The Holosync Meditation Program
is part of a new revolution in neuroscience. Using technology
to produce the brain state of Zen Buddhist monks, this neurotechnology
seems able to deliver what it promises.
How to get the
Mind of a Zen Buddhist Monk
It has been 8 weeks since I started Bill Harris’ Holosync
Awakening Prologue. And I must say that I have been pleasantly
surprised by the results. I was not looking for gut-wrenching
changes in my personality. After all I am, on the whole, quite
even in temperament. Like most folks, I am happy, confident
and secure most of the time.
What attracted me to Bill Harris’ program initially was the
fact that his promises did not carry the usual sales pitch.
He did not promise that all your dreams would materialize
with the use of his product. Nor did he say that you would
become infinitely wealthy or successful or that all your desires
would be made manifest. What he did promise was that
a) you would become more happy, more tranquil;
b) you would improve your brain power—increase in learning
ability, memory, intuition, creativity and concentration;
c) you would experience remarkable improvement in spiritual
and emotional health;
d) you would ( if you follow through with the 12 levels of
the program until the end) develop the brain state of a Zen
Buddhist monk.
It was this last promise—that I can have the mind and brain
state of a Zen Buddhist monk-- that really intrigued me. So
I ordered the initial program— the
Awakening Prologue online.
So far, 8 weeks into the program ( meditating 1 hour a day
with Holosync), I have noticed
a)a remarkable ability on my part to focus on my work( writing),
b)increased creativity and productivity,
c)a deep, deep sense of happiness that wells up several times
during the course of the day.
But what has been for me the most profound change is the ease
with which I seem to enter a meta-consciousness, an “other”
me looking at myself and all that happens to me in a detached,
witnessing manner. It’s as though I am able to enter an altered
state that prevents me from judging or reacting with blind
emotions. I am watching my response( whether it be joy, anger,
annoyance) as though it were someone else’s , another reality,
not mine. And the benefit of this detachment is the ability
not to be aroused unnecessarily by circumstance.
Well, you are probably wondering, what is Holosync
and how does it work?
In its simplest form, Holosync
is meditation through neurotechnology. It is based on the
work of Dr. Gerald Oster whose research into the effects of
sound waves on brain wave patterns led to his use of sound
to create desired electrical patterns in the brain, including
those of a Zen Buddhist monk who has been meditating for over
20 years. Studies have shown that these monks have unusually
balanced and synchronized whole brains, developed through
years of focusing by repeating a prayer or mantra. The repetitive
practice of meditation has created new neural pathways in
their brains allowing them to experience the ineffable sense
of oneness and connectedness so typical of spiritual experiences.
Instead of merely duplicating these brain wave patterns, Harris
chose to view the entire Holosync
meditation process as evolutionary which means that the brain
is pushed by progressively stronger stimulus to develop new
structures and new thresholds. And it is this search for stronger
stimulus that led Harris to the use of progressively lower
frequency carriers to push the brain to higher levels of organization
.
Using the analogy of a runner, Harris explains the uniqueness
of his meditation process in this way:
“Once the brain finished creating the pathways needed to handle
the first set of frequencies we originally gave it, evolution
would stop. We would be like a runner who could never increase
his run to two, three or more miles.
“In terms of the running analogy I’ve used, lowering the carrier
frequency is like adding more miles to your run. On the other
hand, the meditative brainwave pattern caused by the beat
frequency the brain creates in reconciling the Holosync
tones corresponds to how fast you run. Slowing the brain wave
from beta to alpha to theta to delta is like running increasingly
faster. By allowing us to run faster and farther, carrier
frequency allowed us to really push the brain to change.”
The technology behind Holosync
is part of a new revolution in neuroscience which sees brain
wave entrainment as a means to enhanced brain power, health
and longevity. Research now shows that the endorphins released
when the brain is exposed to alpha and theta binaural beat
patterns enhance many mental functions such as learning and
memory. A recent study by Dr. Vincent Giampapa M.D. revealed
that placing a listener in the various brain wave patterns
using Holosync
audio technology dramatically affects three hormones related
to longevity and well-being. He found the following changes
in levels of melatonin, DHEA and cortisol in 19 users of Holosync
listening 4 hours a day over a 3 day period:
a)Over 68% had increases in DHEA ( the hormone that acts as
a buffer against stress and aging) levels with an average
increase of 43.77%.
b)Cortisol, the stress hormone , was down an average of 46.47%,
with positive changes in 68% of the people.
c)Levels of melatonin, the hormone associated with restful
sleep, increased an average of 97.77% with positive changes
detected in over 73% of the participants.
The entire process of moving through the 12 levels of Holosync
would take 7 years. This is really quite encouraging considering
that a normal Buddhist monk would take 20 years or more of
intense meditation to arrive at this level. For me, the die
is cast. I am committed to the entire program; even the 7
year engagement is seductive because it tells me that this
is not a simple exercise in magic, but a lifelong commitment
to mind and spiritual development.
