Hypnagogic State & Meditation - Yogi Explains

[@helohelohelo6356]

I used to imagine sounds, after few minutes I start to hear them as they are really there, after this if I keep imagine these things, I fall in a to a state which is kinda like a dream, just you are still awake and you can watch it like a video on your eyelids. Hypnagogia is awesome 😎

[@johnstanton8499]

Excellent info Thanks To anyone interested Andreas Mavromatis who i think coined the term hypnogogia has written two books on Hypnogogia , one a scholarly work which he wrote in his early life and the other an autobiographical novel ‘Travelling Light’ both classics

Hi Forrest, sorry I didn’t see the video until now! Thank you so much for making a video on my question! It is definitely the resistance factor that gets in the way for me. It’s not on purpose; my mind automatically jolts awake whenever I feel myself slipping into a fuzzy state. I’m not sure how to stop it! It’s like I feel like I’m falling, and my mind jolts me awake to stop it!

Truly, a picture is worth a thousand words! The brainwave illustrations speak volumes -- oh, and your explanation is very clear. It will be fun to un-pack this information as time unfolds! Thanks, Forrest!

Fantastic Walt! Thank you so much! 🔥🙏

I like the semi cataleptic state, which I easily reach via nonverbal hypnosis, and sometimes I experience it in my kriya meditation ...very relaxing

[@monkkwok6725]

Once again ! Thank you Forrest .

[@RandyM5]

Thank You Forrestji. You are a treasure trove of knowledge. Knowledge that you easily transmit to me. I truly understand and I experience the subtle things you say in my meditation. Each time it happens. I smile and bow to you sir.

Hola mi guruji! In the beginning I found SVS incredibly hard to do. I discovered self hipnosis helped me calm the gross body thus slow and calm the finer mind. This was critical to my reaching Gamma. I really appreciate you telling us that SVS, HRV, the 4 Profs are the state to communicate with our Sub-Conscience. A very good spot to afirma our Sub-Conscience to begin the Tranquil Breath which will bring on the full Freeze Response. Thank you so very much and bliss to you and your family!🙏🙏🙏🕉🕉🕉

Perfect! Perfect! Perfect! Victor, I'm so incredibly proud of you! ✨️✨️🙏🙏

I started getting into that state when meditating and weird things were happening, I was hearing voices, noices, chimes, bells, small kids playing around me. One day the strongest and fastest heavy metal that I never heard before was behind me (I don't listen heavy metal but I did when I was younger). Some times I would feel in a vortex or levitating like out of the body, at the beginning I was curious but then things were getting even more weird, like hands touching me almost like giving me a massage, and then it became a sexual thing where I was having orgasms, I decided to cut out the trances when they get too weird. It's hard to find information in this topic and what to do specially when things are getting this bizarre.

Beautiful illustration, Forrest! I'll keep putting together my personal Pangaea to experience life in HD more often. I gotta say I enjoy the fuzziness, but I feel I need to go past its allure! Blessings and blissings!

[@ForrestKnutson]

That's exactly right Mauricio! Blessings and blissings, brother! 🙌🙏🙌🙏

Man I had one day after meditation that I got to tell you I was buzzing. I felt like I straight up went super Saiyan. It was quite amazing. I absolutely loved it and I could feel my heart and brain in sync even with my pulsation and I could also feel a tingle on my whole body, which isn't really that abnormal for me. I feel those types of things constantly. But it felt like how you see when they go super Saiyan and they have that glow energy coming off them. I thought like I had that coming off me. It was pretty comical. But I loved it and I've been trying to get back to it but I haven't been able to yet. I'm pretty sure it was the intense breath work I was doing. The ended up really pushing me to it but then things got a little too intense and I had to stop completely. I don't know if you remember talking to me before but you know I've had some problems if you do.

