The end is in sight

[Dreamer]

Well, I can only say I have had some new experiences with level 6. Though not really sure what can be attributed to Brain Ev and what can be attributed to other sources. To repeat old information, I have been diagnosed with ADHD. I was put on Strattera shortly before beginning Brain Ev. The dosage of the medication was raised twice early on and I would go to Psych Central and take their ADHD screening quiz to determine how I was doing. Last month the quiz said I did not have ADHD, which was a mixed blessing as I couldn't be sure if it was because of the medication or Brain Ev or both.

I chose to ask for the medication to be stepped down, which caused a delay in my refill. It has now been almost a week without any medication at all and I am still going through the quiz with steadily improving results. I am wondering if I need to be on medication at all at this point, or whether Brain Ev has 'cured' my condition.

On the other hand, I am now on level 6 of Brain Ev, which is supposed to be a review of sorts of the previous levels. I enjoy listening to the session, currently being on my third day, but there does seem to be a couple of side effects. I now have an almost steady, low grade headache during the day. Not horrible, but irritating. Also, I have had two nights running with almost no sleep. I lay down exhausted, feeling like I will just drop right off, but within half-an-hour I am tossing and turning. Last night I took an OTC sleep aid that usually drops me right off, but there was absolutely no improvement to my sleep.

I cannot be absolutely certain that it is Brain Ev causing my sleeplessness, or the sudden stopping of the Strattera, but my last Pill was taken four days before beginning level 6 and the sleeplessness began the first night after beginning level 6.

I am not sure if I will adjust to whatever is keeping me from sleeping, or will have to go through an entire month without a decent night's sleep. The latter would be rough.

On the plus side, I had a problem come up, how to end a piece of knitting with a finish that would stretch, and had the solution come to me during my tossing and turning. It was very similar to an earlier level where I would receive easy solutions to long standing problems while listening to Brain Ev.

I know I am handling things much better now than I had been doing prior to Brain Ev and am so thrilled to have taken this journey. I also know, which I have also mentioned before, that when I finish I will go through the entire six month journey a second time. This next time I may be able to journal my experiences properly, which was totally beyond me the first time through.

Right now I would say that Brain Ev is one of the best things that ever happened to/for me in my fifty plus years on this planet.

Blessings to all

That's very cool, Dreamer.

It's awesome that you've gained so much from BrainEv, and that such an audio entrainment program can be such a benefit. And it just may be the beginning. Perhaps you've only embarked onto the tip of the iceberg. Self improvement is a continual journey, especially if we actively seek to expand beyond our so-called limits.

The mind is a vast dimension, and consciousness has no limits, and life itself doesn't come with an "official" rule book. Inside that secret space of the heart and mind of every person, you are exactly what you determine yourself to be. I gave up on definitions several year ago because those descriptions were determined by other people. I reached that point where I decided that I was going to define myself, no matter the pronouncements of the "Authority". I claimed my own Authority and never looked back. Pissed off some people, but oh well. Their issue was not my issue.

As for the sleeplessness: Perhaps it's just your internal system going through an adjustment of sorts. Same with the headache. Inner change does have its moments . I hear the sleep audio in the Brain Salon collection is awesome. Maybe something to look into??

I look forward to reading more of your posts. I find that what you say is inspirational, I guess because it's so damn honest and even fearless. You really express a strength that I admire.

Wishing you the very Best, Robert

Awesome results - way to go Dreamer!

Dreamer,

I echo Robert's sentiments. Your story is inspiring. I am just starting and it is just wonderful to read stories like yours.

I hope you can get some sleep soon, though. I got Brain Salon at the same time as Brain Ev and have used Ultra Deep Sleep. I wanted to sleep through the night uninterrupted. I started it at the same time as level 1 (about a week and a half ago) and it worked a couple of times and hasn't a couple of times. So, hit and miss. I can't say if it is level 1 or UDS or something else. There are others who have posted on this on other parts of the forum. If you are curious it may be worth exploring if it doesn't work itself out. I will think good thoughts for you. Lack of sleep can be brutal.

