Transformational Life Technology: The Chrysallis Project
John: Hello everyone! We have a special show today. It’s a real honor to have Eric Brown with us, who is working on the Chrysallis project, as the business manager or the… Eric: (Chuckles). Thanks, John. Good morning, everyone! If you were to put a title on me, it would be Business Development, as I’m in…
Read MoreEmotional Alchemy: Holding the Pain, Transmuting the Darkness
My contention is that if we really want to get in the evolutionary fast lane, we’ll dedicate one hour a day to our meditation practice. For most people, mornings are the best time—before the world gets going and our opportunity to sit quietly slips away. So many of us tend to make excuses and skip…
Read MoreUsing the Profound Meditation Program to Move Closer to Our Source
I was talking to a client the other day, and he said, “I lost my signal because I’m so far away from my source.” He was talking about his Wi-Fi source. I said, “That’s really deep.” He said, “Yeah, it is.” And we both wrote it down. If we lose our signal, our capacity to…
Read MoreHow a Daily Meditation Practice Gives Us Direction and Purpose
One of the really essential things that we need at a certain level of development, in order to balance our lives and get into the zone of our own actualization, is a sense of vocation, a sense of, “Oh, this is what I’m supposed to be doing in the world.” Like the old U.S. Army ad used…
Read MoreBreaking our Addictive Patterns with the Profound Meditation Program
When we meditate with the Profound Meditation Program, we are consciously engaged in the process of evolving and healing our brains in an integral and holistic way. Unfortunately, this type of healing technology has not been available until very recently, and many of us are suffering from neurological deficits and emotional wounding based on our past…
Read MoreHow to Transform Your Brain, Starting Right Now
I’d like to share two very simple but very profound and powerful practices that can help us to develop deeper self-love and acceptance, and deeper empathy. With these practices, we gain a sense of being attuned not only to others, but also to ourselves. In fact, we find that there’s a reciprocal relationship: the more we become…
Read MoreMeditation and the Butterfly Effect: Why What We Do Matters
I was thinking about our ambitions and our egos recently and how, as time goes by, as we struggle to do our inner work—our meditation, our contemplative practice, and our prayer work—the ego starts to shape itself into a functional, helpful form. Of course we know that the end purpose of all things is not…
Read MoreBrain Entrainment, Meditation, and… Tennis?
There are two kinds of religions: old-fashioned religion and what is now the emerging religion. Old-fashioned religion is a religion that involves a set of beliefs, or dogmas, that you buy into in order to be saved and in order to be part of the “inner group.” The new kind of religion that is emerging is…
Read MoreIntroducing iAwake’s Energy Alchemy Series: Biofield Tech Takes Center Stage
The inspiration for the Energy Alchemy Series is all about the biofield formulation. Using biofield technology in different ways helps us to connect with the deepest parts of ourselves and helps us to wake up. For me, the biofield technology itself has become a very beautiful, profound, invaluable support and friend in my meditations and in my daily…
Read MoreMeditation and the Physical Transformation of the Brain: Part III
One of the really important structural changes we see due to long-term meditation occurs in the middle prefrontal areas of the brain. In recent blogs, I have discussed what scientists are learning about the structural changes in the thalamus, the left prefrontal cortex, and the parietal lobe. Here I will discuss the findings regarding the…
Read MoreMeditation and the Physical Transformation of the Brain: Part II
In this series we will be looking at four key structures in our brains that change as a result of long-term meditation: the thalamus, the left prefrontal cortex, the parietal lobe, and the middle prefrontal areas. You can read about the implications of changes that occur in the thalamus in my previous blog Meditation and the…
Read MoreGo Deep, Get Dog: Contemplative Spiritual Practice
A number of years ago when I was working as a therapeutic wilderness guide, a friend of mine, Corey Alexander, told my group and me this story. He said he had been at a Lakota sacred ceremony and afterwards they traditionally have a meal. In the Lakota tradition, dogs are considered sacred food. So, as Corey…
Read MoreHow the Practice of Meditation Raises Your Stress Threshold
One of the things we know about binaural beats and the other technologies Eric Thompson has so brilliantly woven together in the Profound Meditation Program and iAwake’s other tracks is that with daily practice and prolonged use, in a very short time, we start becoming much more resilient and able to deal with stress. The stress threshold begins to raise and…
Read MoreVaporize Your Performance Anxiety
One of the most common emotional problems we experience revolves around performance anxiety—whether it involves a job interview, a difficult math test, creating a new relationship, or especially public speaking. Building on the seven important insights into obtaining emotional freedom that I shared with you in my last blog, this time, instead of theorizing about…
Read More7 Insights into Obtaining Profound Emotional Freedom
Insight #1: Every emotional experience, including anxiety, has two components: The story which seems to give rise to the emotional experience. The energy behind that experience, the stream of sensation accompanying it. We often get so caught up in the story that is attached to our emotions, that we unwittingly magnify the energy behind such experiences, and in reality…
Read MoreGetting into the Zone with Eric Thompson and Shawn Phillips
Eric: There’s a Canadian trainer by the name of Thomas Hawes who has developed a concept he calls zone minutes; he has found among the athletes he has worked with, that the more minutes they accrue of being in the zone—of being in that place where they’re totally relaxed and totally connected to everything that’s happening around…
Read MoreTaking a Universal Perspective and What We Can Do to Evolve
Why is the whole big picture—everything, the universe—part of our conversation? It’s because we’re evolving the human brain, which means we’re evolving consciousness. I don’t know of anything more important going on right now, because everything else flows from that. There’s not a problem in the world that I can think of offhand that is…
Read MoreEmptiness and Fullness by Bill Epperly
There are two essential capacities for awakening: emptiness and fullness. What I mean by emptiness is access to radical emptiness—abiding in the place where self can seemingly dissolve to nothing, where we are in the presence of nothing, and yet have the felt sense of tremendous presence that is pure potential. I want to contrast that with…
Read MoreUsing Our Minds to Change Our Brains
How can we, as meditators, use our attention to direct the flow of energy and information in our brains? In effect, how can we use our minds to change our brains? There are many different types of meditation. One person’s definition of meditation may differ from another’s. We can loosely say that one thing meditation has…
