  This is the frequency which helps you to manifest most easily, because alpha states are not only the gateway to your subconscious; they also produce the state of mind necessary for connection with the universal energy field that is greater than ourselves.

  For whatever reason, when your brain operates between 7 and 14 cps, your mind is operating in a different way – looking inward and towards the universal intelligence rather than outwards into the physical world.

  This is the state of mind you need to be in for you to manifest successfully.

  Happily, there are several techniques for achieving this state of mind: these include meditation, relaxation, hypnosis, brain entrancement, visualization….. we’ll look at some of these in a moment.

  Theta waves

  These occur between 4 and 7 cps, and are associated with deep meditation and light sleep including rapid eye movement (REM) dreams.

  At this frequency, your subconscious is active, but you’re not likely to experience it during everyday life unless you’re an experienced meditator or a mystic.

  This is the realm of deep connection and unity with the universe. It’s where you experience vivid visualizations, profound creativity and extraordinary insight. Fortunately, for most of us the alpha wave state is quite sufficient to achieve successful visualization and manifestation.

  Delta waves

  Delta waves occur between 0.5 and 4 cps and are associated with deep sleep and very deep meditation. This is the state of mind where you are basically unconscious during sleep, and where your body heals and regenerates itself.

  Gamma waves

  These have only recently been discovered – they are high frequency waves – and they need not concern us here, for they are associated with high levels of information processing in the brain, which is the opposite of the mental state needed for manifestation.

  Visualizing and Manifesting

  If you haven’t come across these concepts before, you might be feeling a little bit confused right now, and wondering what you have to do to access the alpha state.

  Fortunately it’s not very difficult to access alpha wave frequencies, and once you’ve done so, you’re almost certain to be in the right state of mind for successfully visualizing your goals and objectives.

  You can buy tape recordings which are designed to play either music or a rhythmic sound at the alpha wave frequency, and as you listen to these while relaxing, your brain synchronizes with that rhythm.

  But the simplest approach is relaxation.

  The essence of the alpha state is mental and physical relaxation – they produce a slowing down of the brain’s activity.

  You can achieve the alpha state with relaxation quite successfully. And you can do it with meditation, although that’s not as helpful for manifestation because most meditation techniques require you to focus on a mantra or your breathing. But to manifest successfully, you really want to be focusing your mind on your desired objective!

  So the easiest and simplest way to make your visualization successful is to physically relax your whole body and mentally switch off the everyday “chatter” before you begin to visualize your desired outcome. For many people this will be enough to put them in the alpha state.

  Some people might need some assistance, either from a tape playing at the alpha frequency, or perhaps by using a guided meditation which has been recorded onto tape for them. Check out the resources below.

  Recommended Resources To Get Into The Alpha State For Successful Visualization

  Free: Brain entrainment & natural world sounds.

  Mynoise.com A wonderful website which I highly recommend – it has alpha wave frequencies you can play through headphones while meditating or visualizing and a clever mixer which you can adapt to produce the best sounds for your personal use. There are also recordings of natural sounds like running water which you can play when you are visualizing to slow your brain down and generate the right mood for relaxation.

  Free: Relaxation MP3 recording

  There’s a great company called MindPower MP3 who offer a lot of free material which can help you get into and maintain the alpha wave frequency.

  If you find that relaxation alone isn’t working for you, don’t worry – there are plenty of other options! See the possibilities below.

  Get Control of Your Mind!

  Brian Entrainment

  Perhaps one of the best ways of making the brain move into the alpha wave band where you can visualize much more effectively is to use brain entrainment methods – this means amazingly engineered sounds played through headphones which guide your brain so it shifts into the right alpha state for effective visualization.

  Brain Entrainment

  Usually, the entrainment works with sounds inaudibly played beneath peaceful music and environmental sounds.

  I’ve researched the major companies in the field extensively and I’ve found the two best ones for you. Here they are:

  The Unexplainable Store

  Brainwave entrainment is not a passing fad, but has been researched for over 170 years. The human brain goes through many frequency cycles every day, each frequency producing different effects in the human consciousness. Using this information, it has been discovered that the receiving and operating frequency of the brain can be altered and even controlled through the use of sound waves. And binaural beats and isochronic tones have made it possible to bring this technology to everyone.

  How Binaural Beats Work

  Binaural Beats work by broadcasting two separate frequencies in each ear. For example, if you wanted to tune your brain to a 7 Hz frequency, you could play 200 Hz in your right ear, and 207 Hz in your left ear. The brain will compensate for the difference between the two and produce a third tone that will be exactly 7 Hz. This will result in your brain frequency being raised or lowered, and tuned to the desired operating stage. Headphones are mandatory with Binaurals. Notice the narrow sound wave and it's lack of uniform. Certainly a good technology, but it has room for improvement.

