Ok, so now I've been using the Holosync demo tape for about 3 days. I've used it at home (at night), and also in the office.
Still first impressions but I wanted to share them.
During listening to the demo, I don't really feel a thing. In the begining, I did get some visual patterns, but not anymore. When I listened to it at night, I got quite awake after it, for about twenty minutes and then plunged into a good sleep. Had some weird dreams though with strong feelings associated, someof enthusiasm but also some of deep sadness. Strange... I found myself waking up earlier but more energised.
Using the tapes at work had the result of concentrating much easier it seems? The last couple of days I am also reaching the end of the day in a less tired state.
Given these early conclusions, I am now more curious about holosync and will use it for a while longer to see if these results come from the tape or not...
I'll keep you posted.

Centerpointe's Holosync: 1st impressions

Centerpointe's Holosync: real or fake
Yesterday I received the demo CD from Centerpointe regarding their 'technique' of meditation via sound waves, Holosync.
Gave it a go: first time I listened, was very surprised as images just came to my mind with me having no control over them! Mainly lights and patterns! Then was a bit disapointed as most of the demo is about this guy selling you the benefits of the technique and enticing you to buy the full cd set, at $179!
Another bad impression was that on the website, they said they had to charge $9 for postal deliveries, the CD sample was totally free. When I got it, there was a stamp from the post office with the cost of delivery at around $4... So contrary to what they say, they are making quite a bit of money on 'free samples' and tricking consumers that way.
Getting down to the real stuff, does it help you to meditate and relax, increase awareness, it's too early to tell. To start with, I admit I am suspicious of something that you basically have to do nothing but put on a pair of headphones for such 'advertised' amazing benefits. Normal meditation is difficult but the reward is also in the process.
But I'll keep at it and will share the conclusions in a few days!
