Today was Day 39 of Holosync for me. I am getting clear and wonderful results.
1. At around day 14 (just over 3 weeks ago) I started getting a purging or releasing effect - kind of like a severe cold, except I’m not sick, and it’s still going on. I haven’t felt bad, but I have been sleeping more and I keep coughing up majorly green phlegm. Every day. I feel like it is resistance-tension-stress chemicals-crap that has been stored in my muscles and tissues for 35 years. It is lessening now at just over 3 weeks but it is still going on.
2. I had fibromyalgia. It’s just about gone. I find myself able to notice muscle tension and spend most of my day being aware of my body. Of course, I have been healing from fibromyalgia for almost 4 years now, but it seems to me the Holosync has increased my body awareness to the point where I am pushing past a plateau. Plus, I spend my hour listening to Holosynce relaxing all my muscles. It helps a lot.
3. My relationships are getting better. This seems magical
4. Things that used to bother me a lot are already bothering me less and less.
5. My understanding of spiritual concepts has skyrocketed. I can go back and read something by Byron Katie or Abraham that I just couldn’t make pracitical sense of before and now it makes sense.
6. I’m feeling better - happier - more joyful on a regular basis than I ever remember feeling in my life.
7. It’s all okay - it really is - I see this now

Today was Day 7 of using Holosync for me. I have only been using The Dive for 30 minutes each day. The benefits have been simply astounding for a 7 day period. Now, I must say that especially the first three days I found myself slipping easier into what I would consider to be my worst character traits, like worrying, blaming, yelling, irritation, and quick anger while at the same time it was easier to feel joy and love and appreciation. However, this tendency to feel worse than what I had been feeling seems to have disappeared and now I am mostly on the upswing.
I have found myself
- calmer
- happier
- frequently joyful
- able to feel and love fear, which made it go away (talk about wonderful!)
- with clarity of mind I had never experienced before
- with less mind chatter
- easier able to dismiss worrisome thoughts
- easier able to visualize and focus on what I want
My most notable achievement, I think, is that I overcame a fear of amusement park rides. Yesterday I enjoyed a roller coaster with no resistance or fear when a week ago I was scared of the Ferris wheel - every little bump would make my stomach jump as if this were the bump that signified the whole thing was going to crash to the ground and crush us all.
You know, I don’t want to say overcame fear … I want to say - dissolved, dissapated, loved into nothingness - because I didn’t overcome it. I didn’t fight it. I felt it, I loved it, I opened myself to it .. and it was gone. That was cool, and I fully attribute that to Holosync.
Day 8
I forgot to mention - more energy. I have definitely had more energy than ever in my life that I can remember. For me, almost every night, as bedtime approached, I got more tired and more tired and all I wanted to do was sit down and ‘veg’ until bedtime. well - no more! Now, I do the dishes and even write up until it is time to go to bed and I don’t have trouble falling asleep.
Day One
*** Caveat - I have had a pretty traumatizing life, and I don’t think that my experience is typical. All the reviews I read reported they felt something but had mostly good experiences .. If you have been as truamatized as I - or have similar beliefs as I, you may or may not experience something similar to what I did. I tend to think that if someone like my husband, who has had some fair trauma in his life (not quite as much as mine) but who doesn’t like to meet these kind of emotional challenges head on like I do, would have just fell asleep instead of crawling through the mud like I did. And I think in either case the Holosync would be just as effective. Here I am, creating even more trauma and drama. lol. Well, maybe that will be over soon. ***
My package of Awakening prologue from Holosync came today. I was very excited. Once I was alone in the house I sat down and listened to the first half hour. I had a response almost immediately. I started crying. This doesn’t surprise me.
I have always been ‘a cry-er’ and since I heard Abraham say that crying releases resistance I have started to envcourage it. I have tried to meditate off and on for the last 8 or 9 months and will normally cry during the middle of it. When I feel that visceral whoosh of relief or releasing of resistance I cry automatically. It seems easier to just go with it. In normal meditation I cry for just a few seconds usually and then can recover unless or until I get another ‘whoosh’. I read about the health benefits of crying many years ago and tend to believe the scientific explanations completely support Abraham’s spiritual one.
So, when I started crying, I wasn’t surprised - but the crying didn’t stop. It intensified. It turned into a 30 minute long jag that was quite intense.
