercising and strengthening the alpha bridge unites us with our essence in theta and our spirit in delta, making what was unconscious, conscious, until all things are known and understood, resolved, and harmonious. The meditator is then a completely conscious, awakened being.
Alpha brainwaves resonate with the frequencies of nature, relaxing the body and quickly reducing the beta waves of overthinking, stress and anxiety. Alpha is like a tuning fork. As the body and mind relax, the brain is freed of static and grows more coherent. The result is strengthened concentration, mental fluency, and creative imagination, as well as improved health and well-being.
Consistently sustained alpha increases the depth of meditation and the profundity of subconscious insights. Externalized into daily life, alpha's enlivened senses increase our sensory enjoyment of the natural world.
