Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Paraliminals, Paraliminal Resets, Paraliminal Walkabouts, Natural Brilliance, Sonic Access Cannot concentrate

Hi,
I just got the Ultimate Self library. The CD's require me to follow instructions and to actively participate in the sessions - but after 3rd listening My mind just switches off, I catch myself thinking about other things instead of attending to the tasks. This is getting annoying.

I am on Holosync 3rd year now - With Holosync I do not need to concentrate on anything, just to have the headphones on. Is it possible that the Paraliminals are not for me?

Thanks
Annie

Annie, quite simply, don't beat yourself up. Even the most experienced meditators find their minds wandering at one time or another. This is where the concept of not grasping comes in. When you eventually "catch" your mind wandering - simply acknowledge it (without getting caught up in what you are thinking about) and then let it go. By getting annoyed, you are actually feeding more and more of your internal resources into a state that takes you further away from your goal. So relax, enjoy the session, gently acknowledge when your mind wanders and let it go. When I first started, I found I had to do this quite a bit, but,like developing a new habit - it does get easier as you do it more and more. Also keep in mind that even when your mind wanders, you are still benefiting from listening to the paraliminals.

Hello Annie:

I agree with the advice given by KevCT, and I'd just like to add a few things to it.

Once you've clarified your purpose for listening (according to the directions in the booklets), all you really need to do is be an attentive listener/participant for about 4 minutes, and after that, regardless where your mind wanders to, the Paraliminals will guide your "inner mind" where it needs to go. Sometimes I have found my mind wandering, but paying closer attention, I've found what it is doing is showing me things I need to pay attention to with regard to whatever CD I'm listening to - much the same way that the Holosync brings up stuff out of the sub-conscious for us to look at.

I have found using the "attention to breath" meditation in conjunction particularly with the Holosync, but also during the deeper session part in the Paraliminals where Paul is speaking two separate parts, has been extremely helpful - it keeps me focused enough that I "hear" both parts, not necessarily following either, knowing that the re-framing process is still going on under that mind flow. If my mind wanders, and I catch it, I just release the thought and move back to observing my breath. Like KevCT says, don't beat yourself up about getting off track - that's defeating the purpose of the listening session.

A third thing to note also, and Bill Harris approaches this in his Holosync materials, is that our current programming has been put in place to "protect us", and it will do almost anything to keep us in the current state, including throwing us off track when we attempt to reprogram for something better. It's sometimes like an unruly child, and since you're the adult in this situation, you simply let the child know that it's loved, but now it's time for it to learn new things, and it's time for it to pay attention to what you're showing it.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Thank you Kev and Unis,your comments are very helpful and eye opening. Much appreciated. What you say makes sense indeed.

The truth is that my 24 year old son uses the Cds too, and he started having the same problems I do - his mind wonders off. He is having exams this week and had two last week, so as soon as we got the CD's he started with Memory supercharger at night and Personal Genius in the morning. He does them every day (4th week).

I have to say something here - he had a very severe brain injury 5 years ago as a result of sporting accident. He has recovered extremely well - but his damages are in memory and information processing speed +comprehension. He is very academically oriented though - he studies Chemical engineering at the moment, but no matter how hard he works the results are very poor. His memory lets him down...the Holosync saved his life - significantly reduced his anger, aggression and depression, his tiredness, need for sleep (he gets up every morning at 4-5 am) also the extra CD for learning is his best friend, even at the exams he is allowed to use them: without that one he could not concentrate longer than 30 minutes without having a completely exhausted brain. With that CD he can study all day.

Now, the reason I bought The Ultimate You was - to improve his memory further, to teach him to use his mind to heal his brain from remaining blood cloths (I am aware of the healing power of the mind ones we learn to use it properly), also I hoped his self esteem and some odd behavior patterns could be corrected with this program. he was a very popular, happy young man before the accident and suddenly lost all his friends, and is very lonely and feels his life lost meaning on all levels. I am very worried, he attempted suicide just before we got the Ultimate you library.

I also bought Spring Forest Q.G in hope he can learn ways of self healing. His only options are these "alternative" ones.

Any further suggestions on what to use in how? Any experiences with Perfect Health? How does that one work? God, I hope someone can give us more direction! I was about to send the Ultimate You back and try something more effective, but I have changed my mind now.

Thanks
Annie

Dear Annie:

Thanks for sharing more information, as it also gives us the opportunity to help you further.

