About the Author Niraj Naik (also known as Nij by his friends and amAya by his music fans) has had a roller coaster ride through a multitude of life experiences from running one of the largest dance music events in the UK at the Matrix Nightclub in 1999, to setting up one of the longest running independent university societies-‐One Mission, to co-‐running a successful independent record label, then being forced into a career of zero passion (very depressing period) due to a critical business error. He then went on a massive search for ways out of his depression that enabled him to reinvent himself as a health and wellness coach as well as online marketing expert to several businesses in the UK, such as the Traditional Yoga Association and ASDA stores. He is now focused on delivering essential health and wellness information to the masses and continues his research and development of his passion for sound therapy as a “side-‐effect-‐free” tool for relieving stress, anxiety and tension, which he believes are the main culprits for disease. amAya is the fruition and collaboration of a deep and long friendship, where the journey has been quite exciting for the two halves. Niraj Naik and Dr. Mrigank Mishra formed the band in 2004 and it has now evolved into an outlet for their spiritually awakening music, sounds and meditations. They produce music that helps take you from low energies of anger, frustration, tension, anxiety and depression, to the higher energies of joy, peace and love for all. After the continuing massive success of his first website, www.AlchemySoundTherapy.com, he went on to develop his trademark Trypnaural Meditations that feature an advanced form of brainwave entrainment using isochronic tones. The combination of isochronic tones blended into his cutting-‐edge music productions and Dr Mrigank Mishra’s hypnotic guitars is the signature backbone to the Trypnaural sound.

Page 2 http://www.AlphaMindSystem.com Introduction The word Alpha comes from the Latin word for “A,” the Greek word for “1,” and, in English, it is synonymous with the words “first” and “beginning." "Alpha" has been used to represent many things, including a type of brainwave frequency that corresponds to a special relaxed mental state where incredible things are possible… This mental state has been associated with: • Increased Well-‐being • Heightened Creativity • Inspiration • Peak Performance Interestingly, alpha mind states are found more frequently in people who meditate regularly, professional athletes, artists, musicians and entrepreneurs. Alpha brain waves are associated with your highest state of mind and we have collectively created a program that will allow you to reach peak alpha brainwave states at WILL. Your mind is the FIRST and MOST IMPORTANT thing to master if you wish to really take control of your life and ATTRACT all things you really want. Before you can fully understand how the Alpha Mind System can benefit you, it is worthwhile grasping the fundamentals of how both your brain and mind really work. Are You A Good Driver? “If your car breaks down often, what do you need to do?” Usually, you would have to hire a mechanic to fix it. This obviously incurs a cost and, probably, a big headache too! If you knew how to correctly maintain your car by filling it with the best fuel, checking the oil and water regularly, and taking it to get serviced when it is due, it probably would not break down as much...saving you a lot of pain and money! Now, just imagine your mind is the driver, your body is the car and your soul is the passenger. Copyright © 2011 Niraj Naik MPharm All Rights Reserved. Page 3 http://www.AlphaMindSystem.com Your mind and body are exactly the same as your car, needing regular maintenance and the correct fuel to ensure a safe journey for your soul! “Have you ever put the wrong fuel into your car?” I know I did once, when I accidently put diesel into my petrol-‐driven car! The car just chugged along bellowing out lots of smoke and eventually stopped. I think I completely wrecked the engine! Did you know that most of us put the wrong fuel into our minds and bodies every single day? Many of us live factory-‐fueled lives, eating a diet mainly of processed, factory-‐ based foods filled with artificial additives, processed fats and unnatural sugar. . Most people also consume fizzy and flavored drinks, excess alcohol and contaminated drinking water instead of pure, fresh water. This is completely the wrong type of "fuel" for our bodies. Our minds also require proper fuel. Our minds are fueled by external information, food and even exercise. The type of information we feed our minds activates our thoughts. The wrong source of fuel can create thoughts that make us chug along, rather than cruise through life. Breaking down is something I have experienced not just with my car, but also my own physical health. I went through a life crisis I do not wish upon anyone. I was promoted to the head office of one of the largest corporations in the world. Most people would look at my situation and think I was very fortunate. But, I was in a high-‐stress atmosphere with severe cut-‐throat competition that sparked from a battery-‐farm-‐like existence of most employees who were living their lives paycheck-‐to-‐paycheck. I sucked up all the negativity on a daily basis, which took its toll on my health. To make matters worse, I lost faith in my own creative talent as a result of my managers continuously rejecting my ideas. My health promotion ideas that could have helped millions of people in the UK were deemed “crazy” and my managers worried I would jeopardize future company profits. After experiencing all of this, my highly stressful cubicle pharmacy job didn't seem so bad! Copyright © 2011 Niraj Naik MPharm All Rights Reserved. Page 4 http://www.AlphaMindSystem.com Fear crept up inside me and all I could think about everyday was how to escape! I had lost my passion for music and even though I maintained a healthy diet with exercise, I still got very ill. I contracted a serious illness known as ulcerative colitis. This forced me out of work for a while and really made me take a deep, long look at my life. This is when I realized, after some careful research, what fuels our well-‐being and directly influences our thoughts and physiology