Return to external awareness

By Phil on Oct. 13, 2009.

Focus on your brain stem, located at the point where your head pivots left and right. Visualize your brain stem and entire brain lighting up as you go deeper and deeper into the shaking motion. Your head may also go up and down or follow the shape of an infinity symbol as you go deeper into the motion. After a few minutes, slowly return to external awareness, breathing in and exhaling fully.

Full-Body Brain Wave Vibration

The goal with the Full-Body Brain Wave Vibration is to create full relaxation and a calm, meditative mental state. With practice you will be able to bring yourself more deeply into the vibrations, and the benefits will become greater. You can eventually grow the vibrations to include the whole body, changing the posture as seems intuitively appropriate to you. There is no specific time requirement for Brain Wave Vibration, but you might want to start this exercise with 10 minutes and work up to 20 to 30 minutes.

As you become more comfortable with this exercise, work on letting go of your inhibitions. You should not be concerned with how you look or whether you are doing it correctly. Let it become like an improvisational dance in which you express the content of your inner being. And, of course, don’t forget to have lots of fun!