Definitely use the "Perfect Health" CD for healing - especially for your son, as this will also assist with what you are already doing for the brain injury. Results are not immediate, generally, however, over time, as with the Holosync, you should see a marked improvement. New History Generator will also assist in creating new neuro-pathways, if you use this as a "focus" at the beginning of the CD. Then just let the mind do it's own natural healing from there. It isn't necessary to really keep focused on either of the listening tracks - the mind will sort through and use what it needs once the "focus" of the session is stated.

Our bodies have a natural healing bio-rythym - not all parts heal at the same time, or at the same rate. Some areas require more work than others, as well. However, being consistent and persistent in re-programming in positive, life affirming stuff will provide lasting healing over time. Using both these programs will assist in speeding up the process. Just be patient with the healing part - it will come, and much sooner now you're using these CD's.

"Self-Esteem SuperCharger" is excellent as well - it is very life-affirming, and I'm sure your son would benefit from using it. It reprograms the negative self-talk we give ourselves - suggested "focus" would be to "feel good about my ability to think clearly" as a starting point.

Don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations of the Paraliminals, and read through the CD booklets that come with them because they really provide a lot of good information on how these can be used. You're working with a super-charged duo of these CD's plus the regular Holosync, and I think it's just superbly grand that you've grasped the importance of how they can be used synergistically to heal your son, and for your own health benefits as well.

Please do keep us posted on your results, or if you need further help.

Cheers!
Unis

Thank you so much Unis for taking your time to talk to me, you probably do not even realise how much you have helped us both with your suggestions! I have hope again - and I am glad I have not returned the Ultimate you yet. I believe the problem with this et os CDs is that the guarantee is for a month only, so people think the results must be quick - if they are not happening fast the program does not work for them. They should state (like Holosync does) that patience and time will lead people "there"...

Anyway, I am forewer thankful to you,you gave new hope to me and to a young man who has almost given up...this forum is so very helpful! I am glad I came here for help.
God bless
Annie

yes, cheers Unis for a very well written and inspiring response and cheers to you Annie for keeping your chin up. God bless you and your son and please post more as you two progress. - Kevin

The Paraliminals are designed to switch you off consciously while listening. The non-conscious mind should be working on the issue. It will often feel like you're taking a nap.

So decide why you want to listen to a Paraliminal before you start and then tell yourself, while listening I'm going to take a short nap and I know inner mind is working on this for me.

It's interesting what you are saying Alex - my daughter Andrea started listening to Personal Genius every morning and she said as soon as Paul started talking she went to a non conscious state which she found "beautiful" and she loved her sessions. She would "wake" up when Paul started counting from 1 to 5...now I understand that one as well. What a helpful forum! Thanks everyone!

My son is off all the CDs at the moment, I suggested him to wait until the exams are over. he is on Holosync only. When he started using the CDs (Personal Genius in the morning and Memory Supercharger after studying during the day) he became restless and very depressed for some weird reason (maybe too much activity for his injured brain)so I suggested him to stop and try again during the school holiday. I am a psychologist, so I am capable to monitor his behavior and mood changes - I have learned during last 3 years to recognise signs of exhausted brain. I also know when he changes Holosync levels: he gets very agitated, fatiqued and depressed when he starts a new level. The support team taught me to deal with these problems constructively. Now we are facing new problems as he started Paul's Paraliminals. I try to figure out whether he can listen to them safely.

I am also listening to some Paraliminals and I too had some very bad days - extreme mood changes (unusual for me) and weird dreams. Is that normal and what should we do in times like this?

I bought the CDs because I understand the scientific background behind them, I also understand how the subconscious mind works. I have recognised that Paul uses some "psychotherapies" (cognitive behavioral, Gestalt, Hypnosis) in a new, much more powerful way than psychologists would, but I also realise that every person has a history of abuse, hurts, dissapointments, injuries, health problems, and the genetics play a big role too in effectiveness of these CDs. AS I was not trained at the university to understand this new mind technonogy, I have to learn from people like you who have experience with Paraliminals. Naturally, I am anxious and careful, because I do not understand what is going on in the mind when Paul starts talking - I do not understand how the brain responds and whether there are some health risks possible.I want to help my kids but I am anxious of hurting them with things I do not quite understand.

"also the extra CD for learning is his best friend, even at the exams he is allowed to use them: without that one he could not concentrate longer than 30 minutes without having a completely exhausted brain. With that CD he can study all day."
What is the name of that CD? Is it a Holosync or Paraliminal CD?