is not just physical things like food and nutrition, but also our environment, including the people in it. I discovered, by learning how to maintain our thoughts using simple techniques and tools, we can thrive in any environment, however harsh. We can slowly have a positive influence over it and, in some cases, change it and the people around us for the greater good! Imagine if you could take control of your well-‐being by learning how to service both your mind and body yourself using simple techniques and tools? These techniques and tools are exactly what I am going to share with you now! Understanding Your Mind “What would be the first thing you would think of if I asked you where is your mind located?” Almost everyone points to his or her head when asked this question. I used to think this too, but I am afraid this is completely wrong. Your mind is actually the collective consciousness of every single cell in your body. Don’t believe me? Well, let me prove it to you… “Did you know that every cell in your body is innately intelligent and can survive on its own outside of your body?” But, inside your body, your cells shed their individuality to form a collective community of about 50 trillion cells. The functional units of life are your cells and when they become organized into communities, they become YOU! According to Carolyn Bohach, a microbiologist at the University of Idaho (U.I.), along with other estimates from scientific studies, there are actually 10 times more Copyright © 2011 Niraj Naik MPharm All Rights Reserved. Page 5 http://www.AlphaMindSystem.com bacterial cells in your body than human cells and there are over 500 species of bacteria living just in your gut! Further research has shown that a large majority of these beneficial bacteria actually help us to function in a healthy way. Deeper research from the scientists' part of the Human Genome project that aims to map out every human gene shows that around 40 genes in the human body are actually of bacterial origin! So, really, you are a vast community of cells of both bacterial and human origin that all have a shared VISION of being who you are! Dr. Bruce Lipton writes extensively about this in his book: The Biology of Perception, as he is one of the pioneering research scientists into the new field of biology, known as “epigentics.” “By definition, a community is an organization of individuals committed to supporting a shared vision. Consequently, while every cell is a free-‐living entity, the body’s community accommodates the wishes and intents of its ‘central voice,’ a character we perceive as both the mind and spirit.” “When the mind perceives that the environment is safe and supportive, the cells are preoccupied with the growth and maintenance of the body. In stressful situations, cells forego their normal growth functions and adopt a defensive ‘protection’ posture. The body’s energy resources normally used to sustain growth are diverted to systems that provide protection during periods of stress. Simply, growth processes are restricted or suspended in a stressed system. While our systems can accommodate periods of acute (brief) stress, prolonged or chronic stress is debilitating for its energy demands interfere with the required maintenance of the body and, as a consequence, leads to dysfunction and disease.” “The principle source of stress is the system’s ‘central voice,’ the mind. The mind is like the driver of a vehicle. With good driving skills, a vehicle can be maintained and provide good performance throughout its life. Bad driving skills generate most of the wrecks that litter the roadside or are stacked in junkyards. If we employ good “driving skills” in managing our behaviors and dealing with our emotions, then we should anticipate a long, happy and productive life. In contrast, inappropriate behaviors and dysfunctional emotional management, like a bad driver, stress the cellular ‘vehicle,’ interfering with its performance and provoking a breakdown.” Dr. Bruce Lipton “As Above, So Below” In the ancient Vedic scriptures, there is a well known saying, “as above, so below.” Copyright © 2011 Niraj Naik MPharm All Rights Reserved. Page 6 http://www.AlphaMindSystem.com Strangely, they knew way back then the rules responsible for what happens on the deepest quantum level are exactly the same rules of physics, chemistry and biology that control everything from the individual at a cellular level right through to the most complex organisms. A cell has its own versions of the very same biological components that make up a whole person. Each cell has a digestive system, an excretory system, a respiratory system, a musculoskeletal system, an immune system, a reproductive system and a cardiovascular system. A cell also interacts with other cells in its community via special SIGNALS, much in the same way we communicate with fellow members of our community through speech, language, art and music. Just as we feel stifled and unable to perform optimally when we are forced into an environment that feels threatening or alien, cells react in a similar manner when subjected to unfavorable conditions. Cells will only thrive in the right environment, a healthy environment. In my case, the working environment I was in was so negative, alien and stress-‐ inducing that my immune system actually started to attack itself and, at a relatively early age, I got my first taste of a life-‐threatening disease. As soon as I left that environment and decided to move closer to my music partner, Dr Mishra, to do more of what I really love,…. I got better. Not just better, but I became more successful, happy and wealthy than ever before in my life. Knowing what I know now, I actually believe if I were to go back to my old job to work with the same managers, I would probably be able to handle the environment a lot better and possibly THRIVE. I was stressed back then because of how my mind perceived the environment at the time. Your beliefs and perception of life events can be changed by outside influences; these influences can go on to make dramatic changes to your life. Many self-‐healing miracles, great feats of endurance and world records get broken all the time because individuals have changed their perception about the situation. For example, mankind never believed