Lifeflow 1

[Issa]

The does anyone else find Lifeflow 1 creepy? I just downloaded it and find the whale sounds to be unsettling. And, I was really looking forward to getting LF1!

Are there any other versions of LF1?

I too find those animal sounds disturbing. But then again, LF1 is my "hated" track. If you read the archives here, you will find that it is quite common for people to have one track they particularly hate and/or one they particularly love. This says more about the person than the track, I think: My "loved" track is LF8, which is possibly the most frequently hated of them all. LF9 also takes a bit of flak, even though it sounds to me very bland. So you see, it is not particular to LF1.

Even though I am not personally fond of the whale sounds, I realize that with a deep delta track, it may be a good idea to have something like this to keep me from falling asleep. In fact, I am more likely to drift off with LF2 than with LF1, even though the last one is deeper. So in that regard it is a success.

I recommend giving it some time, and using the previous track some of the time (like every other day, or even more often). It is quite common to see people enjoy a track they disliked when they first heard it.

Hi there Issa, it's around 3 years ago that curiosity got the better of me when I first began LifeFlow - I had a quick listen to all the soundscapes and thought both LF7 and LF1 sounded quite scary - surprizingly they are now 2 of my favourite tracks

Try not to focus on the whales and notice if you feel any sensations that you can observe (but don't try to find any)

If you don't get used to it, maybe you could try one of the gamma tracks which you get free once you have gone through the LF series - I love Nirvana

You'll probably be surprised after using the series, how much you still enjoy LF10, LF9 etc.

Let us know how you go on - wishing you continued peace and joy

P.S. Don't forget the free "Midnight Express" track too - excellent track and deeply relaxing - well done on your commitment and I'm so glad you sleep well now

Hi all,
I was surprised to read that lifeflow 8 is supposedly disliked by many.
I like it very much!!!
It is reassuring to read of people who have been meditating with lifeflow for 3 years of more.
Does it enhance your overall cosnsciousness?

Hi there mperrotin, yes it definately does for me - meditating with LifeFlow has enhanced my life in truly tremendous ways. I feel so much more aware of everything and others (it's difficult to describe a thousand things which I have become so much more aware and conscious of) I wish you an abundance of peace and joy
