Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Spring Forest Qigong Brainwave Generator

Hi All,

I have found level one active exercises helpful, but I was wondering if listening to binaural tones helpful in getting/maintaining the correct meditative state?

I know with the active exercises, at least concentrating on the breathing and the movements kept me sort of focused on the present, but I tend to have a very noisy mind, constantly thinking about lots of distracting things, and this is very distracting with the meditative/silent exercises.

I have downloaded the brainwave generator and have made some tapes that seem to put me in the correct state, especially "the awakened mind" preset, but Master Lin recommended not combining various energy techniques with SFQ. I don't know if the brainwave generator applies.

I've studied hundreds of meditation techniques, both traditional and the "electronically assisted" types, and while the latter can be interesting, I keep going back to the simpler, more traditional forms, such as zazen[1] and vipassana[2].

Listening to external aural stimuli can help alter your brainwave frequency, but at some point you have to go beyond the dependence on them and develop your own innate skills so that you can get into state anytime anywhere under any conditions. Tapes and CDs cannot meditate for you. You have to do the real work.

The qigong state is the aim of this meditation and it is the state of emptiness. It is the no-mind state of relaxed concentration with no thoughts. It is a quantum step closer to pure consciousness.

The difficulty is that the undisciplined mind cannot keep out the stray random thoughts for very long. When you develop your power to concentrate and can hold the empty mind for longer periods, then you become fully present with the exercises and the meditation. Acquiring this skill pays off immensely. You will derive much more benefit from the exercises than if you constantly allow your mind to wander.

Thoughts intrude upon the mind because of the attachments of the ego. Control the ego by releasing attachments. The no-mind state allows you to be more intuitively receptive, go deeper within your core, merge with the universe, and eventually go beyond duality into Oneness with all that is. This is enlightenment, the goal of spiritual seekers.

Aloha Dsss27,

Whether a binaural beat recording or a Holosync program, wait to listen to them until a half hour after or before doing your Spring Forest Qigong.

Much Love, Shawn

I take it that the 30 minute rule also applies to the Paraliminals audios.

Aloha,

Yep, and Paul even recomemends waiting 20 minutes in between individual paraliminal sessions too.

Much Love, Shawn
