One of the biggest impediments to growth, in a human being, is the force of anxiety. Eliminating the pull of anxiety provides a huge leverage towards living life from a place of inspiration, wisdom and creativity.
You can have all the inspirations coming in but there can be no real movement, or action, on your part when you are bogged down by the presence of anxiety. Fear is a dimension of thinking/mind and anxiety is the result of an imbalanced momentum of fear in a being/soul or body, or both.
The soul is simply a label I use to point to the non-physical aspect of who you are, who you have been. The body is a vehicle that is used to navigate the physical realm. The body is well capable of handling itself, as a conditioned machine, using the intelligence centers like the brain and the heart, or just cellular intelligence (as present in organisms without a brain).
In addition, a body does not necessarily require a soul/being’s presence to operate, there are many bodies which function without the presence of a soul focused through them on an ownership basis, be it humans, animals, birds or fungi. The presence of a soul in a body makes it a more “complex intelligence” because there are three “thinking” intelligence functioning at the same time, the brain, the heart and the soul (operating with the intelligence(s) of totality/life, which can be labeled as life-stream, higher consciousness, creator, source, spirit guides, God consciousness, evolved souls etc).
Anxiety can stem from any, and all, of the three focused intelligence operating in a body, namely the brain, the heart and the soul.
Root causes of anxiety
I usually get this question about why do some people have more anxiety, or higher momentum of anxiety, than others – what are the factors contributing to this higher anxiety? In truth, it’s a mixed bag, and there are several factors that can contribute to the presence of a high momentum of anxiety.
Some of the main factors are as follows:
- The momentum gathered over the past lifetimes, as a soul/being.
- The momentum of fear passed on as “cellular memory” through the gene pool from which a body is conceived.
- Influences of upbringing in terms of parental/societal/environmental influence.
- Fear-based/deluded interpretations, and perceptions, made along the way, which continue to fuel the already present momentum of fear energy.
Higher awareness state
High awareness does not automatically mean balance – awareness is just a capacity to “observe”. Low-awareness in a soul simply means that the soul is yet to develop the capacity to observe more acutely or consciously. High-awareness in a soul simply alludes to the capacity to observe more deeply. This capacity develops over time, as a soul matures, as it goes through life-experiences.
High-awareness can also lead to higher anxiety when it’s not backed by aligned understanding. You may be able to observe life more deeply, and acutely, but your interpretations, and perceptions, may be totally deluded or imbalanced, which would lead to more fear.
High-awareness has to be backed by an aligned understanding in order for it to be effective.
For example, there are many people who are highly aware of their negativity/suffering, and yet have no understanding of how to release the momentum. They keep identifying with the negativity or keep trying to suppress it, until they start understanding the logic of the state of allowing, and start employing it, to finally find conscious freedom.
The low-awareness state is akin to the state of ignorance, and one can be fearless out of lack of any real consciousness (self-consciousness or future consciousness or sensitivity consciousness). The low-awareness state always transitions into high-awareness as a part of soul evolution, though it usually starts with high-awareness and low understanding, so in many cases there is more anxiety after this transition because now you are more aware of the “possibilities” of negativity, and presence of dark nature (like death or loss or uncertainty).
The next transition has to be towards high-awareness and high/aligned understanding, which finally prepares the ground for balance, and thus the movement towards inner wholeness.
A lot of meditation practices are geared towards hiking your awareness, which is great for transitioning from low-awareness state to high-awareness state. But after that you need to work on gaining the right understanding, which is what being “enlightened” about life is all about. Enlightenment is nothing but gaining an aligned understanding of life.
High awareness with low understanding (and thus lack of an real inner power) can be a very painful phase for a soul.
The low-awareness state
The low-awareness state is actually free of anxiety because there is very little consciousness about life.
It’s like functioning on a “sleep walking” mode – a person who is sleep-walking can step into a cage of snakes without fear.
Anxiety requires you to be aware of the future in some way, or make projections into the future, and this is only possible in someone who has a decent degree of awareness. In that sense, anxiety does not exist in the low-awareness state, and it’s mostly a moment to moment based living from a place of “reaction”.
A low-awareness entity is purely a reactive entity, and the reactions can come from conditioning and it can also come from a place of inner guidance. It’s just that there is no conscious awareness of the choice of movement.
I have an understanding of this state because for a good 27 years of my life I feel I was in a state of low awareness. It mostly felt like a robotic movement before snapping into a growth of awareness due to circumstantial pressure (being in a mess, in simple words).
Ignorance is bliss, but only for a while, until the accumulation of imbalance hits a threshold. It’s not possible to stay in low-awareness forever. Sooner or later you accumulate enough imbalanced perceptions/delusions to create suffering for yourself, and suffering is always a “wake up call” because it causes you to take notice. It causes you to become aware (of the pain), and thus becomes the catalyst for the growth of awareness.
Of course, as soon as the awareness starts growing most beings would desire to go back to the state of ignorance. We have a memory of how the state of ignorance was free of fear and thus try our best to get back to the unconsciousness, be it through drugs, medications or entertainment (material/physical or spiritual). However, it’s a futile pursuit, once awareness wakes up it can only continue to keep growing.
High-awareness and the onset of anxiety
As you start growing in awareness, you start growing in your capacity to project into the future.
The brain goes through these states of transition too. It starts with low-awareness, and moves into high-awareness. A high-awareness soul focused in a body would cause the brain (of the body) to quickly grow into the high-awareness state.
As I mentioned earlier, high-awareness does not automatically mean “aligned understanding” and thus does not automatically mean “balanced living”. In fact, high-awareness state is the onset of real anxiety. People who have strong anxiety are always the ones who are highly aware of certain thoughts, certain patterns of thinking, certain deluded perceptions, while lacking the “understanding” to be free of their hold.
As your awareness starts growing you become more sensitive to the presence of fear, and due to your lack of understanding, your normal reaction would be to suppress the fear or become over-identified with the fear, causing the build up of fear-energy, in terms of momentum. This can go on for several life-times, as the awareness continues to grow steadily but without the backing of any aligned understanding on how to deal with the light and dark nature aspect in us.
Also, the presence of ambiguous understandings, or imbalanced understandings, can lead to further suppression – for example, when one hears teachings that are imbalanced towards light nature, they start trying to suppress the presence of dark nature in them even more, in an attempt to become more light-natured.
All the suppression, and over-identification, eventually cause the fear-energy to gain a lot of momentum in the soul and the brain – the soul continues to become imbalanced in spite of growing in awareness and as the body continues to replicate/reproduce the fear-energy accumulation is passed on in terms of cellular memory onto the offspring bodies. In that sense, the fear-momentum gathers at the non-physical level, in a soul, and at a physical level, in a brain and cellular memory.
