NeuroMeditation: IFS The Path Meditation - Dick Schwartz. Featuring Ted's Garden (30 Mins)

-

This lunchtime i ran a 30 minute guided open heart IFS meditation to The Path, one of the more fundamental IFS (Internal Family Systems) meditations for me, lead by the founder of IFS, Dick Schwartz.

I started the meditation with a empty mind, it was difficult to find any any thought at all to try and find the start of the path.

IFS is different to Mindful Meditation, where the goal is to detach from all thoughts and feelings. In IFS we see that each thought and feeling belong to a part of the system and has a need that must be understood and met and unburdended - there are no bad parts. 

I found the start of my path, which is a path i am familiar with in my childhood suburb of Greenwich, and then i listened for parts of my system that would object to 40 year old Nick taking a walk without them.

Part of me was unsure, part was worried, part wanted to figure it out - all likely younger parts of me. These are all very familiar feelings belonging to parts of me that i have come to know after some IFS practice.

I asked other parts of my system that i know to join these parts to comfort them, 25 year old nick who travels internationally showed up and hung out in a circle with these parts, and i went on the path walk alone and in peace with a sense of self energy and calm.

Other parts showed up as thoughts as I walked along the path, and I asked them to go back to the base of the path to join the others, further deepening the calm and self energy

NeuroMeditation: Lucid Dreaming Theta Binaural Guided Meditation (45 Mins)

  In this meditation around 5 minutes, i noticed fairly rapid movement into subconscious-focused states, i enjoyed the use of hypnosis techniques employed by the guide. I felt like I fell into unconsciousness twice during the meditation, however, i am relatively well-rested and haven't fallen asleep in either of my other 2 meditations today and it's unlike me to actually sleep during meditation so I am a little confused about how i lost contact with my consciousness in this one.  I really enjoy this meditation, it's one of my favorites and I must have done this one 30 or so times this year. Here is the data     I have had some luck with my Muse connectivity, having resolved some of the bluetooth connection issues. Apparantly i need to pair the Audio before the Muse to stop any disconnection issues. More will be revealed.

NeuroMeditation: Singing Bowls of Shangri-La (2 Hours)

-

I ran this 1 Hours Singing Bowl Meditation back to back twice for a 2 Hour Meditation. The sound waves of Tibetan bowls are at 432 hz, some neuroscientists speculate thoughts are electromagnetic signals firing between synapses in the brain also at 432 hz, so the sound interferes with the brain's thought patterns making it easier to meditate and allow the mind to be still and free of thoughts. During extended Sound Bath meditations I tend to focus on the breath initially whilst the sound takes away the mind, i also focus on the weight of the body on the bed, the sense of my body in the room, the sense of my body being in the city, the country, the earth, the universe in that order. After about 10-15 minutes of this meditation, I noticed I was entering into a light lucid dreaming state, about 30 minutes I noticed I was deep into a subconscious-only state. About 45 minutes in I noticed  anticipatory fears as to whether I would be able to experience 3rd eye visuals or connect to th
