Read MoreMake Room for New Thoughts: Meditation and Creative Thinking Techniques
With so many thoughts begging for your attention each day, it’s hard to believe that most of them are the same ones you had yesterday. Actually, many psychologists who have studied the thought processes associated with our thinking patterns would agree that, on average, 90% of the thoughts that we become aware of throughout the day…
Read MoreMeditate Like a Rock: The Way to Spiritual Maturity
I was meditating the other day and thinking about the four noble truths of Buddhism: 1) Life is suffering. 2) We suffer because we’re attached. 3) The cessation of suffering is attainable. 4) The way out of the suffering, the path, includes practice. I went over this in my heart, in my mind, in my experience,…
Read MoreUnder Intense Stress? Do a Brainwave Entrainment Meditation Marathon
It’s the last day of a five-week Integral Recovery intensive and I feel really good about it. There was a lot of healing, a lot of practice, and people are at a different place from where they started. We did a lot of work: We meditated an hour every morning and 40 minutes every evening. Then we…
Read MoreTechnological Grace: Just When We Needed You Most
While I was meditating today, I was thinking about all the breakthroughs people are having doing this practice of using brain entrainment and biofield technology while meditating. If you could sit where I sit, hear, and read all of the testimonials from people that are using the iAwake technology—from our beta testers, from the students…
Read MoreVision Questing in the Postmodern World: Now More Important Than Ever
Vision questing is a very personal topic for me; I have vision quested for years and also developed wilderness therapy programs that put hundreds of people out on vision quests. I’m talking about the traditional type of vision quest here, in which the individual goes into the wilderness and finds a spot. When we were helping…
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 MoreUnderstanding the Effects of Biofield Technology on Our Meditation Practice
Biofield technology is an important aspect of what the Profound Meditation Program 3.0 offers, complemented by its uniquely powerful brainwave entrainment technology. Last week, I described how PMP 3.0’s brainwave entrainment technology differs from traditional brainwave entrainment, and this week, I’d like to talk about what biofield technology is and how we use it. In essence, our biofield technology…
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 MoreThe Unique Brainwave Entrainment Technology of the Profound Meditation Program 3.0
Brainwave entrainment represents a way of using technology to take our meditation and our spiritual practices into territory that has previously been very difficult, if not impossible, for us to venture into. My inspiration for creating the Profound Meditation Program 3.0 was not about just adding binaural beats or isochronic tones to music, using conventional audio entrainment methods to create…
Read MoreA Poem by John Dupuy: Before the Stillness
Before the stillness the storm. Before peace the war. Before rebirth the destruction and the fire. Before forgiveness the pain of the violated. Before God the despair of the soul that is lost and has forgotten. Before dawn the darkness. Before awakening the dreams. The dreamer awakes to the source, is the source, the maker…
Read MorePracticing Meditation to Wake Up and Find the Meaning of Life
I have kept up my meditation practice for these past seven and a half years first of all because, neurologically, I didn’t want to slip back into life-threatening depression. But also, I just didn’t want to live my life according to my own ego conditioning, my traumas, and my often false stories about the reality…
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 MoreFacing the Depths in Our Meditation Practice: Here Be Lions
Last Sunday, I was sitting doing my meditation, and I noticed how my ego really wanted to avoid going deep. There was a strong signal: No, no, no. Let’s stay on top. Let’s think about anything rather than surrendering into the depths. I’ve noticed the same thing with my students and clients, that oftentimes there’s a…
Read MoreEnergy Alchemy: Digital Energy Medicine Meets Bio-Energetic Entrainment
iAwake Technologies’ new Energy Alchemy Series consists of three different tracks: Anahata, Meditative Ocean, and WorldSpirit Remixed. What each of these have in common is that they all include both the “Energy of the Golden Mean”, and the “white energy band, also known as “white light.” I explained briefly about these energy bands in my recent blog “Introducing iAwake’s…
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 MoreWhy Do We Stay With Our Meditation Practice? The Dialogue Continues
John: We left off last week’s discussion with Zen practitioner and psychotherapist Alexander Leuthold just after Alexander remarked, “One point is how we come to do a meditative practice, but the other point, which has become more interesting to me in recent years, is the question, why do we stay with the practice? Alexander: Yes, people…
