Hi dmac,
I have been travelling most of the day but have found a couple of links and comments from some very experienced meditators and well respected members that may be of help to you...
Experiences of LF 9 - LF 1?
A question or two about Lifeflow...
Here’s what Bruce Speakman says after trying many other companies…
"There are special things about this program that place it in a category all of its own"
"I'm 64 years old and have been a meditator for many years. Like so many people my age, I was drawn to meditation during the 60s and explored many options from the mantras associated with Eastern religions to the fascinating audio meditations found in the Brainwave programs, the Monroe Institute, and Centerpointe.
I found Michael's website in the early days of the development of Lifeflow and was extremely excited by his attitude, knowledge, and the potential of this new technology.
He certainly DID NOT let me down.
There are many excellent programs that are somewhat similar and base their methods on such things as the binaural beat system and stereo headphone listening.
While Lifeflow could be considered one of these, there are special things about this program that place it in a category all of its own.
One real difference is the recordings themselves. They seem just a bit more powerful than the competition. Over the past few years, I've been drawn to certain files that instantly place me in a meditation state that I find to be extremely beneficial.
And, I truly appreciate the lack of extraneous information found in this program. One is able to begin with this meditation almost immediately and see real results in a relatively short amount of time. And, the more one puts into the program, the more dramatic the results will be.
It's a privilege to be part of Lifeflow.
Thanks to Michael and the whole team.

"Mostly it's one of my favourite things to do during the day"
I've been practicing meditation for 32 years, starting with TM in my 3rd year of medical school. My interest in the field of consciousness grew and I left medicine several months after graduating to focus on this.
I spent the next decade working with a specific active breathing meditation plus I was meditating with a mantra from a teacher I spent time with in India.
Life moved on and so did I but I always maintained an interest and a level of personal practice in meditation & consciousness work. I became aware of brain wave entrainment just over a year ago and came across Life Flow while I was on level 1 of another programme.
The Life Flow package looked like more advanced technology and cost less than the one I was using. I knew I was enjoying what I was experiencing with the other programme so I bought the whole Life Flow series and I have never regretted that decision.
I use it most days and it is still a delightful surprise for me to enter the "zone" where my breath frees up and I literally bathe in the energy of life itself.
By "delightful surprise" I mean to bring attention to the ease and consistency of the experience. Ease in that it is such an easy thing to pop in some headphones, switch on the track, sit back or up or lie down and simply enjoy. Consistent in that the results are consistent, every time without fail my mind is gently led in the right direction till it is sitting firmly and comfortably into a nicely aware and peaceful space.
I can also sense that working further and further into my day now as I progress through the deeper levels of the series. Mostly it's one of my favourite things to do during the day but on the occasional restless night it's a great way to get back to sleep !
Michael, I also wanted you to know that I've really appreciated the energy and tone behind your continued communication and education.
It's always positive and upbeat and doesn't slip into using negativity to spur a buying decision like a lot of people marketing on the net do.
And whenever I have needed any technical support your staff have been so warm and friendly to deal with.
One other thing is for sure - this Christmas there will be more iPods in the house, as my wife has grown attached to it as well and I'd love my girls to have more regular access to it too.
Whatever you choose I wish you much peace and joy
