Hemi-Sync: Getting Back In The Flow With Advanced Focus 10

Last night before falling asleep I listened to Advanced Focus 10. As I began getting comfortable and within 5 minutes of the audio I realized I was completely ignoring the instructions given by Monroe. This was because my mind was elsewhere thinking about random things. I had to start from the beginning 3 times. On the third attempt I managed to follow the instructions.

After getting comfortable I imagined my energy conversion box and inside this box I placed all my worrisome thoughts.

I then did the resonant tuning (a breathing exercise). I noticed as I was breathing that my eyelids and my forehead were very tense so I relaxed them. This helped feeling the energy in my head as I continued with the breathing exercise. I could feel the energy stored in my head increasing. More energy than usual, felt like something heavy crushing against my skull. Managed to stay conscious enough for the next part, creating my resonant energy balloon with the energy stored in my head. Felt tingling sensations around my feet as I was creating the resonant energy balloon.

By the time Monroe counted up to 10 I was feeling really spacey and light.

Smiling During Meditation

I meditated a few hours ago. The meditation lasted for a brief 10 minutes and I think I could've gone deeper had it not been for the external noise. I caught myself smiling without my control during this meditation session unaware of the reason for the smile. I remember experiencing this with the hemi-sync cd. I felt so calm and at peace.

Right now my main goal for meditation is to connect with my inner being / higher self. As well as meditating now (hopefully on a daily basis), I intend to listen to the hemi-sync cd before sleeping.

I'm Back But Not Yet That Bad...

So in the span of 2 weeks I think I almost cracked like a nut. The project I was working on was renovating a property that is currently getting there. What made the project worse than it should have been was that I had a deadline and a budget small enough for me to do most of the work.

I have never been so stressed in my entire life - not sure if this should be attributed to the fact that I haven't been meditating. So much for being mindful. I guess in retrospect my experience these past weeks have not been so bad - some things did go well.

I've decided to hire the professionals to finish off all the major works so I can just relax - for now. As for astral projections - I have not had any experiences as expected. I did however fall ill for a few days and the interesting thing about that is it happened at the time when I was most angriest.

I'm exhausted

I've just taken on a project which is requiring a lot of muscle work and right now I feel like a sack of potatoes. I might be working on this for about 2 weeks which means I'll have no time to meditate. I guess this is a great opportunity to try to be mindful (meditate) whilst working on my project.

I have a feeling that from this exhaustion I might have an astral projection. Here's what happened the last time I was this exhausted.

A Break From Hemi-Sync

I'm taking a break from listening to Hemi-Sync Gateway Experience, well sort of. Actually I'll be practicing the excersices I've learnt so far but without the CD. The reason for this is because I feel like lately I've been neglecting my earlier progress with meditation. Even though Hemi-Sync is a bit like meditating I feel like I'm relying on the CDs too much.

So I'm gonna go back to my evening meditation sessions and practice the excercises from Gateway Experience Wave I before going to sleep.

Astral Projection, Technique 3 From A Seth Book

'...he did so, and I highly recommend this method to you both. When you awaken, or seem to in the middle of the night, try simply to get out of the physical body. Simply try to get out of bed, you see, and to walk into another room white the physical body stays where it is.

If you keep this in mind, generally speaking, then you will find yourself able to do so within a brief time. It is a pleasant and easy way to achieve a projection, and with some experience you will discover that you can maintain good control, walk out of your apartment, and outside. You may then attempt normal locomotion, or levitation.

There is little strain with this method, and it has benefits from several viewpoints. Simply keep the method in mind so that you are alert to the initial favorable circumstances. You may be half awake. You may be in a false awakening. The method will work in either case. It offers good possibilities in another direction: you can, if you want to do so, look back at your own body.

You must want to do this however. Often you do not want to see the body by itself, so to speak, and so you choose methods that make this more difficult. just this one exercise will sharpen your control greatly. It is an ABC you see.

The experience will be much less startling to the ego than an abrupt projection, and the ordinary nature of the activities, walking into the next room for example, Will be reassuring. You are more calm, and in your own surroundings. Of course Ruburt was out of his body when he saw Miss Callahan, who was in the same condition.'

Astral Projection, Technique 2 from A Seth Book

'Your waking consciousness only participates in projections as a rule when you are in a period of high vitality, and exceptional health.

On occasion the waking consciousness does participate during other usually very depressed periods. But generally speaking high energy is needed in order to maintain overall stability, and in order that the ego is not overstrained. Such conscious projections are automatically spaced out. In this way there is little danger that problems will arise.

It is the same with the conscious retention of dreams in general. You are indeed exercising what amounts to an added ability. You are learning to manipulate within other dimensions of consciousness. Automatic controls are therefore used. You proceed as your abilities and control develop.

Suggestion given before sleep will greatly add to your chances of conscious projections from the dream state. It is not necessary, basically speaking, that you notice some small incongruous detail in order to realize while dreaming that you are dreaming. There is however one good method to use. The suggestion 'I will realize while dreaming that I am dreaming' can also be used, as another method, or both of these may be utilized together.

At your stage it is of course easier if the actual separation of consciousness from the physical body occurs without your awareness. However the experience itself is excellent training. I have told you that these projections may carry you to different systems. In the beginning you are safer perhaps in those projections that involve your own reality.

There is not any great matter of danger, only that you could fall into blunders. The north-south position is most beneficial. It might be of benefit if you concentrate before sleep upon a simple projection that involves leaving the body, walking out into this room, for example, (the living room) or perhaps strolling around the block.

When falling off to sleep for example, imagine that you are in your yard, in another room of your apartment, or in front of the house. When this method is effective you will not be consciously aware of the actual separation however. I do not suggest at this point that you or Ruburt attempt to contact me during any projection. Later, when you have more training.

If by chance you blunder (smile, eyes open) into my territory, then I will know it, and seek you out. Whenever you find yourself in any potentially dangerous dream situation during a projection, immediately terminate the dream. You will then return to an ordinary state of consciousness.

Now. Mr. Fox is quite correct. When you know you are in a projection do not be tempted to tamper. There are forces that you do not yet understand. You will find that these projections become more vivid. I must repeat that these are quite valid. They are not hallucinations. Conscious projections do not occur with any frequency as far as a large percentage of humanity is concerned. Note that I speak only now of projections in which you are self-consciously aware.

The reasons are somewhat obvious. Conscious projections are dependent upon abilities and control. Also this ability and control presupposes a fairly disciplined personality. Otherwise we would have explosive outbursts of suddenly released aggressions in systems where they do not belong.

It is quite possible to meet survival personalities, incidentally, during such projections. This does not happen often, because so many other issues are necessary. It is also possible of course to move into your own future. - This occurs regularly, though not always with awareness. Projections into the past are also frequent.

Because of some matters we have not yet discussed, at any rate deeply, it is possible to meet your own projection. You are accountable for acts committed during projections, of course, and these alter the personality as any acts do. If you have your wits about you, you can gain information concerning the future by studying your projection environment, if for any reason you suppose it to be ahead of You in time.

Some of this is extremely complicated. You may for example request before sleep that you project into your own future, to see what occurs there. This is legitimate enough, if you are willing to accept the results of your projections. For what you see will influence what you do in the present. You will be projecting of course into the probable future as it exists for you at this point.

The very act of projecting will alter these probabilities. I am not saying that this future environment is not real, however. It is as real as your present.'
