My friend made this Binaural Beats app to assist with Astral Projection, NHI contact and altered states of consciousness. It's takes aspects of the Gateway Experience and CE5 to create a much more focused experience.

I've been using it as a tester for a month now and I really love the simplicity, but most importantly the Journeys are really amazing. They move between brain states and allow for deeper, more fluid experiences. It also includes a dream journal which is helpful to have inside the app.

Hope you guys enjoy as much as I do. Save travels!

Hello. I started to be interested in this program. I got my hands on the program. I have Wave I to Wave VII. I started at Wave I, first track. What I felt? Well first keep in mind I used in my life strong psychedelics. Detaching from my body and ego death are things that I lived. I know is not an "audio drug" or something, but I think it will matter in what I have to say further. I started to notice my body getting numbed and at one point I felt certain parts of my body disappearing. I remember it was a passage when they ask you to exhale and hum but I skipped that since my girlfriend was watching something and I didn't want to freak her out. I didn't tell her what I was doing, and I was not in the mood to stop my session and give explanations. After that I noticed my mind focus getting somehow central. I had a clarity of mind while my body was gone, and it was so relaxing I didn't want to come back. At one point on the first track (towards the end) it says I should enjoy the experience and take my time. I became aware my pulsatile tinnitus in the left ear was gone. I always hear that thump in my ear but this time it was gone. Meanwhile I became aware of things going through my body. A small muscular contraction in there, how it felt when I moved a finger just a little. I was very aware of how my body was working. After the session was over, I started to have a headache. Nothing serious but I was aware of that. When I went to sleep later, I slept for like 3 hour or something and I woke up like I had a shot of caffeine or something. My mind was clear as hell while frustrated I didn't sleep longer. I took a Zolpidem and went to sleep. I want to ask users with more experience if I'm on the right path. What happened to me was supposed to happen? I would love to read more about first experiences. Today I plan to go back to the program. Was interesting. I was a little bit confused because I was expecting different frequencies in my ears but while it had a little of such thing, most of it was like brown noise or pink noise or a mix of both. Should I go with the tapes or use frequencies generators to fill my ears with different frequencies? Let's say 200Hz in left and 205 Hz in, right? I'm interested in out of the body experiences and visuals.. etc. I know is a long way, but I know it can happen.

Like I was saying, since the beginning of the tapes, I had been getting a sensation in the middle of my eyebrows. It’s been there since a while, since years now tbh if we go back far enough, whenever I have meditated or have been focused when thinking.

This morning, I finally transcended it listening to the NVC II tape. It suddenly opened up and dispersed and then went away, followed by a cooling sensation. Then it came back again, and then went again and then came another cooling sensation on my head and then it repeated one more time before the cooling sensation came again and now, there’s nothing on it.

It’s radiated to the top of my head, I think. I had some doubts related to nvc and didn’t exactly know what I was doing since nvc I. During my second time listening to nvc I a couple days ago, I even encountered a scary face in a location I am not that familiar with when Robert guides us to be open to receiving messages in non verbal form. I saw this on looking house, typical of the older houses of Haryana and Punjab, the region I am from. And then I saw this green faced woman with a large tongue and animalistic teeth turning her face and looking at me.

I didn’t think much of it or get scared and simply moved on and finished the tape. I was gonna make a post on that originally m asking for answers but this seemed to be the more pressing issue for me atm.

Usually before my sessions, I do Wim hof breathing too, two sets of 40 reps but i could not this morning due to the brevity of time. When I did jump into this though, this happened. Like I said before, it radiated to the top of my head. I finished the last tape of this series, adventure I think. It was about the continuum of consciousness. I tried to get a feel of that sensation on the top of my head too but I think this is gonna be here for a while like the forehead one.

Ik that a lot of you might tell me that it would imply something with my ajnaya chakra but I am someone who’s aware of the risks associated with kundalini activation and n how dangerous it could be if not done with someone more experienced next to you and if it indeed is that and has radiated to my crown chakra now, should it not have been starting with my mooladhar/root chakra to begin with?

Would love any input and advice, thanks.

I've recently moved into doing Intro to Focus 15. I have heard through many that they feel as if they're in a complete void, detached from the body with no sense of time. Though I have mastered F10 and F12, when I do Intro to F15, I cannot reach that point of "no-time".

