Lifeflow vs Holosync - questions?

[Area88]

I just today started Lifeflow 10 because I ran into some problems with Holosync, I got to end of Purificaiton level 2 and the program just stopped working. For 4 months I've tried to get it working but I've no idea what went wrong, in the mean time my generalised anxiety has been geting worse and worse so in desperation I'm trying this program instead.

My main question is why does the program start at alpha brain wave? Also is it really as strong as Holosync in frequency?

I don't know about holosync, but why shouldn't it start at Alpha?

Brainwave States

If you do a search of this forum for holosync, you'll find plenty of people who have used both technologies and have preferred Lifeflow to Holosync, often finding Holosync's way of working to be "too much" or "causing too much upheaval" etc.

Hi Area and welcome to the community

I would highly recommend that you check out the Brainwave States link that Giles has suggested.


Here's a piece from the LF instructions which explains why you begin with LifeFlow 10 (first Alpha level) and how each level builds a solid foundation for the next level...

"Some states of consciousness are natural, yet are not common. States like the alpha levels we go in and out of regularly throughout our day and so entering them in meditation feels somewhat more "familiar" than entering a waking state of theta might feel. Because we already have a good deal of experience with alpha it is relatively easy to begin working our meditations towards the alpha levels.

We all know what it feels like to suddenly find ourselves aware that we were lost in a daydream. That was an alpha state. So in the beginning of learning meditation if I tell you that you're going to experience an alpha meditative state you have at least an idea what that experience might be like. However, if I said to you, "You’re going to start learning to meditate at a delta level," you would have no idea at all how that might feel or what to expect. Your chances of successfully entering delta while still awake and then staying there would be greatly reduced.

When to move onto the next deeper level

Once you become comfortable and familiar with LifeFlow 10 and begin to experience benefits in your daily life (Feeling calmer etc.) you will be ready to move onto the next lower frequency. We recommend you stay with each level for at least 30 days, though some prefer 60 days.

Each level of LifeFlow will guide you gently and naturally into an extremely beneficial brainwave state that builds a solid foundation for the next deeper level. Each step is equally interesting, equally unique and equally valuable."

Here's a piece from a review offered by a Dr. Stickle...

"LifeFlow meditation is a neural entrainment program; it allows one to go to great depths in meditation--similar to monks or meditators that practice for many, many years. With LifeFlow, you can achieve these same results, but without waiting and practicing for years. I make this assertion based on my own long experience with meditation and with the LifeFlow program.

LifeFlow meditation is far superior in terms of technology (as compared to Holosync) and it works for anyone, with or without any meditation background. It can be used with or without headphones. The excellent customer support, community website and the many, many free meditation tracks on all manner of topics makes this a truly outstanding program. There are 10 separate meditations to the LifeFlow meditation program, each builds on the one before and each one is incredible. They even offer a free 14 minute sample which in itself is a powerful program and worth listening to
when time is limited. The LifeFlow meditations are 40 minutes in length. I would endorse this program wholeheartedly over Holosync any day."

Hope this helps and wish you much peace and joy

Are you saying that this program enhances the meditation program that you are all ready on? As apposed to being a meditation program by it self.

I've just been listening to the LifeFlow demo recording for around a week and I thought that just listening to it was supposed to take you into a meditative state.

As yet I haven't had any noticeable results from it. So I will try listening to it while I am doing my technique for meditation.

I'm not familiar with the site yet and there is a lot here. Do you have a section that has meditation routines, or scripts?

[GilesC]

No, Lifeflow is not a means to be taken into a meditative state (though care should be taken to avoid listening to it when operating machinery etc. as it could effect awareness).

Lifeflow is brainwave entrainment
Meditation is ... well... meditation, not brainwave entrainment.

Lifeflow can be used without meditation, but better results are often found when doing it with meditation.

They're different things, but they complement each other.
