In continuation of my 10hz alpha brainwave entrainment series, this is officially Day #3.  I’m feeling very good and though I have had a few slight side-effects that were unexpected, I have also experienced more benefits than were expected.  After finishing a 20 minute session last night of the [non-ramped] alpha entrainment and a 20 minute session this morning of the 20 minute [non-ramped] alpha entrainment, you can read about my experiences below.

What I experienced today (Day #3)?

1.) More physically relaxed than yesterday

It has definitely been easy to gauge my level of physical relaxation in comparison to previous days.  Today, I feel the most relaxed I have thus far in the series.  My entire wingspan (arms), in addition to my legs, and my stomach feel completely relaxed and calm.  My body has a feeling of “lightness” to it that I have not experienced in a long time.  I literally feel like JELLO – completely loose and limp.

2.) Mental Relaxation / Slower Processing / Slightly Lightheaded

Today I feel not only more physically at ease, but I can tell that I have become more mentally relaxed [than yesterday] as well.  I am not thinking deeply about anything and my mental processing speed has significantly slowed… (Now would not be a good time for me to do any extreme writing).  It is of much higher difficulty for me than yesterday to write this blog entry.

Throughout the experience, I began to notice that after my session last night, I experienced a feeling of being lightheaded – something I haven’t experienced much of before.  The lightheadedness is continuing throughout this morning after my session, but it isn’t extreme enough to be a distraction.  I am not sure what to think of it, but I believe that it’ll eventually fade away once I get started with some of my normal daily activities.

3.) Stronger CORE Energy From Center

It’s relatively easy to describe what I’m experiencing with this “boosted” core energy.  Basically, what I’m feeling is an increased energy from inside my stomach area – in the center, directly below my heart area.  To me it feels like emotional energy mixed with feelings of excitement.  Though it is stronger than yesterday, I have a feeling that it will be even stronger tomorrow.

4.) Contentment / Less Irritability / Desensitization

I feel as though I’m very content with how I feel right now and my life.  I am no longer having any feeling of irritability like I was on Day #1.  I feel much less concerned with things that would normally stress me out.  The best word I can use to describe my situation would be “desensitization” – which vaguely means I am not as mentally concerned / stressed-out with minor things that before may have made me stressed, or that I may have been concerned about.

One example is music volume level.  Before doing these few sessions, I was very adament about keeping my music volume at a low level – a volume that I was sure would be safe for my hearing.  After doing a few alpha sessions, I am no longer as hardcore about being a “volume Nazi.” If something’s too loud, I will turn it down, but I found myself listening to music and playing the TV at louder volumes than I normally do – likely because I am less mentally stimulated [affected] by what’s going on in my environment; much less than I would be if I were in the beta range.

5.) Laziness As A Product Of Relaxation

One thing that I had not noticed of myself was becoming more lazy as a result of relaxation.  I almost skipped my workout last night because I wanted to listen to more music and watch TV.  I felt incredibly comfortable and like I didn’t want to get my behind off the couch.  I wanted to chill out and continue enjoying what was on TV and continue to replay music on my iTunes playlist.

Luckily, I was able to overcome my mental idling and get myself moving for a workout.  Of course once I got into my workout, I felt very good and like I had plenty of energy to finish burning my 700 Calories.  With that said, after my session today, I noticed that I felt even lazier – I felt like I wanted to skip typing this blog entry, but I overcame that feeling [as is apparent by this entry].

6.) Old Memories Resurfacing / Internal Awareness

I noticed that old memories resurfaced – memories that I completely forgot existed.  One of them included a childhood experience about when I went trick-or-treating.  Another was of a day when I gave a speech at my elementary school.  Many childhood friendships and classmates were brought to my awareness.  All of the memories seemed to be completely random, but I thought they were great.

As these memories kept randomly appearing, I attribute part of the recollection to be due to the fact that I am more internally aware of myself today than I was before I started the experiment.  More “introverted” than normal – is how I’d describe the feeling.  What’s interesting is the fact that most people associate feeling “introverted” as being a bad thing – but I can testify to the fact that it feels extremely pleasing.

7.) Much deeper sleep / refreshed

One thing that I did consciously notice was the fact that I experienced much deeper sleep than before.  I know that I turned off my alarm this morning and slept 2 hours past the time it was set for.  It wasn’t difficult to get out of bed when I awoke – I wasn’t feeling groggy, but I felt like I slept extremely well – in comparison to how well I normally sleep.

“Did you sleep well last night? No, I made a few mistakes” – Stephen Wright <<< In reference to Stephen Wright’s quote I feel like I was mistake-free the entire night. I also felt extremely refreshed after waking up – as well as after my entrainment session this morning.  This leads me to believe that 10hz alpha is likely a frequency that revitalizes the body and the mind.  Hopefully the experiment will continue to go well.  Continue following the blog, or subscribe for the updates.
