A question or two about Lifeflow...

[monkeymind]

Hi,
I'm interested in trying Lifeflow but having bought the first level of Holosync and been inundated with brazenly greedy money-grabbing emails ever since, I'm a little wary. I'm wondering if the same will happen if I subscribe to Lifeflow... Can anyone tell me?
Thanks............

Hi Monkeymind,

No, you don't get inundated with sales emails at all. The most you get from Michael is a newsletter which, if you've signed up here to download the Discover Meditation course, you will probably be on the list to get already. However, that's a good thing as the newsletter usually contains much valuable advice.

If you don't sign up to Lifeflow you do occassionaly get some emails telling you about it's benefits and obviously trying to get you to sign up to it, although I'm sure you can unsubscribe from those if you choose (if the options not there, just use the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page on this forum and ask the Admin team to take you off the email list).

Quite simply, if you sign up to Lifeflow, you will only get an email to remind you when your next level becomes available to download (assuming you're going for the download option and not the hard CD option). There's certainly no hard-selling money-grabbing emails involved from my experience.

Also, if you do sign up to Lifeflow, the default is that you get the next level on a monthly basis. If that doesn't suit you e.g. you'd prefer them every 2 months you can just contact admin to request that and they'll do what they can to accomodate. And, if you get so far with the levels and then want to stop you can easily request that too and pick up where you left off later on should you wish to do so.

The admin team here are very helpful and do what they can to suit your individual needs. (speaking from personal experience, they haven't paid me to say that )

Hugs

I emailed them my bank account number but unfortunately, nothing as of yet ( this is a joke of course )

As a Holosync customer, I know exactly what Monkeymind means. It is a source of continual amusement to me, as most of the products they recommend in their weekly (or more) emails would be unnecessary if the original product did what it was originally claimed to do.

And no, it is quite different here. Actually that was a main reason for me to switch, apart from the presence of Ta-Tsu-Wa.

you and Ta-Tsu-Wa already knew each other before you joined this community? a nippy scootch of a swim from Norway to Alaska.

No, I did not know him at all. My guiding spirit / God did, the one who taught me meditation before I even knew that it had a name. It is beyond the scope of this forum, I suspect, and indeed any forum I can think of.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

All audio equipment specially headphones and speakers do perform very sub-linear and perform very poor or not at all at these frequencies.
LifeForm instructions told me to play as is... The first thing I noticed was a very deep (pretty loud) deep hum. I do have an high end audio-system that is able to produce deep tones, but don't know anything about the linearity. What is the right amount these tones... Linearity is pretty much a non defined variable in this matter.

Other: Can ultra low frequency be compressed at all. What's the frequency range of mp3? 0-xxKhz depending on the bitrate?
In case of binaural beats at low levels... Is it still present in compressed format or completely masked?

A few comments would be appreciated. (raven?)

I am interested in these questions, any comments or answers?

To respond to the first part of your post I think you may be confusing pitch (wave) frequency with entrainment frequency. Human hearing falls in the range 20-20,000 Hz and most decent headphones capture this audio range. Entrainment pulses can be of any pitch frequency that is audible (ie. 20Hz-20kHz), but vary in terms of beats (cycles) per second, also measured as frequency in Hz. Thus an entrainment pulse of 10Hz simply means it pulses 10 times per second, independent of pitch.

I have a technical question that few members will probably be able to answer -- unless Raven is still around? I notice in the FAQ that Lifeflow considers the CD and MP3 versions equally effective. But I wonder how that can possibly be...as CD files are normally MUCH larger than the compressed MP3's, which are made from them.

In the case of Lifeflow, for instance, I'm assuming the one-hour CDs must be about 350-400 MBs. Most MP3s of similar length are only about 50-60 MBs. That's a huge difference! So it's hard to believe that nothing is lost in the transfer.

Can someone please check, and let me know the size of the downloaded, 40-minute, MP3 version? I'm trying to decide which version to order. It would be a big help.

Much thanks....

As visibility says, it's not about the frequency of the sound waves being produced, but how they interact with each other to produce beats. As a very simplistic example, if someone strikes a drum you hear that sound, and if they're doing that once a second then that is a beat of 1Hz. Likewise, in the entrainment tracks, for binaural beats, the sound waves from the left and right, are out-of-sync just enough to produce a beat X number of times per second, as required. The sounds themselves are of higher frequency, but it's this out-of-sync (interference) pattern between the two that causes peaks and troughs in the sounds creating a slower beat frequency.
