Mindfulness is about learning to wake up. Do you often find yourself stressed or anxious? Do you feel that your life is a series of challenges with only brief respites in between? And no matter how hard you try, there always seem to be more problems for you to deal with? In our modern fast-paced society many of us feel this way. We can change this with a contemporary form of an ancient practice called Mindfulness Meditation. For centuries, various forms of this meditation have been used not only by spiritual practitioners for stilling the mind and attaining deeper wisdom and enlightenment but by many ordinary people looking for more understanding of and harmonious operation of their minds.

In this online course, you will learn techniques for inducing an out-of-body-experience (OBE), as described in Robert Monroe's seminal book Journeys Out of the Body. Participants will be assisted by special Hemi-Sync® frequencies developed based on the book and will receive MP3 downloads of exercises as part of the course. An OBE is a state in which one's consciousness appears to depart the physical body allowing perception by means other than those of the physical senses. Hemi-Sync® Support for Journeys Out of the Body is an in-home training series designed to provide Hemi-Sync audio-guidance to those who desire to achieve this state. With practice, one can be brought up to the borderland sleep state, and through it, to experience the out-of-body state with full conscious awareness. Six tracks; first track is an intro by Robert Monroe followed by five exercises, four of which are unguided. Guidance manual included.
The OBE phenomenon is discussed in great detail in Robert A. Monroe's undisputed classic, Journeys Out of the Body (Doubleday, 1971). This book is highly recommended to complement this series. Pay particular attention to chapter 16 of the book.
Introduction
In the book, Robert (better known as “Bob”) explains the use of “borderland sleep” to achieve a state of consciousness that is conducive to the out-of-body experience. The concept is quite simple: learning to attain and hold a state of consciousness where your mind is awake but your body is deeply asleep. However, its successful execution requires dedication and persistence.
This Mind Awake, Body Asleep state is a primary milestone in using the Hemi-Sync® audio guidance technology, that will be used in this workshop to help you achieve an OBE, step by step.
The Borderland Sleep method outlines four main steps on the way to achieving the out-of-body state, which Bob labeled as Conditions A through D. The Hemi-Sync Support for Journeys Out of the Body series provides exercises designed to assist you through each phase of your journey.
Exercise 1—The Importance of Relaxation
In the set-up to this section, we will also cover the importance of the OBE, adopting the proper mindset and some suggestions for practice.
Learning to relax our bodies and quiet our minds is a skill that is critical to achieving an OBE. The Relaxation Reinforcement exercise uses audio frequencies that help induce a state of deep physical and mental relaxation. In addition, the verbal guidance in this exercise will teach you how to achieve and maintain a deeply relaxed state.
Exercise 2—Condition A
When you have learned to comfortably achieve and maintain a deeply relaxed state, this second exercise will guide you into the Borderland Sleep state — that delicate liminal state of being that exists between wakefulness and sleep. The frequencies in this exercise help you to maintain this state of mental attention, and to develop a sense of stability and peacefulness while in this altered state of consciousness.
In this section, we will address common sensations and experiences in the Borderland state, including the vibrational state — a typical exit symptom.
Exercise 3—Condition B
After you have developed a growing strength of focus and conscious awareness, the Condition B exercise will guide you to the next step — holding you steady in the Borderland Sleep State without the mental aid of focusing on a single thought-object. In this state, you will experience a sense of freedom from your everyday concerns and anxieties — to just be peacefully present with yourself.
Here we will discuss navigating non-physical realms and some of the obstacles we are likely to encounter when exploring expanded states of consciousness, including the fear barrier.
Exercise 4—Condition C
In this section, we will begin to learn exit techniques, beginning with the Target, as well as how to quickly and easily return to physical matter reality.
The Condition C exercise leads you through the systematic deepening of the Borderland Sleep State, guiding your fully conscious mind across and beyond the sleep threshold. The audio guidance signals will help you to let go of your rigid hold on the edge of the Borderland State, progressively deepening your level of consciousness.
Exercise 5—Condition D
The Condition D exercise puts all you have learned into a single exercise, with the most powerful frequencies in the series. With this exercise you will achieve a profound state of consciousness from which you can transcend your ordinary sense of reality. The deepest explorations into self and universe become possible here. You have no limits!