  How Isochronic Tones Work

  Isochronic tones are the most powerful type of brainwave entrainment, utilizing equal intensity tones, increasing the pulse speed, and synchronizing your brain with the rhythm. Isochronics use a distinct and clean wave form which is designed to harmonize with the brain much more efficiently. Headphones are optional but recommended.

  The Difference Between Recordings

  Each recording is different, and tuned for a specific purpose. For example, 4.2 Hz and 6.3 Hz are within the Theta Range, but have totally different characteristics. The 4 main frequency classifications are large ranges, and within these classifications there are many frequency options which all produce different effects. The exact combination of frequencies cause many documented brain reactions. This means each and every recording is specifically tuned to stimulate certain abilities.

  Holosync

  What is Holosync? Some call it “instant meditation,” but, according to the originator, Bill Harris, “it’s much more than that. Experiencing these deep meditative states each day provides a super-enriched environment for your nervous system, causing enormous (and very beneficial) changes in the brain. What we’re actually doing is gradually giving the nervous system more input (of a very precise nature) than it can handle… so, in much the same way that exercise gives your body more than it can handle physically, pushing it to grow stronger. The brain responds in several ways: reorganization at a higher level… Creation of new neural pathways… Increased communication between the left and right hemispheres of the brain, leading to what scientists call “whole-brain” functioning… and more freedom of expression, a greater sense of relaxation and being stress free, and a greater sense of personal power…”

  Making Visualization Work

  Start with the guidelines below. You may wish to use one of the above programs if you find it challenging to relax into the alpha state.

  And then, if you still have problems after trying visualization for
a few weeks, you might want to consider investing in a self hypnosis program specifically designed to make visualization easier.

  I’ll provide information at the end of the next section.

  Improve Your Visualization

  Do you ever wish you could visualize better? Maybe you've been relaxed but found it hard to actually visualize your desired images, scenes and experiences.

  It seems that some people naturally find it harder to visualize, and it may be that you're more comfortable using other senses.

  What's your predominant sense?

  We all tend to have a favorite sense; you may find it easier to imaginatively evoke a taste, smell, kinesthetic feeling or sound easier than you can evoke an image. But even if you’re having trouble, it’s easy to greatly improve your capacity to visualize.

  You might go so far to say “I can’t visualize!” Of course if you couldn't visualize at all, you wouldn't know how to recognize things. If you’ve ever visualized in a dream (and most people have done so in incredible detail) then you can visualize - it just seems as if you can't because it hasn't, until now, been consciously directed.

  Taking the pressure off

  By using self-hypnosis, you can make things easier. This removes any pressure to visualize so you start to relax with the process and have it happen naturally and easily. The part of your brain that visualizes when you dream is the same part that visualizes when you relax in hypnosis.

  Ways to develop your visualization skills

  A bit like working a muscle, practicing visualization with hypnosis will greatly improve your powers of visualization which will benefit your creativity, powers of observation, recall and memory and enjoyment of life.

  The recording I recommend below is wonderfully relaxing and also engages the part of your mind that naturally visualizes, so making it stronger – which means you'll find your visual sense wonderfully enriched.

  The more you relax into this session the easier you'll find it to relax and visualize at the same time.

  Making Visualization Work For You

  Here are some simple guidelines which should start you on the road to successful creative visualization:

  1 Make sure that you have a clear idea of what you wish to manifest.

  2 Be sure your goal is really appropriate for you, and is backed up by desire, belief and expectancy (you can read about these later in this e- book).

  3 Make sure that your goals are aligned not only with your own highest good, but the highest good of all concerned.

  4 Find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed for at least 30 minutes.

  5 Sit down comfortably and breathe slowly and deeply, relaxing each part of your body as you do so. Use a tape of alpha frequencies or some other relaxation program if it helps you. (Take advantage of the free resources above.)

  6 When you’re relaxed, visualize a clear detailed image of your desired outcome. The brighter and more vivid, the better. Turn up the brightness, and make the image detailed and realistic.

  7 Make the image as bright, detailed and realistic as you can. This may include action – what are you doing, who you doing it with, where are you doing it, for example.

  8 Use all the senses that you can as part of your visualization: sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. You can run a “movie” in your mind, showing how you interact with your desired outcome.

  9 Include intense feelings of desire for what you are trying to manifest, and feelings of happiness and joy associated with getting what you want.

  10 Once you’ve got the hang of this, visualize your desired outcome twice a day for 15 minutes each time, including the relaxation period.

  11 Continue doing this twice a day, ensuring that you are as deeply relaxed as you can be, for 15 minutes each time.

  12 Maintain your belief and desire in what you’re trying to achieve – stay positive, in your thoughts, your feelings, and everything you say about your objective.