So, currently you may be a high-awareness soul with an imbalance of fear-energy, focused on a body that has a high momentum of fear, which basically causes a “loop” to get generated towards further creation of momentum.
In order to break this loop you would have to consciously let go of your acquired momentum as a soul (through understanding the art of “letting go” of suppression and over-identification), and also work towards letting go of the momentum present in the brain/body.
What really delays this “release” is the presence of the loop between the soul and the brain, where the soul seems to fuel the brain’s fear, and the brain seems to fuel the soul’s fear, and each is a resistance towards the other being free. You can notice how frustrating it is to gain the right understanding (as a being) only to find that your brain is yet to sync up with it, and hence is not able internalize it.
The brain, being a neural network, cannot disintegrate the past patterns overnight and hence keeps repeating these past patterns, with its accumulated momentum, even if you’ve grown in your understanding as a being. In that sense, you as a being are faster than your brain in terms of “understanding and internalizing”. So it can be concluded that it’s the brain that eventually slows down the process of release through its inability to internalize an understanding quickly due its physical limitation of taking time to dissolve the old neural pathways.
You can read the post The brain, the heart and law of attraction for more insight on this physical loop of negativity. The problem is that even if you (as a being) have a clear understanding, it’s easy to get pulled into the brain’s strong momentum and thus re-fuel the fear-energy (or the force of anxiety), thus delaying the process of release.
Removing anxiety at the brain level using brain entrainment technologies
It’s a journey of patience, once you’ve gained an understanding about “letting go” (or the state of allowing), to gradually keep releasing the hold of fear-energy by no longer suppressing or over-identifying with it – at the brain level and the emotional level of the body, along with the accumulation in your being.
The time it takes for the release depends on the load/accumulation that’s already present, and it also depends on your ability to allow the release, or your “openness”. It’s quite a challenge to deal with the brain momentum, the emotional momentum and the presence of fear-energy in you as a being, all at the same time, especially because of the tendency of one to re-fuel the other.
For me the journey began two years back, from now, in terms of connecting with the state of allowing the release, and it took around 8-9 months to start seeing some space of stability coming in (of course, I was also learning/understanding the dynamics of the state of allowing along the way), and it took a few more months to sense the momentum of the brain (and emotional momentum) to start receding to the point where the intensity of fear-energy was no longer a problem, or a cause of strong resistance. What I had in my favor was a real commitment towards going through the release, irrespective of how long it took or what doubts arose in the midst.
Recently (about two months back) I came across this product called Brain Evolution System, which is basically designed along the science of brainwave entrainment, which proposed to work on eliminating the momentum of anxiety from the brain by re-training it towards the state of balance – they’ve introduced an innovative combination of three technologies of brainwave simulation, what they call 3P-DEAP (3 point dynamic entrainment audio process), as a culmination of bringing forth all the current research in this field.
The re-training is done purely by simulating the “balanced” brainwave frequencies (as an mp3 track), which, when listened to, re-trains the brain out of the “anxiety state” brainwave frequencies, while also stimulating areas of creative thinking – the underlying principle is not to simply provide temporary relaxation, rather it’s to re-train the brain permanently out of the anxiety state brainwaves. I am aware of the presence of many other brainwave simulating technologies like bi-naural beats (that simulate brain-states of alpha, beta and thetha frequencies) which are mostly employed for temporary relaxation, but I did not find any real benefit coming from them in terms of any lasting effect.
I have an interest in trying out products that can boost brain productivity without the use of chemicals or suppression-based technology, and so I tested out their free demo mp3 track. In spite of having a low momentum of anxiety/fear, in my brain, I could sense an even deeper level of reduction in the momentum while also sensing an increase in the clarity of thinking (my brain seemed to think more lucidly with better focus).
I felt highly impressed with its effectiveness in working with the brain, and I continued to listen to the demo mp3 (which is 15 mins long) a couple of times a day for a week, and the results were very positive in terms of a much deeper reduction in anxiety-based momentum in the brain (which seemed to last rather than be a fleeting momentary experience) with a definite sense of increase in the sharpness/clarity of “thinking”. In fact, it was not just working on the anxiety momentum but on the general momentum of the brain per se, where I felt my brain getting trained towards a deeper level of calm.
Since the demo was so impressive, I bought the product which is basically a set of 6 mp3 tracks (each 30 mins long), what they call level-1 to level-6 training. The process is about listening to one mp3 track per month, starting with level-1, and moving towards level-6, as the brain gets trained to adapt to deeper states of calm and stability. The two things which make this product aligned with the state of allowing is that there is no suppression of “awareness” in any form, in fact one can observe the brain’s awareness increasing (what they rightly call the increase in the capacity for detached awareness in the brain), and it instigates the emotional release to happen faster (due to lack of brain resistance) because it does not try to create any “forced” high emotional states – you will sense emotional release happening, while listening to the mp3, without any resistance from the brain towards it (because the anxiety based brainwaves are trained towards the balanced-state brainwaves).
The deal here is that the brain is not being “suppressed”, it’s being re-trained in a very aware manner. In conjunction with the state of allowing, this technology can reduce the time for the emotional release, as well as for the reduction in brain momentum, by a huge margin – what took me around 8-9 months would have taken 2-3 months if I was working with this technology, simply because it removes the “loop” by working on the brain allowing you (as the being) to take care of the release.
If you are interested you can try out the demo at their website – brainev.com – where you would be required to enter your email address to which they would forward the link for the free 15 min demo mp3 (level-1 track). Or, you go in for the one month free-trial option, where you can get the level-1 mp3 (the full 30 mins) for free, even if you choose to cancel the trail before the month ends. They also have the refund option where you can refund your money anytime within 7 months if you are not satisfied with the product, while getting to keep all the mp3s. So there is no risk involved for you.
I personally think that you are bound to find this product very helpful and effective, especially in conjunction with the state of allowing. All that’s needed is to sit in a state of total allowing, and listen to the mp3 for 30 mins a day. I’ve tested this product for the past two months (listened to 2 mp3 tracks) and can personally vouch its effectiveness in a deeper release of momentum in the brain to a point of zero-anxiety, deeper/quicker release of any presence of emotional momentum, increased awareness in the brain, clarity of thought and increased creativity. I had suggested this product to a few people, who I met through the blog, who are in touch with me through chat, who had issues with anxiety, and they found impressive results within a span of a few days.
The state of high-awareness and zero-anxiety
The state of inner wholeness is simply the combination of high-awareness and absence of the momentum of negativity (including anxiety). This is the state where you find a natural return of focus towards your expression in physicality, with a renewed zest for living, experiencing and exploring.