Wishing you all the best as you finish your journey,
KS

Things are still wonderful. Last evening my darling daughter seemed set on trying to start an arguement. I recognised a number of things brought up that once pushed my buttons. I did not even shift out of a state of calmness and managed to calm her down as well WITHOUT GIVING IN ON A SINGLE POINT!

When it was time to settle down I thought about EFT. I'd been reluctant to use that method while going through Brain Ev for fear of accidentally undoing some of the benefits of Brain Ev. I then decided using it to get to sleep shouldn't be a problem, so I went through several rounds just before I lay down and slept amazingly well.

The most surprising thing when I woke up was being able to remember my dreams - which requires a bit of explanation. Normally, if I wake up during a dream or close to the end of a dream I can usually remember it, at least for a while, and Brain Ev has increased the occurance of that happening. This morning I woke up and felt like it had been a 'dreamless' sleep. It was about two or three minutes later I began to remember a dream I'd had during the night, and remembering it in detail. Very odd and totally new experience. 

I no longer foresee any difficulty in completing level 6 as recommended. Well, other than the mild headaches which I am hoping will ease up soon.

Thank you all for you comments and encouragement. It means a lot to me.
Blessings
Dreamer.

Dreamer.....Glad to hear of the positive results. Just like you I'm seeing positive results that I'm not sure if it's BrainEv or other things I've done during this journey or maybe it's because of BrainEv it led me to other things that has resolved many of my issues.  But I have to give a lot of credit to BrainEv as well. Thanks again for keeping us updated on your wonderful progress.

In to my second week of level six. Have had a couple of second thoughts about having used EFT to get to sleep, as now I tend to fall asleep listening to the session which had not been a problem prior.

Spent a long weekend away from home and my computer. Four nights of very poor sleep, sharing a room with a person who sleeps with the TV on. An impossible situation as one or the other of us was not going to be able to sleep.

I've had good results following my intuition, plus had a little help from the universe, in the past few days. I had a sudden urge to go into the local Goodwill, and just happen to see a rack, which I have been looking for for almost a year, and a couple of books in like new condition that my daughter had been looking for. The car needed gas, so I pulled into the station. Pulled up to a pump, which simply did not want to work right. All of the other pumps became occupied while I was fighting with that one, so I decided to skip getting gas at the time. The next day the price had dropped quite nicely. Thank you universe.

Can't point those DIRECTLY to Brain Ev, but following the whole 'thoughts are things' theory, Brain Ev has improved my brain function, which improved my thoughts, which improved my position in the whole Law of Attraction scheme of things.

On other points, though, my diet has gone completely off the rails and I have gained enough weight that I am having difficulty with my jeans. As I am NOT going to buy more I will simply have to lose weight and quickly. I am getting a clearer idea on how addicted to sugar I am right now. I don't know if I will ever be able to completely clear my kitchen of the white powder, as I like to bake my own bread and have yet to find a sugar free recipe for that, but I do need to put an end to the cookies and candies. It is hard to believe there was a time, before my daughter moved in with me, that there were neither cookies, candies, or chips in my home. Now they are a constant and I find myself indulging far too often.

Anyway, I don't seem to be writing about my Brain Ev experience this week, so I will end here.

Another week almost done. I am loving level 6 as much as all of the previous levels. I do have to admit this morning my thoughts during the session were virtually non-stop. I would notice and calm my mind when the thoughts became noticeable, but that only seemed to change the subject. At one point I was astounded at the number of complete thoughts (here is the problem, here is another angle on the problem, here are a couple of solutions, this solution would work best and here is how to apply it) I was having in such a short amount of time. Even half an hour after the session, without writing things down (yet) I can recall most of the solutions I decided to try and plan to get to them as soon as I am done here.

Everything seems to be improving for me right now. The house is getting decluttered, slower than I would like, but now that my thoughts are better ordered it has become much easier to put everything else in order. I probably still keep putting too much on my plate, but prioritizing has gotten better. I am truly a new person since Brain Ev, and could not be happier. I am learning how to follow my intuition and gaining benefits from that and yesterday I was actually able to sit down and watch a TV program without getting up half a dozen times because I just couldn't sit still. That may not mean much to anyone else, but it means a lot to me.

