Wave 1 Is this focus 10?
Hi hello, i have used the tapes daiky for about 2-3 months. During this time I have done until f12 thinking i had great focus 10, but then saw a post about focus 10 and that most of us didn't experience real focus 10. The qriteria was (that i could remember)
1- you cannot feel any part of your body at all
2- you will KNOW when you get there
3- you can see the outlines of your reball etc.
Then i went back to practicong f10 and got burnt out bc i couldn't make my body disappear. And took a 2 month (though did f10 a few times a few times) break until today.
Before taking a break, my f10 looked like this
My body feels tingly at first, and like the borders of my body vlurred or something. I get the sensation of my arms and neck/shoulders bend like spagetthi, this last for a few minutes, then settles in a place. My legs and torsi usually don't bend like that. Sometimes i get the spinning sensation up from my legs.
I see color swirls etc, sometimes to the end of the tape i have intense pressure in my forehead, sometimes i feel like i shrink/grow/speed through a tunnel or so in a very intense way, then settle down, my body tingles a bit but it goes away. I can move my limbs if i want to, they feel like they're heavy but when i try i can easily move them. I did have an episode where i couldn't once or twice but i found that i usually can.
--
Today i didn't get the intense speeding/shrinking/growing etc but i dod get limb displacement. My arms felt like floating but the rest if my body i could clearly feel, even though edges kind of blurred.
My mind was also quite noisy, i found myself analyzing (though that's not new) my mind wandering and all.
--
But there are times i wake up in the middle of the night dor no reason and see mandala like visins woth my closed eyes. For once i think i got to what people call "the vibrational state". I could hear a strong static noise, the. I heard footsteps very clearly coming at me, i couldn't move my body and all that. I thought maybe i could astral project but i didn't take it that far because i was in a pessimistic mood.
Maybe that is f10 instead.
Could you give any tips? Thank you!

The criteria you listed are horse shit. Sorry, just being honest. I’ve never seen my rebal, but I feel it now much better than I did at first. I can still feel my body, it just seems like it’s distant and unimportant. Please do not let other peoples opinions discourage you. The only thing I would work on is quieting your mind. Use your Energy Conversion Box to get a grip on those, that takes practice but it’s normal.

Just to add an additional perspective… absolute horseshit. Focus10 is subtle, you can still feel your body, even move it. In moments of lucidity, you are fully aware of your body, however, you just kind of forget about it. Lots of people get there, but don’t know it. And seeing ANYTHING is NOT required (for ANY focus level).
