Lifeflow 10

[MrPaddy]

Hi all,

I've been using LifeFlow 10 for about a week now, and I'm extremely impressed! I've tried assorted meditation tools before - all the binaural stuff like the Brain Sync series - but never found one I felt like sticking with. I've always been inclined towards thinking I'm not "doing it right" when I meditate, but the free course was very helpful and now I don't worry about that anymore and just enjoy whatever thoughts/daydreams/images happen to come up in my mind as I listen. Sometimes I spend most of the time imagining I'm a pebble being carried along in a stream, other times I've found myself having conversations with my dead father or what seems to be another version of myself - haven't yet worked out if it's supposed to be me in the future or just another side to me now, but either way he's rather clever!

I've had a really heavy cannabis habit for most of the last five years, and have never really found anything that could fill the gap I felt without it. Well I stayed off the dope for 24 hours before my first lifeflow session as advised (and that was bloody difficult I can tell you!) and after one session of feeling all those lovely pulses and flickers and what I recognise to be elevated serotonin levels (recognise because they're exactly how the weed used to make me feel) I no longer felt like I was enslaved to my habit. I haven't quite managed to kick the tobacco yet but hey, it's early days, one week out of ten months and already I'm comfortably away from my main vice. While I'm still feeling the need for cigarettes at the moment the number I'm smoking has vastly reduced and I feel confident I will probably be able to quit somewhere down the line of the ten/twenty months that I'll be on this program for. I certainly know I want to follow it all the way to the Gamma tracks!

I have one small question regarding meditation posture: I have a severe hamstring injury in one of my legs so have found I can only really meditate lying flat on my back - sitting is very difficult and as for sitting cross-legged, well! - does anyone know whether doing it lying down will be inhibiting my practise at all? Doesn't feel like it, but I thought I'd ask anyway!

My best wishes to you all - must say when I first saw this website I thought most of the forum posters must be undercover employees planting such positive testimonials but I've re-thought that now!

Hi MrPaddy and welcome to the community

You made a good descision to try LF, there cant be anything wrong with meditating itself

Regarding the meditation posture, there are a few threads which may help you, like Laying down while meditating?

I've been using LF-10 for about 20 days now. There are a number of benefits that I am beginning to notice. First of all, I have slept like a rock for the last 6 nights in a row. I am 57 years old, and that kind of long term experience was, I thought, just a memory for me. Even on the nights when my kidneys are adjusting the fluid content of my body, I am not getting up every two hours to use the bathroom. Instead, I find that I wake up with a full bladder. It's not a bad thing, considering that it might be an indication of how deeply I was sleeping.

Life Flow, along with the free meditation course, has actually taught me how to meditate. I had been using entrainment technology from another source for 4 years, but could never really lay hold of meditation. Usually, I would just let my thoughts race, and was able to meditate only on rare occasions. With Life Flow, the meditation just seems to come so much easier. The benefit is that I am starting to know what meditation is like, and also enjoying the fruits of the exercise.

As a result of having regular exprience with meditation, I am finding that more and more I can enter a meditative state (of course, at my baby stage) very easily, any time. If clouds of thoughts come through, I can just observe them, let them go by, and resume the meditative state.

I am reading Mindfullness in Plain English, and the author confirms everything I have heard about real meditation being quite a quest, and a lot of hard work. I don't know, but it seems to me that LifeFlow makes it easy.

As a result of this new found ability to meditate whenever I need to, when it is time to go to sleep, I can quiet my mind on the spot. Racing thoughts can keep us very awake. But I just put myself in a meditative state (w/out the LF audio) and sleep comes...quickly, but when I don't know.

I am also really beginning to have the observer experience more than ever, after having read so much about it. I can look at others and see their side, and I can look at my own silly behavior, and recognize it for what it is - but without judgment. I have a kind of peace, and patience that no matter what the behavior, it will be resolved. I guess I am learning to "let go of wanting," something I learned in the Sedona Method.

Of course I don't deny that my prior experience with brain wave entrainment has given me a certain degree of development in these things. But it just seems that over the last 20 days, they are finally coming into place in a very profound and consistent way.

I don't want to be judgmental, but it seems that the other program is designed to give you dribs and drabs of progress, in order to stretch the cost out over most of your lifetime. With Micahel's Life Flow, I get the sense of the good will of someone who wants to give you as much as there is to offer, with all the good intentions that you can progress according as you are able to, without any hindrance. I have the feeling that there is someone who feels that this is my birthright and wants to see to it that I receive it. For this, I am most grateful.

I have always felt that there must be something better to this life. I think that meditation with LF brainwave entrainment will lead to that. Thank you sooo much, Michael!

Thats great news Paulmed and MrPaddy! Yes this site is the real deal, created, run and supported by conscious human beings who are sincere in sharing their experience. Ive been using Lifeflow for over a year now and it gets better and better.

Hi there Paddy and Paulmed, that's wonderful news and I am so pleased for you both

For a little more than three years I have meditated to Lifeflow and I still mostly lie down simply because it has become a most enjoyable part of my day. Initially I used to fall asleep sometimes and I put this down to the fact that I had experienced many sleepless nights for a number of years and I also had not felt so deeply relaxed for such a long time.

To sleep well once again is like heaven and this is just one of the benefits you will enjoy and there really are so many. To be able to observe and understand yourself and others is truly enlightening. When I am very busy, I have a lady who pops in to help me out with ironing - initially she chose to take it away and iron at her own house, however, for some reason she did it at my home a few months ago and as she was leaving she said how calm and peaceful she felt - she actually said she felt like she had had a lovely massage Now whenever she helps me out she always chooses to come to my home (for her relaxation as she calls it ) I simply put Classical Magic on for her

As Graham says, it just gets better and better.

I look forward to hearing how you progress and wish you an abundance of peace and joy

I'm curious about that last part. What is Classical Magic? Is it from PM? I hadn't seen it mentioned anywhere, in the promotional blurbs. Always looking for something new, and relaxing. Thanks....

[pollyanna]

Hi Bryan and sorry for almost missing your question about Classical Magic.

Michael and a collegue who works in music therapy created a beautiful compilation of classical tracks which also include the LifeFlow technology and the Shumman Resonance.

The rights for this, I believe, belong to Michaels collegue, however, Michael had the rights to do a promotion quite some time ago for Project meditation. I don't know if this other person is making Classical Magic as part of a package or making it available as it is, but it is not available at the moment.

I have mentioned to Michael and the PM team that I have a number of friends and family who would love to purchase the track and they have promised to let us know as soon as it becomes available.

I'm glad to see you are enjoying the community - there are some really helpful people here who have a great deal of knowledge to offer

I wish you an abundance of peace and joy on your continuing journey

Thaks for that Pollyanna, I too, was wondering what Classical Magic was, and now I know.

[GilesC]

I had the Classical Magic when it was offered too, though I found the choice of tracks a little too much on the dark side of classical music. Don't get me wrong, I do like some classical music, and even have some like Carmina Burana (Carl Orff) and Bach's Tacotta and Fugue in D Minor but I guess I'm quite selective about the classicals I like, and the ones on Classical Magic weren't really to my taste. I've listened to it a few times, though I prefer to just have the more natural relaxing sounds of Lifeflow or one of the others offered with Lifeflow, such as Optimal Learning. So, I guess what I'm saying is... you're not really missing out by not having Classical Magic, unless you fancied some nice background classical music for a posh dinner party

Hugs

Giles

Thanks Giles. Sounds as if I can stick with Enya. Some great stuff there...too bad nobody has embedded any brain entraining tracks into it.
