Actually, I think that my brain knows how to operate itself without help better than I ever could, and most things like meditation wouldn’t really help.
I know I’ve already posted in this topic, but I think I forgot to mention this.
toadstool, i am curious, what kind of frequencies you listen to while meditating with binuaral beats?
Actually I think your brain knows how to operate you. There is a big difference.
Mabus: I use sbagen and the prewritten sequence files for the most part. I also created a few of my own. Generally I use the the Chakra sequence, theta sequence, focus-10 and night time sequences.
I use these all at different times. I usually use the theta and chakra while I am doing something else, then I continue to meditate with them for about 15 min, then I sit in silence and listen to the frequencies that ahve been created in my head from the beats.
Something else to consider is these beat s have very minimal effect on me. I really have to be near sleeping for them to effect me. Then I feel my inner body shifting, I head my chakras, I see only what I can describe as my third eye (brow chakra) and the energy (waves) flowing across my vision as it slowly opens. I usually get too excited at this point, but a few times I have been relaxed and focused enough that it has opened and I have been ripped from my body, or entered a lucid scape.

yeah…, the goal is to have them all going at the same time,. and when you have them all going,… the chakra that is above your head, opens…, and then your supposed to be in total bliss, and be one with the universe,… – something along those lines, but thats the goal,…
toadstool…, i strongly suggest you aim for that, cause you seem to be good at it now
and,. toadstool., if you dont mind…where did you get Your binaural beats from??
I use SbaGen. It can be downloaded at the following website: uazu.net/sbagen/
This program doesn’t have a GUI, but if you are using windows, just try dragging one of those files onto the program and it will start running.
Mmm Toadstool i feel my chakras, and when u fall into deep sleep then the solar plexus becomes the dominant one. delta waves are linked to this one.
I dont have to listen to them. Breathing is the pump for all chakras, i let my head falls sleep and my hands are on my stomach…plexus…and emptyness and breathing/chi flow through chakras are automatically picked up. I just let myself float into sleep and dreams by letting go.
Well i use a tech i self invented, but to keep it simple i just tell this.
What i do is splitting consciousness, one part falls a sleep and one part stays but empty.
I can go from waking to dreaming, into deep sleep and even lower, the stage of a NDE and back up again.
As i said, in the delta deep sleep stage of sleep, the solar plexus becomes dominant.
Jeff
you lie jeff 
I don’t know all too much about them, I’ve just been exploring them since I started playing with binaural beats.
I’ve also read that breathing is the pump, but when I breath and try to imagine my chakra I get absolutely nothing. However when I breath and listen to my binaural beats sometimes my chakras surface on their own when I take off my head phones and lay for a while.
I also experienced something interesting after using binaural beats over night. My girlfriend called my one morning and when I was talking to her I could her my chakras through her voice on the phone. I mean to say that it was her voice, but it was like it was masked byt he sound of the chakras. (she asked me why i was being weird… lol)
I am also curious if you are familiar with the distinct sounds of the chakras (for me they are less sounds, but feelings that seem to vibrate inside my head that I can hear because of the vibrations). For example the heart chakra sounds and feels like a rapidly beating heart.
My final early morning rant would be to ask you to explain how you do this more, because it sounds like you are prety good at operating your brain.
I’m so glad you said this, toadstool. It is something I have been figuring out for myself in the past couple of weeks. I was calling it brain clutter.
The past two nights I have let all thoughts go before sleep. I had many dreams, but I can’t remember them. 
I look forward to reading more of your posts.
Love
Last night I had a huge breakthrough with non-chemically altered states of conciousness and lucid dreaming. Like I had said before I had a feeling that the binaural beats would be more effective if I had some kind of leadnig voice to lead the experience, and I was completely right.
Last night I downloaded the lucid dream curse (a hyposis mp3) from warpmymind.com (watch out, this site is in general fucked up, but I found the link to it else where on this forum). I laid down and started listening to it with my sbagen focus-10-a.sbg file turned up to medium volume, so that I could hear the guy talking on the mp3 clearly.
The experience started out very slowly, but as he guided me into a hypnotic state(something that has never happened without the binaural beats), my body started to disapear. I woudl get rushes of my inner body shifting, and hear and feel vibrations. This started at only 10 min into the session.
Toward the 15 min mark of the session I entered dream states, felt my body floating over my body, and all sorts of altered states. At one point I thought a huge mosquito was on my nose and jumped.
Some thing else that can be useful on that web site are the hypnosis scripts. I am planning on mimicing those scripts and creating my own hypnosis sessions for things like my chakra and to induce lucid states, in conjunction with my binaural beats.
I hope this is helpful for some of you! I know that I really feel like I’ve had a break through, and I can’t wait to experiment again tonight and one of the mornings(you are more mental strong in the morning, because you aren’t so tired from a long day) this weekend.
