How people use their minds
How people use their minds
It seemed logical to Jose Silva that the alpha level would be the ideal level to do your thinking, if you could learn to actually activate your mind while at alpha.
*You could think more clearly because it provides more energy.
*You could maintain your concentration better.
*You could access more information, more easily, because it is in the absolute center of the brain's normal operating range.
But here's the catch: Research revealed that most people do their thinking at the beta frequency!
Most people, when their brain frequency slows to alpha, enter the "sub-conscious" area, and then fall asleep.
Most people are using the weakest, the least stable frequency to do their thinking: the beta level.
But the superstars stay awake at the alpha level, and do their thinking at alpha.
Functioning at alpha...successfully
In order to do this successfully, you must learn two things:
1. To produce alpha brain waves with conscious awareness. That is, reach the alpha level without falling asleep.
2. Become mentally active while remaining at the alpha level.
Everybody can daydream. Passive daydreaming is sometimes done at the alpha level. But even if you can daydream at the alpha level, you might wind up going straight to beta when you become mentally active and direct your imagination the way you desire.
