hypertext,
The QiGong course is a couple hundred dollars and it took me about a week to get good at it. The Higher Balance Foundation set is about $80 and I had it mastered in about 5 meditations, or 3-4 days. My only other exposure to meditation was Zen, Hinduism and Holosync.
If you are apprehensive about the cost, if you compare the cost of all meditation packages you'll find that the Higherbalance at $80 is the cheapest of all routes and has a lifetime money back guarantee. Silva, Holosync and everything at LS also has a money back guarentee so why not try everything and return what you don't like?
I honestly didn't look at the price so much as I looked at how long you have to do it a day to get the results I wanted. I don't have the time to sit and meditate or do exercises for an hour at a time. I just don't have the time and inthe future when I decide to have kids, I'll have even less time. That's why I've gravitated toward techniques that can be done in 20 minutes or so a day. I know you've heard you can't get results in that little time a day but we've also heard from "experts" that Photoreading doesn't work and we all know here that that's just a lie.
I've even meditated for 10 minutes and gotten the same benefits that I get when I do it for 20 minutes. David Lucas Berg who sells that Perfect Pitch course in all the music magazines said in his course that you should only practice ear training for 10 minutes a day because after that it doesn't really matter. His reasoning was that if you take a shower for 10 minutes a day or 10 hours the result is the same. Once you're clean, you're CLEAN. You can't get more clean. I've noticed the same thing is true with the HB foudation meditation. Your energy body is like a sponge and once you're filled with energy and you're at that tonal, that vibration, that frequency- you can't get MORE there. You're there! Of course over time you can absorb more and more energy (that's the point) but even at that you get better and better at it and that means faster and faster so you never have to increase the time you spend doing it. I have a life, I have stuff to do so that's more the reason why I've chosen to do what I've chosen to do.
If I was retired you'd bet my sweat *** I'd do Holosync, get a massage, get a QIGong treatment, light up my chakras, stand on my head, sit and meditate for hours just because I had the time.