This state is most conducive to your inherent nature of desiring growth, as there is no resistance within towards constant growth. If you look at the momentum of negativity as a car moving at 200 miles/hour, the state of conscious allowing is like removing your foot from the accelerator which by itself will slowly reduce the momentum of the car until it comes to a halt, a product like the Brain Evolution System (or Brainev for short) is like a strong gust of wind against the car that serves to slow down the car even faster thus reducing the time taken for you to reach the state of inner wholeness, or freedom from the force of anxiety.
If you’ve been able to release most of your momentum, through the state of allowing, this product is still useful in terms of improving your ability for creative thinking or just the capacity for clear thinking (especially if you sense that your brain still feels foggy or befuddled) in quicker time.
Also, this product does not create a “crutch” as one can let go of using it after the training period and the effects of the training stay permanent in a person who is conscious/aware (since they would no longer re-fuel negativity in their state of awareness).
In that sense I see this as a very useful assistance in conjunction with the state of allowing, backed up with gaining an aligned understanding of life. Remember that this product only works on reducing the brain momentum (and thus assists in faster release of emotional momentum), but it does not automatically give you the “aligned understanding” required to live a balanced life, gaining an aligned understanding is still your responsibility. Of course, having a reduced brain momentum is highly conducive to imbibing/internalizing understandings more easily.
(Note added on 29th Jan 2013: I’ve received a few queries on the pricing of Brainev. The way it worked for me was that after I signed up for the Brainev Demo I received mails from the Brainev team, one per day, with regards to the technology and benefits of the product, and on the 7th day I got a mail mentioning that I could get the full version for a discounted price of $100 by using the code that they provided in the mail (the actual price of the full version is $297). I was impressed with the demo version, and I had done research on the technology/logic of the product, and found $100 to be nominal for the full version of 6 mp3s (level-1 to level-6), so I purchased the product for $100 using the discount code.
If you feel like purchasing this product I would suggest that you wait for a few days after signing-up for the demo so that you can get the option of the discount price. I’ve recently finished the level-3 mp3 and I find this product to be very impressive in how it works with the brain towards releasing deeper layers of negative momentum, I’ve also received several feedbacks from the readers of this blog with regards to how they are finding this product to be a real asset in their journey towards balance. It’s definitely a product I recommend in conjunction with the state of allowing)
I almost feel this article was written for me, after all we talked about. I’d really felt confused about my experiences. I felt I had grown in awareness over a lifetime, and yet my ability to perceive flaws only gave my mind more weapons to use against me. I felt it was a hopeless pursuit, and wished I’d stopped looking deeper into myself. This is a beautifully written article, thank you Sen. I will try the demo of the BrainEV mp3, though my inner skeptic ridicules me for even downloading it…
My question is; do you ever feel physical sensations accompanying the release of suppressed dark nature emotional energy? I often feel a strong unpleasant tension, like a plugged water pipe, at the back of my head when I’m holding in negativity or doing the exercise we discussed on Skype. And release feels like a downwards flow starting at my forehead, going back down into my body. I don’t know what this means. Are they the same sensations for everyone?
Earl, energy flowing up the back and down the front of the body is a pattern recognized from ancient times in Chinese medicine and Tao arts. You may simply be aware of something that is always there. Many breathing practices use this in different ways. Any blocks you feel may be exactly that – places in your body where the natural flow is blocked.
Sen,
upon reading this post, i feel more frustrated upon (honestly) knowing i can’t afford to buy those cd’s.
It triggers my inner conflict: the feeling of having it – while knowing the truth that i cannot have it -its an inner turmoil.
As of now, i choose to return to focus because i don’t have any rational reason – why i do keep meditating while the pull and call of initiative to move is undeniable.
Normaly return of focus happend after you hit the point of transation end.
For me… I didn’t reach the end of transation yet. But i have no other choice because i have nothing else to do…
I stop meditating, i am returning to focus with my own choice i play games, posting on facebook, i think and think and think.
Although my emotional releases are gone into the mid air
I feel more sensitive to any situation that trigers my negativities that arises (conversation, arguments) it is because
i am more aware of them, dis-identified with them and seeing thru their dellusions and totaly allowing them (full openess/embrace).
I admit this is a very sluggish process that don’t deserve for waiting and hope.
That’s why i totally drop the urge of being lethargic to a 100% (as what i did before) highly active being.
I still sense the force of my past (deluded/imbalance) choices and i allow them to run on me.
I am what i was before: i laugh, i cry, i fear,worry, excited of playing half life 2, maxpayne, i feel disappoint & irritated, happy when my ego succeded. But i am aware & allowing all of them so clearly because i feel free.
This is my blue-print of experience as a soul even of not having the opportunity to have that cd. (i am aware that i am dramatic now).
The whole terrifyng experience
from the “very start” of this journey to the feeling of being stuck right now is very worthwhile experience for me.
You sen as the soul has a purpose for me. the people that i hate, avoid, love are playing their rule on me.
I am still allowing of the idea that i can stil be okay even this process will finish to the next lifetime of my journey.
My mind is so very disappointed but i let it be…
Regards
Ian.
Ian, the demo is free, and it’s 15 mins of the level-1 mp3 which is good enough – you can put it on a loop and listen to it for 30 mins. In fact, if you go for the “one month trial” option, you get to download, and keep, the level-1 mp3 (30 mins) for free even if you cancel your trial before the end of 30 days. The level-1 mp3 is highly effective on its own, you don’t need to purchase the whole 6 mp3s. It can be useful during the return of focus phase, because it helps your brain develop clearer thinking (as it reduces the anxiety brainwaves) – you can see your thinking becoming clearer and sharper as you listen to the mp3. It’s possible that you’ve had a emotional release but your brain is still fuddled in its thinking and hence is not able to work on the return of focus – listening to this mp3 can accelerate the process of engaging your brain.
Just tried the BrainEV demo, & I must say that I do feel quite relaxed. The obsessive thought that was worrying me before is not so pulsating, as I realise that I had been giving it alot of attention beforehand.
It is a kind of forced meditation (In a natural way), where you are focused on just the one thing. This is the way of the beingness.
My experience before this has been basically just been allowing all the time, even all throughout the day(s) even though I was lost in thought as I thought I was practising allowing. Would this mean to bring a balance between meditation and allowing Sen, how did it work for you?
