The Alpha Sequence: A Step-by-Step Guide to Inducing Hypnosis

Harnessing the Power of the Alpha Brainwave State for Deep Relaxation and Transformation

 

What if you could tap into deep inner calm and awareness in just five minutes a day?

The Alpha Sequence is a powerful hypnotic technique that stabilizes the nervous system and allows for deeper self-awareness, clarity of thinking, and rapid transformation - all by accessing the alpha brainwave state.

When practiced regularly, The Alpha Sequence helps:

  •  Strengthen the connection between the heart and mind for a richer experience of life
  • Deepen your access to the subconscious and unconscious mind for transformation
  • Improve sleep, motivation, energy, and spiritual awareness
  • Enable rapid learning and intuitive decision-making

This simple, four-step process allows you to enter the alpha state easily, creating a bridge to deeper relaxation, subconscious access, and profound personal growth.


The Four Steps of The Alpha Sequence

 

The Alpha Sequence is designed to be practiced daily, taking just a few minutes to enter deep relaxation and expanded awareness. Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Close Your Eyes

Why it works: By reducing external stimuli, your brain naturally shifts into alpha waves, the relaxed-yet-alert state associated with learning, creativity, and intuition.

Simply close your eyes and allow yourself to settle into calm awareness.


Step 2: Relax Your Jaw

Why it works: Relaxing the jaw activates the vagus nerve, sending a signal to your entire body that it’s time to relax.

 

  • Let your jaw loosen slightly and notice how it gently opens on its own, with a small space in between the upper and lower teeth.
  • This triggers a parasympathetic response, helping the body unwind deeply.
  • Internally proclaim: “I am in exactly the right place, at exactly the right time.” (which is the present moment, good job)

Step 3: Slow Down Your Breathing

Why it works: A slow, controlled exhale is the most powerful tool you have to calm the body and quiet the mind. Your breath directly influences your nervous system, making it the strongest lever for achieving deep relaxation. Mastering your breath enhances every aspect of your life, from focus and emotional regulation to physical well-being.

 

  • Breathe through your nose at all times, allowing the air to flow smoothly.
  • Find a comfortable, steady rhythm - slow and natural, with a gentle, elongated exhalation.
  • Let the breath expand into your belly, feeling it rise and fall effortlessly.

 

As your breath deepens, tension dissolves, your mind quiets, and you drift into a profound state of relaxation - effortlessly and naturally.


Step 4: Relax the Back of Your Tongue

Why it works: The tongue is directly connected to the brain’s speech center, meaning that when it relaxes, the mind naturally lets go of inner dialogue. This simple yet powerful shift creates an opening for stillness, peace, and expansive awareness.

 

  • Bring your attention to the back of your tongue - imagine it softening, releasing all tension.
  • As it relaxes, notice how thoughts begin to quiet - the mind is no longer preparing to speak.
  • With practice, this skill allows you to calm the thinking mind at will.
  • Allow yourself to experience spaciousness - where awareness expands, and even the body’s sense of location begins to dissolve.

A moment of nothingness. Stillness. Deep peace. Tranquility unfolds as you step into pure presence.
