Kelly Howell - Brain Sync

debyemm said Aug 20, 2008, 10:16 PM:

Before I knew about Holosync, I started with Kelly Howell's Brain Sync products. Kelly has been making Brain Wave therapy programs for 20 years. Here's the link to her website - http://www.brainsync.com/pilot.asp

My favorite with her is The Secret Universal Mind meditation which is designed to be listened to while falling asleep. It has both audio and below audio embedded affirmations based upon the works of U S Anderson, who was a mystic. This CD uses Delta and Theta. Often, I do Holosync in the bath to give my brain a cleansing shower and then fall asleep to this. She recommends 6 weeks of listening and I believe the first time I did that a year ago, I did get noticeable though hard to define results.

I really like her Walking Meditation, truly I hit “highs” with that, that I do not, with anything else I have tried listening to while I walk. This utilizes Beta and Gamma.

I have used her Brain Power at the beginning of my work day and find the day unfolds more efficiently when I do but I'm not regular with it, because it works best if I start work before the others in my home awaken and that has not been the way it is lately. I've been staying up into the night too often (blame Gaia in large part for that) and sleeping later. This CD uses a balance of Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma & Theta.

I'm less enthuiastic about Slim Naturally, though I think it would be good for people who's over eating is emotionally induced. This uses Theta.

She has other meditation and targeted focus CDs which I assume would be very good. She has a very pleasant voice on those that have audio affirmations.

Hi Deborah:

Thanks for posting this information here - will have to take some time to explore it further.

Just noting that she does use binaurals in her CD's, I would like to make one caution recommendation, which both Bill Harris and Paul Scheele (Learning Strategies) have mentioned in their materials, and that is to be careful not to use two different brain entrainment CD's too close together - a separation of at least 20 to 30 minutes has been recommended by them. Apparently, unless you're immediately entering into the same level of entrainment, it can make the brain cranky - headaches, fogginess, etc. I would think this would be especially true with Holosync, as the entrainment isn't just being used to bring you into a certain level to make the affirmations go in better, but also to push the brain somewhat, as well.

Cheers!

Gem,

I did switch at least today, my Holosync to early morning. Did the Kelly Howell at bedtime. And I haven't mentioned this but do have a couple of Paul Scheele's because of an offer that came through Centerpointe.

I have some difficulty with resistance to Paul's voice. I got the Ideal Weight paraliminal just before starting the new diet and really I want to become intuitively a good weight and never diet again. I was trying that one before waking because it is only 20 mins but tonight I did that one in the bath. I can get beyond his voice but when I come back up out of it at the end, find it irritating me again.

I am glad to be here for some support from a smaller, Gaian group, which somehow just feels more like home to me.

Hi Deborah,

I am really interested in this Secret Universal Mind Meditation.

I am a confirmed and committed user of HS. I am on AW4 CD#4. But my prosperity consciousness leaves something to be desired. And where that shows up is in my finances, and career choice.

So there's a lot I'd like to improve on. And I am wondering if this meditation cd by Kelly Howell would help me in that area, i.e. helping me change some of my deep seated beliefs that are creating lack in my like on a financial level and work related level.

How has the Secret Universal Mind Meditation helped you so far? Do you believe that it is doing for you what it is claimed it will do?

Thank you,
Larry

Ok, let me say a little more about what I am asking. I am looking at Kelly Howell's “The Secret Universal Mind Meditation CD.” Here's what the website says about it:

<< The Secret Universal Mind Meditation

Increase your attracting force
Accelerate manifestation
Attract what you need and desire

The Secret imparts the sacred truths spiritual masters have taught for millennia. The secret is real and powerful. It starts by changing your belief system, slowly, subtly and gently while you sleep. As you are lulled into blissful slumber, The Secret is whispered into your ears–first audibly, and then just below the level of consciousness.

Over days and weeks to come, your conscious and your subconscious mind will accept The Secret as true. Without knowing how or why, everything you need and desire will come to you through communing with the Universal Mind. Over the last half century, Science is proving the existence of the Universal Mind, and now The Secret is yours to use. When you know and accept the secret, you have the secret to everything: unlimited health, abundance, success and joy.

With this program you will overcome limiting, outmoded beliefs that have hindered your ability to create the life you've always wanted. While theta and delta waves gently lull you to sleep, The Secret meditation re-programs your mind with new knowledge and beliefs that unleash your power to create a new reality -a reality that fulfills your deepest needs and desires.

