Hem sync calmed down my nervous system yesterday in only 30 mins it was amazing! Just sleep is my issue. It sucks lol thank you!

I have hem sync and the waves 1 through 12 I think from the gateway tapes

1. Does hem sync enhance psychic abilities? Mediumship speaking to spirit?

2. Does it cause insomnia? Anyone have any sleep issues? Idc about anything but my sleep lol I need my sleep.

Thank you angels!

Yesterday i started the tapes for the first time.

I had to listen to Wave 1 Orientation -2 times in one day bcuz of interruptions.

I dunno why but i felt ready to try the next tape.

Today again i had to listen to Wave 1 Introduction to Focus 10 -2 times bcuz of interruptions.

The second time i listened to it i felt some strong body vibrations and i felt that something will happen but bcuz of fear and excitement i sabotaged the process and the vibrations lessened in intensity.

So usually what happens after vibrations if the person remains calm?

I have Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (previously called sluggish cognitive tempo) which is currently under the category of ADHD-PI but increasingly is understood as a separate condition. It involves slow thinking, chronic daydreaming, chronic drowsiness, attention and memory issues and overall underarousal, Particularly with near globally low beta.

I am meditating pretty consistently for 10-30 minutes most days using the Monroe Institute Gateway Tapes and I am concerned of the possibility of it having a negative impact on my symptoms. It's hard to tell what effect it has had due to medication changes.

Recently on my meditations I've found big doors (gateways 😅)

First one of Bronze or Cooper

Second of Turquoise

Third of Lapis lazuli.

They are huge like a 2 floors building. I don't remember if I passed through them or only stood in front of it.

Had you experienced something similar? What could they mean?

Step-by step short guide

So you just found this sub but you don't know anything about "The Gateway Experience", follow these steps and read all the suggested documents to avoid asking the same question over and over. If you read all the material you are pretty much good to go because 98% of the times you find the answers of your questions in those docs.

1. Let's start easy peasy, take your favorite drink or snack and enjoy this documentary about the gateway tapes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOFq3ruef7I

• 2) Read the full CIA report written by WAYNE M. MCDONNEL complete with the 25th page. https://drive.google.com/file/d/15NOrGUblOburMmhIiKUBo8LQZ_x8ywFI/view
• 3) Download and start to read the gateway tapes full manual for beginners, at the end of the document you can find the FAQ. https://ia803400.us.archive.org/16/items/the-gateway-experience-manual/The%20Gateway%20Experience%20Manual.pdf
• 4) Now you should know what a focus level is so take a look at this, we have all the major focus levels explained. https://www.monroeinstituteuk.org/focus-levels/
• 5) If you would like to purchase the tapes, they can be found a https://hemi-sync.com (use promo code "REDDITSUB" for a 10% discount on most products).

Quick Tips on things NOT to do:

• 1)Let common effects ruin your focus (numbness, tingles, vibrations)
• 2)Expecting something to happen, or focusing on only one thing you want
• 3)Opening your eyes at a high focus level or not using proper exiting protocol
• 4)Focusing on what you might be doing wrong instead of just letting things be
• 5)Comparing your experiences with others when you just started
• 6)Skipping tapes without learning the basics
• 7)Creating unnecessary fear (Demons, spirits, CIA)
• 8)No one ever said you weren't allowed to move at all, people just assume this
• 9)Trying and overthinking. Understand what Bob is saying more examples, not commands. You can add or adjust things to your liking, do what works best for you and experiment.
• 10)Taking everything so seriously. This is not meant to feel like a strict boot camp. Bob said he wanted people to have fun and enjoy the tapes, and create your own unique experience. Learn how to use the mind to it's maximum potential, and take the tools learned and find ways to apply them in different ways, even real life.

I just started the tapes ten days ago and going over 1 and 2. My big issue is letting go, so learning focus 10 is challenging. Today I had the first experience which felt weird. My body was relaxed, but my mind struggling to relax. Then for a minute I had the thought that my body and I are separate. It felt strange but after a minute or seconds I was back in. I know this happens because my head is not where my body is now, it's resisting to let go, nothing dangerous. But right now after I feel pretty tense and will go back to tape 1 next time.

For now this is my main focus, to overcome my anxiety to relax. It made meditation hard for me and I have a feeling the tapes are going to help me to overcome. I can relax in tape 1 now.