Besides the crying, I experienced jumping and twitching of many muscles - especially those around my eyes and in my arms and hands. (I have fibromyalgia and although I am on my way to recovery I believe these twitches are a releasing of the resistance and chemicals that has been stored in my muscles that caused the fm to begin with). I have felt these twitches in many muscles before - quite frequently for the last month or so, but never in an awake state with the intensity that I felt during this session.
I felt as if my fine motor skills wouldn’t work - at one point I tried to scratch my nose and had to just jab at a general area of my face with my whole hand instead of one finger.
I was extremely agitated - at one point I took to pulling my hair and beating my forehead with my hands. My forehead felt very warm. I also flipped my body around a lot - I couldn’t keep still and I couldn’t keep my eyes closed. I considered turning the CD off, but didn’t, because I know my nervous system is a jangled mess and I know this is healing, not hurting.
But still, as the rain faded away at the end of the 30 minutes what flashed through my mind was ‘oh, thank God’.
When it was over, I tried to sit quietly as the supporting information suggests but couldn’t. I felt an impulse to crawl and did - all the while still crying. I crawled around the entire house, relishing the feel of the carpet dragging across my lower legs. It completely masked the being-lightly-electrocuted sensations that had been there. After about 10 minutes of crawling I collapsed on the floor and cried some more and was finally able to calm down a bit - drawing in deep, rather jagged breaths.
It took me about 2 hours to get completely back to normal, even though I still feel a bit overly sensitive. At one point I felt a kind of dull relaxation - like my system was in such overwhelm or had completely shut down enough that none of the crazy stuff was getting through.
It was intense. and good. I feel like a year’s worth of meditation and Abraham-processes has just been accomplished in 30 minutes. At one point I considered not doing it tomorrow, but right now I am really looking forward to it. I can’t wait to see what happens tomorrow. I look so forward to the positive changes in my life I know are coming.
Day 2
Today was MUCH less intense. I had the thought this morning, before I sat down with the Holosync, that if I weren’t so resistant - if I didn’t have so much resistance in my being, yesterday would not have had to have been like it was. Ah well. it was as it was.
So, today, I was quite agitated. I couldn’t sit still, couldn’t keep my eyes closed, definitely did not get in to any trance-like state, I had a few twitches, and I felt most of the entire time like my nerves were humming, especially in my left lower leg and in my nose, but I only cried a very little bit and everything else was extrememly manageable. Way different than yesterday.
Day 3 through 39
For the most part, listening is enjoyable for me now. I have off and on felt jumpy, but nothing like that first day, and I can go through a whole session just feeling good.
Today was Day One of my Holosync Journey. This thing is powerful - so powerful I know that this is the first day of the rest of my life. I want to record the entire journey here. For me. For you. For the Universe. For God. For the Record.
So, here’s where I am - this is the last and only time I will tell this full story, because from now on I am telling a different story. Abraham says if you get stuck telling the old story you will get stuck living it, and I don’t want to do that. The old story wasn’t too much fun.
I am currently about 14 days from turning 36 years old.
My Childhood
My childhood was fairly traumatic. I won’t share the details here as they won’t do anyone any good, but if I were to create a scale, where 1 was a happy childhood and 10 was growing up in a war zone with fear and despair and physical beatings every day … a lot of my childhood was a 7 or 8.
I think. lol. I don’t remember very much of it. If we say that 18 years in time went by, the memories that I have probably couldn’t take up the actual chronological space of more than 6 or 7 months. Most of the memories I do have are very difficult, scary, physically painful memories. As I age in my mind, I can remember a few ‘good’ ones - like playing gin rummy with my mom, my grandma taking me to the lake, and good experiences with friends in the high school years. I think I have blocked out most of my childhood except the absolute most painful and the absolute most wonderful memories.
Where am I now
My family and I currently are middle class, my husband works and I have a home business. We are about exactly where both our sets of parents were. We have one child who is the absolute light of my life and the reason I started my healing and transformative journey.
I think that 1) My appreciation of him allowed me to enter in some of the higher vibrations and find a way to pull myself our of the misery that I had created and 2) I would rather die before I inflicted upon him the kind of childhood that I had - but I have occassionally heard the words that were said to me come out of my mouth and I even spanked him a handful of times - ack - talk about the worst thing in the world - raising a hand to physically hurt this most wonderful, beautiful thing in the whole world.
