The Genie Within- Summary

Methods of getting into the Alpha State

1. Relax and close your eyes...breathe deeply and concentrate on the sound of your breath...in and out...in and out. Clear your mind and picture only a door...the door is red, and on that door is a red number seven. As you open the door you go into a red room...the walls are red, the ceiling is red...hanging on the walls is a red seven...
   
   Walk through the room to the next door...that door is orange. On the door is an orange number six. As you open the door you walk into the orange room...the walls and ceiling are orange...and you see the orange six...
   
   Walk through the room to the next door...that door is yellow. On the door is a yellow number five. Open the door and walk into the yellow room...yellow walls, yellow ceiling...and the yellow fives...
   
   Continue through the room to the next door...it is green. On the door is a green four. Open the door and walk into the green room...green walls, green ceiling and green fours...
   
   Walk to the next door...its color is blue. On the door is a blue number three. Open the door and walk into the blue room...blue walls, blue ceiling...and blue threes...
   
   Keep going and go to the next door...it is indigo. On the door is an indigo number two. Open the door and walk into the indigo room...the walls and ceiling are indigo...the number is two.
   
   Walk to the next door...it is violet. On the door is a violet number one...open the door and walk into the violet room. The walls are violet, the ceiling is violet, and the number is one.
   
   And we count down further into alpha...ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two...one.
   
   This is the point that you arrive in alpha...to gain knowledge and insight. At this point, many will do meditation, healings, journeying, work with spiritual guides, affirmations, etc. When alpha work is finished, always remember to give yourself clearance and affirmation for perfect health. Do this by telling yourself that you see yourself in perfect health and clear any unwanted energy away from you by smoothing and clearing your aura with your hand, starting behind at the back of your neck...over your head and down your body...then simply count back up from one to ten.
   
   Other methods of counting down into alpha include the use of a rainbow, colored crystals, and more. Again...do what works for you. Many find that it helps while going into alpha to make some gesture which their brain then associates with this state. It can be as simple as crossing your fingers or touching your third eye. After a time, this state becomes so second nature that just making the gesture will drop you into alpha. The best way to perfect achieving an alpha state is practice.
   

 

1. Sit comfortably or lie down, closing your eyes. Perform a number of deep breaths.
   

• Visualize the number 3 and say to yourself "Three" 3 times.
  
• Visualize the number 2 and say to yourself "Two" 3 times.
  
• Visualize the number 1 and say to yourself "One" 3 times.
  
• Visualize the number 10 and say "I'm relaxing"
  
• Visualize the number 9 and say "I'm calming down"
  
• Visualize the number 8 and say "I'm relaxing more and more"
  
• Visualize the number 7 and say "I'm calming down more and more"
  
• Visualize the number 6 and say "My consciousness is clear and tranquil"
  
• Visualize the number 5 and say "My whole body is relaxed"
  
• Visualize the number 4 and say "I'm so relaxed so that I can't feel the weight of my body"
  
• Visualize the number 3 and say "I'm totally calm"
  
• Visualize the number 2 and say "I'm totally relaxed"
  
• Visualize the number 1 and say "I'm totally calm and totally relaxed. I'm at alpha."
  

1. When the body is relaxed, close your eyes. Look upwards behind your eyelids at a 20° angle. Now mentally count from 100 to I. Concentrate on counting and nothing else. You will gradually reach a wonderful state of mind. You may feel that this is nothing new, you have experienced this earlier-just before falling asleep, or when lost in a childhood memory, or while daydreaming. You have unknowingly passed through this level of your mind many times, hence this feeling now seems just familiar to you.
   
   Do not question it, just relax. This is first time you have reached alpha consciously. To enter this level fast, try this method: For the first 10 days, count from 100 to I; the next 10 days, 50 to I; then 25 to I; 10 to I and finally 5 to I. Though going to the alpha level may be different at different stages, you come out of the level using only one way.
   
   Mentally say: "I will slowly come out as I count from I to 5, feeling wide awake, feeling better than before. One...2... prepare to open eyes...3...open eyes... 4...5...eyes open, wide awake, feeling better than before." Once you reach your level through the 5-to-I method, you are ready to go to the level any time you choose. And once there, just concentrate on a particular thing. It could be anything you like-a beautiful flower, your daughter's face, the snow-clad Himalayan peaks, whatever.
   
   Concentrate on this image. Think of it as real, with a three-dimensional form. Think of the color and other details. You will find this is difficult to do. The mind, as we all know, is as restless as "a drunken monkey that is stung by a poisonous scorpion". Thoughts will come in a procession. Do not get annoyed, just push them aside. Concentrate.
