I've had a hard time relaxing, for a long while. I'm relearning,  I even bought a machine to help me relax. It works a bit.

I remember a time - in the 80s - when I bought stuff from the Monroe Institute. Tapes. No CD back then.
There was this method of relaxing where you would put your worries in a box, then gradually relax your body starting with your head and going down.
Of course there was Hemi-Sync in the background.

I would relax pretty well. It took a few sessions but I'd get somewhere.

I was going through apps at the ITune store... and found Monroe apps..

One was "Deep 10 relaxation". I recalled that I used to have success with that method.
I bought the app, used it tonight, and felt like I'd gone further into relaxation that I had with the other stuff.

I'm going to stick with that for a while, unless I find something that seems better.

Sometimes searching too far isn't always good...

I received a few cds yesterday but one of them was the wrong one. I'm waiting for the right one. 

I had another cd, called Essential Mediation. It's a free flow meditation, or with no goal. You just get into a meditative state, passively.

It has verbal instructions by Peter Russell (some in the beginning, and a few throughout the recording), some music, very easy, in the beginning and the sound of rain falling, often throughout the session... very relaxing sound.

Well it works quite strongly. Surprisingly well...  you never hear the sounds - the technology used for the effect - but they act on you anyway.

It produced an easy, smooth relaxation, nothing too deep, and at points Russell says it's ok if you lost the thread, if you drifted elsewhere mentally, don't worry it's fine, it's normal.  And in one instance I had just noticed how I had drifted and just at that moment he says something like that!  

Throughout the cd he repeats, now and then, to not try anything, not seek a result, just let things happen.

I stress again how I felt something distinctive, no cd has ever worked that well so far. It produced a nice relaxation, an ease, that I didn't have when beginning. I drifted off a few times and usually I'm more focused and controlling my thoughts, with a bit of tenseness.

This was interesting. I feel like trying again. Find out how far it can take me

I was waiting for my chakra attunement cd, re: my thread about spatial angle modulation (in welcome to astral consciousness forum), and I got another one called abundance, the wrong one. I called customer service, another 10-12 days before I get it!

I've been a member since 2004 but had left because there was too much bickering, a few know-it-alls, some weird or silly postings, etc. It made me feel like going away. Recently I thought I'd check how things were here and to my surprise, the atmosphere is a lot better and the posts generally more informative and without the bickering that existed back then.

I thought I'd stay..

Hi again..

Mostly interested in astral projection, and other greater reality.

I'm easy-going and tend to joke easily so at times I say things tongue-in-cheek, I generally don't mean to be malicious..  -or to make silly jokes, even if they are   

Instead of binaural beats, a single tone is moving from left to right, in a stereophonic field, faster than the brain can process and force the brain to produce a signal like the tremolo of binaural beats. They can also create multiple sounds at once.

It's supposed to help get you in altered states of consciousness. It sounds as if it can take you farther than Hemi-Sync?

They're interested in states that correlate with gamma waves (above beta frequencies).

I've ordered a few cds using that technology.

Anyone have experience/knowledge on Spatial Angle Modulation?


A free track you can listen to -SAM -: http://www.monroeinstitute.org/forgiveness-peter-russell/


And some people who doubt the efficacy and think it's more marketing: (it's from July 2011, I hope since people have more discernment into it..)  http://blog.higher-music.com/the-monroe-institute-announces-spatial-angle-modulation%E2%84%A2/