So, I discovered Abraham-Hicks in November of 2007 - a little less than a year ago - thanks to enjoyparenting.com and my friend Amy at transformationalparenting.com. Abraham was like an answer to prayers. I love Abraham. And although my healing since finding them has been phenomenal I can’t help feeling like their processes are not enough. I can’t help feeling that I there is resistance that is impeding me, and until I can blow through the resistance I will never find the complete peace - I will never realize all my desires.
For example, I would like to lose about 60 pounds, but I am quite aware that I sabotage that desire *every* day. I am also quite aware that I have a fear of being thin, because if I am thin I may be desireable to men, and being desireable to men makes me profoundly unsafe. I wanted to write here that intellectually I know that is not true, but I can’t. I can’t convince myself that it would be safe to be thin. lol. I guess this fear is not so ‘unconscious’. It’s right up there in the front of my mind since I uncovered it — now how do I get rid of it? I have been unable to do it through Abraham’s processes.
It’s like my neural pathways that this fear runs on is so deeply ingrained I can’t get rid of it. No matter what. Enter holosync. I know - I really do. I think.
Holosync has different effects for different people, and all the reviews I have read so far seem to be from people who have not had a lot of trauma in their lives - or at least not the level that I have had - or maybe this is just a belief of mine that made it so intense for me this first time. I don’t know, but my first experience with holosync was not pretty. And I am overjoyed
this is what is going to do it for me. This is what is going to make everything else I am doing actually *work*. This is going to work in a way nothing else every could for me. I am so happy I found it (through an email from this site - thanks Evy.
I had a question about what kind of activities could be planned for a Little Einsteins Themed Party or Birthday Party. How about …
Rocket Races - All the kids do the ‘pat, pat, pat on their knees and when they lift their arms in the air to make rocket take off they all run as fast ast they can to a point and back.
Theme song - this is a great theme song to sing - my son used to love to sing it. Just get everyone in a circle and sing it.
Pin (or tape) the engine on Rocket - get someone who has some drawing ability to draw a big rocket without an engine - then draw the engine from construction paper. Color everything - blindfold the kids and have them try to pin the rocket engine on rocket - you could also draw or print pictures of the Little Einsteins and have the kids try to get them in the rocket windows.
Little Einsteins treasure hunts - Break the kids up into groups of four and have them go on a simple treasure hunt, Little Einsteins style.
Little Einsteins Pinata - here’s one, or make your own in the shape of rocket.
Please share your ideas!
We bought a Dicapac Underwater Camera case on Ebay several months ago. We live in Hawaii and go snorkeling a lot in salt water. We bought it for a Casio Exilim EX-Z60 but according to the manufacturer website it works for many, many cameras.
What it is is a roughly camera-shaped flexible housing that has a lens and a clear side so you can see your picture in the digital camera screen. You can press buttons anywhere on the top and back of the camera fairly easily - just press them throught the material.
So, we used it many times over the case of 4 or 5 months. We found it to be completely waterproof and easy to use. Sometimes the case, because it is flexible and made to generally fit many cameras, would slip and we would find our pictures showed part of the case in them, but just squeezing the camera around within the case would fix this.
Eventually, ours started to leak just a teeny tiny bit and we threw it away. Our camera was not damaged at all - it was just a tiny leak. We rarely rinsed it after salt water use so that may have been the issue. All in all I say it was a good deal for the money and we definitely got our money’s worth out of it. We’re buying another now.

below is the list of cameras it is supposed to fit.

Abraham of Abraham-Hicks was probably the first being in our current reality to tell people about the Law of Attraction, using those words (the words were first uttered to Jerry Hicks somewhere around 1986, as far as I can gather).
Abraham says that we need only offer one clear signal, thought, or vibration about desiring money, without any contradicting thoughts about the lack of money and money must come to us through the crack of least resistance, whatever that is for us. I believe everything Abraham says with my whole heart, so what this means is if you could get focused on desiring money, lots of money, and never ever think about not having enough money then the money would be yours swiftly.
In order to truly use the Law of Attraction in this way you would appreciate the money you have purely, and this appreciation would attract more money into your experience. You could do a Book of positive aspects on the money already coming into your experience or a rampage of Appreciation on the money already coming into your experience - and then be careful to offer no other thoughts or vibrations on the subject.
Now, we as humans mostly think we have to justify the money coming into us - we have to expend X amount of energy for X amount of dollars, and if we are not expending X amount of energy we don’t expect that money to come in, and that non-expectation is a contradictory vibration.