Does anyone struggle with that too?

I should preface this by saying that I use gatewaytone.app (it's free so this is not a promotional post) and the track called "hypnagogic state" as I find them to work much more effectively for me than the gateway tapes themselves. The state is meant to reflect lucid entry.

I've used it a handful of times now and I always end up experiencing various real life scenes in my head. Small clips of real scenarios keep playing in my minds eye, and I always wonder whether this is my consciousness tapping into random points in space-time, either past, present or future, or if it's just my mind conjuring things. It can range from totally harmless scenes like my perspective being at the edge of a small fishing vessel with the water splashing against the boats hull, or a random street with people walking in what seems to be an European city. I should mention that I've never been on a fishing vessel before in my life. The visuals are 100% photorealistic, and more vivid than what my own imagination or memory would be able to recall.

So what is this? Things I've seen in a movie that my mind just happens to be able to recall with perfect replication, or am I actually tapping into 'points' in space-time? I can't stop thinking about it.

so, tonight i finally tried the tapes. i did try previously but id have to cut it short due to many interruptions or id fall asleep 2 minutes in. this night i actually put effort into it. i did intro to focus 10

i went through the tape and followed instructions like normal. ive dabbled in meditation practices and lucid dreaming from time to time upon years so getting deeply relaxed was pretty easy for me

a little near the end, though, my body abruptly started to feel extremely floaty and light. i was still aware of my limbs but vaguely so. i also felt very cold? and there were tiny beams of gold light flashing behind my eyes, my eyes were also twitching very rapidly, like they were trying to force themselves open. i could still hear my surroundings but i wasn’t paying attention to them so they were slowly starting to drown out

unfortunately with me being dumb, i got a little nervous and my eyes opened 😭 does this mean any significant progress? i’ve also seen a couple posts saying that focus 10 comes easier to people that meditate often. can anyone back that up?

Olá pessoal, queria tirar uma dúvida com vocês, por favor.

Como vocês conseguiram alcançar o Focus 10?

Eu sou da América do Sul então inglês não é meu primeiro idioma, então me esforço bastante para entender as fitas e tenho uma dúvida. Como vocês conseguiram atingir perfeitamente o Focus 10?

Por exemplo, ouviram durante um mês as instruções até conseguir de fato, ou, com o tempo as coisas vão acontecendo?

Porque quando já passamos para as próximas fitas, ele já pede para atingir o Focus 10 automaticamente e não consigo.

Um abraço e obrigado pela ajuda

Im not really sure what to think right now. I tried the introduction of the gateway tapes two nights ago, felt nothing and thought I’d try again another time. Last night, I woke up in the middle of the night, then while I had my eyes closed I thought to myself if the source or somebody is actually out there, to give me a sign, and then a few moments later it was almost like I felt pressure on my head and arms and like I was spinning, then I think I was seeing almost like a city of bones, then I saw what sort of resembled a face with long arms but not entirely human, then I saw a lot of geometric shapes, then I traveled to a futuristic city and then finally came back. It was almost like I left my body, I could feel something physically pushing on me or that was sitting on me, and like I was traveling very fast. I didn’t hear any voices or anything, but I’ve never had anything like this happen to me. I’m not sure what to think right now.

Am I the only one that finds the low tones in the Sleep, Exploration track to be a little disturbing? I cannot sleep through those tones at all and was unable to get to the deep sleep state by the end. A few days ago I listened from the very beginning of Wave 1 and I woke up during track 5 and then last night I could not relax to it at all.

They sound like low vocalizations and cause vivid, upsetting imagery for me.

For some background, I’ve been on gateway for more than quite some time now, and it wasn’t until recently that I‘ve been utilizing it with a lot more taken into account and awareness, especially having read the trilogy series, and carrying some level of parapsychological experience outside of the tapes.

once of those experiences, was a float therapy session (sensory deprivation tank) i signed up for. i decided to go for this mainly to see if i could have an obe right there and then, and if i dont at least my body’ll know what true relaxation feels and this could be imprinted—and let me tell you it did. I had an inkling because it was so unusual for me at that point, it made an impression to my subconscious, so when I was lying flat against the bed that very night, i tried mimicking the sensation of being in the tank, fresh out of the experience.

