		<description>Hi Anna,
I really enjoyed reading this article. Along with the breathing and incense etc like Kate mentioned I find putting all my thoughts and things I have to attend to in a purple box that I place in the corner of the room knowing  that let go for now and pick up the box later with it&#039;s thoughts and things I need to attend to. This helps me to empty my mind and let go so I can go into the Alpha state without being distracted or with a busy mind. Breathing of course is very important I and try to breath in peace and out with love. I think Kate&#039;s idea about saying a prayer is very good as well.
Blessings Kerry-Marie</description>

		<description>Hi Anna,

I enjoyed reading this and it makes a lot of sense. To go into the alpha state I find putting all my thoughts in a box and put the box in the corner of the room knowing I can pick it up later helps me relax, let go and be able to go into the alpha state. I used to want to hang onto my thoughts in case I forgot something I needed to do. However by doing this it gives me permission to let go an go into the alpha state knowing I will be able to pick up my busy life later...
I like listening to Jefferee Clarkson&#039;s music as it very celestial and I can move into it, however only very very quietly playing in the background, otherwise like you it can be very distracting. 
I enjoyed reading this Anna and thanks for reading.
Blessings

		<description>Thank you for this informative post Anna. Your direction and explanation is so useful I will pass it along. I use a form called Saesai meditation to go to my Alpha state. I sit for no longer than 15 minutes. I open in a prayer of protection, I state my intention and I sit in silence. I have been doing this 2x daily for 2 years now. It has helped me develop my claraudience. It took a dedicated practice of setting time apart to connect with my higher conscious.I used to think this was only for certain gifted people- now I realize this is available to ALL and I LOVE the communication with my guides who walk with me. I did try group meditation, guided meditation, youtube instructional videos, books, CDs---all seemed or felt like the wrong energy. For me Meditation is about NOT doing-- it&#039;s letting the energy come TO me, not me going after it....so in reply to your post... How do I get to Alpha state?--I learned how to stop DOING and learned the art of sitting and attuning myself to Spirit. Thanks again-Lorraine</description>

		<description>I just read your article &quot;The Alpha State- Why is it essential for psychic development&quot;.  I was wondering about whether or not people feel tired when you are in the alpha state?  I have had an experience that while I was taking a shower, an answer to one of my problems came to me so clear.  Was I in an alpha state...the sound of the water running at a steady pace and feeling relaxed by the sound and warmth of the water? I think so</description>

		<description>Hello Anna,

My real name is Anthony.  All my life I have been sensitive to various subtle energy forms.  Recently however, it seems a new ability has been manifesting.  About two years ago now I had a sort of out of body experience where information both symbolic in nature and actual was presented to me.  Information about the very structure and fabric of existence itself.

Since then I have become aware of a strange perception which manifests most like sound.  It is subtle, ever-present and varies at times in both frequency and amplitude.  It resembles the whirring and clicking of a computer hard drive or very fast geiger counter.  I hear (more accurately sense) it best when I block all external noise.  

I thought perhaps it may be my own spiritual energy or thought patterns because I have heard/sensed an overlapping secondary pattern of differing frequency/amplitude while listenting to certain motivaional speakers.

In the two years since the above event, after having focused on this revealed sensory perception I seem to be manifesting clairaudience abilities.  Hearing people&#039;s voices I recognize when they are far away or outside the building mostly, but also hearing disembodied voices and sounds which sound like an out of tune radio or EVP recording.  Also some cases which seem to be some sort of &quot;psychometric projections&quot; (for lack of better terminology) coming from the environment itself as if I am hearing/sensing stored vibrational patterns in the solid matter around me.  I have always possessed this type of ability in terms of emotional energies and I am usually fairly empathic.  

So what I am wondering is where I might find more information on this particular phenomena as I am having trouble finding such subject matter that relates more directly with what I am experiencing.  Not that I am in any way troubled by any of this, it&#039;s just that figuring this out on my own is very slow going and it is happening more frequently in both my light sleep and fully awake states, causing the lines between the &quot;higher state of consciousness&quot; and &quot;reality&quot; to blur at times.  Any direction you can give me would be appreciated. 

Sincerely, Anthony</description>

		<description>Thank you! I thought I was going crazy! I never knew about the alpha state being linked to psychic abilities... Explains why, as I just drift off to sleep I heard different voices saying my name. Also explains why I cant hear them when I jump out of my skin afterwards lol. I just thought I was imagining it... or going crazy. I used to have abilities in my late teens and early 20&#039;s but I didn&#039;t hear things I would just randomly say things (very embarrassing) and it would come true with in a matter of hours. I lost the ability after an incident where i told my neighbor his dog would kill my kitten and i wanted her body back. Later that night she got out and she died due to the dog frightening her :0(. Still upsets me coz I should have know better and saved her... But I was disappointed I cut off my abilities.</description>

		<description>Hi Maressa, thanks for the tip. My eczema is clearing up, mainly since I changed my diet (no gluten, dairy, etc.) I am very interested in nutrition &amp; herbs and will have a look into chickweed.</description>

		<description>Hi! 
I really enjoy your articles.. specifically the one about healthy boundaries. I came across it today while needed to remind myself of those truths while going through a period of time in my life where i&#039;m having to re-claim my power from &quot;helping&quot; others and start making decisions for me and only me. 
I don&#039;t know if you were just using it as an example, but if you really do have eczema i&#039;d like to share a helpful remedy/tip.
I&#039;m taking a herbal medicine/plant spirit medicine apprenticeship currently, and two of the girls in the class have eczema and something that they say really CLEARED it up for them was drinking nourishing herbs everyday (specifically chickweed) which grows locally around here (New england)....but you can also get it in bulk dried online at an herb store and in a Qt mason jar fill it up with half dried herb half water (hot or cold) and let it sit over night. Drink it in the morning and do it everyday (the herb is very very nutritive and is a whole food with other added benefits)
Hope that helps... and thanks again!