Dave, the impediment to the release of emotional accumulation is the resistance coming from the brain momentum, also, as you mentioned one can get pulled into the thoughts and become lost in it (which is mostly because of the momentum) which can cause an unconscious refueling of the momentum. This is the reason why there is a delay in the release, as one has to contend with the brain momentum along with the emotional release. Brainev mp3 takes care of the brain momentum part, allowing you to take care of the emotional release part. Usually the deal with some technique based meditations is that one tries to suppress the brain, or silence the brain, through forced focus, and this suppression (which can come from a place of fear) actually keeps refueling the momentum of resistance in the brain (it’s like fighting against the brain). The reason why I find brainev mp3 to be aligned with the state of allowing is because there is no suppression induced on the brain, the brain is allowed full freedom to express itself while being retrained towards the balanced frequency under the steady influence of the simulated brainwave – so in that sense it’s like a relaxed meditation without force/suppression along with emotional release.
Hi Sen,
It doesn’t resonate with me that the soul can feel fear. Let me share my perspective.
To me, the soul is fearless because its pure love. The mind and body are parts of the soul that have voluntarily decided to forget that they are love – hence in order to produce contrast and to have this experience physical experience it appears (illusion) that the mind/body is separate from love because they can feel fear.
In truth fear is just a lower (lowest maybe) form of love. And the soul is the highest form of love. Both are needed for physical experience.
Terry, what you are referring to as “love” is what I call wholeness to differentiate it from the “emotional” love of attachment which is duality based. What you are referring to as “soul” is what I call the life-stream or totality of life, which is always rooted in wholeness. I guess, what I am referring to as “soul” can just be seen as the non-physical aspect of your physical body, or rather the “energy body” or “spiritual body” as it’s sometimes referred to. So it’s just different words, and it doesn’t matter, the bottom-line is to get to a conscious state/experience of wholeness through/in the realm of physicality.
Great blog!
This one really hit close to home. I have high awareness with understanding. (know all my patterns of thinking/behavior.). But I do have trouble letting go of the anxiety. It seems almost a constant energy. And I have training in energies.
I am involved in a teaching at present which leans towards the dark–the convolutions of the thinking mind. My history has been towards the light teachings.
When I truly let go, whatever I release is let go of. When i truly give it up, it never fails me. I might be looking straight ahead, and an answer comes from some angle I had not remotely considered. Yet, letting go of anxiety is a real challenge. Being an empath, I have difficulty separating from theirs, and this adds to mine. I am going to use the brain ev program. After using the binaural beats I tend not to use this technology any more. However, I will give it a go. Thanks.
I downloaded that Mp3. It does seem to work. I was very relaxed and having a lot of visions and I have an overload of mind momentum. Can you listen to it more than once in a day without ill effects?
Alliswell, I would say that 30 mins a day is optimal, but you can also listen to it if you sense any strong anxiety coming up in your brain at any part of the day, so that it can work with the momentum of arising anxiety.
I have been reading for a while and my understanding is deepening but I get lost around a specific problem I have: I have no inspiration to ‘do’ anything! I enjoy life and love life but my life is very simple. I take simple pleasures: walking my dog, cooking great vegetarian food, watching great movies, and I feel that my life is abundant.
I am trying to get in tune with who I am as I have been lost in a destructive relationship for the past 20 years, i have now left this relationship and am growing in awareness but am struggling with moving towards my natural inclination and individuality as when I try to think “If I had all the money I wanted, what would my mind like to do? Or In other words, if money was not the motivation for doing a job, if interest/passion was the only motivation, what type of job/work/creativity would I like to pursue?” I cannot fathom anything other than what I do now. I want more money and freedom but to just do what I do now. Is this okay, or normal – will inspiration strike when I’m more in synch?
Jo, if you sense that you are free of the grip of mental/emotional momentum (like the grip of anxiety or inferiority or desperation), it just becomes about living consciously and exploring what feels like your growth avenue. “Boredom” is a natural dimension of thinking, and it’s also one of the reasons why “growth” is inherent to our nature – when you are bored, you can connect with that sense and look at what desires come up as a part of what you would like to express/experience, the basic fields that are available are health, wealth and relationship, by wealth I don’t just mean financial wealth but also your desire for service/contribution/productivity (which are inherently wealth generators), by health I mean all the activities that are aligned with healthy/enjoyable living, like diet, entertainment/relaxation, exercise (you seem to have that down pretty well), by relationship I mean your desire for interaction and connection with other beings (there are many levels of interaction and many degrees of connection). So basically, these three are basic fields that you have available for your experience/expression, and you would need to bring a balance to all these three fields in order to feel fulfilled in terms of your external reality – your inner balance will act as the foundation towards giving your the required guidance/mindset/inspiration towards finding resonance with what feels “right” for you with respect to these fields. If you are unclear about something, just make yourself open to receiving guidance in a state of a real willingness to find clarity on a subject.
Also, you would need to understand that reality always has aspects of light and dark nature in combination – your interest can give you a direction towards what you want to work on, but it might still require some organization, discipline (though not a forced one, rather just a necessary amount), patience (every reality takes time to pan out into mastery, everything starts at beginner level), focus (you can’t have everything at once, so you would have to prioritize what’s important to you which sometimes entails letting go of somethings which are of less priority). Physical living has its dynamics, with its light and dark nature aspects. Inspirations do come in, it’s just that sometimes we are not willing to allow the necessary requirements to live out those inspirations in physical reality – in any case, growth in your inherent nature, and in a state of inner wholeness this nature is never inhibited, if you are uncertain right now, just stay open to allowing clarity to come in towards your expression/experience.
Sen,
i already have the demo, it realy works sen, my mind is a little bit calmer sharper in focus and thinking. My awareness is increasing more and more… How long do i have to use it sen?
But one thing i have notice i am so very aware of my shyness and it makes me more self concious. But girls do flirt on me sen – That sometimes i choose to avoid flirting girls because i am afraid they might found out i am ugly in close up looks… Of course sen i know it was just a deluded thoughts from my past conditioning but i let it run it course and momentum.
But
It feels very unpleasant on my part this awareness sen.
Is it ok to work on my inner freedom base on my comfort zone or do i have to step out my comfor zone or
doing both of them as an expression of my inner freedom?
Dear Sen, I am on day 3 listening to the demo and am experiencing a dramatic and much-needed breakthrough in my transition. I am seriously considering investing in the program. Thank you very much for sharing this innovative tool.
Hi, thanks for the great article – it refers to my situation as well and explains some things I haven’t thought of yet. However I have some remarks and questions.
I’ve become aware of different ways of how ego-mind in me works and although I (seemingly) understand it’s senselessness, I still haven’t managed to get out of state of anxiety and sometimes obsessive, frightening thoughts which I still somehow partly believe in.