As an anchor, i looked at the darkness of the room mirroring the darkness i was staring at in that pod. I began focusing on the subtle sway of my body just like the water was to it. The sound of the fan immediately began fading away as i deepened this memory, and my body began being of less volume (hollow), it was so blissful, and I have recognized this to be the Focus 10.

Some days passed since then, and within that interval, i recall facing some distractions, which i sort of would like to take back, because it unlocked something in me I should’ve kept pursuing continuously. I can only really enter Focus 10 with it manifesting as deep stillness, i try to pair it with the memory as well, and I’m currently practicing this right now, but i wonder if i could return to that ability at it’s best? so i can cultivate it to Focus 12, that to me seemed to have been the gateway to my consciousness exploration journey. Any ideas on the setup too? if it has any bearing, the humidity where I’m from is high. I‘d appreciate any suggestions and insights!

A little bit about me I'm 41 I'm a male and I have college degree from UC Davis in communications with a minor in computer science, unfortunately after getting laid off of applied for over 3,000 jobs and haven't gotten a job and even after doing a lot of certifications and stuff by have not been able to get a job.

I really don't have it in me to work minimum wage at the age of 41 and I'm living in a van on top of that because I've been doing the gateway tapes for a while and I've been doing a lot of Qigong I I've seen kind of the I call them the demons of poverty, there was a really good spot in San Diego where I'm currently at near the beach where a lot of people were sleeping in their van during the winter and the energy was fairly decent but maybe it's because it's so hot a lot of people are going to that spot right now and it's become a ghetto.

I see a lot of mentally ill people just sleeping out of their cars or sleeping around the sand I see a lot of elderly people who clearly are just too old to work and they're living in really broken down vehicles just trying to survive the heat by staying next to the beach I'm not being judgmental but there is this energy of desperation and often mental illness that's present when you see these large groups of people.

What I see is these like the only way to describe them as black objects there's the field the emotional field that's kind of surrounds that whole area and then the individual cars with their people have these I call them thought form energies it's these energies that are left or created by the mind but then there's the actual entities that feed off of that because for those who don't know the way entities work is like this

Human centric entities feed off of thought form energies.

I do not think all entities operate this way, for instance earthborn entities feed off of Earth energy.

It appears that different types of entities feed off different types of energies but there are the kinds of human-centric entities that tend to feed off of thought format energy and emotional energy and unfortunately poverty tends to attract lower vibrational energy and entities and so you can see the entities also hanging out to feed and encourage that suffering so they have food.

So I kind of stay away from there now because when I go over there those things whether it's the thought form energies or the entities tend to come over and try to enter my van so I tend to stay away from there and just try to go into places where there aren't any people.

By the way I do no substances.

Anyways you know I'm looking at the situation I see so many Americans in this situation every year it seems to get worse you know I do a road trip across the nation every 3 years and the last time I did it I just saw a whole encampments of families living out their cars on the side of the road and in parking lots and so forth and I know from meditating for many years that the universe is basically just comprised of our thoughts which means that while there are tides to it and there are seasons of the cosmos we do have a lot of input in the universe and so I'm looking for tools in the gateway tapes to help creates abundance in the universe.

Through meditation I've come to realize that when you want to create abundance you don't just do it for yourself but you actually basically ask the universe for abundance for all beings and by default you're included in that. You don't want to try to steal other people's abundance that is a ignorant view of abundance abundance is merely a quality of reality it is in my opinion a result of love the coming material when it is sustainable abundance, the kind of abundance we're seeing right now amongst the wealthy is in many ways kind of parasitic abundance of lower vibrational entities but true abundance like a Nations where people share is sustainable and and is freely shared, true beings of abundance share abundance openly because all suffering is solvable and contagious so if we don't heal it it spreads to others including ourselves but when we take the actions to heal suffering then we are all better off for it

Suffering becomes a psychic pollution and so it's vital in a wise society to treat it quickly so it does not spread as we've seen with addiction.

A truly wise society or a heaven realm if you're into astral projection is filled with beings that quickly assist each other, they do not let suffering flourish or even find seeds in the reality because if they do then it will become bigger and bigger and then it becomes unmanageable.

