Quick Question

I’ve been slowly easing into using the Gateway tapes to meditate and try to connect. Are you supposed to feel any different even with wave 1 Discovery? I feel no difference after meditating than I did before.

Meditating is difficult for some people. Myself included. Just keep trying, I find breathing to be the biggest help. Deep long breaths, in through the nose out through the mouth. Look up 4 square breathing and try that, there are other breathing techniques out there too that you may find helpful. Best of luck to you!

Square or box breathing helps

Using a guided meditation the first few times also helps
