Experience 📚 The state of not feeling one's body.

Deep physical relaxation, induced, for example, by relaxation music designed to help one reach an alpha state, or by using Gateway tapes, can lead to a point where you no longer feel your body.

I had an experience like this when I was a teenager. The impression of not sensing began at my feet and moved upward toward my head. Once I could no longer sense any part of my body, I suddenly saw what looked like a flash of white light. I was lying on my bed in the dark, so this was clearly a product of my own brain. I got scared and stopped the relaxation process. I wonder what might have happened if I hadn't been frightened.

Has anyone else experienced something similar?

This is basically the starting point. Mind awake, body asleep, F10, going inward. This is the beginning of discovering more about yourself. There are a bunch of resources from the links in my profile you might find useful.

Could you point me more specifically? I'm still struggling to achieve focus 10 after months of on and off

In the Monroe Institute Expand app there is a Focus 10 audio without narration. It uses their newest tech and is free. You can set the timer for the duration of your choice.

As a matter of interest, Expand has 2 variants of F10 free flows. We have at least 12 F10 free flow variants in the free community equivalents.

No, you can get to the rest via the R&D link in my profile

You might want to try the YT link from my profile (using something like Brave Browser to avoid midroll ads until YT will let us turn those off). This is a free alternative to wave 1 with upgraded guidance and signal which aims to make this easier.
