It’s already Day #4 of my 10hz brain waves experiment in the alpha-range.  Things have been going relatively smooth – but today the energy that I’m experiencing is ridiculously distracting and makes it fairly difficult for me to type this entry.  Though I feel good and am not upset with this sudden increase in energy – it is fairly tough to contain and put to use.  I feel as though my mind is relaxed, but my physical body has energy to burn.  For everything that I experienced in fairly good detail, be sure to read below.  Oh, and Merry Christmas to all of my readers out there!

What I experienced today (Day #4)?

1.) Physical relaxation has peaked

It feels as though my level of physical relaxation has reached it’s peak.  In fact, today I feel no more relaxed or at ease than yesterday.  I feel relaxed, but also like I have TONS and TONS of energy throughout my stomach and the rest of my body (read below to hear about that).  If anything, I feel more keyed up than yesterday due to the energy.

2.) Mental processing speed

It is Day #4 and I have not noticed much of a change in my mental processing speed in comparison to yesterday.  Yesterday I noted that my level of mental relaxation increased.  Today, I feel as though my brain is operating at about the same speed.  It may have finally fully “grasped” the 10Hz alpha frequency through the entrainment session – which is a good thing.

3.) Strongest Surge Of Energy In Stomach / CORE

Today I have by far the biggest surge of energy coming from my central stomach area, it’s almost hard to restrain.  It feels like there’s a surge of energy in the pit of my stomach that is prying at me to get out.  It definitely feels good, but it also makes me want to jump out of this chair and do a three hour workout to try to get rid of it.

This crazy “pent-up” energy inside feels like a mix between emotion and energy.  Thinking optimistically, I’m going to try to put this energy to good use.  With that said, Day #4 (today) has been the most difficult for me to type this article.  I noticed that I am skipping around with my writing and that it feels very unorganized.

4.) More overall energy / feel distracted by it

Today, I especially noted that my body feels like it has “energy to burn.”  Not only in the CORE of my stomach – as I described above – but even in my upper body, my arms feel like they have tons of energy to burn.  It feels like I’m a little kid that finds it very difficult to sit still.

The philosopher inside makes me believe that this “energy” is due to a build-up of slow-brain wave activity.  Though I do feel mentally clear, this energy feels extremely distracting – like it could interfere with my ability to listen and overall ability to pay attention.  It’s really difficult for me to stay focused – even though I do feel mentally clear.

5.) Continued Quality Sleep

Another major improvement that I first took note of yesterday was an improved quality of sleep.  Last night, the quality of my sleep was phenomenal.  I slept amazingly throughout the night and once again woke up feeling super refreshed.  I couldn’t tell whether the sleep was better than the night before, but I do know that the past two nights have been above average – compared to normal and the previous days (#1 & #2) of the experiment.

6.) Less impulsive / more thoughtful

One final observation that I’ve made today is the fact that I am less impulsive – especially when talking to others.  I literally “think” about what I’m going to say before I’m going to say it.  This isn’t necessarily a negative effect – per se – but I’d definitely rather not have my brain “editing” what I’m going to say before I say it.

One benefit to being less impulsive is the fact that I am more thoughtful during conversation.  I have a much easier time restraining myself from making a random (potentially negative) comment.  Hopefully tomorrow will be easier for me to type this blog entry describing my effects.