I’ve already AP’ed many times, but have never been able to do so listening to the Gateway tapes while conscious. What I mean by that is that I’ve gone from lucid to AP quite a few times, while listening to the tapes (and without), but never in that mind awake, body asleep state.

A few days ago, someone mentioned Compoint 12 and I haven’t listened to that one in a long time. I gave it a whirl, but ended up falling asleep.

When I woke up, the recording was over, so I thought I would just start with NVC2 and let it keep playing into Compoint 12, with the hopes that if I fell asleep again, I might wake up a little during Compoint 12.

That seemed to do the trick. I woke up just enough to know I was in the “phase” and convinced myself to try sitting up in bed (my astral body), which worked. I was a little worried I would wake up, but instead I was able to then rotate 90 degrees to get my legs on the floor and the next thing I knew I was out of bed.

It was sort of non-eventful, but I managed to get to the bathroom mirror to look at myself (which is always my first step when I AP), but I snapped back into my body and woke up very shortly after that.

Anyway, maybe my experience will be a little breadcrumb for someone out there.

Hello - I'm relatively new to the Gateway Tapes. I've gone through Wave 1 and, for the most part, I feel like I can get to Focus 10 pretty well. My mind is awake but my body feels super relaxed and heavy. I do have a hard time with the resonant tuning because my husband is in bed next to me (I do the session during our "read before sleep time" at night). So I don't want to make a bunch of weird noises while he's trying to read. Thus, I just breath out and follow the sounds the Tibetan Monks are making with my mouth and throat, though not making a sound. I also have a really hard time visualizing the energy balloon and the box. Initially, I had to have ChatGPT create images for me so I can think of those during those times and it seems to help a little bit. I think I get so distracted on trying to visualize this stuff, it's probably working against me. But once I say my version of the affirmation (I can't remember it all, so I summarize), and relax everything, then I'm good.

However, I just started Wave 2, Intro to Focus 12. I just do not get it--how do you make your consciousness "expand"? Again, I get so hung up on trying to visualize what that means or feels like, that I kind of get nowhere. In Focus 10, I can pretty well shut off and just hang out in that state, but the more Bob tells us to visualize stuff, the more I get hung up.

Any tips for this? How do I visualize consciousness outside my body? I mean I really WANT to experience that and maybe I'm just overthinking it. I try just saying "I'm more than my physical body" over and over hoping that will knock my consciousness out of my brain, or maybe I'm just too locked into my body? Or need more practice? Any pointers would be super helpful and appreciated!

I've seen in both the manuals and here on the wiki (which is based on the manual) that one should pattern for oneself. Suppose I want someone to succeed in getting somewhere, obvi that person isn't me. But can I pattern on their behalf?

My first true OBE was a difficult one, mainly because I didn’t believe in it and it sort of happened by accident. I got out of my bed, felt INCREDIBLY heavy, and could only muster enough steps to reach my brother’s room. Only when I opened his door, there was a pitch black void on the other side. I wasn’t scared by this because in truth, I had seen this exact void when I was in a coma and on the verge of death.

My second OBE was a lot more successful. I tried to turn my body which triggered me to escape and I didn’t feel heavy anymore. I actually said “haha fuck yeah, I did it!” And proceeded to walk to my rooms door. Only before I opened it, a tornado alarm went off in the real world and it woke me up. However, I had this intuitive feeling that the void would be there again.

Also, during F10 and F12 I can see the auras of hands stretching out to me and once the floating begins I start to notice the feet of a woman in front of me and the more I focus on that, I realize I’m looking down at a sidewalk while she’s in front of me. If I try to look up I realize she’s in a hospital gown in the middle of a city street and she just looks at me. I don’t feel any threatening vibes but it’s a really intense stare, it feels like we’re both out of place. I’ve also seen a deceased friend sitting against a wall in a train station and when I tried to talk to him, an elderly black man with a red and black suit stops me. He doesn’t talk to me, he just has his hand out as if im supposed to give him something first?? I told him i didn’t have anything but that I simply wanted to sit next to him and if he could do me this favor then that would be cool. He nodded and I sat there until it was almost time to wake up. I really miss him and it’s difficult to not think about him during these meditations, though I’ve always been able to put him in my box. This was during F12 only.

I used to think this was Limbo, now I’m not so sure. Could use some advice about as to what it could be? Wondering if this has happened to others as well.