Thank you for this video! I'll probably have to watch it again to really understand it; this was a lot more detailed than the usual video about the hypnagogic state. I found this video because I've always struggled to stay awake during meditation. I think that I've maybe hit the hypnagogic state once or twice but, unfortunately, the far more common result is me falling asleep. I just recently got serious about figuring out how I might be able to fix this and one of the pieces of advice I found said that if someone falls asleep during meditation instead of going into the hypnagogic state, it's actually a concentration issue. If I may ask, do you think it's true that you can basically just "try harder" to stay awake during meditation? If I'm just having a concentration issue, then I'd actually find that kind of empowering in some way since that seems like an easier problem to fix than fixing some kind of innate inclination I have towards falling asleep easily. Being able to fall asleep in a snap has been a boon for almost all of my life but I guess when it comes to meditation, it's quite the unfortunate obstacle.

[@Vshamann336]

Part of my rejection that happens is that I understand it could be quite intense. And I've already had many tastes of what's to come. I mean one time. It was basically like a shot out of a cannon. Then many times I have an ego dissolving happen, normally with breath work when I go out. And that can kind of be freaky. But I'm really used to that. And I had an ego death when I was like 14 on mushrooms that took me 10 years to process but I'm not really a stranger to it. But yeah, these experiences can be really intense, it's not all sunshine and rainbows of the '60s music with colorful hippie graffiti drawings that a lot of people make it out to be. In fact, a better representation of these types of things would be the band tool and Alex Gray's artwork.

[@dailySpotter-q4p]

Hey Forrest. When I do Blood Pressure Variability (after 1st proof) I get the sensation of being upside down/head spinning. I lose sense of direction and even after the meditation I feel a bit dizzy. Why is this ?

[@dakotahsimonson631]

Forrest I don't know if this is good but I can work hard and do chores in that fuzzy slow state it's definitely a something to flex tho 😮🎉 there's a difference between the fuzzy and physical fatigue?

[@fhoniemcphonsen8987]

Wondering how this relates to Bengston Method image cycling, in terms of energy healing?

[@ForrestKnutson]

As he says, it is not energy, but informational coupling. That is, the subconscious and superconsciousness of the healer coupling with the receiver. 🤩🙏

[@fhoniemcphonsen8987]

​@@ForrestKnutsonI guess I was thinking more in terms of the brainwave state and whether image cycling would produce a result like in the graph of the healer.

[@jonny3003]

Very nice video, thank you very much. There are a lot of nice advice everywhere in it. I think the best is that you can't directly calm your mind, but do it via the body and heart rate variability. One question maybe: The second graph you show is pretty symmetric between left and right brain. Shouldn't the right brain be more active than the left brain there when one is deeply relaxed and in alpha/theta state?

[@ForrestKnutson]

Fantastic question. The deep brain cannot be recorded perfectly by EMF and so it will show equally out both sides of the skull.

[@jonny3003]

@@ForrestKnutson Ic, thanks for the answer!

[@wolkenkuckucksheim555]

Hi Forrest, I've had hynagogic states that were very blissful. And yes, as you described, it is very fuzzy at first, then it becomes clearer and clearer until it has HD clarity. But I've also had scary experiences with it. Often people's faces deform during this visual clarity. Any advice if the material is not so pleasant?

[@ForrestKnutson]

That's exactly why Lahiri Mahasaya gives Navi, which I taught in the Guardian video. There is a part of the brain which recognizes faces and often in deep meditation this will become stimulated and we will see faces. Just know that this is totally normal and practice more Navi. Thank you for the wonderful confirmation! 🤩🙏🤩🙏

Heyy forrest thank you so much for everything you post is been 1 year of trial and error and success and failure in my spiritual journey but i love your teachings, am a part of srf/yss which is the lineage of yogananda and should i stay in the lineage? Is there anything wrong with their kriya yoga? I haven’t received it yet but when i do i wanna make sure is the real kriya yoga

[@rinakaur7245]

When is the best time to meditate?

[@ForrestKnutson]

Early morning, when you had time to fast through the night, and before everyone else wakes up. So long as you've had enough sleep.

[@rinakaur7245]

What are the 4 proofs?

What do you mean by fuzziness?

[@ForrestKnutson]

When you feel as if you're just a little bit sleepy. That's when you are noticing the alpha brain waves.
