Alpha Meditation: A nonreligious mindfulness exercise that produces synchronous Alpha frequency brainwaves (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781640321984)

Many personal diagnoses are helped by bringing the brain into aligned functioning. This kid-friendly meditation exercise book is focused on producing Alpha frequency (8-12 Hz), also known as Berger waves.

Alpha waves increase just after wakening. They have been thought of as the, "clear morning brain," alert and focused. Many neurofeedback protocols are Alpha frequency targeted to improve symptoms of PTSD, ADD & ADHD, trauma, and other sources of brain incoherence.

This Alpha frequency meditation is non-religious, asking the meditator to focus on their breath, themselves, and how they feel. The intent is self-regulation and focus, while still being aware of the world around them. From this 'safe' state, the person can be more 'ready' to join the world around them, and live a more peaceful life.
