That's kind of a big message line, but I wasn't sure how to
"cover the waterfront" to include everyone who might be
interested.
It goes without saying that most of us here are concerned
with health -with regaining function, eliminating some
disorder or disease, returning to a more carefree and youth-
ful time and existence.
Recently I developed symptoms where I thought that premature
Kundalini awakening was taking place. Suffice to say that
a different sort of psychic activity was taking place, but
it did spark an interest in what was going on. This led me
to the " 5 Rites" which are 5 exercises which bring
the 7 chakras (or energy centers of the body) into alignment
(by alignment I mean that they all spin at the same rate).
This alignment is important because when one or more are
spinning slowly, the area of the body corresponding to it
responds with deterioration, disease and "aging." In the
chakras which are spinning normally (or in some cases faster
to "compensate" for the slower moving ones) you tend to get
anxiety, nerve damage and "overstress" or sensitivity to
life. If the chakras stop turning -you are dead.
Some rather miraculous claims are made for having all your
chakras aligned. I am particularly interested in this as I
do not wish to become dependent on ANY medication or therapy
no matter how wonderful it may be, if it means a lifetime of
ingestion. Somehow I've always believed that the body can
cure itself of any illness -especially if at some time the
body was not ailed at all. The "blueprint" for a healthy
body exists, and all I had to do was "access" it.
I believe that these rites are the way to access it. I have
just started with them, and so I cannot tell you yet how
well this theory fits with actual practice, but I will keep
you updated.
For the bolder amongst you, pick up the book called:
The Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth by
Peter Kelder & Bernie S. Siegel.

greg: these exercises have been around the metaphysical community for a long time. my own experience with them was, shall we say, less than dramatic, but i know several people who have cured themselves of serious illnesses by using them along with other modalities (meditation, vitamins, the things dr. stoll recommends). one friend even lessened his graying hair. i'd be interested in hearing more along the way.

Hi, Greg.
GREAT STUFF!
I just wish a lot more people would get into this as deeply as you have. Tonight I am giving an experiential session in which we will spend several hours allowing people to experience their Chakras in these ways. We will use a strobe (at the alpha/theta junction), the specific color projection for that Chakra and the precise frequency of sound to enhance the effect. Twenty minutes exposure leaves no doubters in the audience of the power of these approaches.
In my experience, Qi Gong is perhaps the most consistantly effective approach for a lifetime of what you are talking about. Even Tai Chi and Tae Kwan Do do a good job.
Of all the "yogas", perhaps the most powerful IS Kundalini Yoga.
Keep feeding us your knowledge. In my experience, It is RIGHT ON!
Namaste` Walt

Walt,
Thanks for the kind words. Something somewhat strange seems
to be occuring. For the last week or so, I have felt a kind
of "pressure" or heat at the base of my spine.
At first I attributed it to the psychic manifestation of the
end of a long-standing and deeply cherished relationship,
but I'd of thought the tendrils (the so-calle "heartstings")
would be in near the heart area.
Sometimes the pressure moves up my spine, and sometimes it
turns into a kind of heat. This morning it got bad enough
for me to place a strong body magnet directly underneath the
spot. It felt cool for several seconds, and then started
warming back up again, although not as hot as it had before.
It has since subsided (I did the 5 rites)although I can
still feel a vague pressure lurking there.
Any idea of what I might be experiencing?
Greg
In Reply to: The 5 Rites: Energetic De-Aging & Chakra Tuneup posted by Greg on July 13, 1998 at 17:16:42:
I've owned the "Five Rites" book for years, and have practiced the rites on and off. I find them to be a very useful set of exercises, regardless of what one thinks about the underlying metaphysical theories.
One is supposed to work up to 21 repetitions of each exercise. If you do this, and perform the exercises with full attention to form and points of body tension, they are a pretty fair full-body workout, incorporating elements of yogic stretching, resistance work, breathing, and relaxation. Anyone looking for a fairly *short* but holistic workout should definitely try them. The whole routine, 21 reps of each rite, can be done in 20 minutes without rushing. The muscles of the lower back and abdomen are specifically worked, but arm, shoulder, and leg muscles also get some attention.
The testimonials in the book do make some extravagant claims, which I cannot confirm or deny. I also can't determine whether the five rites are in any sense "better" than a yoga session of comparable duration. Maybe others have more of a basis for comparison and could comment.

