A Powerful Meditation Practice Can Improve Everything That Matters
In the Hindu tradition, they talk about how siddhis emerge after one begins a process of deep meditation and awakening. Siddhis are special abilities and capacities, the equivalent of charisms or “gifts of the Spirit” in the Christian sense. In the Letters of Paul, in the New Testament, he talks about how different gifts of the Spirit were emerging in…
Read MoreA Dedicated Daily Meditation Practice Makes All the Difference
I think that enlightenment is a process—not one where somebody flicks on a light bulb and then you’re enlightened forever, and you’re perfect, and you speak all languages—no. It’s not like that. But it is a process, and when we engage in a daily meditation practice, perhaps that is the most enlightened choice that we can make…
Read MoreUnder Intense Stress? Do a Brainwave Entrainment Meditation Marathon
It’s the last day of a five-week Integral Recovery intensive and I feel really good about it. There was a lot of healing, a lot of practice, and people are at a different place from where they started. We did a lot of work: We meditated an hour every morning and 40 minutes every evening. Then we…
Read MoreThe Neuroscience of Shadow Integration – Part II
Last week we defined the shadow, according to Carl Jung, and discussed how to recognize the shadow when it’s trying to get our attention. (See The Neuroscience of Shadow Integration Part I.) Today I’d like to talk about the possible neural correlates of the persona and the shadow. First, I’d like to point out that none of this…
Read MoreTechnological Grace: Just When We Needed You Most
While I was meditating today, I was thinking about all the breakthroughs people are having doing this practice of using brain entrainment and biofield technology while meditating. If you could sit where I sit, hear, and read all of the testimonials from people that are using the iAwake technology—from our beta testers, from the students…
Read MoreThe Neuroscience of Shadow Integration – Part I
My hope is that this article will inspire you to use the power of your own consciousness to become aware of your shadow, to allow it to be your teacher, and to integrate it. As we become more deeply and mindfully centered in our hearts, the recognition and integration of previously unconscious shadow processes changes our…
Read MoreVision Questing in the Postmodern World: Now More Important Than Ever
Vision questing is a very personal topic for me; I have vision quested for years and also developed wilderness therapy programs that put hundreds of people out on vision quests. I’m talking about the traditional type of vision quest here, in which the individual goes into the wilderness and finds a spot. When we were helping…
Read MoreEmotional Alchemy: Holding the Pain, Transmuting the Darkness
My contention is that if we really want to get in the evolutionary fast lane, we’ll dedicate one hour a day to our meditation practice. For most people, mornings are the best time—before the world gets going and our opportunity to sit quietly slips away. So many of us tend to make excuses and skip…
Read MoreHow to Stay Grounded When Your Third Eye Awakens
An iAwake Techonologies practitioner wrote in recently, saying that after listening to VisionQuest, he felt “a low pressure” in his third eye area for two to three days afterwards. He wondered if anyone else was having a similar experience and what the pressure might signify. This is a common report we hear from people who use…
Read MoreUsing the Profound Meditation Program to Move Closer to Our Source
I was talking to a client the other day, and he said, “I lost my signal because I’m so far away from my source.” He was talking about his Wi-Fi source. I said, “That’s really deep.” He said, “Yeah, it is.” And we both wrote it down. If we lose our signal, our capacity to…
Read MoreUnderstanding the Effects of Biofield Technology on Our Meditation Practice
Biofield technology is an important aspect of what the Profound Meditation Program 3.0 offers, complemented by its uniquely powerful brainwave entrainment technology. Last week, I described how PMP 3.0’s brainwave entrainment technology differs from traditional brainwave entrainment, and this week, I’d like to talk about what biofield technology is and how we use it. In essence, our biofield technology…
Read MoreHow a Daily Meditation Practice Gives Us Direction and Purpose
One of the really essential things that we need at a certain level of development, in order to balance our lives and get into the zone of our own actualization, is a sense of vocation, a sense of, “Oh, this is what I’m supposed to be doing in the world.” Like the old U.S. Army ad used…
Read MoreThe Unique Brainwave Entrainment Technology of the Profound Meditation Program 3.0
Brainwave entrainment represents a way of using technology to take our meditation and our spiritual practices into territory that has previously been very difficult, if not impossible, for us to venture into. My inspiration for creating the Profound Meditation Program 3.0 was not about just adding binaural beats or isochronic tones to music, using conventional audio entrainment methods to create…
Read MoreA Poem by John Dupuy: Before the Stillness
Before the stillness the storm. Before peace the war. Before rebirth the destruction and the fire. Before forgiveness the pain of the violated. Before God the despair of the soul that is lost and has forgotten. Before dawn the darkness. Before awakening the dreams. The dreamer awakes to the source, is the source, the maker…
Read MorePracticing Meditation to Wake Up and Find the Meaning of Life
I have kept up my meditation practice for these past seven and a half years first of all because, neurologically, I didn’t want to slip back into life-threatening depression. But also, I just didn’t want to live my life according to my own ego conditioning, my traumas, and my often false stories about the reality…
Read MoreDigital Shaman ~ The Story Behind Vision Quest
With the introduction of VisionQuest, Eric Thompson, creator of iAwake Technology’s products, puts on squarely the mantle of what I believe is one of his true callings to our world: Digital Shaman. Until I wrote it out I didn’t realize how much it seemed… apt. I see a shaman as a person who is a bridge between…
Read MoreIntroducing VisionQuest: A Journey into Shamanic Consciousness
The idea behind VisionQuest is to help facilitate the desire to transform one’s life through receiving a deeper insight into what is holding one back or what is necessary for moving to the next level. Shamanic journeying is a different way of gaining knowledge and wisdom than what is generally accepted here in the West, where we…
Read MoreBreaking our Addictive Patterns with the Profound Meditation Program
When we meditate with the Profound Meditation Program, we are consciously engaged in the process of evolving and healing our brains in an integral and holistic way. Unfortunately, this type of healing technology has not been available until very recently, and many of us are suffering from neurological deficits and emotional wounding based on our past…
Read MoreScience and Subjectivity: Are They Mutually Exclusive?
“We say Newton discovered gravitation. Was it sitting anywhere in a corner waiting for him? It was in his own mind; the time came and he found it out. All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in your own mind. The external world…
Read MoreHow to Transform Your Brain, Starting Right Now
I’d like to share two very simple but very profound and powerful practices that can help us to develop deeper self-love and acceptance, and deeper empathy. With these practices, we gain a sense of being attuned not only to others, but also to ourselves. In fact, we find that there’s a reciprocal relationship: the more we become…
