I visited the websites you linked. Have you used products from either of these? If so, care to critique them?
I linked the Brain Ev site, because it seemed that Tess had heard of them and was trying to remember the name. I tried their demo download, but didn't purchase the full program. I am, however, an enthusiastic user of NP2 software from Transparent. I like the fact that the sessions can be customised, and I especially like the Superlearning tool. All sessions can be exported to MP3 format and I can often be found during my lunch breaks listening to such a session (my colleagues think I am listening to music lol!). |

Jeffrey Thompson's Gamma Meditation System CDs 1 and 2 have had good reviews. They're not expensive and can be played without headphones.

I have a gamma session I exported from NP2. Gamma is strange - I thought it would be like a "super-beta" session, i.e. focus and concentration on steroids, but it's actually rather spiritual. |

I'm sorry that these questions may seem a bit random, but I just recently started using the Holosync program, haven't had much experienced effect yet, and I was wondering if I can use a stereo earphone instead of a headphone, does it matter?
Also, I was reading through some comments online, and some people said that the .mp3 version won't work as well as the .FLAC version, is that true? Any input is greatly appreciated!

At the end of the day, what matters is not what you have, but who you have become.

Hi Sky,
Why are you using Holosync when you can learn to meditate? You are young so you have all the time in the world. I believe that Holosync is supposed to speed up the process of meditation. Some people have found it to be beneficial where others say it has caused problems like depression and so on. Holosync costs money and meditation is free. I have to say I am delighted you are interested in calming the mind as my son is not at the place where he wants to at his stage in life. Far too busy being too busy and doing tons of exercise and forgetting he needs down time. I talk to the wall lol xx. I hope you get answers about holosync from the forum - I have no idea - but please think about meditation as an alternative.
Love
Tess xx

Just my opinion--but I think the Universe is a lot like the mother who knows her children have different tastes and different needs. She prepares dishes for each of them. Any one dish is neither better nor worse than the others, but is perfect for the child who needs it.
So, some people do mindfulness meditation. Some do TM. Some do something else altogether. And each one is perfect for someone, although perhaps not to the taste of someone else. The Universe has set the table so that each of us can find what we need.
I don't think it behooves us to belittle what someone else is doing. Your type of meditation might not even work for someone, even though it's perfectly fine for you.

You seem more interested in correcting me than helping Sky!
Actually, no, I'm not into "correcting" anyone. On the other hand, I have the distinct feeling that any practices that are not yours are unwelcome topics of discussion here. That's ok. I'm the newbie here, and perhaps I shouldn't have spoken up. Apologies for that. I'll keep looking for a board that's more compatible for consciousness exploration. Onward... |

Brainwave entrainment can get the 'job' done for short term results (i.e. see Sueblue's post), but the deceptive advertising upsets many (i.e. 'meditate deeper than a zen monk' is Holosync's catchphrase where i live).
It's the modern day promise of the artificial 'forever'.
...and that headphone brain entrainment is 100% guaranteed harmless. I know from personal experience that Holosync hurt me.
Smoking was the old fashioned promise of the artificial 'forever',
...and was considered harmless 100 years ago.
it is important that we learn from our mistakes and don't just habitually give our power away without much thought.
I was attracted to this forum due to all the experienced members, but Tess particularly, because she is a constant voice against deception. Ruben James is also. Both narrowly cheated death, and that is a qualification which appears to sober one up. They don't claim to be saints, but they claim to be sobered compared to their previous selves.
Headphone brain entrainment is valid, as are cigarettes, or they wouldn't exist, but let's please cut out the bull!*#t.

InnerSun Teach,
The above was the main opinion i wished to express, but please let me add that you were posting a perfectly valid point also: -that the world is a much more complicated messed up place than it was many decades agos. What was the medicine in the 60's for example is alot different to the medicine required today. I know that traditional meditation didn't work for John Lennon, because you have to be of reasonably balanced mind to even attempt most traditional meditations. John was almost suicidal just before he met Yoko. Lennon's 'Working Class Hero' describes the mind of many young persons; -and it is alot worse today. Yoko was his 'mind' food, but he supported whatever gets one through the night; -it's alright. Brainwave entrainment is alright with the deceptive advertising removed is what i am saying.

This product is all hype. You would pay way too much for what you get.

I agree with that; -it's an interesting and clever markting strategy, however. If you are vulnerably curious; a touch arrogant, and are in the habit of being cheated by man-made solutions, you may prefer the hype and over-priced tag, with all the bells and whistles. otherwise you may see it for what it is; -(which is far short of what you're hoping it might be).

Holosync does have a regimen requiring daily 30 minute sessions, augmented by occasional full hour sessions during the week. This will naturally slow the process but still is said to produce good results.

I don't doubt it, and hence the product is indeed valid, but many suggest that it is overpriced using hype advertising, and delivers less and less the more you progress into the program (similar to drug abuse).
There are many forms of meditation, and this is not one of them in my view. It can defeinitely help to calm the mind, so it is nothing more really than an alternative to anti-depressants. The misleading advertising is the major concern.
