Is this focus 10?

[__--nezabaleta--__]

Focus 10 (or Consciousness 10 ?) are a special mind state that TMI depicts as "mind awake, body asleep". That state is compatible with trance state wich has better depicted by Robert Bruce at your online "Treatise on Astral Projection" in following words "everything gets quieter and you feel like you are in a much bigger place. There is a very slight humming feeling in your body. Everything feels different. It feels a bit like putting a cardboard box over your head in the dark, you can feel the atmosphere change. It's like everything goes fuzzy or slightly blurred. Any sharp noises, while in trance, feel like a physical blow to the Solar Plexus". Deeper trance levels has more noticeable symptoms: "An uncomfortable feeling of cold that doesn't make you shiver, coupled with a steady loss of body heat.
Mentally, you will feel very odd and everything will feel extremely slooooow. Your thought processes will slow down as if you had been given a strong pain killing injection. You will feel disassociated from your body, i.e., a strong floating sensation and everything will seem far away. Total physical Paralysis." (Again an excerpt from online Treatise on Projection).

nezabeleta, how exactly do you acheive this?

[JLBronson]

Thanks for your response nezabeleta.
This is probably what was happening, the entry into focus 10.  
Do you have any experiences or advice on "letting go" and facing the unknown?

Dear JLBronson...
For "letting go" I exactly understand that we must to cease of to analyse and simply to aknowledge the several kinestesic sensations that we experiment at any session. Like with energy movements such the reported at Robert Bruce's treatises on OBE, such a way you must to follow when at Wave 1: Discovery, you senses several symptoms pertaining to sequels of Hemi-Sync process. To analyse symptoms at a very early stage is simply lost the time. "Have fun..!" would be your main target at beginning. Another advice I can to do is what you takes notes, in a diary, related to your symptoms. Following this way of action you can to evaluate your progress and to plan variants at you exploration.

For "face the unknown" you can to catch the truly sens of such an assert, making yourself following questions: "Do I really know that my life will prolong for at least the mean life expectation term at my residence country..?" and "With which degree of certitude can I say that when I leaves the building, where I'm now, a car don't cut my lifeline..?". Facing the unknown, is to assume that the unknown is together us at any moment of our lives.
An example of facing the unknown is to think what when you are trying to project in an OBE, if it's time of to die, well, at least you don't to die when you go to pay taxes. Facing the unknown requires always a bit of humour.

Thanks nezabaleta,
The main thing I took from that in simplest terms, is RELAX and HAVE FUN.  That in its self is a difficult concept for me, so it naturally carries into the energy work as well.

I don't understand why is difficult for you "to RELAX and HAVE FUN".
Another advice what I can offer is that there are an high correlation between mind state and body state. If you quiets your mind, hence you'll quiets your body. "HAVE FUN" is comparable to go to a cinema. There (at cinema) you are only an expectator. You don't take part into action on screen. Do you understand ? It's simple..!

dang!
coldness is one of the signs of reaching focus 10???..I've been practising with the Gateway experience for nearly 2 years, and very often feel the coldness...I even thought that it's a negative entity...(heh...you can see now how relaxed - not I am;))...anyways, lately the coldness has become so severe that i almost have to stop the practise and put on another blanket....which ofcourse gets me out of the mood automaticly..
what shold I do in case of freezing to death in Focus 10?

Dear Hannah b...
Coldness is a symptom of deep trance. I advice the reading of Robert Bruce's Treatise on Astral Projection. There you can obtain a complete overview on deep trance symptoms. Nothing to do with strange beings, you can be sure about that. And remember, Hannah b, to the only thing of that you must be afraid, it is to the fear itself.
Focus 10 = trance = "mind awake, body asleep" paradox
My best regards

Hi everyone,
I have become very interested in AP and energy development and have been doing a lot of reading and I have been using the  Hemi sync wave 1, parts 1 and 2 over the course of a couple of months now, with increasing success and a feeling of increased energy on a daily basis.  Upon my 10th time using part 2(intro to focus 10), I had an unusual sensation I am not familiar with.  

I was feeling the energy sinking inward and focusing very much on this feeling, then all of a sudden, Mr. Monroe's voice was getting further and further away.  As I focused more intently I knew if I kept going with the sinking feeling in my head I would not have control of my physical body, or so I thought.  I got a little scared and opened my eyes and thought about if I wanted to keep going further, fear of the unknown. It took me a couple minutes of getting up and walking around to snap out of this state and think about what just happened.
Does anyone get this sensation of their hearing being the last sense to go before entering focus 10, and what to expect from there?
Thanks,
Jeff