I no longer have any problems with my ADHD, and that is amazing for me. I am finding it much easier to work with my daughter, particularly as I finally got her started on Brain Ev. Now, my daughter is still difficult to live with and our current argument is about her applying for disability. She complains she isn't broken and doesn't need it, with my side being she is in her twenties, is unable to hold down a job due to her instability and I can't afford to continue supporting her as if she is still a child. Before Brain Ev. there would have been shouting matches at least once per day. Now there is calm, even when we disagree.

Things with my man-friend are still rocky, getting better then getting worse, but it doesn't have the emotional toll it used to. I think the idea of moving in together has lost its appeal, but as long as we each have our own place things seem fine.

I have no idea what kind of state I would be in without Brain Ev. There is truly nothing else like it. I really look forward to the end of level 6 and starting over again with level 1 doing the whole six months over again. I can only imagine the improvements that will continue to happen, and am anxious to see how I react to level 1 now that the ADHD is no longer causing my thoughts to bounce around all the time.

Hi Dreamer,

Everything you just described is amazing. What a transformation!! The real gift is in our capacity to enjoy the life we're living, no matter what the circumstances may be at any given time, and it seems that your capacity to do so has blossomed like a flower. I get the feeling that you have a new found comfort with just being able to "Be", in the moment, as it is, and that in itself is true indication of possessing a sense of inner balance and peace.

Amazing!!!

Hi Dreamer

Thank you for sharing that fantastic post!   For someone (me) who is still on level 1, it is inspiring to see such changes as you have gone through.   My children have/had ADHD (one has grown out of it - sort of) so I know what that is like from them.   My hat off to you that BrainEv has helped you to overcome this horrible condition.   I love that you can solve problems so easily, and seemingly to come from all different directions with it - now that has to be an awesome gift to have.

I look forward to your further posts when you start it all over again.   I am just not - no way - looking that far ahead yet!!!   One day at a time for me otherwise I will get overwhelmed, and can't say I like that feeling much!

Congratulations and well done.

Well Dreamer! Absolutely amazing. If I hadn't experienced this 'brain reset' mechanism which BrainEv triggered also in me, I would think you were having us all on. It is an amazing endorsement of BrainEv - just 30 mins of relaxation wrapped in stupendous soundscapes - and so many of us are healing in so many ways.
Good for you! Adieu ADHD; just imagine what your next achievements will be.
You are in my thoughts and I am so so so delighted for you.
Here's to round two and even more whole-brainedness. Bless you, Pure Bliss

I am so happy for you, Dreamer! For an ADHD person to finish something that requires consistent practice for 6 months is a real accomplishment. You deserve all the benefits you have received. Your story is just so wonderful! Onward and upward!

Wasted week? This past week I have had difficulties listening to level 6. I have gone into the session in an agitated state a couple of times, had outside occurrences interrupt the session several times - the phone rang, my dog jumped onto my lap, etc - and today my eyes refused to stay shut but seemed to open on their own. 

I was relatively happy on the day the phone rang, as I was in a visualization when it rang, and after a short conversation I turned the session back on and was immediately back where I had been when I turned the session off.

Still, this week has been one full of frustrations for me. Making plans for my days, but being unable to follow through. On my day off from work I was in a state of exhaustion that had me spending most of the day napping which didn't allow much to get done. Beyond that I feel like I am walking through jello. There has to be a reason for this, and I am now remembering what Robert wrote in his "conversation" thread. On that thought I am wondering what I need to release. I'll have to think on that a bit more today.

You know, the day comes when it finally happens...when we officially become an "adult". Being an adult in life isn't exactly easy. But then, if by chance we're one of "those" adults, the type of adult with a propensity for looking within, and driven to improve the self that we feel we are...well then, "not exactly easy" elevates to a new level of complication. There are those days where the deep end never seems to end.

Clarity isn't a reward given out for good behavior. It's a state of being that's allowed when you finally realize that only so much, in fact very little, can be done in one day. It's just a day. And the next one's coming...if we're so inclined, of course.

Very insightful and well said Robert!  I do believe you have hit the nail on the head..
