Levels of Intuition: Downloading Information from the Field



www.healingmeditations.net


The ancient tradition of Chi Kung tells us that we are surrounded by a field of energy. This field of energy exists inside of us, all around us and is the “stuff” the universe is comprised of. It connects us to one another and to everything in the universe. It is like the water a fish swims in.
Quantum mechanics describes this field as sub atomic particles in a matrix or medium which connects two or more points in space. These fields are constantly changing and rearranging by exchanges of energy. 

Knots of energy emerge from the field as discrete entities react with other particles and then disappear back into the field.
These sub atomic particles or quanta form into waves when they are interacting with one another in a coherent way. As more and more quanta join into the waves that are oscillating at the same frequency and amplitude, the wave or signal becomes stronger and stronger. Eventually, the neutral field becomes discrete and information is exchanged.
So the Field is an invisible, infinite sea of energy that connects all matter (this means you and I!) We are a part of this web.



If you are still with me….you may be wondering “What in the world does this have to do with intuition or even more importantly me and my life!?

Well….thoughts are energy. Thoughts organize the field.  This is especially true when great numbers of people are experiencing the same event or praying meditating together. When the field becomes organized the information is exchanged.  

Of course, this field of energy operates and exists beyond space in time.  It is everywhere and connects everything. That is how we sometimes know, when the phone rings, who is on the other end of the line. Someone is thinking of us and reaching out to us and alters the Field in such a way that we can pick up on the information being projected. This also explains the sudden knowing of an event outside that is beyond our personal space/time parameters. We can even pick up on what is going to happen as there is no time in the field. All possibilities exist simultaneously. 
I can relate an example of this from my own experience. In 1998, I had a strange dream of Japanese girls all dressed in white dancing. When I mentioned this dream to a friend, she looked surprised and asked,
“Didn’t you watch the opening ceremony of the Olympics last night?” I replied that no, I hadn’t watched TV at all. She then described the opening ceremony of the Japanese winter Olympics. A long line of Japanese girls dressed in white dancing! I believe that because this was such a strong imprint in the field my sub conscious mind could pick up on it. 

The Field is neutral, neither bad nor good. It has consciousness in the sense that it is effected by everything that happens on our earth and it responds to thoughts and events. It is the intentionality of our consciousness and the intentionality of all life forms that organizes the field into meaning.

The Global ConsciousnessProject has been studying this phenomenon for fifteen years. They are is an international, multidisciplinary collaboration of scientists and engineers that collect data continuously from a global network of physical random number generators. These number generator just produce 1s and 0s in a completely random order. These generators are located in up to 70 host sites around the world at any given time. The data are transmitted to a central archive. Incredibly, these numbers become more synchronized, beyond the level of chance, when a world event occurs or even before it occurs. Before 911, the numbers became less random showing a fluctuation in the unconscious minds of many, many people.  How our intentionality or even just observation interacts with random or neutral energy is explained in this fun video.



Science shows up us what the mystics, sages and Chi Kung masters have known for thousands of years. We are connected. Our thoughts create meaning from a neutral field of energy. This field is life affirming, and responds to our thoughts. It especially responds to lots of people thinking the same things. It is not constrained by time or space because it is everywhere at the same time.
So imagine and think positive thoughts about yourself and others and you will be contributing to the world in a positive way!
And know that when your mind is quiet and your energy system is open, you can download information from this field that is not constrained by space or time. The best way to be able to tap into the Field with your intuition is to Meditate.

Using Technology to Help You Meditate

We live in a fast paced, information rich world. Our brains are plastic meaning that they change on a structural level according to what we think about, the activities we engage in and how we use our minds every day. We are expected to process vast amounts of information quickly, and to multi task efficiently. This has its positive aspects to be sure. We are evolving collectively in terms of what we know, can think about and the amount information we can process and access.
I do think that the diverse and multi layered attentional style most of us have adopted changes our brains to actually crave and need alot of stimuli. This can make meditation challenging!

When we are in our in our conscious minds focusing on objective reality, processing information, planning and problem solving we are in a brain wave state known as Beta. Many people find it difficult to shift out of Beta as this is state so valued and practiced in our society. A healthy brain is one in which all the brain wave states can be experienced, allowing us to move into meditative relaxed states at will.

The brain waves we are producing in Beta are oscillating at a frequency of  13-40 Hz . Of course, our brains produce all the brain waves all the time. But the predominate brain wave frequency we are experiencing determines our state of consciousness.

The state of consciousness that you are experiencing right now is a result of your brain wave activity! That means when you change your brain wave frequency, your change your state of consciousness, which results in a specific feeling and state of mind! This is Meditation.


Every thought we think is a bio chemical and electro magnetic event that causes neurons to fire. The speed at which these neurons fire creates a frequency that can be seen on an EEG machine as waves. Our brains constantly produce five brain wave frequencies: Gamma, Beta, Alpha,Theta and Delta. . Brain wave therapy helps you to have a flexible brain!
The chart below gives you a graphic representation of brain waves and their corresponding states of consciousness.

  • Creativity
  • Light Meditation
  • Creative Visualization
  • Creative Problem Solving
Theta 4-8Hz
Theta Brain Waves
  • Super Learning
  • Changing Behaviors
  • Healing Addictions
  • Healing Trauma
  • Deep Meditation
  • Resolving Fears, Phobias
  • Lucid Dreaming
Delta 0.2-4Hz
Delta Brain Waves
  • Sleep
  • Physical Healing
  • Recovery From Surgery
  • Treatment for Insomnia
  • Deep Relaxation

 So how do we change our brain waves to a state conducive for Meditation?  

We can change our brain waves through a process known as Entrainment. When we listen to any repetitive, rhythmic sound such as computer generated beats  our brain waves automatically become synchronized with the sounds we are hearing.

Pulse of Sound

Brain Wave Response
   
There are frequencies embedded in the audio programs  in Healing Meditations known as binaural beats. A beat oscillating at one frequency is played into the right ear (when wearing headphones) and a different frequency is played into the left ear. The brain automatically averages these frequencies. So if you play 12 Hz in one ear and 4 Hz in the other ear, the brain "hears" 8Hz which is at the  Alpha range. As you listen to these pulses of sounds, your own brain waves began to oscillate at the same at the same frequency. As you move into a Alpha brain wave state, you begin to feel more relaxed. Vivid, rich images begin flowing through your mind. You are connecting to the Creative Unconscious where new solutions to old problems effortlessly arise.

You can use binaural beats to create a meditation experience! Once you  know how it feels to go deep into a meditative state with the help of technology, it becomes easier and easier to get there on your own. You can use brain wave therapy as your "North Star" to guide you to the state you want to be in.

I use a program called Gnaural to produce binaural beats. Its fun and easy to use. Give it a try!

All the guided meditations from Healing Meditations  include binaural beats. I've recently created two new programs which are ambient music with binaural beats without any spoken word. Very relaxing. The Tropical Dream can be used as a sleep aid.
Tropical Dream-Theta
Forest Relaxation-Alpha

I know that the binaural beats, and beautiful ambient music  will easily guide you to a state of deep meditation, happiness and peace. Please feel free to comment and ask questions!
