Getting into the Zone with Eric Thompson and Shawn Phillips
Eric: There’s a Canadian trainer by the name of Thomas Hawes who has developed a concept he calls zone minutes; he has found among the athletes he has worked with, that the more minutes they accrue of being in the zone—of being in that place where they’re totally relaxed and totally connected to everything that’s happening around…
Read MoreTaking a Universal Perspective and What We Can Do to Evolve
Why is the whole big picture—everything, the universe—part of our conversation? It’s because we’re evolving the human brain, which means we’re evolving consciousness. I don’t know of anything more important going on right now, because everything else flows from that. There’s not a problem in the world that I can think of offhand that is…
Read MoreEmptiness and Fullness by Bill Epperly
There are two essential capacities for awakening: emptiness and fullness. What I mean by emptiness is access to radical emptiness—abiding in the place where self can seemingly dissolve to nothing, where we are in the presence of nothing, and yet have the felt sense of tremendous presence that is pure potential. I want to contrast that with…
Read MoreUsing Our Minds to Change Our Brains
How can we, as meditators, use our attention to direct the flow of energy and information in our brains? In effect, how can we use our minds to change our brains? There are many different types of meditation. One person’s definition of meditation may differ from another’s. We can loosely say that one thing meditation has…
Read MoreOn Creating New Stories to Reflect Our Deepest Selves
A lot of us have old messages about who we are and what we can accomplish. “Oh, I’m not smart enough.” “I’m not good enough.” “I certainly can’t do that.” Or whatever. Well, if we buy into these things, they become true. One of the mysterious things about the brainwave entrainment enhanced meditation practice (we’re…

Read MoreTo a Friend in Need: Opening the Way for Inner Healing & Transformation
I understand that it can be hard seeing yourself as able to make a big shift, especially when everything in your past says you can’t. The way I’ve been able to make that shift is to realize that there is a reality much bigger than my past and my conditioned identity (I tend to refer to this…
Read MoreHow Mindfulness Helps Us Heal
What is mindfulness? From what I can see, mindfulness is when you begin to develop the witness or the observer self. In other words, instead of being locked inside your story, your trauma, or your ego, you begin to experience it from the outside as in, “Oh, isn’t this interesting?” If you can observe yourself from outside the mental and emotional…

Read MoreBrainwave and Biofield Entrainment and Ultimate Spiritual Liberation
Can brainwave and biofield entrainment help in ultimate spiritual liberation? Perhaps, according to some views that still rely on subject-object dualism, it can’t or at least may not matter that much, since they are more concerned with the empty side of the table, the transcendent Subject, which, in their schools, is divorced from the manifested…
Read More7 Ways to Amplify Biofield Technology
If you have a computer, an MP3 player, or a smartphone, you can actually make biofield technology as powerful as you like by amplifying the transmission of the biofield signal, thereby increasing its “push power.” In fact, even though I have been doing brain entrainment for years and years, experiencing transformation consistently, I have found that I…
Read MoreIntegration and Mindfulness: A Dynamic Duo
Something I find quite extraordinary about the Profound Meditation Program is the integrative power of the practice. In other words, you really get through your trauma and shadow issues. They come out during the process, and often they’re expressed not just in cognitive ideas but in bodily-felt sensations. This doesn’t necessarily happen with traditional meditation. Because the Profound Meditation Program is…

Louis Parsons’ art SoulScapes was recently featured in the Integral Art Gallery – December 2012. ___________________________________________________________________________ Louis Parsons, Artist, iAwake Guest Blogger I’ve been painting professionally, in a very particular way that has become known as “SoulScaping,” for over ten years. During this time, painting has been my major spiritual practice. You see, to be honest, I’m not that good at meditating. I have a very…
Read MoreWhat Is Biofield Technology?
Biofield technology is based on the idea that every object or physical substance―everything in the universe―emits energy. When two energy fields enter into resonance with one another, this is called the universal language of resonance. What happens is an interchange―as two fields interface, they exchange energy and information. Some of you may be aware of the research…
Read MoreHow to Open Your Heart with Centering Prayer
There is not a whole lot of theology attached to Centering Prayer, but there is a lot of phenomenology―meaning inner experience. Centering Prayer is an invitation to center down and not only clear the mind and be present, but to be present to God, basically. When we surrender like this, then there is no such thing as an…
Read MoreTransformational Practice: How to Reach Higher Stages of Development
If we understand stage development, we understand the challenges that face us as a world; with so many people at so many different levels all thinking they are absolutely correct and everyone else is wrong, it’s really hard for people to even speak to each other. If you think I’m wrong, go home for Thanksgiving or…

One of the great benefits of brainwave entrainment meditation is that it is one of the only things that has been shown to actually facilitate and speed up the process of moving stably into higher developmental levels. I love it that we can now watch exactly what happens in the brain when someone is practicing…

Recently, my wife Pam and I were at a conference focused on where contemplative wisdom and technology intersect. It was a very interesting, extraordinary experience. One of the remarkable things that went on was hearing from a number of MIT-, Harvard-, and Brown University-trained neuroscientists talk about meditation and neuroscience. As I listened, it became…
