Welcome to Melissa Thinks Out Loud. Be sure to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Five months ago I began using Centerpointe’s Holosync Meditation program. The technology employed by Centerpointe to create the meditation experience is exclusive to them, and it makes entering a deep meditative state effortless. In addition, once you are in that state your brain becomes more balanced between its two hemispheres, which leads in the long term to a much more balanced you. Through consistent use of the program the technology helps you to clear out emotional and mental blocks that, using traditional meditation techniques, could take years of hard work to remove.
Please keep in mind that this is by no means a quick fix, and it is a large commitment. As I said in my initial review of the program, one of the things that attracted me to Holosync is that it was meant to be a process that continues over a long period of time. While you could move on from Awakening Prologue 1, which is the first set in the program, after 14 weeks of use, founder Bill Harris is quick to point out that this is not a race. You should know when it is time to move to the next level by how you are reacting during the meditation. If you are still falling asleep, having emotional upheavals or physical reactions during the meditation, you are not done with that level yet.
So Far So Good
That’s where I seem to be. I manage to stay awake throughout the CD most nights now, which is an improvement, but I know I still have work to do. Some nights my mind wanders pretty blissfully, but at least three nights a week I become agitated at some point during the CD. I get this overwhelming desire to jump up and run. This tells me that I have hit a block in my psyche that needs to be cleared. I resist the urge to move and remain still. I focus on my breathing and talk to myself, picturing a cleansing happening in my mind. I envision the technology as a type of pipe snaking tool clearing out my neural pathways of the legacy left behind from years of anxiety and depression. Slowly the agitation subsides.
Another funny side effect, which Bill Harris explained on one of the many generous additional CD’s he provides with the program, is a pinprick sensation somewhere on your body. It as if one specific nerve ending is being triggered and it feels like someone is sticking a pin into your flesh. Normally I would rub that area or move my body around to rid myself of the sensation, and at the beginning that’s what I did. Then I listened to the Q&A audio and discovered that this too was a sign of cleansing. So now I remain very still and allow the sensation to build until it suddenly disappears. I say a word of thanks for the cleansing, and wish the released energy well as it moves on to its next destination. Clearly we were not meant to be together any longer
Holosync in My Daily Life
Now that I’ve told you about my nightly experiences with the program itself, I will catch you up on how I see it working in my everyday life. At first, as I mentioned in my original article, what I noticed was that I was doing more straightening up, which was odd. While I have not become a neatnik by any stretch of the imagination, I do find that I am craving more order in my surroundings. My ability to mentally focus on tasks has greatly improved, and my tendencies towards jumping from thing to thing are leveling off. I’m still a master multi-tasker, but I seem to be getting more tasks completed as I am focusing on each one through to completion more easily. Also my commitment to myself as a person has grown tremendously. That might sound like a stretch because I have obviously been committed to my self improvement for many years, but I’m talking in particular about a commitment to my physical body.
I’ve never had much of a problem seeing the spiritual side of myself, but in many ways my body was this kind of meat suit that I was forced to exist in. I suspect that’s why I have not always treated my physical self with the kindness and love it deserves. Since I began Holosync in June, I can honestly see that I have changed in that area. I look at myself in the mirror now, or in pictures, and I really love the body that I see there, not just the soul. I feel like I am more in tune with my physical self, and I understand the signals jt sends better. I can honestly say that I believe that my ability to adapt so easily to my new Gluten Free/Dairy Free lifestyle is because I can hear my body telling me that it feels good. I no longer ignore the signals from my gut when it tells me a certain food is hurting it. I am more aware of the processes my body is going through as well. I can sense when something I have eaten is creating a chemical reaction in my body either for good or for bad.
Another outcropping from my new body awareness is that I am becoming aware that the chronic pain in my lower back has a very strong emotional component to it. Although there is most certainly extensive physical damage to that area, as I am meditating I am becoming aware of some kind of nervousness or hyper sensitivity in that area. Whether or not my meditation alone is going to be enough to blast through that block remains to be seen, but I had never believed it to be anything more than several physical injuries compounded. Now I realize I may need to begin some extensive energy work to heal that which I believed could never be healed. I suspect there is some very strong, deep seated emotion in this pain, and I need to do some study to learn if there are specific emotions or traumas that become trapped energetically in the lower back. If anyone reading does this type of energy work or could point me to some resources I would be eternally grateful!
I am Sticking With Holosync
I will be honest and say that there have been times over the past five months where I have slacked off and/or decided to give up on Holosync. Then I would remember how good the meditative state felt and I would dive back in. I suspect that these moments of negativity towards the program had to do with emotional blocks that were in fear of being eradicated. That might sound way too metaphysical for some of you, but I think the mind is a far more complex entity than we truly suspect, and I think it will do whatever it takes to defend and protect the status-quot. Sensing some significant change about to come, my mind may have sent out negative messages about the program to keep me from making that change. In other words, some part of me deep inside may not have been ready and willing to part with its pain, anger or fear. I understand that, but I also know that the higher part of me knows better and understand that those negative emotions need to go.
Knowing that, I know that I will continue with Holosync, and when I am ready I will move on to the next level I will do so gladly.