This is a quote from something i posted on another forum, but is essential another essential part in why I believe that learning to operate you brain is so important (from awareness, counciousness and lucidity)
Last night I was in an argument with my girlfriend (it is that time of the month, and sometimes it is hard to understand where the horomones take her)… but that isn’t the point… the point is that durin the conflict I started to feel vibrations… and became drowsy… I let the situation drop as much as posible and felt in a very hypnotic state (similar to those achieved witht he binaural beats).
I’m not sure what the relavence of this is, but clearly when you are angry or upset you are experiencing an altered state of counciousness. Perhaps in this state I was more ready to percieve thing, or maybe I have altered my altered states?
Any one know about the physiological effects of anger etc?
Hi toadstool,
your comments about knowing one your true self are all very correct. I have read about Zen/Meditation/the mind a lot and i know 100% what your talking about.
And that is really fantastic that you can do so many things with your mind, like using your chakras etc. But for those people who don’t meditate (or arent able to, like me), its not easy to do what you say.
Im not saying I am 100% not able to meditate and use my mind in another state of awareness, but I am saying it is a very difficult task for me, and until I reach it (which wont be for a very long time) I wont be able to sleep listening to my chakras and having LD’s thereafter instantly.
Thats why those who are not concious of their own self, as much, have to resort to to methods like MILD, WBTB, etc.
But its great that your telling us all this, you are showing us what an awake mind is capable of!

I posted this comment under hypnosis, but it also applies to this, and since I am just keeping track of my “research”…
I’m not an expert by any means. In fact, I suck at it. Two LDs a week may just be from thinking about it all the time.
But then again if I was just trying to have LDs then this topic would clealry fit under another topic, not its own. I’m more interested in getting stuck between both worlds like Jeff was talking about, and being able to posibly control the functions of yor brain. 
I really wish jeff would layout some of his experience 
I meditate often and I have to agree with Jeff.
I do pick up solar plexus when I’m in delta waves. It becomes very dominant. Very dominant. The key is to let everything go, but be one with breathing at the same time… and be empty too. As Jeff said, spliting consciousness helps a lot with deep trances.
Anyways, I discover that it’s not a need to control or alter my mind even though I meditate often. It’s more like compromising and understanding the deep itself, the subconsciousness. You cannot deny that subconsciousness do have a function in controlling your consciousness in a way. Also, subconsciousness is who you are. It’s deep in your subconsciousness. If you’re not ready for this trance, you won’t be able to get into this trance unless you’re ready for it. Also, when you’re really ready for it, everything seems to become easier. That happened to me before. It was impossible for me to reach Delta waves, but then one day, I was in it all of a sudden. It was easy. It shocked me. It was weird, but yes I got there.
I must say that the key of greater control over your trances is feeling. Purely feel where you are at. Purely feel your breath. Purely feel your charkas. Feel and at the same time, be empty. Easier said than done. Also practicing makes perfect.
I just had to jump in and say a bit more about it. 
Hopefully it is helpful. 
Can you guys describe how you lower your brainwaves? It is easy for me to enter trance states with my wave generator, but… Is it the breathing?
Sometimes I notice that I don’t feeling like I am breathing at all anymore. Then when I notice this it feels like I am choking, so I have to counciously focus on my breathing. I think this is associated with the lower brainwaves, because it is once I get deep into the trance.
Dm7 do you hear noises when crossing in between the two worlds?
I just let myself fall asleep while I focus on breathing. I use splitting consciousness technique to lower my brainwaves. I don’t use any type of sounds or wave generator like you said. I’m deaf so I have to do it on my own anyways. Yes it’s partly breathing.
When I meditate, my breathing start to become automatic then next thing I know, I’m so one with it that I don’t even need to breath. I can just totally forget about breathing and be still totally fine.
I do hear a lot of noises. It really depends where I am in. If I go for beyond delta waves, then I usually hear roaring or music sounds. If I’m either in theta (dreaming) waves or at beginning of delta waves, I hear rythmic sounds. That sound, I focus on it… it helps me to go into a deeper trance.
Hopefully everything is a bit clearer for you? Please let me know.
Dm7,
This is so cool! Might I ask a personal question, please? I was wondering if you were born deaf? I was wondering about the music you hear. 
I have enjoyed reading your posts for a while now. I’m glad you are here.
Love
GreenEyes,
Thanks… that means a lot to me.
Well, theorically, being born 3 months premature got me deaf. I think I was able to hear just fine just before they gave me strong antibotics. That’s what might caused me to be deaf.
Music I hear… it’s usually smooth and have a lot of “happiness” to it. It’s hard to explain. 
Any more questions? 
yeah you areen’t too bad at operating your brain… try to elaborate