Dear Greg,
With symptoms this severe, I would be very tempted to get a conventional medical workup before focussing exclusively on an energitic approach. At least you would have more information with which to make decisions.
Kyra, sent me a note about this and I think you should be communicating directly about it.

Walt,
I thought I'd drop you a not to let you know that I see
a noticable improvement, at this, day 4 of doing these
rites.
My feet would itch terribly from sugar accumulation,
diabetes. Even knowing the cause and the consequences,
I would scratch anyway. Sometimes for minutes at a time.
This of course would shred the dry, flaky skin, and it would
start to bleed. Then a round of Colloidal Silver, and a
little while later, some lotion.
Yesterday, my feet looked strange, like some sort of new
growth was occuring, and my feet looked like they were
shedding, like a snakeskin.
Today they look almost "new." After yesterday's birthday
celebration (Happy Birthday to me!) and some things I
probably should not have eaten, I expected another session
with my feet.
But no. No itching, burning or discomfort. It is altogether
remarkable. I even see a huge improvement in my hands, which
had a tendency to dryness. With this kind of improvement,
it is difficult NOT to look forward to doing the rites each
day, and often I feel like cheating and doing them before
retiring for the evening also.

I suppose it fits.
That would be you, Walt. I have never seen such wisdom.
You always seem to know just the right thing to say.
I feel very much more confortable discussing my "Energetic"
approach to health.
I have to say Walt, that intuition plays a very large part
in how I go about making health (and honestly all) the
decisions about my life. I seem to have an abundance of it,
sometimes verging on the psychic.
That is the "why" on the posts about BioMagnetics, though
by all means I will call your collegue.
Much of what is happening I have no frame of reference for
except through ancedotal testimonials, textbook theories,
and the like.
This site seems like a very comforting environment in which
to share my 'becoming' and to bounce of my strange ideas
around in, for which I thank you.
I am hoping that all this will lead to something better,
something I can share with others, and help them grow to
a better place, but for the moment, I have no idea where
I am actually going to end up.

Hi Greg,
I'm posting here, because I can't access your comment on this computer without it freezing (may be a program problem since it doesn't seem to be a memory-related problem). I checked it out on another computer. Anyway, I've read through Beck material before. I once read something that gave me the idea that diabetes might have to do with a lack of "charge" (was reading up on ions at the time), but haven't been able to find the place I read it. Someone told me that ionic charge and "chi" were the same thing. I don't know if this is true. My husband says that ionic charge and electromagnetic charge are two different things. I've read Chinese food theory material on raising "chi" with foods, but I'm vague on all this stuff. How does one go about raising electromagnetism in the body and what's optimal, etc.? I haven't tried magnets and will have to read throught the magnet BB. Anybody have any info. or comments? Mary J.

Thanks Greg--I printed out the article. I will try to ask the chiropractor who is working with Susie if he uses magnets. Her blood looks to have higher oxygenation with her supplements and diet and her influence is reaching the 8-yr. old, so they're both eating healthier food. My attempts at relaxation with canoeing have been less than successful so far. The canoe has leaks in three places (fore, aft, and center) and I ended up taking a sideways dive in the lake. Standing there with water sheeting off me wasn't going to convince anyone of my boating expertise! My husband said I was too dangerous to be around and I told him he was a gentleman farmer. Mary J.

I dug out my Brainwave Synchronizer the other day, and decided
to do some experimenting. So I jacked my CD player into it
and loaded the theta level CD. Then I set the synchronizer
for ramps into and out of alpha and theta. Man O man.
It is such a rush! So I had to load up some of my favorite
Native American tribal music.
Here is what I noticed: if you are completely relaxed, then
certain notes produce what I've come to call the "Kiryas
Effect" which seems to be some kind of endorphin release
state. It's like this slow pleasure wave peaking and then
crashing thru your body. Wait. That isn't quite right. OK,
it's like the feeling you get when someone scrapes the
chalkboard except instead of setting your teeth on edge,
your whole body is on edge, except it's a Good Edge.
Hmm. That isn't quite right either.
Ok. It FEELS REALLY GOOD. Yeah, that's the ticket.
So I was curious if anyone else has experienced this, and
if as a repeatable phenomena, it might have application
to chakra energizing? Specifically I am wondering if the
endorphin release (if that is in fact what it is) is coinciding
with certain notes being played and certain chakras spinning
in sympathetic vibration.
Don't all answer at once now.
I'm really kind of excited by this. Also, it's great fun,
so I'm off -me and my brain gonna have some fun...
Oh and BTW, if you have NO idea what I'm talking
about -no fear. This is the kind of esoteric stuff to begin
with. I bet Walt & Kyra will have something to say though...

