LF is just outstanding! I received the CDs on friday and decided to give it a shot. I have tried all sorts of brain enhancement technologies( from brainsync to iMusic) , but this is by far the best. So, on monday, all my classmates were stressed out about this super very important exam that afternoon so be4 I went to school I just listened to LF 10 and it worked wonders : all my fears and my anxiety were gone, replaced by a sense of wellbeing and fulfillment. I also listened to optimal learning right be4 the exam,and i felt very confident and focused. I totally aced it! I am so happy that I stumbled upon this amazing technology!

My question is, can I move on to LF9 after only 2 weeks of the previous cd? I have been meditating and using LOA for the past 3 years so i wonder whether thats a problem - BTW, I am able to stay awake during the entire cd.

Hi there and congratulations

That's wonderful news and I am so happy for you. I totally agree with you that LF is outstanding and I think you were very wise to play Optimal Learning just before your exam

I can understand your excitement in wanting to move through the levels faster, however, I truly believe that even though you have been meditating and using LOA for three years (and well done for that) you will gain maximum benefits by spending a month with each level.

Each LifeFlow level is important and after using the LF system for over 3 years I continue to enjoy meditation with each of the levels and will do so for the rest of my life.

I am excited to hear about your continuing progress. Once again, well done with your exam and I wish you an abundance of peace, joy and outstanding exam results

Hi there,

I am sorry if this question have been asked already. I am too hormonal to search the entire site he he. Is Lifeflow safe during pregnancy? I am so miserable at the moment. I haven't listen to lifeflow for quite sometime now, that is just the way I am, up and down, but now, in the first few weeks of my pregnancy, I feel so misarable and I could really do with it

Hope you are all happy and well

Hi Sogno,

I don't recall reading anything anywhere, officially or unofficially, about not meditating or doing lifeflow during pregnancy, and I can't think of any valid reason myself why it would be detrimental to pregnancy, in fact I would have though the relaxation and stillness you would achieve would be beneficial to pregnancy, as I have certainly heard about research that shows babies who were in the womb during anxious/stressful times for the mother exhibited different behavioural patterns as children than those who were, for example, played soothing music or talked to in the womb.

somewhere there is a post where a forum member said he and his wife played life flow in the delivery room during their child's birth because it was so calming. they highly recommended it.

I've been playing LifeFlow 9 for my granddaughters (2 and 4) to take their afternoon naps. Been doing it for well over a month now, on continuous loop. It seems to help them get to sleep straight away, and sleep soundly.

If I forget, the older one will say, "I want the water on."

Can't imagine Life Flow could do anything other than help with a pregnancy. After all, everybody is taught various breathing techniques for delivery, presumably to ease the pain and cause a calming affect.

Maybe If I had Life Flow back in the day, my wife wouldn't have buried her fingernails into my arms.

"Ouch, I'm sorry I caused you to be like this"

Hi guys,

thank you all for your replies. I did't realise pregnancy could be such a bad experience, with all the mather to be that I met who claimed to be a fantastic experience.... I am that depressed and sick all the time. Hopefully LF will ease this experience.

thanks again

Lots of love

Hi Sogno,

It doesn't have to be a bad experience. Clearly there will be changes happening in the body, such as changes to hormone levels etc. and these can have an effect on the way the body physically feels as well as the way the brain functions. For example, seratonin is a hormone that is important for the correct functioning of the brain and when levels of seratonin fall this is a common cause of depression. Seratonin is often referred to as the "happy hormone"

However, these are the things that are happening in the mind and the body and clearly you can observe these things happening.... but... if you are observing them, you can't be them. You are actually the observer and you can choose to distance yourself from the thoughts and activities of the mind or the pains and discomfort of the body and recognise that nothing, absolutely nothing, can stop you from being You, the observer.

Saying that, you do need to observe what is going on with the body and mind, and act in accordance with the needs of them. So, if you are observing pain in the body, you can stay detached from the pain, but take action to deal with the cause. Likewise with the mind, if you observe that it is not favourable i.e. it is becoming depressed or upset, you can observe this from outside and objectively look at what the causes are and what action can be done to help resolve it. These may involve seeing your doctor, but you can at least start to recognise that You are not sick, and You are not depressed, these are things of the body and mind that can be overcome with patience and postive action.

Keep us posted how you get on.

Hugs

Giles

Hi Giles,

Thank you for your reply. I know that it is all in my mind although it does feel so real. Maybe it is my sorrow arising from the knowledge that he does not want to know us that is manifesting itself in physical and emotional pain.
It will pass

Thanks again,

Sogno, it isn't just "in your mind". Giles is absolutely right; the changes taking place are in both your mind and your body. They're not imaginary. Take comfort in knowing that for most women the lion's share of the unpleasant hormonal changes occur during the first trimester. Once you get past that 12th week the fluctuations are somewhat less and your body has learned to adapt itself better to the changes yet to come, so you get relief in two ways.

I have a niece who is currently carrying her second child. During both the current as well as the first pregnancy she was subjected to very prolonged morning sickness which, as she told me, is a terrible name for it since it started in the morning and lasted until she fell asleep at night. She's only just recently passed into her second trimester and found the discomfort is largely relieved. Till now we've spent much time with her stimulating the various acupuncture points to help bring relief. Let me suggest a couple that might help alleviate some of the changes you're going through.

Below is Pericardium 6 or "PC6", known as Nei Guan. There's probably not a better point on the entire human body for relieving nausea and upset stomach, whether it comes from morning sickness, motion sickness, flu, or because you just ate something you shouldn't have.

If the point is very sensitive as it sometimes is when you're really nauseated, just press lightly on it for 10 seconds on, 10 seconds off. Do this about 3 times. You'll probably notice relief within just a minute or two. After it loses some of its initial sensitivity try pressing slightly harder and massaging it using small circles. You can also tap on it lightly as though using EFT. This is also effective.

The next point helps when you're feeling anxious, agitated, upset, or just out of sorts. This one is Heart 7 (HT7), known as Shenmen, or the "Spirit Gate".

HT7 is best used with either a steady pressure of with the 10 seconds on, 10 seconds off method. It's very easy to stimulate this point without anyone even knowing you're doing it which makes it useful if you're at work or elsewhere in public, but you can also work it while you're relaxing or just watching television. This point will help you to feel more calm and generally peaceful.

You'll probably benefit if you use these points even when you're feeling fine. Think of it as preventative acupressure that will assist in keeping unpleasant feelings from building up in the first place.

Give them a try and see if they make pregnancy a bit more pleasant. Both of these points, by the way, are considered safe for use during pregnancy. Not all points are, so if you're going to experiment on your own with acupressure be sure to look up your references in reputable material that gives contraindications and will spell out clearly whether a particular point is or is not recommended during pregnancy.
