Wave 2 - Patterning - Session 1
This is lesson 3. Otherwise known as a month of patterning. I’m not sure why it’s a month, perhaps that’s just a random length. Robert Monroe explains in the instruction book, that you can ask for the pattern to be fulfilled in any time frame, or by a date, or just when ever. I first assumed that it had to be done repeatedly for a month, that’s not what it means.
In today’s language Patterning is Manifesting. Bringing what you desire into the physical of your life. Although personally, I’m not sitting on that one as a physical thing, like a shopping list of stuff. What do I want? Honestly, to be debt free would be nice, to be able to put some new windows in the house, to be able to eat wheat. But I can’t even contemplate how that would even work.
Based on what has been coming through from previous sessions, it feels like the messages are somewhere between something is going on in the world right now, and you need to work on yourself. So trying to manifest anything physical seems like a bit of a dead end. To be able to achieve the sort of physical things, I need to focus on the other aspect of myself. Stopping my procrastination would be a good one! But what I actually chose for this session was to have happiness, harmony and love in my life. Sounds a bit meh, doesn’t it. But I honestly couldn’t think of anything else. I might do something else for the next one, I’m not sure yet, I’ll see how that goes later.
Warm Up Session
I started by using the Expand app - listening to the Focus 10 (the version by Monroe Sound Science - not the Hemi-Sync version). With no background effects. I used it on the 10 minute timer, just to relax before the session. (I’m only using the free version of the app at the moment, I’m contemplating the paid version for longer sessions of the hemi-sync, but the free version is fine for now).
I settled down in the loft space, propped up slightly with my pillows. And just relaxed. I’m finding this helps to just settle my mind before diving into the tape lessons. Especially if the day as been a bit busy.
Even without the Hemi-Sync, I started to feel the tingling sensations across my forehead. These are becoming more regular, even without the tapes. And when my 10 minutes were up I switched over to the lesson.
The Walk Through
In this lesson, Robert tells you to do your preparatory steps, and get to Focus 10, where he comes back. And asks you to move to Focus 12.
After settling in to Focus 12 he walks you through Patterning. He explains you need to think of the Pattern as completed, not something that you want to happen, but something that already is.
It starts off with your physical body. You build it, expand it and release in into your expanded awareness.
The second Pattern is of your mental self.
The third is for your emotional self.
The fourth is for your greater self.
The fifth is to create a Pattern of where you desire to be.
The sixth is to create a Pattern of what you desire to do.
The seventh is to create a Pattern of what you desire to achieve.
And then you come back to Focus 10, and awake.
There’s a lot of narration in this audio. And actually, probably needs a work book to go with it. 7 things to think about when you’re brain is firing, is a lot.
Visual Images
I didn’t have much in the way of hypnogogic images in this session. I’m beginning to realise that I get more of those in the sessions with less narration. I did however, get one image, which was of people sitting around a conference table. Which really had nothing to do with what I was Patterning.
There’s more activity in the phosphenes. This time there were more grey, black and some blue blobs moving around in the closed eye vision. As well as sparkles of colour, yellow, gold and orange around the outer edges of the visible space. There was at one point, a circle that was different to the phosphenes, it was a deep black, bigger than pervious sessions, but it didn’t last long.
Physical Sensations
What did happen though, was much more physical. The sensations were heightened.
The tingles came again starting in my forehead, spreading out down my temples, and to below my ears (first time they’ve been below my ears). There was more pressure at the temples, noticeably so. And I believe there were tingles at the side of my right nostril, I really wanted to scratch that, but stopped myself.
The vibrations appeared again, they started in the back of my neck and shoulder area. Moving down to the tops of my arms, through my chest, and into my stomach. This is the first time they’ve been in my stomach.
My head made a small jerking motion to the left. And the index finger on my right hand twitched.
I had twitching muscles, in my left eyebrow, and at random points down my left thigh.
My feet at the tingling sensation too, and that went up to my knees.
Towards the end of the session though, I had what I can only describe as a build up of energy in my left leg. Hard to describe really, but I had an overwhelming need to move my left leg, I didn’t, but because I didn’t it became uncomfortable. Not painful. Almost as if when you’ve forced yourself to sit still for too long and you want to move. But it was a lot, and I chose to push through it.
Towards the end of the session, I had the gasp of breath again. Not as much or as violent as the last one. But I think this is something I need to work on. It’s almost as if every time I’m on the edge of something, my body says, nope, not yet.
I’ve settled with the conclusion, that I need to repeat each session when I struggle until I become comfortable with the sensations. Almost as if I’m training my body to be OK with it, rather than it having a panic and bringing me back to quickly.
I also struggled a bit with the 7 items. I tried to dump all the thoughts of harmony and love in the first one, which I don’t think I should have done.
After this, I went down to my bedroom, to head to sleep as it was around 9pm. I thought at this point, I’d try to get into the relaxed state before going to sleep, as this seems to be easier now. I treat it as though I’m doing the ECB, and then some breathing, and then just watch the phosphenes for a bit. It didn’t really happen that night, my partner decided to come to bed, just as I was getting into it.