So, what Mike Dooley of Leveraging the Universe and Engaging the Magic says is that we must do what we can from where we are with what we have. Do your appreciation processes, do your visualizations, but do whatever else you can too! This is the justification in our minds. Go out and buy that lottery ticket, think of some money-making ideas, ask people you know if they have any good ideas, distribute your resume.
Abraham also says to clearly define what you want, and this defining process can be part of your attraction process. You can write down exactly what you want - like your own business that is fulfilling to you, makes X amount of dollars, doesn’t tie you down, etc. While you mull over these qualifications for a while, the universe will start pulling circumstances and events together to make it happen for you. Then you just need to travel towards the circumstances and events in time and space - and not scatter them to the four winds or push them along in time and space ahead of you by thinking contradictory thoughts.
I used to think that there was no way that anyone could make LOTS of money by continuing to do their day job, and do the same exact thing they’ve always done but Byron Katie in Question Your Thinking, Change the World says
You could take any job, anytime, and except for your belief systems, money is not a problem. You can work in a hamburger joint and make minimum wage. And if you just hold on to your integrity, without any beliefs as to how that should look, eventually you could own the whole chain. Because we’re attracted to that kind of integrity, and money cant’ buy it, so we will give anything to be in your presence.
Makes perfect sense to me. Mike Dooley tells a story in Leveraging the Universe about how he knows a man who started as a busboy in a restaurant and within a year was running it, and he did it with that kind of integrity.
Please share your stories or opinions about Making lots of money with the Law of Attraction. Thanks!
Or, read more on making lots of money with the law of attraction at today is that day - really good stuff here. Or, watch this video about inspired action - inspired action is how I got my home business going before I even knew what it was. I just really, really wanted to work from home for myself and I followed every path I could think of for years till it worked :). And, one more good article on making money with the law of attraction here.
Ok, so by the Law of Attraction, good things come to me when I feel good, and bad things come to me when I feel bad, so in order to have good things come to me, I must feel good first - but wait! It’s always seemed to me that in order to feel good I have to have good things come to me - what to do?!
Keep Working At It - Keep Reaching
I have recently noticed that when I get on a negative spiral, or when I get down too far then I can try and try and not really get myself back up as far again, within that same day. However, if I keep trying and trying then the next day I can start off fresh and be back up within the emotional range of where I had been getting used to.
This also works negatively - if I have a really good day, but something negative gets me before I go to bed and I don’t purposely get back into my good vibe before I fall asleep, then I wake up way down on the emotional scale and I may not be able to pull myself out until the very next day.
It feels really crappy to feel crappy these days so I am willing to put in the work - I have found that I just need to keep trying - and as long as I keep reaching for the better feeling thought then I can feel a bit better that day and all the way back to myself the next morning.
One key is to conciously ackcnowledge before I go to sleep - As I sleep all attraction stops. If I can positively attract first thing, before I even get out of bed (lay in bed and feel how great the bed feels and appreciate my room and my house and my good-feeling body) then I will bring more good things to me and feel good all day. And then do it.
Why it’s so Important to Keep Reaching
I think this will change eventually, but for now, possibly because I have practiced the lower emotions for so long I find it harder to get out of them - and my mind is so used to them it is very comfortable circling in guarding and blame and resentment .. so the more I practice the better I get and the better I feel.
And, the Law of Attraction can only give you thoughts that are very similar to the ones you are thinking right now - so if I go to bed feeling resentful, I am unable to think thoughts of appreciation when I wake. Or, I can find the words, but there is no feeling behind them - so it’s like I am saying “Oh, my bed is so comfortable” but the Universe hears “Oh, I’m so angry”. I’m pasting these words I want to feel over the vibration or thought form or beingness of what I really feel. It doesn’t seem to work.
We, as a society ruin our children - we steal their joy, we repress their emotions, we make them doubt themselves, we make them feel badly about themselves. Here’s how we do it.
1. We turn children away from their inner guidance, from what their body knows, from the wisdom in their souls and hearts and minds. We teach them that we know better, the schools know better, all adults know better, their bosses know better.
2. We force them to do things they don’t want to do. You must learn soccer, we say. You said you wanted this sandwich, now you must eat every last bit! we say. You must go to school, we say. You are unable to learn what you need to know to survive in this world unless it is force-fed to you, we say.
3. We don’t let them make themselves feel better. We thwart the natural therapy of feeling their emotions and turning their attention to something that makes themselves feel good. Quit fidgeting! Put that down! Pay attention to me!
