Access Your Alpha

Are you accessing all the power of your brain to maximize your creativity and decision making powers? If I need a line for a poem, or a creative approach to problem, or an idea for a newsletter, I can often go to sleep thinking about what I want and wake up crystal clear about it. How does that happen?

British learning innovator Colin Rose says, “There is a brain wave (alpha) that characterizes relaxation and meditation, the state of mind during which you daydream, and lets your imagination run. It is a state of relaxed alertness that facilitates inspiration, fast assimilation of facts and heightened memory.”

A coaching colleague and writer, Peter Michael Dedes, explained this phenomenon to an International teleforum of writers. He explained that the alpha state of consciousness is the time of our greatest mental inventiveness. In our fully awake state, our brain cycles at between 14 and 30 times per second (cps) and that in the alpha phase the cycling slows to 8 to 13 times per second. Those slower revolutions give us greater access to our subconscious and creativity.

Einstein used the following technique to access his alpha state regularly. He would sit in a chair holding some marbles in his hand and close his eyes, thinking about a problem. As he dosed off, he would relax his hand and drop the marbles; the noise would wake him up in the middle of the alpha phase giving answers to questions and great new ideas. If Einstein used alpha, well you know the rest of this sentence. Access that Alpha -- I just bought some shiny, new marbles!
