A question or two about Lifeflow...

[Whitefort]

Hi guys - I'm new here, and I have a question or two about the Lifeflow system.

I've been glancing through the CD contents, and (if I've understood it correctly!!!) it seems that you start with CD 10, eventually working to CD 1 progressing to the next CD after a month or so - and that this progression slowly trains your brain to get to deeper and deeper states/rhythms.

My main question is: does this mean that the earlier CDs 'force' your brainwaves to stay at Alpha levels? What I mean is, if someone is a semi-experienced meditator, will using the earlier CDs keep them at a shallower level of meditation than they're used to?

Since Michael has kindly made CD 10 available as a freebie for signing up, I'm certainly going to give it a shot - it certainly seems to demonstrate that he has faith in his products - but I have to admit to being a little worried in case the CDs restrict me to nothing but Alpha for the first few months.

Thanks!

John

About Lifeflow

Hi John,
this link may answer your question. After meditating for a number of years I bought the Lifeflow pack earlier this year. I had praticed T.M. for years and used binaural beats also. I began with Lifeflow 10 and found it to be amazing. I have actually listened to all the tracks now with and without headphones. To-day, I meditated with Lifeflow 8 and it was wonderfully peaceful. I use the Alpha and theta levels the most because of all the beneficial hormones that are released. The scientific research is also really informative reading. Hope this answers your questions John.Peace and happiness to you Pollyanna

I have no experiance with Life flow, but I don't think the Life Flow can keep you in the wrong level just by itself.

As advanced as this system might be, it's no more than an aid in meditation.
Don't expect it to be a miracle system where you just sit down, close your eyes and listen to the music and "shazam" you are in a deep state.

You have to know how to meditate, and obviously you allready know that.
I personally think ( again, no experiance ) that Michael made 10 cd's so that you can get used to the concept of music/sounds during meditation, gradually adding more so the brain can cope.

Maybe it's best to just follow the one month steps for now, and if you notice that it affects your state of mind that you allready reached, or notice a negative result in your everyday life, you could temporarily do an extra meditation the way you are allready used to every day.

But just to be sure, I think you better wait until Michael responds here too

Good luck with your meditation !

Thanks for the replies, guys.

Since posting, I've had a CD 10 session. Wow. I'm impressed.

For years now, I've been meditating (on and off - usually to deal with stressful times). I've also tried various CDs and tapes, from the 'self-hypnotic' stuff, to CDs that sneak the rhythms into music, to the 'pure' binaural stuff that just usually sounds like swooshes and buzzes.

Obviously I can't comment on the effectiveness after a single session, but I will say that it was a NICE session. I was expecting more binaural swooshes and buzzes, and this was a very pleasant surprise.

OK. I'm going to try to stick with this, and give it the full 10 months.

Absolutely brilliant and well done for giving it a go. As the saying goes nothing ventured - nothing gained. Before Lifeflow, meditation used to be a chore to me. Lifeflow is my special rejuvenating time - I love it and I'm sure you'll benefit greatly from it too. It's so natural and healthy Pollyana

Hi, been using another product for about a year now, going through various levels, so I was really interested to learn from Michael that headphones werent neccesary anymore. Used CD10 today without headphones and was really impressed! I am also deeply grateful for Michael sharing all this with us. Bless you.

If I were you I would start again at the beginning.

But I would urge you to try to sit it out at least one time, just so you can experience the full benefit from the cd.
It would seem like a long time at first, but really, you deserve to have a private moment just for yourself for 40 minutes.

Maybe 30 minutes will allready do the trick for you too !

Hi
Can you tell me if one uses lifeflow 7 or 3 for exsample is the CD pure theta or Delta frequency or does it gradually go from beta to alpha and then on to Theta (in CD 7) and Delta ( in case of CD 3 )
Thanks
John