Hi Greg!
You're far beyond me in the brain technology world, as you know, so for the most part all I can do is read, listen, and learn. My own "energetic" experiences have always arisen spontaneously and unexpectedly, which until the advent of high-tech has undoubtedly been the case for the many people whom I believe do indeed have such experiences. I don't know what, if any, relation my own unexpected forays into the "quantum world" have had to alpha/theta balance. They have always arisen from dreamstate as a starting point, and continued into waking state. The common thread in my experiences has been an increased energetic "vibration" mentally which has allowed for expanded states of consciousness. Vibration is indeed accurately descriptive of the physical sensation I've had. Sometimes spontaneous "electrical" discharge has occurrred, primarily out of my throat/5th chakra area and down both arms simultaneously, running out my fingertips. These release experiences have tended to last for fifteeen minutes or more. When it's happened, I've focused on my spiritual practice, said my mantra, and not let myself get caught up in it as anything special. My firm belief is that what I've experienced is the byproduct of spiritual practice, fasinating but ultimately insignificant, and flat-out dangerous to be caught up in as something to try and re-access. When it happens, it happens, which is fine by me. I love it when it does occur, but I don't want to risk obessing over it and thereby losing my primary focus on spiritual path. "Siddhis" these things are called in my spiritual paradigm. I can only speak for my experience. For myself, who's clearly predisposed to have "experiences", I know that I have to keep my feet firmly planted in the earth so as not to get lost in my ego and head.
About chakras. I wouldn't be at all surprised if what you describe could indeed be activating chakras and/or causing them to do their energetic thing at a higher rate. My practical side enters in here. Given that the human body undergoes approximately 503 trillion biochemical reactions per second, every second, not to mention the more esoteric reactions that at this point are impossible to quantify, I'd be concerned that potentially "overamping" via brain technology could be disruptive of these reactions rather than helpful. I also wonder if sending too much juice through an unprepared body could cause kundalini to go awry (ref. Gopi Krishna's and Lee Sanella, MD's excellent books on kundalini) and create dramatic kundalini rising experiences before a body is prepared to deal with them.
I've not experienced the waves of pleasure and "on the good edge" sensations you describe. I have experienced definite altered consciousness states involving awareness of being an egoless part of the greater Whole. I have to say here that this is not something that I've ever discussed publically, and it doesn't come easily to do so.
Again, my general concern for those working in these esoteric realms is starting from a point of incompletely developed ego. This stuff definitely can shake up ego perception, and for someone whose ego hasn't become strong enough to release it, psychosis could be the result.
Thanks for the sharing of your experiences, and for taking the time to read about mine. With you on the learning path.
Namaste' Kyra

This is intriguing. I'd like more specifics, if you don't mind. What kind of brainwave synchronizer are you using? Does it do light, sound, or both? Is your theta CD just pulses or music as well? Did you mean "Kriyas" effect? If not, what is the origin of "Kyrias"? My husband is an audio engineer with mucho gear, and we'd like to experiment with using sound for chakra toning, the relaxation response, etc. Thanks in advance.(email me if you don't want to take up space on the board for this)

