Hi everyone, I appreciate all the replies. I find this subject fascinating and I really enjoy reading about all of your experiences. The CD I listened to is Brainwave Suite by Dr. Jeffrey Thompson. I will listen to the theta next and let you know if there is any difference. Thanks again.

I've been working with the Silva home study materials for about a month. When I'm at alpha, I feel totally relaxed, but clear-headed...I can direct my thoughts and concentrate, and outside noise doesn't usually interrupt this. I've never seen anything unless I was trying the mental video technique..creating a vision myself.

Good morning everyone, I tried one of my audio tapes for reaching alpha state and am not sure if I attained it. I closed my eyes and focused on my forehead, the space between the eyebrows, where I thought the third eye may be located. I did not feel any puckering, Jack (darn it!!) but what I did experience was different or hopefully I had a glimpse of alpha. Anyway here it is: all I saw was purple waves slowly ebbing and flowing and I did lose the sense of time. I don't think I fell... [ More ]
