How often to have a Gateway Experience Hemi-Sync Session

How often should you have a Gateway Experience Hemi-Sync Session?

[Korpo]

Hello, greatman.

I think the same rule of thumb as for energy work can be applied - 4-5 times a week minimum for a good progress, a full headphone session per day for entrainment.

Also some of the exercises without headphones on your own to train for reaching the entrained states and exercising such things as color breathing, release & recharge, living body map, monthly patterning, etc. These might be done on pauses during the day, but some of them work better lying down, like living body map.

Of course, that's only my opinion.

What if you do them everyday? Can that be dangerous? I just started back up after over two weeks of ignoring Hemi-Sync and doing a little bit of NEW, and the exercises are easier to do compared to before...

I think this depends on how you react to them. I was on a workshop at the TMI where Robert combined his work and hemi-sync, and after only one day of combined work I was on an altered state, which remained for a few days after the workshop was over.
(It was awesome, btw.) I would recommend it highly.
My point is that if you are sent into an altered state as easily as that, doing it every day may get in the way of your day-to day activities, especially driving, etc., so good judgement is important.

Well, after listening to the exercises, I have been feeling the buzzing and tingling sensations that are normally felt when doing NEW...plus, I haven't had to sleep for very long...Is this harmful? I do get sleepy, but it's at its strongest in the morning while listening to one of the Hemi-Sync Metamusic tracks. This isn't due to Hemi-Sync, it's due to my stressful high school lifestyle and the fact that I am a mostly nocturnal person.

Hello, greatman, most teenagers are naturally "owls" and prefer a more nocturnal lifestyle. Still sleep is important for health and grounding.

Of course Hemisync can be done every day. And some of the Hemisync exercises are actually energy work, especially Living Body Map.

A lot of these things you have simply to monitor carefully. If you cannot sleep because of an exercise, rise early and use it as a start into the day instead. Some exercises (not only Hemisync now) can relax, and some energise.

Hemisync can actually move energies, I have noticed myself, and if you sharpen your energy awareness with energy work, you will notice that and it will work better as well.

If you feel like energy work or Hemisync ungrounds your or detaches you, ground where appropriate. If commonsense is applied, it is safe. This includes reducing or stopping when you are unsure of what you deal with. Asking here might help, but in the end you have to be sure yourself.

Take good care,

So in other words, if for example I don't feel comfortable in the Focus 12 state, should I continue Focus 10 work Until I do feel comfortable? Another question: Which is more effective: MP3 or MP3 burned to a regular Audio CD?

[Korpo]

Well, do you feel uncomfortable with Focus 12? If you do, more Focus 10 work might be appropriate. Uncomfortable is usually not the way to go.

How did Robert Monroe describe the states of the different Foci? Signposts in the woods? Focus 10 is the first, and from there you can still see where you came from. When you start to wander around the "Focus 10" spot you will become comfortable with that "place" and will "home in" on Focus 12. Focus 12 is in sight from Focus 10, but maybe beyond the line of sight of your original starting point.

Metaphor aside, the more you can readily induce and work with Focus 10, the more comfortable and easy it might become to enter Focus 12. It is surely no harm to become as good in Focus 10 as you can. In fact, right in the beginning you often accidentally hit Focus 12 when training Focus 10, or even a glimpse of Focus 15. It often comes down to persistence, patience, and regular effort.

MP3 and MP3 burned to audio CD should be actually be precisely the same. MP3 playing decodes every time, burning MP3 to CD decodes one time, but the result should be just the same *unless* the burn program does further resampling. If the burn program does noise filtering or anything like that, Hemisync efficiency should be less, as the "noise" is part of the valuable signal.

So, should I have a reason to feel scared? I did feel very tingley (or however you spell it) while doing the Orientation part....and it was sort of comfortable, but weird....

[Korpo]

greatman, you should actually never feel scared.

Were your sensations more like tingling or tickling? Then it could be energy body cleanup. Or is it more like agitation? Then grounding and physical activities might be in order.

If you feel afraid, stop, and look why.

I never had the impression Hemisync could be dangerous, but trying to project is having an influence on your energy body, as do have trance states, as even your normal emotions do. Trying to understand is usually the best ways to deal with this.

Please feel free to go into deeper detail, and if you cannot else, PM is an option as well. Else I'm just assuming what is happening, while it most likely is just a common phenomenon.

Take good care,
Oliver