I moved to hostel and doing resonant tuning here would make me seem like a freak ive tried to do it but i cant because of the embarrassment . can i do resonant tuning in someplace right before meditation session (standing)or is it compulsory to do it in relaxed position ?

I started a week ago

Going back and forth between focus 10 and advanced focus 10

I'm doing this before sleeping and after waking up, sometimes one more time around 7 pm

And since I started I would wake up around 3AM and not be able to go back to sleep until almost 7 am then need to wake up to go about my day

Wondering if this is a common side effect or something that I can fix.

Thank you

I did the color breathing tape for the first time last night. Out of curiosity...has anyone noticed any healing from purple color breathing? I don't have any injuries or pains at the moment, so while doing the tape I focused on healing an in-grown hair...its still there this morning.

I did actually have some healing from the tapes form when he says you'll wake up and your body will be in balance. Oddly, I had a bicep injury that had been making it difficult to exercise for about 6 months. It just miraculously went away and my arm is fully functional now. Coincidence or not, I don't know.

Hi,

I have a question about the focus 10 state.
I’m directing this question specifically to people with hyperphantasia who have experiences similar to mine and might therefore be able to explain some of the finer nuances involved.

I’ve been lucid dreaming for over 40 years, so I’ve observed my own process of falling asleep many times. I have hyperphantasia, so even if I close my eyes right now, after a short while I’ll start seeing the same kind of imagery that appears during the process of falling asleep - something that could be described as hypnagogia.

Because of this, I also find it extremely easy to ignore my body. What I mean is that I’m usually so immersed in my mind that I don’t notice signals coming from my body until I stop whatever I’m doing or deliberately turn my attention toward them. When falling asleep, I practically never experience hypnic jerks, itching, or the urge to change position. My body relaxes almost immediately. I fall asleep very quickly -the hypnagogia simply sweeps me away, and suddenly I’m asleep.

If I want to enter a dream consciously, I first need to sleep through the first few hours of the night. Only then do I use a method of letting my awareness sway along with the hypnagogia -the waves of hypnagogic imagery rise and fall in intensity, and my awareness drifts with them. This back and forth movement gradually becomes denser and more immersive, until at some point the hypnagogic imagery becomes spatial and threedimensional. Then I simply get out of bed and step into a dream location that has formed out of one of those hypnagogic scenes, and that is how I begin the whole cycle of lucid dreaming.

The second state I know very well is meditation. When I meditate, I usually need around 30 minutes to reach a state of inner silence, where I’m simply present and there is no longer this constant stream of hypnagogic imagery. I can remain in that state for a long time, but I can still feel my body normally, and I can move a leg or an arm without disrupting the state.

Coming back to focus 10 -when I listen to the tape and go through all the steps in sequence, I have to admit that I basically feel the way I normally do. It’s easy for me to visualize everything, and it’s easy for me to let go of my attention to bodily sensations, so I keep wondering whether I’m actually entering the state described as focus 10 at all.

This question is specifically for people with hyperphantasia who practice the gateway, because I think only people with that kind of experience will really understand what I mean and what sort of nuances I’m trying to distinguish here.

The only state of bodily relaxation that would feel distinctly deeper to me would be sleep paralysis, but I’ve experienced that only a handful of times in my life, and each time I could break out of it quite easily whenever I wanted to.

Hey everyone, I just finished Wave 4, Tape 4.6 (Compoint 12) and had an incredible session that I wanted to share to get some feedback. I am especially curious if anyone else has experienced this level of tactile sensation during NVC.
Here is the exact log of my experience in Focus 12:
Initial Contact: After translating words into NVC in the first part of the tape, Bob left us to just perceive NVC in F12. At that moment, two entities from my previous exercise appeared, and I greeted them in NVC asking, "Hello, are you here?". 
The First Tactile Touch: I received a "Yes" (a distinct energy of presence). Immediately with it, I felt a physical, electrical touch on the ring finger of my left hand. 
The Cross-Hand Validation: My analytical mind kicked in, so I sent an NVC message: "Touch me one more time to confirm". A few seconds passed, and then I felt that exact same annoying little electrical discharge again—but this time on my right hand, right on the bridge of the palm! This blew my mind and proved to me it wasn't just my brain repeating a signal. 
The "Family" Download: I then asked, "Who are you?". I instantly received the translated NVC concept of "Family," accompanied by a massive wave of loving energy. 
The Pause and a Third Entity: I asked if they would help me, and then their presence completely vanished. During this pause, I briefly felt a third entity in the background. It didn't send any message, and its nature felt neutral to slightly negative. It just passed by. 
The Return: I kept sending "Hello, I am here". After 2-3 minutes, the "Family" entities returned. Upon their return, I felt the electrical touch again, seemingly on my right hand, and felt a positive response to my request for help. 
OBE Request: Right before the end, I transmitted the message, "I want to have an OBE". Right after that, Bob's voice came in telling us to transmit our goodbyes. 
Note on the Compoint: Interestingly, Bob didn't mention anything about building the Compoint during the tape, so I didn't use any visual station. I just stayed in this pure "conversation" state in the void, planning to create the space later. 
Has anyone else experienced this kind of direct, cross-hand physical validation when communicating? How do you interpret the "Family" response? Any feedback on this interaction would be greatly appreciated!