Have to say, that one part in your article also frightened me – the sentence about ability of such negative thoughts to manifest in reality. It somehow goes against the mindset needed for allowing – to realize that thoughts are just thoughts, that they can’t do harm and thus we can stop worry about them. So, please, be very aware when writing about these law-of-attraction things to the people with already worried mindset. 🙂
Btw, I have observed that short, spontaneous thoughts (accompanied with short, alive imaginations) has the power to manifest in reality but not the long-term thoughts of worries (or hopes). It seems to me that worrying thoughts has no power to manifest in reality because one need to be in touch with his deeper self to do that – but one can’t be in that touch when he is worrying! So, it seems to me, that we are protected this way… Otherwise people would create an incredible mess on the planet with their thoughts and worries.
Another thing I wanted to point out and ask – what exactly is the “balanced understanding” that you’re talking about? Is it just intellectual understanding that there is no need to neither suppress thoughts and emotions nor cling to them, etc? Well, I have this intellectual understanding (and partly also thanks to this great blog), but even with it, I still catch myself both suppressing and also clinging to my repetitive thoughts and emotions… So, how it comes that I understand but still don’t become really free? Is it some deeper, more intuitive understanding you’re speaking about? But how to “achieve” it? Time itself apparently doesn’t work because first time when I came in touch with these great deep insights (both intellectual and there have been even spiritual moments) was already back in 2007 when I red Tolle’s “Power of Now”. Now it’s 5 years but I still live it mostly only theoretically and intelectually (with rare exceptional moments of more “enlightened state” which usually asks hard suffering to get there).
Another question – you speak about “awareness” and explain that it’s not enough with it. From my experience, I agree that awareness of thoughts and emotions is really not enough and usually just create more fear, just as you wrote. But how about deeper awareness – awareness of the awareness itself? That is what all modern teachers guides us, and, again, from my experience, those moments when I’ve reached this deeper awareness, I have started to really detach from my thinking process and emotions – I’ve started to look to them as just some stream which has no power over real me. The only problem that it’s hard to get to that state and it’s gone soon. But my question is – should we try to get after this deeper awareness – like the one Mooji tries to bring in this meditation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4zArI0uqWY – or it could be in some way dangerous when we’re still fighting with our obsessive thoughts, fears and other emotions? How do you see this?
Ikars, law of attraction is the basis of creation and it’s just like stating fact when it’s mentioned that a strong attachment to negativity causes the attraction of a negative experience – of course it’s something that can make one worry, or it’s something that can make one become more aware of why they are experience a negative reality for themselves, it depends on how you take it. A “negative” experience is basically a “growth” call (it’s simply reflecting a certain imbalance), nothing more, and if you simply see it as an indicator for growth (which is what it is) you would have an aligned perspective about it.
The only way I can define a “balanced understanding” is an understanding that incorporates the light and dark nature elements in unity, where one is no simply trying to cling to some light-natured version. For example, one can simply talk about law of attraction in a manner of saying “just keep visualizing what you want and you will manifest it”, but this can easily become an “imbalanced understanding” because a person who is rooted in imbalance can use this understanding to focus on realities that are not really aligned with well-being/wholeness in totality – for example, what if a needy guy tries to force visualize getting back with his ex-girlfriend using all kinds of visualization techniques to make it happen? This guy has an understanding of law of attraction but it’s an imbalanced understanding which simply accentuates his imbalance. What’s required is for him to realize the inner imbalances first, and understand that bringing oneself to a place of inner balance is the foundation to attract a balanced reality. Another example of balanced understanding to be aware of the truth that life has a light and dark nature (yin/yang, masculine and feminine) and one has integrate the light and dark nature in oneself to find true balance – teachings that seem to give a “light natured” perspective alone, can easily cause an imbalanced thinking, which is what I would call imbalanced understanding, for example the teaching of “practice compassion and be all loving” can become an imbalanced way of thinking where a person stops being authentic and “tried” to be all loving (or selfless) thus becoming sappy.
The term “deeper awareness” is what I refer to as the “state of total allowing”, and it takes time for one to keep deepening in the state of allowing. With time you will sense a real grounding in your “openness” or state of total allowing.
Hi all, I have been using brainev almost a month. It is amazing how changes happens in this short period of time.
I have been living with anxiety almost 10 years. I t could be genetics or environment, what ever cause is not a big deal anymore. Serching the root cause create another cause then again you are in a circle looking endless solution. Anyway i have been chating with Sen longtime. He has been very helpful with his advise and he realy helped me to understand about life. Anyway, Sen also recomended me this Brainev . I tried and it worked. It does not have to erase all anxiety but most beautiful part you are feeling relaxed every single moment even if anxiety or worries what ever arise, It just do not effect your being. I think this new generation tecnology helps. Thanks Sen you have been great with me since beginning, and your patience was amazing. I have great respect to you.
Thanks for the answer, Sen!
“a person stops being authentic and “tried” to be”
Yes, but isn’t basically there much deeper reason for this kind of behavior than just interest about some “light natured” teaching? I mean, people who desperately try to be good (and thus please others) are the ones who hasn’t get enough unconditional love as a children. They are used to think that they have to match up criterias to be worth of love. And a teaching can just change the criterias – for example, if one in the past desperately tried to be “succesful” – become rich, famous, etc, then, after reading some spiritual book, he starts desperately trying to be compassionate, calm, to be always in the now, etc. But it still serves the ego because the main motivation drive is still “to be good to get love”.
How one can weed out this strong drive which comes from childhood? Is it enough with observing and allowing it? Or maybe it’s worth to find some help of hypnotherapy because I’ve heard about the people who have become from love-needy ones to completely self-sufficient with the help of hypnosis.
Ikars, awareness and understanding is very important towards living from a state of balance. Along with letting go of the momentum of emotional accumulation, and brain momentum, one also needs to gain an aligned understanding of life in order to let go of deluded thinking and thus be grounded in reality. For example, I’ve recommended a product like brainev, which uses brainwave entrainment technology, as I feel that it can assist in reducing brain momentum and thus be helpful in the process of releasing the emotional accumulation – the reason why I feel that it’s aligned with the state of allowing is that it does not “reduce” your awareness, rather you feel more conscious/aware of your subconscious patterns and are able to release it faster. I’ve no real idea about hypnotherapy, but you would have to be judge of whether you feel it’s aligned with deepening your awareness or reducing it – one can feel positive even in a state of reduced awareness, but it lacks the power of an aware balance.