Through nightly listening, your subconscious will accept the information it receives as true. When this happens, what you need and desire comes to you. And there's nothing you need to do except relax and listen. If you fall asleep while listening, that's even better; the messages are still absorbed into your subconscious. The results are profound. >>

Now, if I am looking at the way my life shows up as a reflection of my core beliefs, then I would have to say this. I have core beliefs that say that I will never be able to do what I really want to do; that I will never have what I really want to have; that, I can't have or don't deserve to have what I want or need; that life is constantly a struggle for survival; that somehow, I don't deserve better or that what I want for myself isn't important and I should just accept what I have, etc ad infinitum. Uhggh!!!!!!!!!!

I want to change this and I have been trying to consciously for some time now but with little lasting or consistent success. I am looking to this CD to help me change those beliefs that are out of or below my conscious awareness.

Am I just seeking another magic pill or is it reasonable to expect or at least hope that this technology can and will over time help me make some fundemental changes in my prosperity consciousness?

All thoughts are welcome.

Hi Larry,

I don't know anything about that CD or that program in particular, so I can't say anything about its effectiveness.

My take on the Secret (the movie), is that it overexaggerates what is possible through intention, to the extent that it does become magical and disconnected from reality.

That is not to say that intention isn't important! I think a lot of people underestimate the importance of intention, and how your habitual thinking affects you. Having a strong clear intention about what you want to achieve, combined with taking action, are the two building blocks to reaching your goals, IMO.

There can be lots of things that prevent us from focusing on what we want (as opposed to focusing on what we don't want…), and that prevent us from taking action. Usually shadow and past wounds can make us focus on what we don't want, and make us cling to old thought patterns about how we won't achieve what we want, etc. So Holosync can be a really good tool here since it tends to heal old wounds, and over time enables us to have a really clear intention that focuses on what we want, and not on what we don't want.

So my best advice to you is to stick with Holosync, because it really does help. Personally I've found that doing therapy simultaneously (Gestalt therapy in my case), has been very beneficial.

And if you feel drawn to the Brain Sync CD, then why not check it out? It may give you an extra boost in this area. Just make sure you stick with Holosync so that you get the long term structural changes in your brain.

Larry,

Thank you for alerting me that you had posted here because I do not get here as often as I would like and so a reply from me might have been a while in coming otherwise. I replied to you privately but thought I should put something here as well. I am a believer in the value of Kelly Howell's The Secret - Universal Mind Meditation (I would note that there is a #2 version but I like the original best). It is NOT based on Rhonda Byrne's The Secret work but on the work of an American mystic - Uell S Andersen (you can learn more about him here - http://uellandersen.wwwhubs.com/).

Anyway, I certainly put Holosync primary in my life now that I have started the program, I am committed to it. I think of Holosync as giving my mind a shower to cleanse it of the stuff that comes up for review or as a prep for some insight that manages to come through while doing the listening (I am only in Level 1).

Kelly Howell's CDs are inexpensive, and this one is the best, in my opinion, for what you state here, that you are looking for. It will place into your mind some very good affirmations, after having cleansed it with your Holosync work, there should be less resistance and competition from negative or rogue beliefs.

Pele is accurate when he says that there are no “quick” fixes and that The Secret in particular, may misled some into thinking there are. Also, even if one has some great, quick success, which I have had at times and I'm sure others have as well, if your overall environment and personal vibration are not in “that place” yet, then the manifestation won't last, will be lessened, will diminish or even “explode” or otherwise backfire before it is all said and done.

So many people are always in a hurry for relief from unpleasant circumstances and so, turn to metaphysics (which this CD employs that kind of thinking) but don't want to do the personal development work with their thinking, beliefs, attitudes, past experiences (the shadow work that Pele mentions). Yet, there is no long term substitute for undertaking such, as regards the overall quality of improvement and the desirable, longer “lasting effect” of that.

I am a believer in the value of Holosync (it is definitely doing something in there, not the least of which is the increased sense of calm and confidence I feel in general). Still, Kelly's CD is a good one for the kind of work you indicate that you would like to do on yourself. I would not call this a magic pill but still, it is my personal belief that that this technology can, and will, over time - help you make some fundamental changes in your prosperity consciousness.