the record for the 4-‐minute mile could be Copyright © 2011 Niraj Naik MPharm All Rights Reserved. Page 7 http://www.AlphaMindSystem.com broken, but since it was surpassed by Roger Bannister in 1954, it has been broken many times, over and over, by other people. Many people live in fear when facing chronic disease, holding the belief that this day could be their last, just because a doctor has told them they will never get better and may have only six months left to live. Others facing similar circumstances choose to live a life of full of love and gratitude and overcome their illness, or are at least at peace with their illness, and are enjoying every moment of life. I was actually told by my gastro-‐intestinal consultant I would have this disease for life and my symptoms were so bad I would probably need fairly high doses of medication every single day! As you can imagine, this horrified me! The fact I had also been reading various horror stories on the ulcerative colitis forums of many sufferers complaining of being housebound for years made me feel even worse. The thought of never leaving my house and being stuck to the toilet seat for the rest of my life was incredibly depressing, as I'm sure you can imagine! For a long time, I began to believe what the doctor told me was true and I remained sick and house-‐bound. But then, something quite miraculous happened…. Deep down inside I knew this could not really be true; I still had so much to give in the world and a burning passion for music and helping others. I remembered coming across a few stories on the forums of people who had recovered successfully from chronic illness. I wanted to know more about their story and exactly how they did it. I started to focus more on the positive stories of recovery, rather than the negative. Suddenly, I began receiving positive information in the form of books, people I attracted and communities of likeminded souls. This new information gave me the belief and strength I could get well again and my PERCEPTION and BELIEF of my disease changed. As mentioned earlier, a tiny cell can die in the wrong environment. But, by the forces of nature, it always tries to seek out a community that will help it to thrive. “Quantum healing is healing the bodymind from a quantum level. That means from a level which is not manifest at a sensory level. Our bodies ultimately are Copyright © 2011 Niraj Naik MPharm All Rights Reserved. Page 8 http://www.AlphaMindSystem.com fields of information, intelligence and energy. Quantum healing involves a shift in the fields of energy information, so as to bring about a correction in an idea that has gone wrong. So quantum healing involves healing one mode of consciousness, mind, to bring about changes in another mode of consciousness, body.” Deepak Chopra, Quantum Healing The Human Brain The human brain is quite a complex system consisting of many different, interconnected parts working harmoniously together under the right circumstances. Here are the major areas: 1. The brain stem -‐responsible for biological functions like eating, breathing, sleeping, sex, instinct and reflexes 2. The limbic system -‐ a set of brain functions primarily responsible for subconscious interpretation of stimuli from the five senses. 3. The neo-‐cortex -‐ the primary center for your conscious, cognitive control The more important areas to consider are the limbic and neo-‐cortex because they are responsible for processing the energy, or information, from your 5 major senses. Research shows that these senses produce 11 million bits of information per second, which are all processed in the limbic system, but only 40 bits per second are passed on to the neo-‐cortex for conscious processing (thinking, planning, etc). This means 99.9% of all information from our five senses is only subconsciously processed! The limbic system controls the experience and expression of emotions, as well as automatic functions of the body. By producing emotions (such as fear, anger, pleasure, and sadness), the limbic system enables you to behave in ways that help you communicate and survive physical and psychological upsets. Copyright © 2011 Niraj Naik MPharm All Rights Reserved. Page 9 http://www.AlphaMindSystem.com There is much debate whether your subconscious mind only resides in your brain. Your limbic system is closely connected to your entire nervous system and receives signals from every major cell in your body. There is now compelling evidence that your subconscious mind is really part of a much greater collective consciousness of your entire body. Your True “Brain” Experiments by Dr. Bruce Lipton showed the previously believed notion that DNA is the “brain” of the cell is actually wrong. It has since been proven by many people that actually the tiny cell membrane that surrounds the cell is the true “brain” of the cell. If you were to remove the DNA of a cell, surely it would die if it were the brain of the cell, just as if you were to remove the brain from your body, you would die instantly. But, in experiments the cell would continue to function normally for many months. “Could it also be true that what we perceive as the “brain” of our bodies that resides in our skulls is also not entirely true?” You must have heard the expressions: “My gut instinct.” or “Sorry, but my heart just isn't in it” “Why do so many people say that?” Howard Martin of the now famous HeartMath Institute writes: “At HeartMath we’ve spent the last 15 years diligently studying the “heart” physically, emotionally and spiritually. Our researchers have been mapping the communication pathways between the heart, the brain and the rest of body while also studying the effects of positive emotions on health and performance. What we’ve learned is that the heart is the master controller in the human system capable of sending powerful, healing commands throughout the entire body. These signals from the heart have a dynamic impact on the nervous, hormonal and immune systems. They also influence brain function and have the ability to improve cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, psychological problems and more. In essence our old friend the heart may be the best healer of all.” Copyright © 2011 Niraj Naik MPharm All Rights Reserved. Page 10 http://www.AlphaMindSystem.com
