I have been sitting (meditating) 2+ times/day for about a decade. By using that practice (and the philosophies behind it) I can generally stay in that 'alpha' state much of the time. I try to remember that whatever I am doing, is what I am doing. That moment is it, and all others will happen in their own time.
