New Direction
During the last 3 months I think I walked on a not so fruitful way so I have to go back to the techniques I used in April-May.
I remember last year I wanted to be able to go in Focus 10 with the Gateway Experience Audio-course, it took me 2 months to achieve Focus 10 (the state of mind awake and body asleep), in case you are not familiar with the Gateway Experience it is a course to learn to explore area of consciousness such as:
Focus 10: Mind awake and alert / body asleep. The first step in separation of human mind-consciousness from physical matter reality.
Focus 12: A state of expanded awareness
Focus 15 :A state where time is not perceived
Focus 21 : Equivalent to the deep delta state (this is when we are deep asleep) at the difference that the mind is fully awake.
In order to achieve Focus 10, I had to do two sessions per day of Gateway Experience Wave 1 (the first CD set)
One in the morning and one at night before I went to sleep, after, two months of that regime I was able to go in Focus 10 , vegan diet seems also to help to promote good condition for that state to appear.
Other students confirmed me that two sessions a day is the way to go with some energy wok (tai chi) in the middle it can’t fail. The track for me particularly good to reach Focus 10 were Advanced Focus 10 and Exploration Sleep, however, I know someone who prefer to use the track called ‘Introduction to Focus 10’ to reach that state. Introduction to Focus 10 is the first lesson in the CD set Wave 1 after the presentation.
Another thing I wanted to master last year was the Love Meditation or sending out love as explained in Klaus Joehle book Living on Love: The messenger.
I had to change my daily routines I couldn’t do two sessions of the Gateway Experience anymore. I wasn’t particularly good at sending out love so I decided to take the bull by the horns, I gave the best of me to master this I did 4 hours per day from August 2006 to November 2006.
I had no time for other type of meditation, when time I allowed it I did some energy work (tai chi).
In November 2006 I reached great efficiency with that love meditation, I could focus on a pain in my body , send love energy to it from my heart chakra, and feel the pain fade away. I had also fantastic dreams at that time. However, my ego rebelled and I slowed down, changed the structure of my program and never went back to that high level however I stayed at relatively high level compared to other people doing that kind of stuff. It was high enough to affect the people I met at that time.
I kept experimenting with new techniques and way of doing my stuff by April 2007 , I find a new framework that gave me also great experiences.
That new framework heavily rely on energy work and kundalini in that framework when I do the love meditation I raise energy into my brain. This way of doing things brought me some surprise for instance, I find out that using affirmation in that state was extremely effective , I was also able to reach a state associated to Focus 10 called the 3D blackness.
The top experience was the fact that instead of feeling an emotion I could be it or in another words feel the emotion from all area of my beingness.
That was in May 2007 since then I changed again the structure of doing things and I lost many or most of the things I gained previously like the guidance I received in my dreams at that time.
Starting today I went back to a routine similar to the one I had in April-May I also decided that instead of changing the structure of the program when I reach a high point, I will stick to it and transcend that high point and explore what is beyond it.
So my new program is something like:
Energy Work ( 40 minutes with 5 minutes of chi breathing )
Chi/pranic breathing (10 minutes)
Love Meditation with Kundalini raising (Ying chi raising) ( 1 hour)
Gateway Experience one session with Sleep Exploration (35 minutes)
Love Meditation with Kundalini 
raising (1 hour)
I will probably add two more exercises to that program I will see how I can adjust I will certainly have interesting stories to tell in the coming months.

Hey Louis!
Thanks a lot for this post, it is really helpful. Currently I’m struggling to achieve Focus 10, unfortunately with limited success so far. I either fall asleep or can’t concentrate at all. Your advice from one of your previous post about eye mask and quality headphones seems to help a bit though. This post inspired me to set up a regular twice-a-day routine, maybe increased frequency will help.
I also want to say that I’m your regular reader and the topics you write about are very interesting. All the best and keep them coming!

Hi Kasia, concentration is always difficult it demands practice, try some slow deep breathes.
It also important not to try too hard.
Trying too hard prevents you to go in deep relaxation due to tension.
Thanks for your message it is always nice to hear from regular readers.

Concentration….
I had some concentration problems when I first started doing meditations. So I started with a relaxation meditation where i just let go of my self not thinking too much if it is working or not. I did the relaxation meditation twice daily for about 45 days and after that concentration problems became minimal.
You are a wonderful loving spirit Louis!… doing a great job of lifting our consciousness! I m going to jot down a few things that might help you move forward on your journey.
Energy work by Robert Bruce ( you might have already read it otherwise its a great read )
Do check out OSHO & Paramahansa Yogananda
Both teachers have some great books…that you might want to read
With love,

Hey Louis,
Great blog, not that I am very experienced in blogs as a whole though lol. Anyway I have just started in the last week “The Gateway Experience” and have visited the Monroe Ins website a few times and seen some awesome cds there too. As I use my IPOD to listen to the sessions, I had wondered if you could get the hemi sync on itunes which is what led me to your blog in the first place
I am only up to Discovery 3 so far but although I meditate regularly, have already noticed someting different about myself, it is like when I am at work, I feel really connected with people more so than before, and ideas for solving every situation for the best of all parties involved just pop into my head. Also due to my age (49) I have been experiencing word muddles but since starting with the hemi sync not only has this been reduced but also I find almost the opposite and I find myself saying things that make a lot of sense, but also feel like they have come from somewhere else???
Anyway I have emailed the Monroe Institue with a question and as you are experienced with the course wondered, if you knew the answer also?
Basically, with the instant connections to Focus 10 and also to get the Rebal set up, do you know if you can do either of this although the most important one for me being Rebal, either standing or sitting down?
I have found the Intro to Focus 10 amazing and on once occassion it felt like I was kind of lifting off the bed, and I could feel my hands get really light also!
Having experienced a lot of similar programs over the years personally I have found hemi-sync to be the best. I could not get on with Dick Sutphens stuff, it just doesnt work for me for some reason.
Anyway, nice talking with you, and if you get a chance to let me know re the question that would be brilliant!
If I get an answer from the Institute I can drop a note her if you think anyone might be interested.
All the best
Namaste