Hello

I'm still stuck at focus 10. I couldn't really get into F10(if you can call it that) in the beginning, so I would meditate everytime before I listened to the tapes. What I do is, I focus on the breath until the mind quietens.

So I tried doing the same during the tapes as well - focusing on the breath or bodily sensations.

And so I started getting these tingles, vibrations (pretty intense sometimes) throughout my body - mostly hands. And I would be exhausted when I'm done. Despite these effects, did I really get into F10? The definition clearly suggests "mind awake, body asleep" and I could always feel my body and move it pretty much at will.

So I have been trying something new; I just let myself be without doing anything at all. I find myself relaxing a lot more with this process, although without the characteristic 'tingles'. Unfortunately, more often than not I get these 'dreams' and slowly 'click out' after the preparatory process - I wouldn't be exactly asleep but not awake all the same. Regardless, I would wake up to Mr. Monroe's voice toward the end.

Which method would you suggest me continue with and any other suggestions are all welcome. Thank you.

I used to do 1.5 hours of breath exercise and then get into gateway. Or do 30 min breathwork and then 30 min gateway. Which 100% made the experience 10x more potent. I cant reach any focuses now i just sleep like a bubugaga.

Sorry this post is kind of woo-woo.

I heard it during the section where there are sounds of the ocean and wooshing. The growling was enough to make the left flank of my abdomen in the rib cage area get sensitive as if I needed to cover it up for protection. I also get that sensation when getting shaved with trimmers at the Barber. It almost feels like a tickle in my ribcage on the flank.

So, I suppose my body I perceived something "dangerous" on my left side while listening to the tapes. I centered my attention on being calm and imagining myself inside of a bubble of protection. I'm not a religious person, but I also mentally asked for protection from God, and just tried to enjoy the sounds of the ocean.

I didn't really feel one way or the other about this experience. I think my body and brain were just experiencing something odd.

I wasn't scared, but more intrigued than anything else.

Has anyone experienced anything like that?

I started the tapes just under 2 years ago. I've been on an amazing spiritual journey since then, overcome a lot of deep traumas, discovered myself, had OBEs, the works. The change from when I first started to today has been huge.

I've noticed, particularly in recent months, is how short my tolerance has become for most people. I often feel that most people live in a prison of their own mind. I don't feel "annoyed" by them exactly, more like I find it hard to empathize with and understand others, including close friends and family. I often feel there is a very easy solution to whatever the other person is dealing with, but they hold themselves back.

I used to be that person, so I should be more understanding, but I almost feel like I'm reading a book or seeing a post online when people talk to me, like I'm viewing their story from a third person POV and finding trouble connecting with and to them.

Sometimes I feel alone in this sensation, that I want to be supportive to my friends and loved ones but find it difficult to meet them in the same place.

Wondering if anyone has experienced something similar?

Hello,

apologies in advance - english is not my first language. I would like to share, and ask others, how does "place" you arrive to in F10 look like?

Mine looks exactly like that scene from Harry Potter when Harry arrives to a white train station where he meets Dumbledore. I don't have a slightest clue how and why this image continually pops-up but it does. On the other hand, F12 place looks like I'm sitting on a top of green hill overlooking the endless pastures.

I've also started to read a book Liquid Luck and it struck me when Joe wrote something about missing the train feeling and getting stuck in the station. It never crossed my mind that I should board the train(s) that were arriving on the station in F10.

What are your experiences? Thank you!

So i used the sleep timer option and I always end up having these really crazy dreams where I’m in different part of the world…. Anyone else experience this?