Hello Sen,
I downloaded the 15 minute MP3 demo yesterday and have listened to it for 30 minutes at a go. What I seemed to notice was that there were a lot of thoughts barraging through my mind as I tried to listen to it. You mention that the MP3 is conducive to the state of allowing. Is there any particular way of listening to the mp3 as such…because at times I felt that the thoughts were so acute that it was actually hard for me to pay attention to the music. Please correct me if I am wrong, because I believe that if I forcefully suppress the thoughts and try to pay attention to the music then it would be defeating the purpose of allowing. So, just let the thoughts be…let the resistance to the thoughts (that wells up)be…and let the music be…no need to pay focused attention to anything…let it all take care of itself. Do you agree; if not, can you please shed some light…many thanks for your help…
shi, yeah, just stay in state of allowing while you listen to the mp3, don’t “try” to pay attention to the music. The mp3 creates a high awareness state in your brain while also simulating the brainwave of calm, which assists in seeing through suppressed patterns – so it’s natural to become aware of thoughts (or mind momentum/barrage) while the mp3 is on. The momentum/barrage would keep ebbing away in intensity over time. You don’t have to try and sort out the thoughts when they arise, rather just be in a state of allowing.
Shi, basically, you just sit and do nothing. Just listen the mp3 with out anything to do. I mean when thoughts arise , you just let it be. It is like when you are infront of ocean and listen to wave and relax. Don t try to focus on music either. You just sit and think about you are going to have some peace with yourself listening mp3.
cheers.
Dear sen,
I am extremely disturbed with the way the gang rape case has progressed and am really sad that the poor girl had to die.
How can such beasts exist in the form of humans?why did that poor girl deserve this?was it in her destiny?did she attract it to herself?
I fail to understand how life can be so merciless and unfair.this incident has really shaken me.i am 9 months pregnant and know i am supposed to think positive things but i am really disturbed. You are the only person i could turn to for help.
Soul, these incidents are symptoms/manifestations of the imbalance that’s present in a portion of humanity – the exploiters had a mindset of being imbalanced towards dark nature which is the reason why they did not have access to the “sensitivity”, or wisdom, of understanding the pain or suffering that they were causing to another human. These incidents do act as a wake-up call for the society (or collective humanity) to start becoming more aware and also bring forth regulations/systems that can allow a more balanced society especially while dealing with unconscious people. It’s just that a lot of such “inhuman” incidents do happen around the world, but they are not brought to the public light in most cases and hence we live in a state of denial about it – so in that sense, this incident gaining public visibility, allows for the public to become more aware of the reality of imbalance that’s still present in a portion of humans. An act of imbalance is always bound to cause suffering, and the perpetrators also, eventually, face the suffering created by their action (since every cause attracts an equal effect back) and have the opportunity to grow in awareness. As long as imbalance exists, in human minds, there are bound to be acts of imbalance around – but I would say that humanity as a whole is definitely moving towards a wholeness-based consciousness, just compare how just a few decades back we had world wars going on where millions were killed without any sensitivity and in today’s world the consciousness is high enough to ensure that there are no more wars on large scale. So humanity is definitely moving towards a more balanced/evolved consciousness.
It’s normal to feel deeply shocked by such atrocious/inhuman acts, but one has to see it as a symptom of imbalance present in a portion of humanity and instead of succumbing to a state of fear and helplessness, one has to find a deeper connection with one’s sense of balance by letting go of clinging to the momentum of fear/depression created by the mind in response to such incidents. Every human being who resonates with the vibration of inner balance adds to the balance to humanity as a whole (or the vibration of balance on Earth as a whole), and that’s the best contribution/service you can make towards the collective well-being.
Hi Sen
I am interested in this brain programme and just wanted to ask you about the mechanics of this, ie do we continue our ‘conscious allowing’ of 30 mins or so per day in addition to this mp3 track OR does listening to the track each day for say 30 mins ‘count’ as our allowing practice? Just want your advice on what is the optimum approach here as I am only 3 months or so into my allowing and probably have a lot more releasing\allowing to do over the coming months, maybe another 6 months or so. thanks for your help, much appreciated.
Mac, listening to the track for 30 mins, in a state of total allowing, is enough per day – you don’t have to devote an additional 30 mins for sitting in a state of allowing. Of course, if you have the time you can spend 15 mins, or so, just sitting in a state of allowing after you are done listening to the track. Basically, I find that the mp3 is an effective aid to the state of allowing in the way it works on reducing the brain momentum.
Mr. Sen,
I have been reading your articles for the past 2 months. They make sense and I have tried to pratice relaxed awareness. However, since the success does not come so fast, I have been frustrated.
I have been suffering from anxiety and depression for the past 2 years. This started happening after I shifted to a bigger home. As Chia said, for the past 2 years I am also searching for the reason of anxietyso that I can fix it. However, I shift from one reason to other – vibrations from location of the new house, some critical disease, job pressure, hereditary mental depression, and so on. I do not have any disease except that I developed blood pressure and my vitamin D level has been really low. I have been working on my Vitamin D for the past 2 months. I am getting better sleep but I still wake up multiple times and worry about life, finances, and family. During these 2 years I have lost so much – from A performer to bad performer at job, lost love of my kids, lost love of my wife, made bad financial decisions. I fear of future for me and my wife, I fear future of my kid (as she is doing poorly at school)…
Earlier I was one of the most confidant, cheerful person with center of attraction from my family and friends. Everything was going right for me. I worked hard and always got results and reward.
Now I am just lying around. I do not feel nice meeting anyone as I feel that everyone is doing better than me. I am not doing well at job as I do not put in hard work. I do not have fun with my kid as I do not feel like taking her to play ground, to shopping, etc.
I tried relaxed awareness but I am not consistent with it as it does not give immediate results.
I downloaded Brainev MP3 yesterday and listed to it for 45 minutes before going to bed. It definitely made my mind calm and I slept whole night without disturbance.
My question is how do I use this music to practice relaxed awareness. Do I listen to it 3-4 times in a day 30 minutes every time. Do I try to watch my thoughts in a relaxed manner while the music is on.
I will sincerely appreciate your reply.
Regards, Prakash
One more question:
Though the Brainev helps in calming your mind but I have observed that the quantity of sleep reduces. Overall, on efeels better but it is harder to sleep and stay deep asleep.
A number of users of Brainev on their website say that they are able to achieve much more with lesser amount of sleep….Is it that everyone has reduction of sleep using Brainev.
Or, the solution is that one uses Brainev for calming down the mind and uses the Sleep Salon for getting deeper and longer sleep.
Best Regards,
Prakash

Prakash, it varies from person to person, basically when there is a reduction in brain momentum one has less mental exhaustion and hence lesser need for sleep – your body has more energy as it’s not wasted in deal with brain momentum. The question is are you feeling “un-rested” or are you just worried that you are sleeping less now – there is no problem with sleeping less as long as you feel alert during your waking hours, it just means you have more energy to sustain your waking state. If you feel un-rested you can of course use sleep salon once in a while to get some deep sleep.
sen, how about listening to brained while reading a book? is this still effective or does reading while listening defeat the purpose?
abet, it’s best to listen to it without any distraction, just in a state of totally allowing (it’s better with your eyes closed)
sen one more question that has been bugging me for a while…
would the act of refusing to give in to certain thoughts be considered suppressing?
abet, you need to sense what’s the conflict about – are you possibly trying to avoid contemplating a certain aspect (possibly a dark nature) that the thoughts are trying to point out and trying to cling to a “light nature version”. Basically, when you are in a place of true inner freedom you don’t ever feel that you have “fight” any thought.