Dear Greg & Kyra,
This is an example of some of the possibilities created by the merging of Eastern Mysticism & Western Technology.
We are not even starting to "scratch the surface" of this new paradigm which is a combining ot East & West. I believe that it is a distinctly NEW paradigm arising out of the 2 older ones.
One starts where one starts. All three eventually lead to the top of the mountain of health (spirituality).
Like Kyra, I am interested in hearing where this leads you, Greg.
The Arican system for meditation (South America) demonstrated, years ago, that every meditation, drug, exercise, etc. experience could be trained by teaching people different types of brain wave skills. At that time, there were more than 40 distinct skills available. ALL of them triggered endorphins via brain rhythm combinations.
At about the same time the "mind mirror" was developed (in England) as a way of distinct training (via biofeedback) for specific skills like telepathy, healing at a touch or at a distance, bending metal, telekinesis, distance viewing, etc. See "The Awakened Mind" by Maxwell Cade & Nona Coxhead. These are now all trainable & reproducible!
Then, read "Cosmic Consciousness by Maurice Bucke, MD, to help pull it all together. Exciting times!
THERE ARE MANY PATHS TO THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN!!!!
Many thanks for sharing. Those ready for it will eat up this information. Those not ready will find that the healthier they become the more interested they will become in this "far out stuff".
Namaste` to you both! Walt
In Reply to: Re: Alpha Male posted by Jenny on July 24, 1998 at 08:41:46:
Jenny,
In keeping with Walt's philosopy of sharing what I learn,
I've decided to post my response here.
I'm using a Zygon Brainwave Synchronizer, which is a
light and sound machine although I use it almost
exclusively for sound. When I first started out, I was
using a unit custom which did light, sound and electrical
stim (across the forehead and behind the ears). While it
was a marvelous machine, it was messy to use (keeping the
pads wet with saline solution made the light glasses
slippery, etc.).
Did you mean "Kriyas" effect?
Yes. I am not certain that this is not the same as an induced
endorphin release. The CD is "music" and pulses. Music in
quotes as it is what I call New Age Extreme. It is nothing
that will induce the Kriyas Effect or endorphin release, and
honestly, it is usually "real" music that makes it happen.
For me, usually something evocotive. I have experimented
with a variety of music. Techno will sometimes do it, to
which I attribute to the Beats Per Minute, which in this
case is 140 or higher, and sometimes to the vocals which
tend to hit the right tones.
More recently it has been tribal music, Deep Forest, Yeha
Noha, and Pat Metheny Group seem to have the right combination
of vocals and music to set it off. A friend of mine suggested
opera [Pavaratti's Nessun Dorma by Giacomo Puccini from Turandot]
as good for "unblocking all your chakras at the speed of
light and turning them into blissful mush." I suspect that
she is correct. There is definitely something about the
human voice that syncs with the chakras. I am thinking about
investing in some tuning forks as a way with experimenting
with chakra audio tuning.
If you and your husband are interested, I'd like to swap
soundtrack information. There is an excellent program by
the name of Cool Edit that will "draw" binaural information
which can subsequently be played and/or recorded (good
soundcard helps). Along those lines I've been thinking about
getting a MindGear Xceler8 PRII which can be programmed
from a PC. It comes with 50 built in programs, but of course
I'd want it for custom programming. The Zygon unit, BTW
also has some limited programming capability, but not
enough for some of the deep aspects of chakra and body tuning
that I've gotten interested in.
Looing forward to hearing from you,
Yours In The Light (And Sound!)

Kyra,
Thank you for sharing your experience with me. I know it was
probably something you would have rather kept private. I have
been pondering where my experiments are leading, and I find
that in order to learn, no experience either spiritual, physical,
emotional or mental can be ignored whether as a byproduct of
other practices or as an end in themselves. I firmly believe
that should something be pleasurable and non-damaging to body
integrity, by all means indulge. Our paths are different. For
me I believe that this path, conforming as it does to my
Integration Of Polarities imperative, should be experienced
in this way. I actually have been doing this for some time
and have also kept abreast of the literature. I do not think
my ego, at whatever relative state of development it is at
is going to suffer. I cannot remember having any psychotic
episodes, nor do I think that brainsync can induce it.
I am not even sure that it is a spiritual path that I am on.
While enlightenment is sure to come, I am interested primarily
in learning, becoming a healthy, actualized, and highly psychic
individual. Nearly 20 years ago, I discovered what my path
in life was to be. Sometimes I have fought with it, and other
times I have embraced it. All paths in life are "spiritual"
for each person is learning what their soul needs to
learn to progress further in The Great Wheel.
Yours In The Light,
Greg

Hi, Greg.
Your experience is a great example of "different strokes for different folks". All of the things you have mentioned are effective for a significant % of the seekers. In my expereince, most people can reach this kind of endorphin release with simple training.
However, I would bet that even they could access different levels of consciousness with some of this equipment. have not pointed people in this direction since my goal is to get people simple stress storage relief and not the fancy levels beyond that. The simplest approach is the cheapest and, for those who have trouble with that, equipment is a very valid option.
Some of us are just fascinated with the gadgets and that makes it fun to do what we all need to do. For those I say more power to you. I like it too.
Keep "feeding our heads'.

