Greetings everyone! Today’s post will have to be very brief.
I have my son and his two friends with me and have been elected as their activity director. We have quite a day planned…kayaking, a picnic, a music festival with movies and snacks to top it off.
But before we embark on our adventure I’d like to sneak a few minutes to share this simple yet effective exercise that will help put you in the alpha brainwave state, which is a state of relaxed alertness.
This state is good for reading, learning and other mental activities.
Although I don’t have time to go into details, essentially there are four basic brainwave states…beta, alpha, theta and delta.
Depending on what state you are in, different personal resources and abilities are available to you.
With the right knowledge, training and practice, you can change your brainwave states to tap into these various resources and abilities.
The mind is a powerful and mysterious thing and this is one of many wonderful ways to befriend it and tap into its full potential.
Why let it use you when you can use it!
Again, this exercise is used to put you in the alpha state and maybe a little into the beginning of the theta state.
Here’s how:
• Hold an imaginary tangerine in your hand. Experience the weight, color, texture, and smell of the tangerine.
• Gently close your eyes and place the tangerine so it delicately balances on the top, back part of your head. Touch that area gently with your hand. Become aware of the feeling. Now, imagine that tangerine floating up and behind your head, 6 to 12 inches.
• Imagine your field of vision opening up.
• Maintain the relaxed feeling of alertness as you open your eyes and begin your desired activity.
Wasn’t that easy? Keep it up and soon you will be on your way to rearranging the furniture with your mind!
All kidding aside, you can use this exercise anytime you want to relax, focus, optimize learning, optimize memory, sharpen mental acuity or to tap into other inner resources.
If you would like to learn more about the various brainwave states and how get into and benefit from them, let me know…I’d be happy to share a little more.
Well, I’m on the run!
Until next time…
Kind Regards,
Anthony

Where do you learn this shit? That really worked.
You blew me away with your exercises on beliefs, that connected breathing piece and now this.
Dude, you are like Yoda!
Cool exercise. It slowed my brain down which is hard to do without chemicals. What are these other exercises Joe was talking about maybe they can help too.
I would definately like to learn more about this kind of thing or any other stuff that chills me out. My job is making me crazy!
Thanks,
Kevin
Hi Anthony,
Few minutes ago, I checked out someone who had started following me on Twitter. I watched one of the videos posted at this follower’s website, which talked about “Zero Efforts.”
I then post the following as a comment (which is now awaiting moderations):
“Only breathing & heart beats needs no conscious efforts plus perhaps some thoughts.
The concept of “zero effects” sell what we wants, NOT what we need to move foreward in life. Sound like snake oil to me.
I’m open to see WHY I might be wrong.

Now, try this: Simply observe your own breathing IN & breathing OUT.
In between the space of that IN & OUT is the secret of YOU.

Seems like the majority of people, at least western culture, wants the easy way out. Pop this pill, say this prayer, repeat this affirmation, take this shortcut or that shortcut, etc and all will work out just how you want it (which is not a good thing anyway due to wants and needs constantly changing. Especially if it is an emotionally driven, feelings based want.)!
The ironic thing is that by the time they figure out that all of that is just superficial crap, a subtle form of greed and a dead end they expended more energy than they would have dealing with things directly and in real-time!
Anthony,
That is a cool movement to create the alpha level. That is the best level to learn,grow and use for positive self-talk.

Wow. What a cool visualization technique!
There’s so much cool stuff in that brain of yours Anthony!
Enjoy the Kayaking!
I’ve heard similar ones before but its been so long and truthfully I never tried in the first place. I did this and felt noticeably different. I’m not sure what I was supposed to feel but I felt different…in a good way. Thanks for that.

That was a great energetic exercise Anthony — I enjoyed it and shared it with a friend already.
Have a great day with the children!

Hi Anthony,
oooo, I LOVE using visualization techniques! thank you for providing an additional one. I like to have a variety of them so I don’t get bored. Indeed, having an idea of what we want and seeing LIFE, daily LIFE is an important part of dating to lead to life partnership or marriage.
Happy Dating and Relationships,