  13 If any doubts or negative thoughts arise, allow yourself simply to doubt that these doubts are true. Better still, if you can, simply replace them with positive thoughts.

  14 You will find that if you make a sustained effort to replace negative thoughts with positive ones, after about three weeks your whole mindset will be much more positive. That’s good for both manifestation and your emotional well being.

  15 Maintain your high levels of expectation. When you do this, you’ll find that you notice opportunities more easily, and you spot things that might lead you to your ultimate goal quicker.

  16 Each time you finish a visualization session, feel the emotion associated with your objective, and conclude with the words “may whatever happens be for the highest good of all concerned”.

  When you do this, you’re going to find that synchronicities and opportunities start to happen almost immediately.

  Then it’s up to you to take action - about which we’ll say more later.

  And also be aware that although some manifestation happens really quickly, most manifestation develops through a series of events, each of which builds on previous one.

  Helpful Hints Tricks and Tips for Manifesting Successfully

  Use your natural alpha wave state

  Because you naturally approach an alpha wave state before you go to sleep and when you wake up in the morning, it can be really helpful to visualize your goals and desired outcome when you get into bed at night before you drop off to sleep, and just after you wake up in the morning before you get out of bed.

  In fact, some people say this is the fastest way to manifest anything because you program the subconscious to work on your desired outcome overnight.

  Feel the joy

  It’s also really helpful to summon up strong positive emotions while you’re visualizing: one guy I knew played loud, stirring and emotional music while he was visualizing, imagining that the music was playing to celebrate his moment of glory!

  Keep your goals in mind

  And don’t forget to think about your goal several times during the day – just to reinforce the meditation and visualization you’re doing.

  Imagine goals as if you already have them

  When you visualize what you want, always imagine things to be in the first person in the present tense: in other words, use language like this:

  “I am now living the life of my dreams, and I have a wonderful house in 10 acres of glorious countryside…..” (Picture it as you think these thoughts.)

  “I am now enjoying the most wonderful and rewarding relationship I can imagine, with joy and happiness entering my life in every way. My lover and I are connected, happy, joyous and deeply fulfilled.”

  You get the idea, I’m sure.

  The reason for using the present tense is that the subconscious cannot tell the difference between imagination and reality.

  Of course, as you visualize an imagined future, your senses offer information to your mind which does not fit with this imagined reality. (After all, you may not yet be in a relationship, or rich, or whatever…YET!)

  That’s called cognitive dissonance and your subconscious will immediately start to work to bring the information presented by your physical senses (your external reality) into line with your visualization (your internal reality).

  So if you’re visualizing your desired outcome as if you already have your goals, the subconscious mind immediately begins to work to make the evidence of your senses match that visualization imagery – and it does so by changing the world around you….. change which comes about in the manifestation of your desires.

  In fact the discrepancy between the power of your visualization (in which you “see” your objective as already accomplished) and the reality of your physical senses (where you know your desired outcome in not yet present in your life) is probably one of the most important parts of the manifestation process.

  It’s probably what makes the subconscious mind keep producing synchronicities and coincidences which take you nearer and nearer to y
our objective.

  Keep a journal

  Write your goals down and keep track of them in a journal. You can have more than one goal at a time – probably about five is the maximum, just because of time and other practical issues.

  Write them down, and make notes that relate to the achievement of your goal, and then review your journal every night before you lie down to go to sleep.

  This is all about developing what is almost an obsession with your objective, so you keep it in mind all the time.

  Create a vision board

  You can create a vision board of some kind, which is especially powerful if you actually Photoshop yourself into the pictures.

  This reinforces the belief in your subconscious that you’ve already achieved your desired outcome. (Which brings it into being in double quick time!)

  Use all the tricks you can think of to stay positive

  A great tip is to look at yourself in the mirror every morning, and repeat your desired goals as if they’ve already manifested:

  “I am in a wonderful fantastic relationship and I’m very grateful every day of my life for the pleasure and joy my partner brings me.”

  “I have a wonderful job that gives me great pleasure and fulfillment and meets all my financial needs and more.”

  “My income rises every year and my work becomes more and more fulfilling as time goes by.”

  And so on. Be creative. Find your own words.

  And every time you look in the mirror and repeat wonderful affirmations like these, end by saying something like this: “I thank the universe for providing me with everything I need and everything I want – and I appreciate the fact that this relationship has already happened….. I have total faith in the law of attraction and the process of manifestation! Thank you universe.”

  This is one way of practicing gratitude, which we will talk about later on – for the moment, keep in mind that gratitude is a very powerful motivating force for manifestation.
