In 1924 a German psychologist Hans Berger detected electrical activity in the brain. He used the electro-encephalograph and picked up two distinct levels of electrical activity which he named Alpha and Beta.

It was many years later that another two levels of electrical activity were discovered and called Theta and Delta. ..Dr Richter of John Hopkins University found that the brains electrical activity is a result of individual brain cells firing of their electricity in set patterns.
There has been a lot of research into the four levels of electrical activity that our brains work on. Alpha and Beta are generally the levels that we operate in during the day while Theta and Delta we experience at night.

The alpha level of the brain is the strongest and most prominent brain rhythm. There is a direct relationship between our stress levels and our brain rhythms. The more stressed we are the faster our brain tends to operate and this affects our ability to operate in the alpha level. High stress lifestyles and the constant pressures of daily life mean that most people can rarely access alpha when they need it most. A lot of people see glimpses of what they are capable of but do not understand how to access these abilities at will.

The Alpha level is now often referred to as the peak performance level. ..Athletes often refer to playing in the 'zone', when they have tapped into alpha during their performance. The alpha state is now recognised world wide as an important part of preparing an athlete for competition. Coaches, trainers and managers are using many of the findings from brain and mind researchers and incorporating them into their training programs. Dr Khalsa has found that everyone can experience astounding results when they can access the alpha state at will.

Dr Khalsa found that the brains bio chemistry is fully balanced when in the alpha state and naturally the brain begins to function at an optimum level. ..Memory and concentration improve dramatically. ..Decision making and problem solving skills are working at their peak. ..Dr Khalsa has also established a strong link between the alpha state and healing and rates of recovery within the body.

The alpha training seminar gives people the tools to be able to access the alpha state at will. ..Students then learn how to focus the power of this level to achieve amazing results. ..The alpha state has been used by thousands world wide to speed up the realisation of their goals, overcome bad habits such as smoking, tap into their creativity or to simply eliminate stress at will so they can sleep better at night.