By learning how to use Acupressure points with meditation, you can find peace of mind & enhance your journey to spiritual awakening.
The points open the flow of healing energy to greater enhance your meditation practice and experience.
Michael will guide you step by step how to use key Acupressure points,
Acu-Yoga postures and mudras, hand-specific types of meditations.
Each session is intended to be completed over the course of about a week. In each session, we’ll focus on different ways in which these simple exercises can make a significant difference in your life.
Acupressure is an ancient healing art that uses the fingers to press key points on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body’s natural self-curative abilities. When these points are pressed, they release muscular tension and promote the circulation of blood and the body’s life force to aid healing. Acupuncture and acupressure use the same points, but acupuncture employs needles, while acupressure uses the gentle but firm pressure of hands (and even feet). There is a massive amount of scientific data that demonstrates why and how acupuncture is effective. But acupressure, the older of the two traditions, was neglected after the Chinese developed more technological methods for stimulating points with needles and electricity. Acupressure, however, continues to be the most effective method for self-treatment of tension-related ailments by using the power and sensitivity of the human hand.

Dream, imagine and manifest the life of your dreams by harnessing the vast powers of creation inherent in your own mind.
Do you remember when you believed that anything was possible? Or when you had a secret feeling inside that life is meant to be magical — that it’s meant to be really good? You were right.
No matter how many disappointments, setbacks, or failures you may have experienced, the deeper truth is that the creative forces of the universe are available to you right now to make your dreams a living reality. In this workshop, you will be given the tools to help you realign with this power that is your birthright.
If you’re not clear about your dreams — if they’ve been buried beneath a mountain of stress, routine, and obligations — you can get clear very soon. You’ll recognize and empower your unique dreams so that they become bigger than any of your doubts and fears. The Magical Path workshop provides a profoundly uplifting blueprint for moving beyond old blind spots and blockages and stepping into a brand new phase of your life.
Marc Allen, human potential pioneer and visionary business leader, knows the Magical Path well. Having gone from poverty to founding a successful multi-million dollar business, he is living proof that magic and miracles can be integral to daily life rather than seemingly random occurrences. The self-guided Magical Path online workshop provides a profoundly uplifting blueprint for moving beyond old blind spots and blockages (no matter how long they have persisted) and stepping into a brand new phase of your life. In the areas of love, health, wealth, work, life purpose, spiritual growth, or any other part of your life, Marc will inspire you to dream bigger — he will dare you to dream bigger. And he will help you to imagine new possibilities for exactly how to reach your dreams.
There’s a simple trick to all of this — one that Marc quotes often — summed up by Eckhart Tolle in The Power of Now: “If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place.”
Each session is intended to be completed over the course of a few days. In each session, we’ll focus on different ways in which these simple exercises can make a significant difference in your life.

