A member recently asked this question, framing a few key points on the member’s view on Holosync. While I don’t really want to compare directly with other products, I do think some good questions were raised and I will address those in this post.
Before I quote the question and provide my answer, I want to state that Holosync is a successful product with a strong reputation, that I believe was well-earned. We have a different approach and different pricing model, as in free, but this site doesn’t offer any customization or intense personal support. If their program seems to fit with where you are and you can afford it, give it a try. I believe they have a satisfaction guarantee and there is little risk on your part.
There are many differences in the approaches. Of course, I believe the programs here are more effective at driving personal change on average. However, they likely say the same of their program and expound the unique power of Holosync. Since individuals vary, your mileage could vary as well.

 Meditation is Beneficial, but NOT a Rapid Transformation Tool As the Omega Mind Program reaches many more people, we frequently get questions about “deep meditation.” Does this program help me meditate deeply? Other programs or software claim I’ll get to instant Zen states or have Monk-like meditation. Will I quickly find true bliss in life?
This is a rather rich and complicated question. Since many people have asked, I thought I’d post my thoughts.
Generally, yes, the Omega Mind Program helps you meditate very deeply and provides the guardrails and on-ramp to get there quickly and effectively. However, our goal with this program isn’t deep meditation. We are trying to transform lives and get brains to rewire themselves. Meditation-like states, for us, are ONE of the tools to help get there.
The Monk’s Life
A Zen Monk may ultimately achieve, or rather, drift into, a state of bliss. They master mind states with mentoring, practice and tuned, gentle, mastery of their will, attention, and intention. These monks often have a lifestyle of simplicity, quietude, meditation, and service. They let go of most attachments to the world, to people, to things, and cease grasping at the concepts that swirl through the world around them. From this baseline, they follow a spiritually informed path that often leads to deep contentment and what we might call bliss. As this is their life’s goal, they often do find what can be called bliss.

  Just Listen to Reprogram Your Brain There are a wide variety of products and programs that offer to help you grow and achieve in various ways. Many of these programs offer substantial benefits over a period of weeks or months. Very few personal growth approaches offer significant long term change and help you operate at a higher level. The market is also saturated with copycat products and simplistic placebos. This has ultimately convinced many people that the personal development and self-help field is less than wonderful.
I have tried and reviewed many of these and look for the theory and core efficacy in every offering and technique. In every article, book, or study, I look for repeatable gains and benefits. Though many products and individual techniques offer some benefits, none offer the long term potential I believe is possible. I’ve always believed personal development programs could be taken to vastly improved levels. The journey and commitment is still long, but the accumulated results could be much greater.
Over time, I’ve used passionate curiosity and mental rigor as a guide. I discuss and validate the concepts at length, including working with psychiatrists and psychologists to get their perspective on these non-medical products. My current theory and perspective in personal development builds on many great teachers, researchers, leaders, and thinkers.
I have gradually synthesized a hybrid neurological, psychological, and developmental framework for human growth and achievement. For over three decades, I have been creating programs of various types to help people in their quest for personal growth and achievement.

The Omega Mind Program builds on our other successful and powerful program, The Secret Brain Transformation Program (“classic”). Both programs employ intensely powerful techniques, leveraging recent theory in neuroscience to dramatically extend time-tested and proven self-improvement and transformation methods.
The classic program is essentially content free, leaving you to follow directions and mind your thoughts at all times as you learn its techniques to re-goal your brain and mind. Although positive changes occur along the way, it may take a few months to achieve the first shocking “aha” with the classic program – a point when you know positively you have a new hyper-powerful tool for change.

 Neural Networks and Myelination I’ve always pondered why personality can seem so fixed and relatively immutable, even when the individual seems committed to change themselves. As with many things I’ve studied about people over time, a strong neurological aspect appears underpin the highly stable personality/psychological constructs.
After reading Daniel Coyle’s book, “The Talent Code,” I see another possible good explanation. The key aspects of his work relevant to us:
- There are two factors that influence brain performance when myelination is strong. First, the nerves transmit much faster, up to 100 times as fast. Secondly, late arriving signals in the brain, those that didn’t take the faster myelin routes, are generally ignored when they do complete, if a substantial number of the faster myelination paths have already fired.
- The effect is that highly learned pathways become super-highways of the brain. The local streets, where you walk around at one one-hundredth the speed, are essentially ignored whenever you activate the super-highways. Once built, the super-highway owns much of your thought and behavior. That may be what you want for golf or violin, where there isn’t time to be consciously choosing each motion, but not so much for your personality.
I’ll now give you my synthesis on what this means to us in our core personality and being.

Check out the new Omega Floating Induction Session in the Member Area – Other Free Sessions.
This session augments the Omega Mind Program with a variation of Dual Induction. We are still experimenting and tuning the technique, but believe some of the members will find it helpful.
You’ll find more background on this technique in the post linked above.
Enjoy,

We’ve all likely experienced and observed that verbalizing, through discussion, writing in a journal, or similar means, seems to lessen emotional intensity. The effect is confirmed at a neurological level by a psychologists in a UCLA study.
The study found that introducing language along with contexts that trigger emotions, such as anger, in the amygdala, triggers increases in the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex region along with a decrease in amygdala activity. Since the amygdala participates extensively in emotional experience, and the particular prefrontal region is associated with language and …

In a study at the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind/Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and the Genomics Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), it was found that triggering the relaxation response (yes, that Benson) activates a pattern of genes that appear related to stress management. This study may suggest diverse areas from pain management, arthritis, and many others could be influenced positively by systematically and consistently evoking the relaxation resposne.
This obviously points in a positive and expected direction, confirming Benson’s original observations in new areas. …

In the study by Emory School of Medicine, Zen Meditation training and practice was shown to reduce the recovery time after distractions. Simple tests showed that Zen meditators more quickly return to focusing on a word task when particular distractions were created. The presumption is that the practice includes our overall focus and attention management, though more studies would need to confirm the effect before we jump too far.
In any case, this shows another positive effect of simple meditation practices. The general Mindfulness and Zen practices are our …