Awesome Melissa! :O) Thanks so much for sharing that it has parallels with how I felt when I was in the early stages of the holosync process :O)
Hi Melissa.
It’s good to read your experiences of Holosync. I have been reporting on my progress of Holosync too and it’s nice to get another persons experience of it.
I’m curently on Awakening Level 1. I actually moved onto Level 2 then realized I had done so before I was ready, so I moved back to the last CD of Level 1.
I don’t generally get a great feeling from the meditation, but I am aware that it’s not actually about good feelings, but healing really and healing can be uncomfortable. It’s not all discomfort though. I have found it has helped me transform my life, especially my creativity (I am a songwriter) and also given me the courage to do move to another country and start a new life pursuing my passion (music).
As Bill Harris would say… Be well!
Robs last blog post..Awakening Level One October 2008
Yes!
The most awesome thing is that this stuff REALLY WORKS. I find so much of the feeling tone of my experience right now is one of a very strong desire to become lighter. One of letting go, letting go, letting go!
I find also that my area of greatest change recently is my image of myself and the value of the creative work I do as a visual artist.
Thank you for your post on Bill Harris’s blog it reminded me that I was long overdue on moving on to the next level of holosync.

I envy you your commitment and your awakening. It can only give you a better life and it will!
Hi Melisa
I am currently coming to the end of my first year with Holosync, and am currently on disk 3 level 1.
I was interested in your comments on slacking off and giving up on the programme. I myself was challenged by my ego when I was on awakening prologue to do the same.
Before Holosync I had very little patience and could not stand in a waiting que for anything. I also became angry very easily and my tolerance on most things was very low.
However having stayed with the programme and let whatever happens be ok I have now changed completely. My ego is now srinking everyday and my patience for everything has amazed not only myself, but also family and friends, who have noticed a definate change for the better in me.
I have suffered from chaos as I have progressed through the programme especially changing from disk 1 to 3, but Im glad to say I am now entering a period of calm.
It has been amazing as I have experienced the periods of chaos and upheavel how much I have learned about my old self, and how I can now move forward without the restrictions of my old limiting beliefs.
Stick with the programme and be aware of your ego telling you that you dont need to do this or that, my ego is no longer in the driving seat as before.
Take care and please email me if you would like to share your experiences with me as you progress through the programme.
All the very best

Hi Melissa and all,
I have using been using Holosync daily for 4 years come this December. So far it has been a profound journey. Currently on Purification Level 3, disc 1. My experience with it has been along the lines of what Centerpointe says - if your stuff doesn’t come up sooner - it will later. (Sooner is definitely better). For me, experience with core issues began at the beginning of this year with the commencement of Purification Level 2. Uncovered significant emotional and physical trauma at the age 2-4 and have been able to completely understand why my life has unfolded as it has. I also now have come to have some understanding what the pupose of this lifetime is - both personally and for larger perspectives.
May you all have an easy, joyful process with Holosync. Rest assured you have taken this on for very important reasons and I honor you all for it.
Should you run into challenges, I do recommend going back and reading the manual that came with Awakening Level 1 - “Management of Evolutionary Change” - all of the answers are in there. It didn’t mean much when I read it the first time. It has been an essential tool in the last 10 months. The is also the Centerpointe call hot line.
Thank you, Melissa, for starting this blog. It will be of help to a lot of participants. I found your link from your post on Bill’s lates Blog on the state of the economy.
Take Care and Blessings to All,
Greg
Greg, Thanks for your comment because it has reminded me of a few things and given me some insight into some stuff that has been going on for me lately.
It also reminds me that I won’t always feel like things are changing, but at a deep level things are moving.
Thank you.
Rob
Robs last blog post..Are You Hopeless or Helpless?
Hiya, Melissa & all,
How lovely to find this website. I found it from Bill’s latest blog as Greg did & although I always love what Bill has to say, I find it very benificial to hear what other people’s experince with the program are.
I have only been using holosync now for about 2 & 1/2 months & am so impressed with the changes im feeling already. I have along history of alcohol abuse, I have been to AA for 5 years before & stopped but picked up again after 5 years because I was still desperatly unhappy inside.
What I am finding in just the past 2 & 1/2 months is that im starting to appreciate myself , much more. I still have the occasional bender, but everytime I come out of it, the desire to change my life is that much stronger. I believe (and from what im hearing from others), is that ive finally found something very special that can get me back into life & loveing again. Thank you all.
Best Wishes,
Jem.
@Jeremy,
Stick with both Holosync and your AA program. Together they will set you free. My late husband was a recovering alcoholic and addict and one thing that we found that was truly helpful was changing where he went to his meetings. Some groups seemed to have a perpetually depressed atmosphere and others were very positive and focused on the great things in life that were so much more enjoyable when clean and sober.
I wish you peace on your journey

