Hi John,
I hope the following post that I made about a week ago helps you understand how LifeFlow benefits me after going through all the levels some time ago. I tend to listen to my personal favourites which are 7,5,3 and 1.
I hope this helps you to understand how progressive meditation is and how LifeFlow continues to be useful even when you have completed the series. Michael is having some gamma waves created I believe.(I think for a deeper spiritual connection???) Anyway here's the post - hope it helps
Letting go.
I have commented many times on the huge changes in my life through meditating with LifeFlow for about 20 months now. I want to share with you something that has happened twice now which at the time seems really important to me and I just know that I have let go of some huge negative energy that I have supressed most of my life.
The reason I am writing this and I hope it isn't too long is so that if it happens to you you will understand how to deal with it.
Just before I tell you about the second experience I had earlier to-day I will list a few of the changes that have happened to me over time and regular meditation. Because I do not analyse anything much with meditation and simply accept what it brings I cannot say in order which benefits came first.
It's also an important point to understand that I have really suppressed some very deep emotions for most of my life.
Some of the benefits I enjoy:-
I make decisions often instantly and easily.
I am able to live consiously, enjoy life more and not be concerned about time.
I look forward and enjoy my "special time" each day (I do however accept whatever happens. Even now my mind can be busy sometimes and that's O.K.)
I feel calm, relaxed and in control of situations when they happen instead of feeling under pressure.
I don't watch the tense kind of films I used to (hopefully my painbody is diminishing.
I know exactly when I have had sufficient to eat, although I enjoy what I do eat so much more.
I cannot remember feeling angry for a long time
I feel deep inner peace and joy in my life.
I am really enjoying this amazing progressive journey through meditation
To-day is the second time that something that felt really important happened to me and although I have observed and let go of many negative emotions over time (probably a little at a time) I really felt I let go of something huge to-day.
After doing LifeFlow to-day (which felt deeply relaxing) I felt tired and thought I would just stay quiet and enjoy the feeling and the rest for a few minutes. However I fell asleep for about 20 minutes. I had a horrible dream and woke up feeling total fear and dread. Now I know this has happened occasionally throughout my life as it does to all of us. I was just about to give a sigh of relief and feel grateful that it was only a dream and then I suddenly realized here was an opportunity to observe.
It took some courage to do this at first but I just felt aware of this horrible feeling of fear and dread and observed that my stomach felt full of this horrible negative energy. I watched it for probably seconds (it felt longer) and then it began to slowly subside until it emptied completely from my stomach. All my fingers felt tingling in the same way my body does often during meditation (I really like this feeling) and I felt like I was letting it all go through my fingers. When I got up I felt really drained for a while after but felt something very good had happened. I know I let a very deep fear go.
My main point being, if this happens, don't be afraid - it's a great opportunity to let go of something big I believe. I wish you all happiness and joy on your progressive journeys. WOW Life is amazing
