Listening tips/ FAQ

"How does Xphirience compare to Holosync, Lifeflow and Hemisync?"

I often get asked to compare Xphirience sounds with Holosync. First of all I never tried Holosync myself because it has 13 levels, a total of 52 CD's (4 per level) and would cost me about $2000 USD for the whole package. I have received emails from some people saying Xphirience sounds are much better, but again, I never tried it and wouldn't even try to compare because it's not the same thing at all.

"What should I do while listening to Xphirience?"

Just close your eyes, relax, and listen to the sound. Let yourself drift away. Sit up or lie down. If you lie down it is easier to relax. Some people have described it as "automatic meditation". It is like they just press Play, close their eyes and lie down and shortly thereafter suddenly discover that they have been completely unaware of their surroundings and body for some time. Often they can not believe that the entire 33 minutes have passed.

"How do I make sure I listen to the sounds the way they are meant to be heard?"

I would recommend  that you use a good pair of headphones. You simply get closer to the sound and you block out surrounding sounds better.  A pair of headphones with a good frequency response is recommended, but absolutely not a must. Don't use any bass boost or any other kind of EQ settings boosting any frequencies. The original sound is perfectly balanced already. If you use in-ear headphones, be aware that they often have a built in bass boost. If the sound has to much bass and you have an iPod, go to settings > EQ and chose 'Bass reducer'. If your headphones give out to much treble, try choosing 'Treble reducer'.

 

"Can I use Xphirience while meditating/ doing Yoga?"

Yes! you can try using it before you meditate, during or after. It seems to slow down the thought pattern and quiet the mind so that you enter a meditative state quickly. If you find that this works in some practice you do then please send me an email and tell about it.

"Is this some kind of hemisync or other brainwave entrainment technique?"

The Bliss Code technique does not use any of this. However, in 'Xphirience Balance Plus', Isochronic entrainment is added.

"Will any of your products help me experience OOBE's (out of body experiences) or lucid dreaming?"

I have received reports from people who had OOBE's after using Xphirience and Xphirience Balance Plus. One individual had his first OOBE in the night after he tried Xphirience for the first time. He even had 3 or 4 of them in the same night. Other similar reports have included being totally aware in the dream state (lucid dreaming). However I am not making any guarantees that this will definitely work for everyone and I have no scientific proof that it happened because of the product, although it really looks like that. Please don't expect that OOBE's will be induced, because this is not a guarantee and I don't want to disappoint anyone.

"Why don't you give out your products for free?"

This is what I do. You could try doing your daytime job without getting any salary. Would it work for you? :-) This website and the development of this product wouldn't be possible if it was free.

"Are there any negative effects?"

Please be aware: This sound can be very powerful, even if it normally has a very natural feel to it. Experienced meditators are aware that negative energy will be released by the effects of meditation and the charge in the energy block will be experienced before it lets go totally and leaves you free from it. These energy releases can be experienced as warm sensations in the body, sudden temporary emotional imbalance, old memories surfacing etc. This is a sign that things are working. It is not dangerous. If you find too much being cleared out at the same time, you can just adjust the time you spend using Xphirience. Less meditation = less clearing. If you want, start out listening a few minutes and see how that feels, in case you are one of sensitive ones, then adjust how much you listen after that. If you have never done meditation before and force yourself to spend long time in meditation, the sudden effects may be a bit much. In those cases, if you force yourself to listen more than you really feel like, you can feel a bit dizzy, light headed, or even nauseous. So what some people think is negative is only negative in the way that we fear emotions, memories or anything that might be cleared out from our subconscious. According to me this is the reason many people stop meditating. Meditation is not running away. It is facing the truth - whatever it may be.

Many people enjoy Bliss coded sound so much that they spend a few hours every day listening because it feels so good. You are free to listen how much you want. My advice it to not overdo it :-)

More Tips from me

- Use good headphones. They don't have to be the best in the world, but as long as they are pretty good it's OK. Make sure you set aside time for yourself and that you will be undisturbed. Turn of the phone etc so that you know you wont be interrupted.

-You can put Xphirience on your MP3 player (if you have one) so you can be anywhere you want while listening. This also allows you to connect a cable from you MP3 player to an  mind machine (audiovisual) if you have one, and have Xphirience playing during your session. This have had some interesting effects!

- If you have problems falling asleep at bedtime. Use Xphirience when in bed. It has helped for a lot of people!

- Don't use any kind of Bass or treble boost etc. Some headphones have built in Bass boost. If you find the bass is too amplified you can fix this by lowering the bass in your EQ settings. On iPod there is a setting named bass reduction.