I admit to having some trouble finding the books you mentioned. I've searched 8 B&N bookstores.
Next stop, Strand & some of the pagan and magick shops. Amazon also has it, but I'd like to buy it
local.
I got a few books on psychic development, and intend to integrate that with Deep Learning, and
"magnetic reorganization" (MR enhances the Deep Learning. As you may know, Alpha/Theta sessions tend to breakdown
and they rebuild the mind structure creating stronger, more complex structures which subjectively creates the
impression that you are smarter and more creative.
MR enhances this on the physiological level. The mind "floats" on a field of electromagnetic energy produced by
the brain.)
By strengthening this field you enhance the "quality of mind" to a considerable degree. It's facinating stuff.
I'm going to the mountaintop, and wouldn't mind sharing
what I'm doing as I get there.
There may be practical applications as well. I'd ultimately
like to perfect things to the point where
I DON'T have to use a machine for all this, but that
is down the ways a piece.
There is actually little information on precisely which frequencies will initiate
which psychic abilities.
I am using a variety of techniques, but I wouldn't mind
a silver bullet of reproducibility.
I've also got a problem of filtering. Often I get psychic
impressions that I don't know are psychic
and only realize that they are after the fact. They "feel" just like regular thoughts and
there is no spooky music to cue me to the fact that this is what they are.
It would be helpful to distinguish the Harbinger from the
Conjecture thoughts...
Anyway that's the thrust of my research, and to have some
fun while doing it.

Hi, Greg.
The Arican publications link the special effects with the different techniques better than any other one place I know. The "Awakened Mind" book does this as well but from a biofeedback pattern and fewer specific patterns.
I have found that, when one has trouble finding books at the commercial stores, that the local library computer search programs work wonders to find copies out of print.

Hi Greg!
I'd like to stay in touch. Our approaches may be different, but I think we can learn much from each other. Question: can you suggest some inexpensive to relatively inexpensive technology for a techno novice like me? I'd be glad to pass on the nitty-gritty specifics (as I'm learning them) of developing psychic ability/medical intuition in return.
In that regard, I've got to say that I believe that the psychic/intuitive abilities I've developed have come because my focus is service-oriented. Compassion for others, in my experience, is a key catalyst for learning this stuff and really the only reason for learning it. I've had to learn to put myself in the other person's shoes and show kindness when I'm doing a read, no matter how put off I might be by the person on a personality level. This is especially true in the case of borderline personality/3rd chakra energy suckers. When you learn this stuff, you'll know exactly what I mean by that last sentence. To my relief, I've found that compassion and the desire to help has gotten me through some potentially rough read situations. Don't want to sound know-it-allish and preachy. Looking forward to continued communication with you.

Hello Kyra,
I've been doing some research on psi abilities. A particularly good
book by Peter A. Sanders, Jr. called You are Psychic!
has given me
a great deal of insight to understanding how my abilities
manifest
themselves, and coincidentally, your mode of psi talent.
From the description of your talents and abilites, plus the
mode in which you use them, I would say that you are a
"Feeling" Psychic. A cursory perusal of the table of
contents in this area seems to describe you most accurately:
* Psychometry: Psychic Feeling Through Your Hands
* The Hands As Feeling Sensors

