A day is made up of 86,400 seconds and on an average a human being has around 60,000 thoughts in a day. So taking our sleeping hours into count, we generally have more than one thought in a single second and moreover most of those thoughts startlingly are rotten. Rotten why? Because 90% of the thoughts that we think in a day are exactly the same thoughts which we have thought yesterday. Sit back for a few minutes, right now, leaving everything you are doing, and try to just be a witness to the thoughts that well up in your mind. If you monitor your thoughts right away you will probably discover that the thoughts that are being thrown up by your mind has been lingering since long, maybe since years, since decades, and they have almost become repetitive inside you, forming patterns, never ending patterns.
To reach the Alpha state of your being all those thoughts have to disappear. The thoughts have to die down, the frequencies have to come down from the normal Beta state. Imagine your mind as a blackboard on which the thoughts are written moment after moment, you have to just use the duster and reach the clean state in the Alpha stage.
So when you are in Beta, that is the normal day to day state of your being, when you are either working, studying, cooking, watching TV or maybe traveling, just try to witness the train of thoughts that is always running, and try to come out of the rails, be in the sidelines, pull the brakes and watch them gradually slow down, until they come to a stop.
You can do it standing, sitting or lying down, posture is not important but the important part is the thoughts should dissolve to nothingness, and then you would successfully alter your regular state and enter the State of Alpha.
You will notice that once your thoughts begin to reduce, you become more and more alert, you are awake, your consciousness is more aware. When you reach this stage of Conscious Awareness through dropping your thoughts, and altering your state of mind from the Bogus Beta to the Alert Alpha, then you are ready, steady and on your marks for the real journey, the journey to Eternal Bliss, the path to Eternal Freedom, Ecstacy and Celebration through the next stages of Thoughtless Theta and Divine Delta.
More on that in the subsequent posts.
