A Question about Entrainment for the Experts! - Page 3

hi all, was just wondering how long is it recommended to listen to the meditations in one sitting . i listen while i catch the train too work ,1 1/2 hours then the same time homewards and will often use the meditations to go to sleep at night . . i have meditated for many years and also did 2 levels of holosync [not as good as lifeflow, methinks ] and enjoy the experience ...i guess my question is, is too many repeat sessions in one sitting ok or am i in danger of frying my brain...lol regards justin

Yes Askmenow, in fact, your brain may have started to fry allready. You should smell chicken right about now allready

The only "danger" of overmeditating is that there may be too much emotions or memories released at once. If this is not the case with you, you are fine

I am amazed that I have reached this website, I asked google for breathing excercises for meditation and I found all this info, thankyou spirit.

I seem to have found likeminded people and knowledegable which i am certain to benefit. Can I introduce myself as a spiritual person and therefore a strong believer in our own spirits and hence the spirit has a life forever. thankyou for listening.

I will begin LifeFlow 7 this week.I have read some info about theta waves, but can you explain it better? I think the info that's in the site is not very sound... I thimk we need more info about this type of brain wave.

theta waves run from about 4 hertz up to about 8 hertz. they are good for deeper states of meditation than alpha waves. could you please specify what information you are looking for?

Dear friend,
I don't know what to expect (?) from these forms of brain waves: what kind of experience they provoke? do we have physical reactions too, as I had in Lifeflow9? to what we can compare this new experience? I don't know if I made myself more clear... maybe because it's hard to explain my - I think - fears of the unknown...

Yes, the people on here are really loving and honest in their responses to others. I too feel I have been attracted to an amazing forum of people who enlighten me with every visit! It is so good to find people on the same path as you, looking at the 'truth', trying to get there and trying to help others on their quest too. Why aren't there more sites like this, that are so giving, isn't this what human nature is truly about? Those who have found are passing it on to others, those that are learning are sharing their experiences and asking questions, usually to receive several answers, and then debates, but serious debates that are intelligent and inciteful. Yes, I think we have found some like-minded people...

Happy 2009!

Here's to a more intelligent, more spirited 2009, with everyone's help on here, you are a brilliant bunch of people with an abundance of love which radiates out...what more could we all hope for in 2009, an abundance of love to all of you xxx

if you are using these tracks for meditation you should have some kind of meditation experience. that will be different from person to person. just having theta or alpha or delta waves all by itself is not the "experience". the experience is what you are doing or trying to do while those brainwave states are in play. my own opinion is people make far too much out of just having certain brainwaves. you experience alpha, theta and delta brainwaves many times every single day as you go through the stages of sleep. they do not produce frightening or unsettling responses in you at that time so why would they produce them just because you encourage them to appear with an entrainment track? i think your reactions come more from the activity you are pursuing rather than from the brainwaves that are going on. as others have suggested, meditation brings up repressed feelings. using entrainment to promote better meditation might speed up the release of buried thoughts and feelings but the brainwaves alone or the entrainment track itself is probably not the source of the feelings. it just quickens their release.

Thank you, Grey, for your answer... After I read it, I thought a lot, and I agree with you: buried thoughts and feelings are being released. But, just with this - I noticed - I am certainly more creative, writing a lot for my work (and it's not easy stuff, writing and having the texts accepted for publication ...), more calm less stressed. And with an infinite patience with my mother,who has Alzheimer. Thanks again!