I have been studying the descriptions most carefully. It would
seem that more than one type of psi talent is active, and
either they are all equally dominant (meaning to me anyway
that they are "on" all the time) or else none of them is
particularly dominant, which I guess means the same thing.
I have been studying my life looking for clues. I have other
evidence both mundane and through numerology that I am using
"psychic intuition" and "psychic hearing" as primary modes,
but there seems to be a moderate amount of "psychic vision"
type of activity also. All of this kind of bothers me, because
it has been going on for so long, I cannot distinguish between
the mechanisms of psychic activity, and everyday mental
functioning.
The section on psychic intuition was so dead on, and explains
so much that I immediately felt a sense of relief.
It will take some study, and more experimenting, but I feel
I have a better grip on where to begin, and what to look for.
As per your request on brain technology, assuming you have
a CD player I have found that any of these CD's are good for
exploratory forays into brainsync technology. The next level
up is a brainwave synchonizer, and the average price is in
the $125 - $250 range depending on the feature set. The best
recommendation that I can make is to save up your cash and
get a programmable Light & Sound machine. Even if you
end up using just the preset programs for the immediate
future, at some point you will begin asking "what if..." and
may want to experiment various states which a non-programmable
device is unable to accomodate. It is extremely frustrating
to be thwarted from a potential breakthrough from lack of
resource or wherewithall.
I cannot really make a recommendation without a "bal

Another piece of the puzzle has been fitted. I had gotten the soundtrack
from "The Fifth Element" for the opera piece by Inva Mulla Tchako.
(The Diva Dance in case you are interested). With an 8 octave range,
she can hit all kinds of notes, but of interest to me were the extremely
high ones. I wasn't sure about this so I listened to a cut
by Pat Metheny on the Secret Story album called "the truth will always be." What these two pieces have in common,
is the notes played; one with voice, the other with horns and
synthesizer. The both trigger "The Wave." In the case of The Diva Dance,
it is more like a quick romp. The Pat Metheny cut is more like...hmmm.
It lasts a long time though. I feel like every nerve of pleasure
has fired. The effect lasts long after the song itslf is over. A friend
had recommended Pavaratti, which barely registered, so now
I know that for me anyway extremely high notes are what
trigger it. When I first got my brainwave synchronizer, I
attached it to my CD player and played the Metheny cut with
the synchronizer acting as a catalyst to make the Kriyas effect more
intense and memorable, however one seems to "potentiate" off
the other. I had drove the pitch up and the entrainment frequency down,
to more closely match each other. That was back in '92-93.
What I've noticed currently is that when the notes are played,
I can actually feel when they hit the energy meridians. The Base chakra
in particular feels "different." Almost like there is a hole
in my body that energy is just pouring through. This is the
exact area where I mentioned in a previous post where there seemed to be
lots of activity of some sort. I wish I knew the significance of
this. When I was aware of psychic activity before, it usually occured
in the solar plexus region. Gut feelings, and psychic impact
from loved ones
would register there. Now my lower back is where things are
registering at. I admit to starting study and meditating using Tattwa cards,
and much of this is concerned with the base chakra, but it
has always been my understanding that the base chakra is
located below your navel, and in any event is actually
pointing down towards the ground. I've activated something
but I'm not sure what. Anyone got any ideas?
Anyway, I will keep you posted as things progress, even if
this work is "just for fun."

Hi, Greg.
The Arican systems started with a system of massage and grew into different brain wave patterns & their specific "powers". MY book is still packed. I would start at the new age bookstore & ask. Then I would go to the library & ask them to do a search.
If you still have "no joy" let me know & I will start opening boxes (needs to be done anyhow).

Hi, Greg.
Brugh Joy, MD has been using what you describe here for at least 20 years to open chakras during his training for healing seminars. I have spent a month with him to learn how to do this and to experience the validity of what you are reporting. POWERFUL STUFF!
If you are not aware of Brugh's work, you would be delighted to know that there are simple ways of doing this that you could reproducibly enhance with the adjuncts you are working with right now. I would start with his original book "Joy's Way".
Let me know what you learn.

Pagan, Magick or New Age,
Nobody's even heard of this stuff. I get blank looks from adept
and novice alike. Obviously somebody is doing this stuff, the books
are there -except nobody (except you) seems to know about them.
I admit to some trepidation in looking for the book, speaking of which do you have a ISBN #? If not I may
end up just ordering it.
It is ever so tantalizing, the books and methods you describe Walt. So exciting. I'd love to organize this into some coherent
and reproducible body of information, and use it.
Awaiting Your Wisdom,
Greg

Hi, Greg.
SIGH!
Well, it needed to be done anyhow. I will put the info on the bb as soon as I get it. Because of family obligations, it will be at least till the middle of August until I can get to a job like that.
Thanks for your enthusiasm & continued interest.
Unfortunately, during this time of rapidly changing paradigm, many "going concerns" come and go. I surely hope that the Arican system is not lost in the shuffle.

