Holosync Meditation
by Diane Linsley
Have you ever tried to meditate when you were emotionally
distressed or when your mind was so busy that it wouldn't be quiet?
This is a major problem for beginning meditators. It can be so
frustrating that they simply give up. Ironically, these are the people
who need it the most.
Meditation Technology
Brain scans done on advanced meditators show that they have a different brainwave profile than most people. The waking mind functions primarily in a beta brainwave state. The faster the beta frequency, the more distressed you feel. As your brainwaves slow during meditation, you feel more relaxed.
You can slow your brainwaves to an alpha pattern simply by closing your eyes, breathing deeply, and doing relaxation techniques. But what if you could go even deeper and change your brainwaves to those of an advanced meditator? What if you could experience deep theta and delta brainwaves? These are the brainwaves that accompany experiences of the Transcendent. In the past, only the most advanced, long-term meditators (after meditating for over 30 years) could do this.
Modern science has discovered a way to induce these slower brainwaves with sound technology. Since 2007, I've been using a program called Holosync, designed by Bill Harris. Before I started the program, I was having problems with depression, social anxiety and panic attacks. It didn't take long for these problems to subside after I began doing Holosync.
Research shows that people with anxiety disorder or PTSD always have brain lateralization, which is an imbalance between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Holosync synchronizes the hemispheres by balancing the brainwaves. It also stimulates the production of neurotransmitters, making it a safer alternative to antidepressant drugs.
Holosync for Healing
During my first few years with Holosync, I had many experiences that helped me to heal from past trauma, including retrieval of lost memories and the development of new parts of myself. All of this happened naturally as my brain created new neural connections in response to the technology.
Trauma lowers your threshold for what you can handle, which results in a decreased ability to tolerate stress. Holosync raises your threshold. I noticed that after doing Holosync for two years, the chronic pain from my arthritis had greatly decreased. Nothing had changed in my physical body - only my brain had changed. My tolerance for emotional stressors like difficult people and situations also increased, and things that used to bother me no longer felt overwhelming.
Binaural Beat Warnings
I've known people who developed serious symptoms after listening to YouTube meditations that included binaural beats. One woman showed up for her coaching session and told me she had been having panic attacks and hallucinations. When I inquired further, she told me she had been treating herself for insomnia by listening to YouTube meditations with binaural beats. You can usually see this in the title of the meditation with the word "frequency" or a number followed by Hz.
The more anxious she felt, the more she did the meditations, thinking they might help. She had gotten in the habit of listening to them for many hours while sleeping at night. I explained to her how dangerous it is to overuse binaural beat technology or to use random frequencies without an organized program like Holosync. As soon as she stopped listening to the YouTube meditations, the hallucinations stopped.
The Holosync program is much safer because it starts with a mild frequency, and you only listen to it for 15-30 minutes a day for the first two weeks. People who are very sensitive may need to go through the program more slowly. I stayed on the first level of the program for a whole year, even though it is designed for 3 months.
If you have any questions or problems, you can call the Holosync support line. They are very helpful.
Combining Holosync with Other Practices
Ken Wilber says that the fastest way to become a skilled meditator is to start with a binaural beat program like Holosync. He calls it "training wheels for your brain." Then you can add traditional meditation, in which you learn how to change your brainwaves by focusing your mind.
Bill Harris says that one year of Holosync is equivalent to 8 years of traditional meditation. I found that after a year of doing Holosync, I was able to meditate more easily with traditional meditation. Before the days of Holosync, I couldn't sit still and meditate for more than 5 minutes.
Ken Wilber and Bill Harris both recommend doing shadow work in addition to meditation. My favorite way to do shadow work is with Voice Dialogue.
I learned from Anthony William that stimulating the growth of new brain cells will only work long-term if, at the same time, you are supporting the brain with a healthy diet and removing heavy metals and other toxins that interfere with brain function.
Heavy metals short-circuit electrical impulses between neurons. Symptoms of heavy metal toxicity include brain fog, memory lapses, anxiety and depression. It is essential to get the metals out. To learn how, read the book Brain Saver. I also enjoy Anthony's heavy metal detox smoothie.
Adding Gamma Compassion
After two years of doing Holosync, I learned that Centerpointe had a CD called Gamma Compassion. It helps the brain create gamma waves, which are a type of brainwave seen in monks who do Metta Bhavana practice, also known as loving kindness meditation.
After adding Gamma Compassion (alternating it with the regular Holosync program every other day), I noticed some interesting changes. I started having lucid dreams, and I became more aware of my emotions and those of others. Awareness is the foundation of compassion.