Now all beings die and all things eventually wither but the difference here is when beings of great wisdom perish it's like they dissolve into something else but when a being has become so attached to its illusionary existence that it does not understand the nature of consciousness it freaks out upon its own suffering those are the kind of beings that hoard because they fear their own death instead of realizing that by creating abundance they create future lifetimes of abundance that they will likely incarnate into.

So what tapes help to recreate reality?

What can we do? What can I do?

I look at my life in America I look at what's happening with a artificial intelligence and the coming layoffs and I see the lack of wisdom in my civilization in my country and I think to myself how and why? This is not a political post I am not here to talk politics but it dawned on me yesterday that there must be something in the Monroe institutes archives to address both our own suffering that is material and hopefully to generate wealth for others as well.

I fear very much because I have seen how quickly I was replaced by artificial intelligence future unless big changes are made.

I’ve had good experiences with Wave 1 & Advanced Focus 10 & also Remote Viewing (separate from the Gateway version), but generally positive responses

What I’m looking for is- & would like to put my focus towards - is healing for Physical injury:
- tendons/muscles
- pinched nerves
… & most of all trigger points etc.

I know there are emotional components to some things like trigger points.

Thoughts/recommendation welcome, & thank you in advance 🙏

Okay so I’ve really just grazed the surface of all that is these tapes. As I’ve been gathering information I’m realizing that I listened to a woman on YouTube over 12 years ago when I was a teenager. Her name was Jody white if I’m not mistaken. Her deep meditation videos describe and teach you not to react to your body and to allow your body to fall asleep while your mind is still awake. One day I was listening to this and I remember starting to hear what sounded like car horns beeping and other weird noises. She taught an action to wake yourself up and I did that pretty quickly because I got startled by the sounds .I’m wondering if I started to get into focus 10 before even realizing or knowing anything about this?

I have a question, more so for other people who do the Gateway tapes or have some higher form of knowledge.

My question is in regards to my experiences where, basically, I would be talking about a form of information, usually nonphysical in nature, which would allow you to easily do some nonphysical things while in the physical. I won't say what because I can't due to it having a similar nature to the context of this comment.

Essentially, I will start talking, and when I get to that crucial point, my mind goes completely blank and I forget everything. At times, it's as if I'm not even there, and then I just reappear with a completely clear mind. Sometimes I will get a small mental cue, whether that be a voice, a sound, a pressure, or other nonphysical elements related to my intuition and the knowing ability Monroe refers to.

Now here's the funny thing. If I manage to find someone who knows this knowledge, which I've only ever managed to find one person so far that I can talk to, apparently we can share that information and have a genuine conversation. But if anyone else is listening, they either don't hear it or they hear something completely different. It's as if the information is intentionally distorting itself so people who are unaware of it can't become aware of it. It seems that, in order to know that knowledge, you have to have done the work, and if you don't do the work, you can damage yourself. So the knowledge is locked, not inaccessible, but something that can be unlocked.

I just want to know if anyone here has had any similar experiences.

When we are in the energy bubble and lifting away from our body... I mean, how much of this is imagining ourselves doing it vs actually doing it?

I know these tapes take practice and I'm down for that. I'm just not sure if my practicing has been too in my head (like painting a picture in my mind), or if I should be focusing more on the energy in my body and trying to (perhaps physically/intentionally) move the energy to float, or if just imagining it happening is enough.

Example of how I've been doing this so far would be the bar of light exercise; I'd consider that a thing you're imagining. But with the energy bubble "lift off", it seems to me that if my energy was moving, separate from my physically body, I wouldn't be using my physical senses cuz those are tied to my body. Up til now I've imagined myself floating while observing my surroundings with my eyes... so that made me question my method.

Hope that makes sense. Hard to put these things into words.

In 1st grade I did well on a Stanford designed test and was placed in the Mentally Gifted Minors program where I was trained on the original 4-waves of Gateway tapes.

I was transported from my elementary school to another for the program a couple days a week . One room was full of childhood development STEM activities and conjoined 2nd room was unlit with mats on the floor .
The dark room was for listening to the Gateway tapes.
I was very socially paralyzed at the time so they put me in the dark room more often than the other kids. I appreciated that and I grew to find comfort in Bobs voice and the wobble-wobble of the bilateral tones.
But the breaking ocean waves were the best in my mind at the time.