Hi Greg and Kyra, and Dr. Stoll, anyone else.
I've been reading your posts about psychic experiences
and although I'm in the company of most people in this
country in being very skeptical of this stuff,
some of the things you've said remind me of things that
I used to experience more at a younger age. Particularly
I think of a sensation I used to get listening to certain
songs, which at the time I enjoyed but didn't think
much of. It was sort of a sense of a wide opening
vertically through the middle of my body, and I'd
actually sort of involuntarily visualize a spiraling
golden light going through that space. I'm sure
that I'd require more information and experience
before attributing that to some larger spiritual cause,
but I was just wondering if that sounds like anything
along the lines of what especially Greg and Kyra have
experienced or read about.

Greetings all,
I took a break from from Chakra Opening/Endorphin Release experiments,
to play with the delta band. This is harder than it sounds because
it is so easy to fall asleep, or "lose time." Even injecting a beta
signal to keep you up is no guarantee that you won't lose it.
It is a very weird experience. I'm sitting there listening to
music, or repeating a mantra, and then the sun has moved or my
watch has incremented itself by 40 minutes in the blink of an eye.
I wonder where I "was" and what I was thinking. Was I asleep?
Was I in an eyes-open trance? What snapped me out? This morning
I had a sort of waking nightmare like I was moving through peanut-butter.
I felt like I was in danger, but it wasn't the panic sort of danger.
It was more like the "I've got things to do, and this is holding
me up" sort of danger. I have a feeling I was dredging up "Delta Layer"
material. I think I'm going to stop playing music in these delta
sessions, as the songs tend to play for the rest of the day in my
head. I wish I could figure out why stuff that I read doesn't
have the same persistence...
I've also noticed that the "lingering vibration" effect is more
pronounced. Long after the entrainment frequency shuts off the
vibration itself seems to still be present. I played some Pat Metheny with
the delta entrainment, because it is so relaxing, but there is a cut
that has those horns & high notes that sets it off for me.
This time is was somewhat different. I found myself "clenched tight"
and found it took some effort to relax. I felt a kind of "shifting"
sensation almost like I was going to have a OOBE. I was able
to relax enough to see if that what was going to happen. It
was almost involuntary. As soon as I thought I was relaxed,
I would find myself clenching again. I think that in delta, the
interface between bodymind & soul is looser, and when induced
in an awake state the same mechanism that lets go of your astral
body during sleep is engaged. The clenching is some sort of
failsafe mechanism to keep that from happening. I guess.
I'd like it to happen, so I guess I'll have to work on some sort of
"override" to let "me" know its ok to do this. I must sound
strange talking like there's two of me here.
Oh, almost forgot. There is a benefit to all of this. The
relaxation is most profound. 30 minutes of this feels like a
full night's sleep.
Well, more experiments to perform.
Yours In The Light
Greg

Greg,
Delta waves (frequencies ranging from 0.1 to 3 Hz) are associated with the deepest levels of physical relaxation.
The slowest of the brainwave frequencies, Delta, is the rhythm of dreamless sleep. As such, it's presence is usually associated with the processes of physical rejuvenation and healing.
At this sleep level all dreaming ceases, the body goes into its slowest metabolic rate of functioning and the lowest levels of pulse, temperature, etc. Awakening a person from Delta sleep is the most difficult. Delta Sleep is the most stress-reduced body state, and is assocoated with the time when the body recuperates and re-balances itself for the next day.

Dear Lindsey,
Thanks for sharing. You are in the "ballpark".
To the extent that you take seriously any "skeptics" in your environment (sigh). They have to have their own experience. THEN, they will be bothered by those who have not and class THEM as "skeptics".
This is something like a man trying to teach a mother about childbirth (another big sigh).
Consider the source!

