Affirmations and Holosync

I've been holosyncing since May, quite regularly, and by that I mean I think an average of about 5 times a week.

I decided to order the next  2 levels, because I thought I would go on, even though I didn't feel ready yet.  Then all of a sudden I felt ready.

Then I got myself into a tizzy over the affirmations!  I got panicked that they would send it without the affirmations, but I called, and no they don't, if you've said you plan to put them on. They just hold it.

Anyway  - its been a really interesting process.  The sample affirmations they sent didn't feel “right” for me, although I liked some of them.  I've always had good luck with affirmations in the past, just writing them out.  So it seemed important.  My daughter suggested that I consider some Buddhist sutras. Then I thought maybe I would look at Bill Harris “life principles”, which I thought were terrific.  It was like writing a term paper and trying to narrow my subject.

Then I thought that I would just ask myself - what do I want in terms of Body, Mind, Spirit, and emotional relationships, in the simplest possible, and broadest terms, and wrote some statements out.

Then I started a process of just writing down words that have been meaningful to me.  The upshot is that  I still don't have an affirmation script done, but I'm having fun with it now, and think I will be able to start the culling process fairly soon.

I was just curious if others have found this process to be one of upheaval as well, and how you went about making your selections.

Hi Lynn

Sorry to take so long to reply but I couldn't remember where I saw this;

http://synonymforlight.gaia.com/blog/2008/8/how_would_you_define_success

It is a blog post regarding affirmations by another Holosync user, I remember thinking it was a great post at the time and hope you find it useful.

Best Wishes,

Re: Affirmations and Holosync

Hi,

I've been using for over a year - and the big hold up to the next level was, actually, recording the affirmations!!  I finally went ahead and bought level two and I have not done the recording, yet.  I know EXACTLY what you mean about the process of trying to get five minutes worth of affirmations done.  I wonder if this isn't a perfectionist thing - that holds us back because we don't think it will be “PERFECT.”  I have mine all written down - taken from here and there, and created and synthesized some original stuff - three pages worth - but I haven't even read it aloud!

I did read what the other link in this thread went to - the woman who did her affirmations.  However, I thought those were way too nebulous for me.  Mine are involved in the every day stuff - working out, choosing great food - choosing positive thinking and view points, parenting, etc…

I want to get this done this week - get the affirmations and start the next level.  I feel like it will open a whole new area for me.

Cheers,

I just went ahead into Level One a little early last Sat.  I was going to do the Awakening Prologue for a full 4 mos but have made it through a full 3 mos instead.  I'm not really in a hurry.  I just got a second mailing from Centerpointe with a message, like, “we can't believe you didn't order from our previous mailing”.  I'm not pre-ordering the “big deal”.  If I'm going to be in Level 1 for up to 8+ mos, I'm just going to order them one at a time.  But having received it, I just don't have the willpower to put it on a self for another month.  I think knowing MY affirmations are in there is my biggest motivation for going forward.

I got the info to do the affirmations and since I've been praticing the Science of Mind for 30+ years and regularly write my own spiritual mind treatments (as my needs dictate) which do utilize affirmations within the format, I found ready made affirmations with little changes needed for all aspects of my life - health, abundance, business flow, relationships, etc - already written for me.

I still had a little bit of overlap (meaning I had to start over from the beginning again) to cover a full 5 mins.  Going into it, I just wasn't sure I could fit them all in (and should have timed myself in advance because I should have slowed down a bit, if I had known I had extra time). 

I'm only just beginning the 30 min Dive for Level 1.  I really did feel ready to move on.  I seemed to meet all the criteria -

[1]  any physical, mental, or emotional upheavels seemed to have settled down

[2]  I am able to remain conscious for the whole hour

[3]  the soundtracks don't seem as powerful or have the same impact

My first session with the “new” Dive, I was surprised at how disjointed the thoughts that surfaced were.  It was like I couldn't complete a thought or couldn't retrieve what I had just been thinking about.

I sort of miss the chimes being louder and the rain sounds less like it's splattering on tiles but I'm getting used to those things well enough.

I'm excited about the “sleeping” disk - “floating”.

I'm still having a bit of trouble working this in at any time beyond my bath but that said, I actually managed to get a 7-7:30am session this morning, before my household got up.  I don't get to bed early enough and my husband often beats me awake and expects me to be up and about (he's not a meditator).

Given the instructions about how passive this is and the fact that tech support really didn't have a problem with me being in the bath - even though Gemstar and I both thought about energy work like Qigong recommending against it, this seems more like mental / emotional work to me, than the physical energy work of Qigong and I'm not feeling depleted (if I'm tired, I can point at 3 or 4 to 6 hrs of sleep on average and know where my problem really lies, I suspect). 

Anyway, I've decided, I'd rather do it consistently 6-7 days a week, no matter how I manage it, than miss doing it.  I'm glad for a couple of weeks of shorter 30 min sessions going into the new level.  I got complaints about staying in the bath too long and so, I have to pick my times now, when I know I won't monopolize it from others in my family.

My least favorite is when I have to take it to bed with me.  I don't think I get as much from it, when I go to sleep listening, so I really try to avoid that possibility, but will resort to it, if I have no other opportunity for whatever reason my overfull life gives me.
