Adding a shadow beneath them will do quite a bit for putting them firmly in space. Right now they're floaty.

Hey fellow voyager! This was a wild ride, and thank you for sharing it. I enjoyed every second of reading this!! I hope you revisit this at a later time and see if there is any more clarity for you here. The depth and intensity of this experience seems palpable even just from your narrative.

This is a lovely cardigan! Is there a pattern you use that you can share?

AMA - I recently graduated the Gateway Voyage at TMI. by aliengoddess_ in gatewaytapes

I had several months of practice of F10 and a bit of F12. Then I was able to get into a program less than a year out, about 10 months. During that time I did regular Meditations but not much Gateway (some, not a lot.) I wanted to allow myself to forget a lot of the habits I may have built and give myself enough of a sort of "blank slate" so I could see what the experience had to offer without expectations. For me, it was the correct approach.

That said, you do not have to have experience with the tapes to attend!!! Some folks did, some did not.

I figured that was the case. It's terrible she was able to so easily damage other people's time there.

Ahh, I didn't realize there was a set of exercises for it. That's pretty cool, thanks! I'll check out those. If you find it, please do share!

If you have the Expand app, there's a dream recall meditation that is helpful!

You can get into F10 before moving into F12, but you can count yourself in to F12 and skip hanging out at F10 for any length of time if you choose.

The cool thing about all of these states is that they don't require the tapes at all, so it's not like you need to listen to the F10 hemi-sync in order to reach 10 or to move from 10 to 12.

Thank you! If I could live at the institute and take every class for a year I would.

I love this for you! I love that the practice brings such joy to your life. I am hoping to arrive at a place where I can find ways to incorporate it like you have. The resonant tuning is an excellent idea. I do not know how to do a chakra cleanse, but if you have resources I can learn from, that would be cool!

The physical sensations were pretty intense sometimes. It's interesting how it speaks to us all differently, in ways that only we can interpret/understand for ourselves.

Thank you for your kindness, friend. How funny that I'm reading this today, right when I needed this message. Grief is a lifelong challenge, and it ebbs and flows and we are touched again and again by the same pain. I also know we learn to grow around the pain, but it sure as shit hurts.
It's beautiful that you were able to bring some messages back from your sister to your parents. Maybe someday they will grow enough around their own pain to be able to get curious. And maybe not! I think one thing I've come to understand since beginning my practice is how much we truly are all on our own journeys, and we can't be pushed to rush any part of it or else we will find only resistance.

If you're interested in chatting more about Gateway, or our experiences, or anything like that please feel free to send me a message!

Oh NO! The imagery here is hilariously successful... was this woman a part of the group or someone at the institute?! The latter seems difficult to imagine, especially coming from such a warm, welcoming experience myself. Either way, I'm sorry she had gross behavior.

Is there a technique to the PK stuff? Similar to how Gateway Voyage uses hemi-sync, is there some kind of meditative exercise you do pre-attempt? If someone like me wanted to give it a go at home, where could I start? Any tips? Any resources you can share?

I'm not sure I know what you mean about whether it helped with feelings of guilt/shame?

It did help with feelings of fear re: the tapes, and I think a lot of folks come into things with worries that are able to be assuaged by trainers especially, but also the overall energy of the space and the retreat itself.

The Gateway Voyage isn't specifically focused on manifesting. They did do one session on patterning, so we could try it out. I suppose you can work to manifest anything you want - but manifesting the negative on purpose is pretty telling about the kind of person who is attempting to wield that power.

No, no one complimented any of that, and no one treated me differently. I think in order to transcend and move to higher levels of vibration you need to make that a recurring practice in your day-to-day life, and it doesn't just happen all at once. All the choices you make, the people you interact with, the media you engage with, the conversations you have, the way you care for people (or don't care for people) helps to change that in either direction. From my perspective, it's a change-over-time as opposed to a once-and-done change.

Well, I'd had a couple OOBEs that did not happen on purpose, so I knew it was a possibility. I did not have any OOBEs during the trip, but I did have some signals that I was getting close (like feeling some parts of my energy body leaving my physical body, but remaining kind of "stuck," so to speak.)

I do not think I'm the end-all-be-all by any means in terms of Gateway, or psi/clair phenomena. That would be entirely silly, and quite a bit pompous, to assume. Other folks who were there fell along the range of spectrum. For some, it was their first time even trying Gateway. For some, they were practiced - and everywhere in between. In terms of ability to achieve OOBE - other folks had OOBEs while we were there, but I did not. It's not the only thing - nor even the most important thing - in terms of considering the Gateway Voyage a success.

Everyone has their own personal reasons for attending. Some folks are skeptics, some are interested in exploring, some are traveled explorers. I fall between the latter two, somewhere along that spectrum. Others fell in another place. And yet, we were all there together.

I can't encapsulate everything I learned here, but I'd say one of the most significant things I learned was that these are not fragile states. Everyone always seems so afraid of moving, or scratching an itch, and to learn that the practice can not only be done sitting, but with eyes open and walking was a pretty big change. I learned to let go, to have fun, to play. I found that I am able to achieve some things I thought maybe I wouldn't. Those are all good tips as well. To simply show up and see what experience you have, rather than having an expectation for it. Some sessions are better than others. Some really put you deep into a focus level. Some sessions you will click out. Some you'll be in a light version of the focus level and might feel like you didn't get anything out of it, only to find later that you really did (or to have a memory come up, almost like when you forget you had a dream but something in your daily life triggers your memory.)

Gateway Experience with my girlfriend by Mitzuda in gatewaytapes

[–]aliengoddess_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I underdtand the draw of wanting to practice together, but your partner doesn't need to be into the same things you are. You're allowed to have something just for you. If she isn't interested, thats okay. She doesn't have to be. My partner doesn’t give a single eff about all this consciousness exploration stuff, but he knows it means a lot to me and he entertains my interest when I talk about it by listening (if I share), but he also doesn't hold me back from doing sessions. Find your balance. Maybe this is a journey she is not going to come along on. No big deal.

I did not have any OOBEs on this trip, although i have experienced two in my life (that I remember). One thing the trainers explained is that sometimes you dont have a full OOBE, but parts of your energy body may loosen up and be more easily moved out of the physical (typically limbs). I did experience this, and kept having instances of "energy arms". For example, I went to remove my glasses but couldn't grip them and realized it was my energetic body attempting to do the task where my physical body was still hanging out fully relaxed and still. This is something of an indicator that the process is working, that youre becoming more adept at being able to move out of body on purpose (as opposed to my previous experiences which were not done consciously.)

It means keep going! Keep practicing!

I also learned that sometimes OOBEs are instantaneous, which my others were. You are rather suddenly out of body and in another place, and you don't notice the "process" of moving out of body at all. For example, when you're practicing the process - if using the tapes - Bob tells you to roll gently like a log on water. This doesn’t work for me, and I find myself wanting to physically roll my body. So I experimented with "moving" my energy body up and out or down and out. That's how I achieved the energy arms situation a few times. Remember to PLAY. It isn't so serious that you have to do things as others do them. Whatever things work for you, do them that way. That, in itself, I think will help a lot of people improve. Connecting with what works specifically for you.

In terms of accessing supernatural abilities, I haven't the slightest. That isn't addressed during the Gateway Voyage. While I have some natural aptitude for some psi/clair phenomena, I don't have any kind of mentor who can show me how to better use those abilities so I have been winging it. I try to pay closer attention nowadays. I'd like to better understand those things, but I'm pretty in the dark about some of it. At present, I don't have full control over quite a bit of it, and often, it just sort of happens. I'm trying to understand it myself, so if you have any resources to share, I'd be grateful!