Thanks Sen…I just stay allowing of whatever comes up during the the course of listening to the mp3 and try not to look for any obvious benefits or calmer states of mind. Presently, I play the demo model twice at one go (which translates into 30 minutes). Do you think that is ok or do you recommend that I buy the set of 6 mp3’s through their website and listen as advised. Wasn’t able to determine how much they cost…but i will re-check their website again…thanks again…
shi, you can work with the demo for a while (listening to it for 30 mins in a sitting), and if you sense an effective benefit with respect to your brain momentum you can look at investing in a purchase. This is product, I feel, is very effective in the process of aiding the state of allowing in finding inner balance/wholeness in the way it works in reducing the brain momentum.
Am listening Brainev several days now. My first impressions was somehow better, it seemed it gave a better effect on the first times when I listened it.
First times when I listened it gave me calming effect on the mind without reducing awareness. But later (this appeared after few days) I started to notice that while I’m listening it I start to loose awareness and indulge into some kind of fuzzy daydreams (imaginations which feels even closer to sleeping state than “normal” daydreams, probably because I listen with my eyes closed). One time I even fell asleep for few minutes while listening the file. Is it really supposed to work in this way? Plus, also the calming effect is not so much present anymore. Why could it be so? Could it be that the mind just becomes adjusted to it and thus the effectivity decreases (like with every drug)?
Btw, I haven’t also noticed any changes in my thinking capacity – it hasn’t become sharper, clearer etc.
Still, I think I will continue to listen Brainev for some time while I’ll feel at least minimal effect from it.
I also observed that there is not much difference to listen it one time at a go for 15 minutes, or 2 times (30 min). Actually, maybe even just first 15 minutes is more effective – but I will have to experiment a bit more to say for sure.
Ikars, as explained in the post, Brainev is not just a “relaxation inducing” product, it works on the logic of releasing imbalanced momentum progressively moving into deeper levels bringing up the subconscious layers to be released; the state of calm becomes more and more permanent as the momentum is released, but initially don’t worry about sensing a state of calm (though you will definitely feel calmer while listening to the mp3), rather just stay in a state of allowing what arises. Basically, the mp3 induces brain-states that allow a deeper access to your subconscious mind (similar to a deep mindfulness) and this can cause you to feel sleepy initially (like a deeper daydreaming), but with time you get used to this deeper awareness and no longer feel sleepy rather you feel a calm awareness. Of course, if you are physically tired while listening to the mp3 you are more likely to drift into sleep because there is no energy to sustain the deeper states of awareness in the brain or handle the training that’s being induced. Of course, each brain is unique in terms of its momentum/load and can have different responses initially. Personally I would suggest 30 mins as a minimum per day to listen to the mp3 in a state of allowing, preferably when you are not tired – it’s best to listen to it while sitting on a chair rather than lying on a bed, you can have your eyes closed. Your thinking capacity becomes sharper, and clearer, as the momentum of anxiety or stress gets released, the logic is simple that when the brain does not waste its energy on dealing with past momentum it has more resources available to deal with clearer thinking about the present action/involvement along with aspects of future planning.
Sen. I am a big fan and have been reading everyone of your articles for the past 12 months. I have been meditating for 8 years as well. I notice you seldom advocate the traditional meditation. In fact, you have talked about meditation as just another “technique” students use to avoid the state of total allowing. I am a big practitioner of meditation. With the help of your articles, I have become even more conscious of the practice of total allowing.
My point is I am surprised that you would advocate Braindev and not meditation so much. I would like to have a better understanding of your experience with meditation.
I am very curious about Braindev and have ordered the demo.
In a conventional sense, a meditation practice usually involves working on a “forced focus” either on your breathing or on some image or chant. I don’t advocate the practice of “forced focus” as a meditation during the state of release simply because it’s the opposite of the state of allowing, it causes you to created a forced control on your mind and acts more like a suppression technique rather than an allowing channel. Sitting in a state of allowing is like letting go of control, of “doing nothing”, and just being open to allowing what arises to arise freely – be it in the mind (thoughts) or in the emotions. It’s not easy to just sit and let go this way, because of the habitual need to take control and that’s why people immediately cling to a technique like “forced focus” – also the state of allowing causes the instigation of a “release” (which starts happening in layers, going deeper each time) and the release can feel emotionally/mentally uncomfortable, as it’s just a release of past momentum/load of negativity or imbalance. The brain immediately reacts to this “discomfort” by judging it as negative and starts resisting it in some way, usually through some sensory distractions (live watching TV) or through some control based technique like a “forced focus” meditation, which are both acting as a form of suppression at this point – hence it’s not conducive towards a release. So, I am just talking about “forced focus meditations”, if your meditation practice is aligned with the state of allowing where you simply sit and let go, then it’s aligned with the phase of release. The benefit of “forced focus meditation” is that it can improve your power of concentration, so you can use it after you are done with the phase of release purely to improve your mental concentration if you feel like it – I personally don’t worry so much about concentration because I feel that if a subject interests you then you will automatically feel like concentrating on it, forced concentration is mostly a struggle.
The deal with Brainev is that it does not work on any principle of suppression and is aligned with the state of allowing. For example, you simple put on the mp3 and let go into a state of total allowing (you don’t have to “focus” on anything, not even on the music that’s playing). The mp3 does the work of simulating balanced brainwaves and trains your brain towards this state, while you, in the state of allowing, can allow all the anxiety based thoughts to come up freely without any suppression. Also, since the brain is being trained by the balanced brainwaves, you will sense that it does not resist your emotional release either, and hence allows for a faster release of emotional energy. This dual result allows for a quicker reduction in emotional and mental momentum of imbalanced energy. You can achieve the same results purely through the state of allowing alone, but the use of Brainev allows you to cut short the time by a good margin. I’ve listened to bi-naural beats in the past, but I never really found them to be effective in any real measure, but when I listened to their demo mp3 (which includes the technology of bi-naural beats in sync with two other brain-wave technologies) I found it to be very effective in working with the brain-state. They’ve mentioned that their designers have garnered all the understandings of the years of past research in this field of brainwave entrainment to come up with tracks that are effective in creating the required training.
