Question. What is the recommended time frame for these meditations? |

Great! I plan to start Version 1: Listening to a Noisy World Level 1 tonight. I plan to move somewhat slowly so I can enjoy myself and really grasp the meditations. |

During the listening technique I went outside in my back yard. I heard birds, air unit, traffic, and wind in the trees. At first when I tried to focus two or more my attention would bounce back and forth. I can get 3 but 4 was more difficult. Then a loud motorcycle can through and shattered my concentration. Also, it was a lot like meditation; from time to time my internal thoughts distracted me. It is a very fun exercise but I don't get to practice every day. I will as much as possible. |

Yes I suppose that would be more advanced. The basics are difficult enough. I feel that I am doing well but its hard to know if I am doing it right. I am not sure what to expect. I've only done the listening exercises and there are time when the two or three sounds become one sound but separate at the same time. Is that about right? |

Your experience will be your own. this is mind expansion stuff, so as long as it seems challenging, or you are experiencing interesting things, you are doing it correctly. For, now you just need to prove to your self that you normally ignore and actually erase most sensory input. Then you can work on increasing your brains abilities. |

Ah ok. Makes sense. Thanks. |

Ok I am supposed to be posting here. I guess I have been just working on mastering the basic meditations. I have been doing this at least once per day. I can't seem to maintain for even five minutes without something distracting me even momentarily but I am getting progressively better. I also try to incorporate sageous' awareness technique into these meditations. I have to say it is getting easier and I am becoming lucid more often. I just have to work on staying in the dream. |

Sweet! Sounds like all is going well for you as far as your training. Keep it up. |

I'm still working on meditations. Not every day. I find it hard fit this time in without distractions, but I do what I can when I can. Also, I noticed in my last LD how much more vivid the dream was. Especially the sense of touch and sound. These exercises are the cause of that. Love it! |
|
Thanks! It is goood to see results in acctual LDs. Remember the principle idea of each lesson and try using it here and there during your day, that will give you more oppertunity to practice. Also, as I have often said, there is no hurry, I plan on many students taking about a year to get down much of this stuff, and longer to truely excell at it, but hey, we have long lives. |
|
Thank you. It's good to remember not to rush things like this. It can become frustrating and discouraging. I think this maybe more of a lifestyle change than anything else. |
|
I haven't been doing a lot of meditations lately but I have been noticing the sensory improvement in my LDs. Especially the one this morning. I'll have to meditate more and take it to another level. Thanks for this class. I love it! |

So it's been awhile. I haven't quit! I have been fitting in some of the yoga stuff here and there. I can't seem to find time to settle down and do this but I try. |

You are looking to actually see the shapes and colors, the same way you see hypongogic images. That starts with an image in the minds eye, like day dreaming, and then you use that to actually create HI type visual responses. |

Time to dig deep again. |