@Gregory,
Thanks for the reminder to go check out the written materials. Always a good refresher!
melissas last blog post..Holosync Update
bdusvnll6ltgn7i3
Melissa -
Thanks for blogging - I’ll be checking back on you and Bob (www.neuralreconditioning.com). I’ve been using holosync since Dec 2007 and will probably start level two in the next couple of weeks. I’ve been hungry to hear about other people’s experiences with Holosync.
For myself, I’ve been waking up an hour or so earlier than a year ago and turning it the CD player. I tend to drift back to sleep and suspect the process will take longer than Bill recommends, since I’m not “fully engaged and meditating”.
But I work for a large financial company and invest in the stock market, and have been surprisingly calm, while others around me appear to be freaking out.
I’m attributing this to the daily use of Holosync. My spouse tells me that I’m much more verbal and I hear more music inside my head, but I don’t know how much I have changed.
I did have some challeges when I tried to move too fast through the program. I experienced very emotional outbursts when I moved from Level 1 disk 2 to disk 3. It COMPLETELY eliminated any remaining doubts about the power of Holosync.
During this time there was a lot of upheaval around my job situation. After 20+ years of working in the financial district, I was transfered to a very small, suburban office of my firm. It looked, smelt and felt like a demotion - although there was no title or pay change.
I guess I’m not far enough along in the program to relax and let it whatever time it needs. Thanks for sharing your story now and in the future.

Hi Elizabeth
I read your recent comment with much interest with regards moving through the programme too fast.
I had the exact same experience with emotional outbursts so I know how you must have felt. My partner also struggled but she had aggresive outbursts mixed with emotional upheaval.
We have stayed strong together and let everything be ok and watched with interest what is going on. However it has been hard at times yet we have learned so much about ourselves it really has been an incredible journey.
Someone else I know on the programme is on Awakening Prolouge and they have put the programme down for a short time as the upheavel they experienced was too much to bear and they could not cope with it.
However they are now in the process of starting again as they have been in touch with centerpointe.
It would be great to share your experiences as you progress through the programme as you are at the same point of the programme as myself. I see you started in December 07. I started on the programme in November 07.
Please feel free to email me any time at markwilmore@btinternet.com if you would like to share your experiences as you progress through to the next levels. It would be great to hear about your different experiences as you progresss through to the next levels.
If anyone else reading this comment would like to contact me then please do so, as it is great to hear from any fellow holosync participants.
Take care everyone.
Bye for Now.
MARK
To All,
Just a few comments on going too fast - Bill Harris definitely cautions against this and for good reason. Besides triggering emotional upheaval, the benefits of evolving in a progressive manner are mitigated. From my own experience, following the directions for progressing to the next level is essential. At the level I am at now (Purification Level 3 - see above) - I take extra time with each CD, even if I am “ready” according to the criteria given by Holosync instructions - because there are additional benefits to allowing more time for the central nervous system to adjust and “soak up” the level I am at.
This is not a race. It is a journey.
I hope this advice is of help.
All the Best,
Greg
Melissa - great insight and commentary, I used Holosync for years with similar results. .. if anyone out there needs a break for a month or two consider a winter decompression in paradise http://www.thehiddenjamaica.com
Hi Melissa,
Just wondered if you were still doing Holosync and how things were going.
I have been taking Centerpointe’s Life Principles Integration Course and find it really rocks. The course work does compliment the Holosync program - at whatever level you are at.
Hope all is well with you.
All the Best,
Greg Gagarin
