Holosync meditation

yes, Hamster,,, CenterPointe specifically includes a Sleep CD with their set... but i believe you can buy it seperately,,, it does not require headphones to use, and can be set to repeat all nite, if you need that... i can tell you that it DOES work~! i usually listen to it at the end of my session, to let me remain in the calm state longer.

thanks for asking~ these holosync CD's are sometimes referred to as "Alpha/Theta entrainment" by psychiatrists, because they cause the brain to move toward and eventually harmonize with the particular brain wave format on the disk. this has the effect of changing the brain's performance perameters.... or causing it to become calm, feel more composed, etc... while encouraging the brain to make those connections required to maintain that state.

many people fall asleep listening to the regular CD's, because it makes the brain work to make those new neural connections, or repair the damaged ones. the instructions say, "don't go on to the next level until you stop falling asleep on this one". that of course does not apply to the Sleep CD ~

i hope you find it helpful
best wishes~

Yes, thanks very much. I will try. I am really motivated, because when I tried to be off all bipolar meds, I still needed Elavil for sleep. Well, after 6+ months I became hypomanic because Elavil, an old AD (tricyclic, pre-SSRI), switched/flipped me into hypomania. Now I am on Lithium again, doing well, but it is kind of silly because I take it to cover for Elavil, preventing another hypomania.

Well, I am thinking that if I can use these tools to at least reduce the dosage of Elavil, I can take less Lithium, which kills my thyroid. So your remissions are inspiring for me and I will try.

Thankyou for the tips! Unfortunately I didnt see this thread again before finishing the CDs that I had.

I got back to being able to meditate and relax again, but the anxiety during sessions did come and go. One day I'd be anxious during it and the next few days I'd be fine.

I did really enjoy the holosync over all and wish I was in the financial position to continue. I do think it had a positive affect on me overall. I cannot say for sure if it was just the act of meditation or the actual beats but I did notice an improvement in my symptoms, however slight at times.

I stopped meditating a few weeks ago as my OCD got so severe it was just too distressing to lay alone with my thoughts (I was no longer using the holosync cd at the time). I'd like to go back to meditating but I think I need some short meditations, I will look into it more but the way my head is at the moment it is difficult. I tried guided meditation in the hospital but had a panic attack so I havent tried again. I know I should, and I will, I just need some time.

I truly appreciate the support from you all in this thread. And for those wondering I certainly think Holosync is worth a try, especially if you are struggling with meditation.
