Holosync - Heard of it?

topic posted Wed, March 21, 2007 - 5:43 PM by  Karoline
I have been hearing a lot about these CD's you listen to while meditating - and they claim that you meditate even deeper than a Zen Monk while listening to the sounds.

It is a new technology which is supposed to balance the brain out and promote "whole brain thinking". Basically better communication between the right and left hemispheres. After a couple of months of regular listening, manifesting what you want and being the person you want to be, becomes almost automatic - they say...

Sounds pretty cool if you ask me! I got the demo, which only gives you a little taste, and Im really thinking about getting the whole set BUT I wanted to run it by you guys first to see if anyone had tried it....

Thanks!

    I think there have been threads about this before, perhaps on another Tribe. Anyway, I have tried it and think it's good...but it's also in my opinion an expensive and heavily hyped product. As soon as you buy on thing, they try to sell you a whole new series of CDs. Apparently there are something like a half a dozen levels, which end up costing thousands of dollars. I like the concept, but there are quite a few products out there that are comparable. Another thing about Holosync -you have to use it for a full hour every day, which is a lot of time for many people to devote to meditation. I can usually manage a half hour but a full hour is hard. So, it may be a good product, but it's expensive and demanding of your time and money :)

      Heard of it, bought the CDs and the t-shirt....well..actually no t-shirt.

      What I can tell you is only my experience, not general truth or universal truth.

      Yes, the CDs were expensive. Yes, they helped me clear some stuff.

      I guess my biggest challenge with them was the actual time it took to listen to the CD daily. Apart from the hemi/holosync encoding--which is virtually inaudible(which it is meant to be) there is very little sound on the tracks--rain, a few crystal bowls....???

      The sound of rain is great for enhancing a meditative state but I found the crystal bowls didnt blend well with that....rain is falling gently, now harder...now more gently....sliping off into a medative state....BONG!!....crystal bowl...wha? what's that?

      So I found that listening to the CDs consistently was more about will power. And will power is the domain of ego, not spirit. Spirit is free.

      I do like to have music playing as I meditate but I like to change it once in awhile, there is so much good music available.

      Also, for the holosync encoding to be effective you need a good/expensive set of headphones.

      If youre seriously looking at brain entrainment, I would suggest you have a look at Monroe Institute hemi-sync
      www.hemi-sync.com/store/home.php

      As I understand it Robert Monroe pioneered hemi sync brain entrainment.
      There is a good pair of brain wave maps here:
      www.hemi-sync.com/store/pages.php

      As I understand it, a lot of energy, and technology went into Bill Harris' holosync program and I am not criticizing his offering. There may be people who like that particular style of sound track. I just prefer to keep my meditation time music options a little more flexible. And enjoyable.

      One other thing I feel motivated to say, which is also just opinion. Bill Harris who has obviously put a lot of his energy and his life into the holosync technology, must, if he believes in his product, listen to them every day.

      So you get to ask yourself, what kind of energy do you feel from him as you listen to his free online course, read his web site? Recieve his marketing emails? Is that something silimar to the kind of energy you want to feel? Is it calming energy, loving energy? or just wealthy?

      There are no wrong answers here, we each have our own individual answers and desires. I just find it valuable to look at a long time user of the technology. And if he doesnt use it....well that would be revealing too.

      Obviously I am saying all of this in hindsight.

      Enjoy the journey.

        Thank you so much to the both of you! This has given me some things to think about. I really love the idea of the CD's, but I dont want to get suckered into some marketing scam... It seems like Bill Harris really believes in this stuff, but I don't want to invest all kinds of money if its not a sure thing....

        Shera, thank you for your suggestions of other brain entertainment!

        Take care

    Binaural Beats are amazing...

    I am apart of a project called Psyche Sonics. We have been using binaural beats and isocronics for research in human potential and such. Binaural beats is a technique of brain entrainment that allows you to enter deep trance states, help stress, sleep patterns, and more. Here are a few 'sets' to download...

    www.4shared.com/file/36481...amming.html

    listen to them in a quite setting with headphones.

    We have been studying human potential, mind and spirit for a few years. There is a philanthropy website called Ideablob that pays a 10,000 grant for the idea with the most support. We are using this resource to put funding towards research on altered states of consciousness with sound, psionics, deprivation tanks, and other cutting edge technology.

    I was hoping you could help us get the word out about this exciting opportunity to push research in these Fields in an open source setting of gifting the knowledge back to the community.

    The web site is
    ideablob.com/ideas/1707-Psyche-Sonics

    Thank you so much for your time.