Dear Greg,
I am impressed that it is so easy for you to get into delta and not be asleep.
I guess I am going to have to try your delta tapes (Please tell me again where to get them.).
Zen masters are the only beings that I knew about who could learn to be in delta & still be aware. It it a highly skilled maneuver that normally takes many years to accomplish.
This is one of the advantages of combining eastern practices with western technology. It no longer takes a lifetime to achieve some of these healthy states.

Bad news Walt.
No tapes. I'm using a brainwave synchronizer to generate the
delta signal. I am quite willing to tape the signal for you.
If you have music or some other audio that you like that
is available on CD, then I will be happy to overlay that on
to the recording as well. You only need ask.

Dear Greg,
I read your post about the experience of certain notes effecting your chakras and causing a good feeling.
I am truly grateful that you shared this for I have similar
questions about it. You explained it beautifully.
I also have these experiences. Sometimes they are so intense
they scare me. I am trying to learn more about them since
they happen every week for me. They happen when I pray and
read spiritual writings too. I have had them for several
years but now that I am practicing meditation it is more
frequent and more intense. Thinking about spiritual love
for others seems to make it more intense and beautiful
When I listen to certain music I have these sensations too.
You asked if there is information about this effect and I
found a website about how musical notes effect chakras.
It is at Steven Halpern's website. He has been meditating
for years and striving to create music that is healing and
helps people meditate. It is highly recommended by biofeedback therapists. He has written a book about the subject too.
Site is www.stevenhalpern.com There are some wonderful
articles there about this subject.
Thanks for sharing this. I am not trying to develop psychic
abilities. I am finding myself becoming more sensitive like
you discribed in the following posts but I don't strive for
it. I truly want healing at this time. ;)
Thanks again for sharing...
Peace and Love,

Hi Greg (or Walt),
You said you would post some observations about magnets--would like to know what you think, etc. I need to check out that magnet BB too. What do you think about sprouts? Anyone got any opinions on minerals like Dr. Bronner's? The chiropractor I took Susie to suggested that she try drinking Evian water--expensive though (for the minerals). Mary J.
In Reply to: Greg, what do you think about magnets? posted by Mary Jackson on July 24, 1998 at 13:59:37:
Hi Mary,
Sorry I didn't get back to you. After experimenting with magnets,
I'd have to say they are wonderful for certain kinds of work. However, you should be aware of some of the 'side-
effects.' For example, living in the an industrial/information
based society as we do, there is a heavy electromagnetic
field contiminating your living sphere. It is at work, more
than likely, and in your home definitely. High power lines,
television signals, radio, home appliances, all contribute
to this pollution. This is harmful, and the consequence is
that your own magnetic field is considerably weakened. With
this weakness comes a corresponding susceptibility to disease
and for genetic weakness whatever it may be to come to the
fore.
To reinforce your magnetic field either buy some small
biomagnets to wear, or drink magnetized water. You may also
want to try magnetic insoles which are available at most
healthfood stores.
Consequences
Water is a universal solvent. Magnets attract. Together,
in the form of magnetized water depending on pole used you
will get a "drawing out" of toxins" or you will get a boost
to the magnetic integrity field of your body.
You must be careful to use the correct pole or else you can
for example, retard the healing process on a wound.
A few links may help you decide if this is for you, and
can supply additional information.
Link 1: Magnetic Energy
Link 2: Magnetic Products
Link 3: The Effects of Magnetic Fields on Vision
Link 4: Are BioMagnets Safe?
Hope this helps.

how do you know what pole to use and what are the consequences of using the wrong one for one's own body?
In Reply to: Greg, what do you think about magnets? posted by Mary Jackson on July 24, 1998 at 13:59:37:
Dear Mary,
Evian spelled backwards is "naive". I wonder what that means?
The bodymind is as much an electromagnetic machine as it is a chemical or structural mechanism. Intracellular molecules communicate with each other by laser light (640 angstroms) and so would be profoundly effected by electromagnetic fields.
Magnets are a powerful mechanism for altering physiology. They are SO powerful that, used incorrectly, they can cause great harm. In MY expereince, so long as the manufacturer's recommendations are followed, most people get positive effects & no negative ones.
Sprouts are about as living as one can get when it comes to food. I highly recommend them.
In my experience trace minerals are best obtained by getting ionic (or crystalline) trace minerals at the healthfood store. OR, just use mineral salt with your food.