Charles Tart
Dr. Charles T. Tart, Ph.D., an internationally renowned scientist, author and teacher, pioneered the field of consciousness studies decades ago when he was one of the first Western scientists to promote the study of the physiological and psychological effects of meditation practice. His classic book Altered States of Consciousness made the phrase "altered states" a household term. Currently a Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of California, Davis, Dr. Tart has authored 14 books (three of them on Mindfulness) and more than 250 articles in leading professional journals, including Science and Nature.
Dr. Tart was a Professor of Psychology at the Davis campus of the University of California for 28 years, where he conducted his research and was a popular teacher. In the 1970s Dr. Tart consulted on the original remote viewing research program at Stanford Research Institute, where some of his parapsychological work was instrumental in influencing government policy makers against the funding of the proposed multi-billion dollar MX missile system.
In addition to Altered States of Consciousness (1969) and Transpersonal Psychologies (1975), Dr. Tart's other books are On Being Stoned: A Psychological Study of Marijuana Intoxication (1971), States of Consciousness (1975), Symposium on Consciousness (1975, with co-authors), Learning to Use Extrasensory Perception (1976), Psi: Scientific Studies of the Psychic Realm (1977), Mind at Large: Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers Symposia on the Nature of Extrasensory Perception (1979, with H. Puthoff & R. Targ), Waking Up: Overcoming the Obstacles to Human Potential (1986), Open Mind, Discriminating Mind: Reflections on Human Possibilities (1989), Living the Mindful Life (1994) and Body Mind Spirit: Exploring the Parapsychology of Spirituality (1997), which looks at the implications of hard scientific data on psychic abilities as a foundation for believing we have a real spiritual nature.
His 2001 book, Mind Science: Meditation Training for Practical People (2001) presents mindfulness training in a way that makes sense for science professionals, and his most recent book, The End of Materialism: How Evidence of the Paranormal is Bringing Science and Spirit Together, integrates his work in parapsychology and transpersonal psychology to show that it is reasonable to be both scientific and spiritual in outlook, contrary to the widely believed idea that science shows that there is nothing to spirituality.
Not just a laboratory researcher, Dr. Tart has been a student of Aikido (in which he holds a black belt), of meditation, of Gurdjieff's Fourth Way work, and of Buddhism. He has been happily married for more than 50 years and has two children and two grandchildren. His primary goal is still to build bridges between the genuinely scientific and genuinely spiritual communities, and to help bring about a refinement and integration of Western and Eastern approaches for knowing the world and for personal and social growth.
In his latest book, The End of Materialism, Dr. Tart presents over fifty years of scientific research conducted at the nation's leading universities that proves humans do have natural spiritual impulses and abilities. The End of Materialism makes a compelling argument for the union of science and spirituality in light of this new evidence, and explains why a truly rational viewpoint must address the reality of the spiritual world. Tart's work marks the beginning of an evidence-based spiritual awakening that will profoundly influence your understanding of the deeper forces at work in our lives.
Lucid Dreaming, or the ability to become consciously aware of dreaming while in the dream state, has been scientifically validated since 1980. Once aware within the dream, you have a special platform of awareness from which to access inner creativity, promote psychological growth and even encourage physical healing.
Robert Waggoner taught himself a simple technique in 1975 to become lucidly aware, and presents a two-week introductory workshop on this fascinating subject and how to have lucid dreams. As you pay attention to your dreams and dream symbols, you gain insight into yourself (as Justina Lasley covers in her Dream Interpretation workshop). Lucid dreaming assists in this effort by allowing you to actively seek insights about dream symbols, dream figures and more.
Lucid dreaming does not mean ‘control’ of the dream; rather, it shows us clearly that we are involved in a set of profound inner relationships (often with our own ideas, beliefs and emotions). Much of this workshop will introduce you to the key techniques of inducing and stabilizing this unique state of awareness, so that you can use it thoughtfully.
This workshop focuses on the basics of lucid dreaming and is suitable for those who have never had a lucid dream (but have dream recall) and those who have limited experience with lucid dreaming.

Learn Shamanic Teachings for Personal and Human Evolution: An Online Apprenticeship in the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition
“When we surrender the need to figure it all out, and cultivate the ability to let it all in, then our earth walk becomes a sacred dance of healing service on the planet. More than the world needs saving, it needs loving.”
– don Oscar Miro-Quesada
In today’s industrialized world we are living out of balance with Mother Earth and the world around us. Our modern society is out of touch and no longer lives in harmony with nature. We are seeing an increase in companies and governments indiscriminately using up earth’s resources and contributing to deforestation, global warming, extinction of our animal kingdom, poisoning our waters, and so on. This is causing rampant destruction of cultural and biological diversity as well as profound physical and psychological illnesses in all of humanity.
Through the study and practice of shamanic ceremony and ritual, individuals learn to live in harmony with nature and Mother Earth and her children, the animal, plants, minerals and each other. As one becomes more mindful of how to live more in balance with the world around us, we begin to see a healing of individuals, mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. As individuals see themselves as whole, spiritual beings, they can then direct those energies of healing to Mother Earth, Pachamama. The ancient cultures and civilizations have much to teach us about how to live respectfully and in harmony with the Cosmic Universe that surrounds us in order for our species and our world to not only survive, but to evolve into a higher consciousness of global awareness. For a free discussion of don Oscar’s work and view of reality, be sure to check-out Ep. 25 of the Hemi-Sync® podcast.
This three-week, self-guided online workshop deepens participants’ experience of soul and spirit through ritual process. This apprenticeship workshop initiates participants into the Pachakuti Mesa, a powerful and sacred altar. Students learn how to create their own mesas and work with them for self-empowerment, transformation, and helping others. Students will also work with ancient breathing techniques and traditional ceremony for physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health, well-being, and transformation. More than an introduction to ritual practice, don Oscar will initiate you into a shamanic lineage and mystery tradition containing deep gnostic secrets.