In another post, I shared some ways I get myself feeling better - and feeling better is just as important for kids as it is for adults. Being able to make yourself feel better is a much more essential skill to learn than say, the multiplication tables.
One of the best things about children is their joy - their sheer enthusiasm for life and living … and when we do the above three things, we steal their joy. We make the world a dreary and scary place. Life is supposed to be fun, it’s supposed to feel good. Let’s learn how to feel good and never train our children away from how to feel good.
I really want to work in my book of positive aspects that Abraham recommends. I know it is the secret to all that I am wanting in my life. I know that if I can really get a handle on appreciation, then I will find the secret of a happy life. BUT I just keep putting it off! Why? What is my problem?
Well, maybe I am just not ready to appreciate. I’m just not able to fully appreciate yet and that makes it a really hard … or hollow thing for me to sit down and try to do. I’m getting there though - I have glimpses of what appreciation feels like and I like it.
I also kind of think that once I take that leap - once I say, OK, I am now an appreciator, that means I can no longer blame others. That means I fully acknowledge just how in charge of my life I really am. That means I fully admit that I am the one that brought 35 years of pain and suffering on to me. That means I am the one who beat myself, abused myself, made myself fat, screamed and swore at myself. And I did. And when I hate those I think did these things to me I really hate myself. And I do.
And I can’t hate myself anymore. Not for one more second. That is over. No one is doing anything to me. Everything is doing everything for me. I am the center of my universe and I am fully responsible for every single nice and nasty thing in it. Me. just me.
Maybe I am not ready to appreciate myself yet and that’s why I keep putting it off … and the second I am ready … BOOM … my world will be heaven.
whoof … maybe THAT’S what I am not ready for yet.
p.s. - I thought of something this morning - when I start appreciating I have to give up all license to complain and pout and that’s not easily done for someone who used to make a way of life out of complaining about a certain thing. It takes a lot of awareness and willingness to stop the usual way of doing things - even when that usual way is so destructive.
I just want to feel better!
Abraham teaches us that nothing is more important than that I feel good. Everything in life that we believe to be good flows, by the law of Attraction, to us only when we FEEL good, so in order to feel good more of the time and have good things happen to us, we must find a way to feel good once - and then hold it for as long as possible.
But HOW?!?! When I feel crappy, how in the world do I make myself feel better?
I used to eat - that actually used to work, but it also left me with much mroe weight than I wanted. How did it work? Probably it got my mind off of what was making me feel so bad and onto the good taste of the food, and the satifying feeling of being full, and the proof of my abundance right there in my hand.
I also used to watch TV - there was nothing I used to enjoy more than sending my husband and my son out of the house and sitting down for an hour of peace and Flavor of Love. This doesn’t work anymore. I tried to watch Flavor of Love earlier for the first time in months and it just made me feel worse - much worse. It probably used to work for me because it also got my mind off of what I was upset about, and it let me compare myself to the people on the show and I felt I came out on top so I got to feel better about myself. It probably doesn’t work anymore because I am trying to become an allower - a non-judger. I have recognized that judging makes me feel bad and makes me judge myself more - and I can’t look for positive aspects when I judge - so TV is out, unless it’s something funny like America’s Funniest Videos and I skip the commercials.
So what does work now?
- Exercise - take a walk - this is something that can frequently help me feel better. But it doesn’t ferret out the cause usually.
Abraham would have us believe we don’t need to ferret out the cause - all we need to do is hold our thought of relief or hold our image of what we are wanting for as little as 68 seconds and we are on our way - but I find that if I don’t deal with the cause, the issue pops up again and again.
- EFT - I have mixed results with this one. It has made me feel better before, and sometimes it has done nothing. I still try it a lot … or whenever I can remember.
Follow your Bliss - this is probably the most important and effective one. Find something you are passionate about and pursue it. Find something to be involved in that makes you feel good and DO IT. I’ve been having a crappy day that followed me from a crappy evening last night and sitting down here, to fill out this website I have such great plans for - this makes me feel good — I feel better! Thank God. I have a very low tolerance for feeling bad these days.
Use an Abraham process - Moving up the Emotional Scale is a good one. This is where you site down with a piece of paper and write down where you are - then try to find a thought that feels a little bit better, then another and another - Law of Attraction will bring you a thought that feels better and better till you can find one that feels GOOD if you just sit down and attempt to move from a negative attracting to a positive attracting.
Ok, since I feel so much better I am off to work on my plans for the day. What makes YOU feel better?