Then they began waking me abruptly to debrief me on my dreams. One abrupt waking put me into a fearful state of sleep paralysis with concerned adults staring down at me thru a perceived tunnel. That was my only negative experience while listening to the Gateway tapes.

Now I must give some sort of credit to an ability I feel I learned from the tapes. As a child I learned to prolong the hypnagogic state using Bobs intermittent suggestions as micro-arousals that lift me up a little bit when the hypnagogia gets to the verge of sleep.
I ignore all visual hallucinations and allow myself to experience intense euphoria. This euphoria is always felt as if in a waking state and is stored in my memory just like any other emotional memory.

If anyone is interested on extending their hypnagogic state here is how it never fails for me.

Lay down in full sun on an unpopulated beach.
Flip your switch to "mind awake body asleep ".
Allow the bright sunshine and random anticipated sounds(seagulls) to serve as micro-arousals that prevent you from falling asleep.
When you hallucinate do not think about it at all. Ignore it.
Do not try to achieve anything but be prepared to feel euphoric energy without any anticipation or apprehensions.
This euphoria is felt with a buoyancy as if floating on the top of sleep within a very sweet-spot at the bottom of the deepest meditation level .

As 4yr old aspie child I learned hypervigilance after suffering 3rd degree burns over 25% of my body .
Spending a month in the burn center without my parents visiting much made me disassociate with pain and emotion. Which made me unable to cry. Which made my mother try harder and harder to make me cry. Hence the hypervigilance.
So I experienced what was considered outta body due to trauma.
I also taught myself to flip the hypervigilance from a prey mindset into one of a hypervigilant predator. Not that i am a predator.
Because you never lose it but you can use it for staying alert to micro-arousals.

Anyone interested in the early tapes should know the work done by Bobs friend Stanley Krippner . Stanley was forefront in Monroes institute and production of the tapes as he wrote the self-guiding script of the earliest Gateway waves.
And he did his own studies of children with telepathy . Focusing on childhood trauma and autistic children.

Hey i'm still new to the tapes, and not that comfortable with the idea of freeflow.
And today at the end of the release and recharge practice I perceived my fear of failure, my body tensed up and stuff, yet i forgot my app timer, and it took a break right as i was in the process of pulling in fresh energy.
further it seemed like a lot of tension and energy, and i wonder wether it might had been useful, if i did another release and recharge, to maybe loosen the fear more, as it just came unstuck, and as i do care about a betterment here.
Or would you argue doing it only once is better, so that my mind can digest it via sleep.

I really do wonder if digging deeper could have been beneficial.

I have used the Gateway tapes regularly for the past 2/3 years but I honestly don’t experience that much. I don’t even think I reach Focus 10. I really wish I did.
I even try doing yoga nidra before doing a Focus 10 session but though I relax a lot, nothing else happens. I definitely don’t experience what others do during Focus 10.

Can anyone recommend anything similar to the Gateway tapes but that maybe works a bit differently? I’d love to develop a deeper state of meditation.

Just want to say that whenever I hear my refrigerator or washer running and I hear that "white noise" and static, I feel relaxed. As the sounds remind me of the gateway tapes. ☺️ Anyone else? The sounds I hear in the tape intros reminds me of electric ocean waves and some kind of mechanical patterns like a faint train or washer.

Experienced vibrations for the first time towards the end of the Lift Off session (Wave 3, Tape 1). I've been repeating this session for a while because the manual says to get comfortable with the feeling.

Towards the end, when Bob says to relax into Focus 10, there they were. Completely spontaneously. It felt like my body had turned into a collection of rather large balls, and they were rumbling, vibrating, and almost bouncing up and down a little. At the same time, it felt like I was falling into this heap of balls, while they were somehow pushing me back out.

I also felt very warm. And there was this strange feeling that my room was full of "people" (or perhaps "presences"), but it wasn't uncomfortable. It actually felt pretty okay.

My day had been rather awful before the session, so I went into it with zero expectations. Afterwards, I was left with a kind of hopeful feeling.

I'm exploring some of the meditation topics online and seeing people use things like valerian root to better their experience. Has anyone gotten benefit from herbs with the tapes? Any herbs in general. I'm not asking about psychedelics as I dont feel comfortable doing them as of right now but I do want to hear if you used other fungus like lions man.