Heres something interesting I noticed. Reading your response to Soul about the gang rape case, notably the part about having access to wisdom and sensitivity. I have noticed that whenever I hear about something of this nature, something tragic, I don’t feel a sense of pain or sadness. I don’t feel a great sense of emotion or anything. This confuses me. Since I’m so attached to my emotional momentum elsewhere, how can I be seemingly unresponsive to these awful situations? I mean, I know I do care, I want to feel bad, but it’s almost like I can’t feel it. Like I would have to really think hard to feel it. It’s as if my own intelligence, my natural intelligence is buried. Could that be?
Tyler, there is no need to “feel bad” in order to take corrective action – wisdom is enough to take corrective action, the added burden of “feeling bad” can just blur out your actual wisdom. Even during emergencies it’s the person who is not given to emotional intensities who is able to take better charge of the situation, rather than people who breakdown in throes of emotion. It’s just that as humans we are criticized (or made to feel guilty) if you don’t “feel bad”, but in truth “feeling bad” doesn’t have any real usefulness towards creating corrective solutions – one just needs to have a clear perception about what’s good/balanced and what’s imbalanced/negative, in order to lead a balanced life and bring balance towards the outside. For example, a doctor treating a patient during an emergency case (where there is a lot injury and damage to the body) needs to work through his wisdom/intelligence instead of becoming horrified/emotional about the incident, if he were to get into a strong emotional state it would blur his wisdom and he wouldn’t be able to work on the healing/corrective process of the operation with any clarity. It’s also a truth that the very energy created by the state of “feeling bad” is highly negative and it also hampers with your own body’s harmony along with affecting the energy around you negatively – it serves no corrective/healing/positive purpose. So don’t worry about not “feeling bad”, there is nothing wrong in it – rather it shows that your awareness is evolved enough to step outside the realm of emotional response and is in a better state to work purely through the aspect of wisdom, you can look at bringing a similar awareness to any emotional momentum that you are attached to (as use this awareness to let go of being identified with its momentum).
Sen, I purchased the Brainev after listening to the demo for a week. Listening definetly calms me down, and I’ve been listening to it twice a day. At night before I go to bed, as it helps me to fall asleep, and then again before I get up in the morning. I find that it helps me get the energy to get out of bed, and start the day feeling less anxious. The company only recommends listening once a day, six days a week. Do you think that it could become a problem (habit) to listen more than recommended? I’m worried that I will become dependent on it to calm down. Sometimes it’s the only break I get throughout the day from the negative momentum in my mind, and I find myself wanting to listen at random times during the day when the anxiety level is high. Thus far I’ve not actually listened as I’m worried about it becoming a crutch. Sen I would like to know your thoughts on the frequency and possible dependancy of listening more than is recommended. Thanks, Amy
Amy, once you’ve gained an awareness/understanding about negativity (from self-introspection, learning the books you read or from web-resources like this blog, or live teachings) where you are no longer privy to identifying with it, you’ve reached a state of conscious living where you will no longer consciously fuel the momentum of negativity. In this state of consciousness you have the “aligned understanding” but will still be carrying the load of the past momentum – in other words your understanding is in place but the imbalanced energy is still present due to past momentum. It’s just that you are not going to create any further new momentum through your unconscious identification. In this state of consciousness you can use a tool like the mp3s of Brainev to assist you with erasing/removing the past momentum/load more quickly than the time it would take for you to release it purely through the state of allowing (I’ve explained in the post as to why the “loop” of past momentum created by the brain causes the delay in release during the state of allowing). In this case, Brainev does not become a crutch, because it’s just being used as an assistance to remove the “past” momentum. Once the past momentum ebbs away, you will naturally not feel the need for using Brainev; in fact its training period is 6 months (though you will sense that within 2 or 3 months your momentum/intensity of imbalanced brain-states is close to zero) and I would suggest that you finish off the training period since it’s designed to deepen your brain’s capacity for being rooted in a balanced state. After the training period you should be done with the past momentum, and your understanding/awareness will ensure that you no longer create any new momentum of negativity – thus you would be done with this process of balance altogether and would be ready for just “living” your expression. So don’t worry about this becoming a crutch. The reason why I even recommend a product like Brainev is because their logic/model is based on “training” the brain rather than creating states of temporary relief.
Though you mention that it calms you down, the fact is that Brainev is not just a “relaxation inducer”, it also works on deepening your awareness (over time) towards seeing through subconscious patterns of resistance/negativity while also assisting in the release of emotional momentum (by ensuring that the brain-state does not hinder the release). The reason you feel calm is mostly because you don’t sense a strong resistance from your brain due to the training induced by the mp3. Over-time this state will become permanent as your natural brain state. It’s fine to be listening to this mp3 for even an hour or two, initially, to work with reducing the “intense” brain momentum – but with time you wouldn’t feel the need to listen to it for more than 30 mins because your brain-states will naturally feel balanced through out the day.
Sen,
I have been listening to brainev and am finding it very helpful.As soon as I started using it I got deep sound sleep for 2 nights continously.When I woke up next morning I felt fresh,energetic and was smiling.I am listening only 1 time at night before going 2 sleep.Am feeling good but still there is anxiety feeling i mean as soon as i think or fear about something i get anxious.I hope that will reduce over a period of time.
Sen I myself cant believe as the last day I was watching a movie and i laughed whole heartedly that I got tears in my eyes.I am so surprised…is this part of release?
Thank you Sen for sharing this tool.Do you think I should buy the whole product as I read on the website that there are 6 levels which they would send.
Shira, I personally feel that this product is very effective in the process of removing the momentum of fear/anxiety in the mind and hence is highly conducive in the journey towards finding inner wholeness. You should be able to sense a reduction in the brain-momentum of anxiety even within 10-15 days of listening to the mp3 while staying in a state of total allowing – of course it would take some more time before the momentum is completely removed. In fact as you progress in the levels (level-2 mp3 and upwards) your brain would feel trained towards deeper levels of calm ensuring brain states that are rooted in being stress-free, and anxiety-free, and hence be more productive, and creative, during your waking hours.
As for the aspect of purchasing the full version, when I signed up for the demo they sent me emails regarding the product technology (you would receive emails from Karl Moore, the Manager of Brainev), and on the 7 or 8th day they sent a discount voucher of $100, using which you can purchase the entire product (6 levels) for $100 (I think the original price comes to around $240). I found $100 to be well affordable and I purchased it through this discount voucher. All the 6 mp3s become available for download immediately after you purchase. In fact, they also shipped 6 CDs of the mp3 recordings to my home address. I would say that it’s totally worth the money. I am highly impressed with this product and the logic of their technology.
Of course, if you feel that you can’t afford the product, you can simply use the level-1 mp3 alone – it’s very effective on its own.
