Brain waves

Posted August 30th, 2008 by Helen Davis in Awakening

 I think we are so lucky to be living in a time when technologies such as Holosync (see Ken Wilber's conversation with Bill Harris) are available. However I would like to sound a possible note of caution for people who suffer with chronic, endogenous, atypical depression, like me. When I moved on to a certain level I experienced a depressive episode, which stopped when I stopped using Holosync. After a little while I tried again, and the same thing happened. Undaunted, three months later I tried again, and once more experienced a depressive episode. I contacted Holosync's excellent advisory team, and was advised that this was probably another symptom of resistance. This may well be the case but depression is something it's very difficult to detatch from, and just let happen. In fact, on the advice of a therapist several years ago I did try this, and ended up with a full blown nervous breakdown, so am not keen to try it again. Having undertaken a little research into this myself, it seems to be fairly common 'knowledge' among main stream medics, in both the USA and UK, that certain brainwave frequencies can indeed trigger a depressive episode. My experience, on the face of it, would seem to back this up. I wonder if anybody else has has this experience, and how they dealt with it.

HOLoSYNC

Posted August 31st, 2008 by GERARDO MAZA

 I have been using the holosync program for about eight years. Initially when going up a level there can be an adjustment where I would experience irritability, tiredness and depression and varying degrees. however this passes in time. Also I always am working with other methods in dealing with what comes up. The 3-2-1 method, the sedona method, the focusing method of Eugene Gendlin, deep breathing and physical exercise are all good ways to move the energy  so that it doesn't get stuck in any one place.
There is a school of thought that says you must go into the pain, this may be true in some instances however if you stops being able to function normally, this is not the way.

It seems to me that depression is not an island it is connected to other things.
Breathing in the good of the universe through the nose and breathing out the pain through the mouth.
Consciously moving your attention or mind to your lower dantien or energy center just below your belly button. 
Adjusting to always hold a good and relaxed posture. thinking optimistic thoughts of the future. I would suggest if choosing to use holosync, to take a break when your depression begins to arise and to work on clearing and healing the wound before you continue.
Hope I am not to off subject.
 Also a very good practice is to do the plain sitting meditation without the holosync.

Delving into Depression

Posted September 8th, 2008 by Alan Sato

I've been one to delve into depression, although I wouldn't say depression, just heavy duty listlessness when waking in the morning.  I'm getting close to the point of being ok with it without having to change it.  It leads into a sort of lying down meditation.  I fade in and out of sleep and have dreams that I can do 3-2-1 on.  I feel much more transparent to myself.
