Using the power of the mind with affirmations

This is a chart I pulled out of the file cabinet this weekend. It illustrates some of the knowledge that I learned some 35 years ago while studying the Silva method of personal mind control.  There is evidence that there is higher "electrical energy" available at lower frequencies of brain rhythm (cycles per second).  This energy can be directed during active meditation to strengthen affirmative conditioning statements. 



Basically, frequencies run a range from very slow (< 4 cycles per second) while in deep sleep to the higher 30s or more during active aware consciousness.  The goal of all meditation techniques (also hypnotism) is to relax the consciousness from the active Beta level to the Alpha level near to 7 cycles a second. Many times we reach this state unthinkingly when we are daydreaming, or just before dropping off to sleep.  

The purpose of using relaxation count-downs in repetitive rounds (as in the Integrated Awareness conditioning) is to gradually allow the mind to slow down cycles toward the Alpha level.  Of course, if you get too relaxed, you quickly drop into Theta or Delta deeper sleep.  While it takes some practice, I've found that just listening to a guided relaxation for 10-15 minutes brings the desired results.  Once at Alpha, that is when the affirmation statements are their most powerful to embed into the unconscious and begin influencing conscious reality creation and experience. Alpha is the place where you want to work... and easily able to waken in case of any urgent need.

That is why it is very important to always preview these types of materials to insure you have full agreement with the conditioning suggestions.