Wishing you always, only the best-
Deborah

Thanks Deborah and Pelle,

I do a lot of intense personal growth work and have been for some time. I have been using Holosync since 2002. I am a member of Unity and do very difficult Shadow Work in a men's group that I have belonged to for over a year that is modeled from the work that is done by men associated with the Mankind Project.

I believe that there are still some deep seated unconscious beliefs that are still affecting my ability to manifest more financial prosperity consistently and I am working on trying to bring those to light through information I am getting from Abraham Hicks, Colin Tipping's “Radical Manifestation,” and Maria Nemeth, Phd's “The Energy of Money.”

I understand that there are no quick fixes of course. However, for what I can't access consciously and to give the Holosync a boost, I was attracted to what you, Deborah, said about the Universal Mind Meditation.

I am hoping that this will help to change some of those unconscious beliefs that are out of my conscious reach right now so as to help to raise my vibrational level over time. In concert with Holosync and everything else, then speed up the evolutionary process a bit.

I went ahead and ordered the CD by Kelly. I will report here later what my experience is.

Also to note, I think I stated somewhere earlier that I am on Awakening Level 4 CD # 4. I started that CD exactly 99 days ago and out of the 99 days, I have listened to it 80 days. I have had to back off at times due to the overwhelm. Even after 80 plus hours of listening (some days I listened more than once), I am still experiencing it being quite strong. I am excited about starting the Purification levels soon but based on where I seem to be now, I expect that I will have to listen to this last AW4 CD through the end of the year unless something shifts soon.

Holosync has so far been a challenge for me with the overwhelm but my deep inner knowing has kept me sticking to it. I purchased the entire program quite a while back. I can't remember exactly but I know for a fact that it has done for me what nothing else has ever done and believe me when I say, I have tried it all.

I am able to deal with the overwhelm much better now, amazingly well compared to a couple years ago. But I have had to give myself a day or two break here and there on this 4th CD in the last Awakening Level. It has been quite strong for me.

One thing that I have never experienced to date is the bliss that some folks say they experience while listening. I am looking forward to the day that I experience that hopefully with the Purification and/or Flowering levels. And I do experience witnessing but not in a profound way. I think that for me, the witnessing has come more in the form of being able to say, “yes, that is overwhelm that I am experiencing” such as if I feel depressed. And rather than “being depressed” I can just say that I am experiencing myself having feelings that I would normally experience as depression but not be that….if that makes sense.

Well, enough for now….

Hi Larry:

Awakening 4, CD4 has tended to be a bit of a challenge for many Holosyncers, and it is not unusual for people to stay with it for two, three or more months beyond the time suggested (which in the booklet, if I remember correctly, says anywhere from 8 weeks to six months).

It is probably best to do as you have done - miss a day here and there to get past any overwhelm. From remembering my own experience, I didn't think I'd ever get past it - and then one day it just didn't have any more “umph!” to it, and I hung in there for another week, looking for overwhelm, and there was none. Then I knew it was time to move forward.

I think sometimes we get caught up in checking to see if we are being overwhelmed. We tend to notice it more when we are being vigilant to see if it is still there. I think the same thing also applies to experiencing bliss with Holosync - if we are being so observant and waiting in anticipation, we are probably not just “allowing” things to flow. I noticed this for myself regards the bliss - I had lots of bliss during the earlier levels, but found a bit of a dry spell once entering into Purification. Then one day I just said, to heck with it - I will get it when it is ready to come. That is when I had one of the most profound bliss states that I had experienced up to then.

Anyways, just a few thoughts I'd like to share, for whatever they're worth.

Be well!
Gem

Hi Gem,

I don't know if you remember me but we communicated first through the Yuku forum and I believe it was you…that invited me here….and I thank you.

Since this thread is really about the Brain Sync, I am going to send you a PM with a question/response to your post. I feel I accidently hijacked the thread with my last post talking about my AW4 experience too much. It wasn't my intention but just sort of worked out that way and was tied to my query about the Brain Sync.

I just went to http://www.amazon.com and found out that you can purchase Kelly Howell's Brain Sync CDs there for a lot less. The Universal Mind Medtiation is $14.95 from her site but at Amazon it it $10.17. So if you purchase at least $25 worth of stuff and use Super Saver Shipping, you save a few dollars and probably get your shipment faster.

I did buy The Secret Universal Mind Meditation. I listened to it over 81 days. I can’t say that I have noticed anything in particular. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Have I given it long enough? How do I judge whether or not it is making a difference. I have nothing to with which to guage it.
