Much wisdom to be found here.,
There is some great practical everyday wisdom to be found here IMHO. The Levey’s are special compassionate people sharing what they have learned. Don’t appear to have any agenda. Just trying to help in a world that needs plenty of help. All of their books are good.

|meditation manual,
This is a great book for anyone, and everyone. This is a good place for beginners to begin the meditation practice and also for those who have been meditating for years. It brings the practice of meditation off the mountains and into our everyday life.

|Meditation Primer,
This is a wonderful book, written by two people who obviously practice what they teach. It contains specific and well described practices from many of the oldest wisdom traditions on earth. The trick, for me, is to remember to stay with them………

|Wow, I mean WOW,
I had no real idea what to expect but I was hoping for some wow factor besides reducing stress and increasing concentration. I am blown away by the sophistication and simplicity of the device. It’s a little cheaply made and the digital readout is a bit old-fashioned but that does detract in any way from this wonderful mini universe.
I put it on and at first I was disappointed until I found out I am supposed to close my eyes. Then like a dimensional shift I am transported to an unearthly realm of unsurpassed beauty and weirdness (in a good way). I started with No. 49 and it sat there with the low tones and a vague green light and suddenly it intensifies to colors, frequencies, and manifestations-I saw patterns and visuals that are byond my ability to discribe in language. I believe the pulsations and color sequences invoke the mind to try to make sense of a landscape that is not part of our reality. So the patterns and manifestations are a product of our mind to make sense of it by creating a point of reference (almost like a hallucination). I saw patterns, galaxies, flowers, landscapes, jewels, crystals etc. The tones that run in tandem with the visuals creates a 3 (or perhaps 4) dimesional experience. The rest you’ll have to find out for yourself.
The headphones are designed to register below 10 hz which is extremely low. The tones that are produced are very specific the the effect they are trying to achieve. I tried the 10 minute concentration booster and it worked! I also tried the night voyage and I ended up falling asleep on the sofa. I advise you to do this in your bed so you don’t have to drag yourself to it.
I let several people at work try it out and the reaction varied from OMG! to throwing them on the desk because they couldn’t handle it. I believe if you are an open-minded person and like extremely saturated visuals (millions of colors are possible!) with possible mild hallucinations, this is for you. If you’re a controlled person who hates not being able to make sense of a landscape that is other-worldly, this isn’t for you.
The best part that I haven’t tried yet is that it is completely programmable and can be synchned with whatever music you want to use.
Those of you who have tried LSD in the past and liked it-buy this device!

|Light and Sound Fantastic,
Ok. So I wanted a mind machine, avs device, light and sound machine, brain machine, call it what you will, to help me chill and learn. I whittled the choice down to the Procyon, the David Pal and the Mind Spa. I dismissed the Mind Spa as too girlie-looking, its webpage content as too verbose and try-hard, and the David Pal in the end came across as too much like it had been put together on someone’s back table, looked a bit kit-ish. What’s great about the Procyon: 16 million colours, 24bit hifi codec for digital quality sound, truly portable size (about a cigarette packet, bit bigger maybe), looks solid, well-built and cool, no built-in obsolescence (upgradable firmware) and downloadable new programs a go-go, cool Ganzframes (contrary to most pictured with the beast, they are reflective, at least the ones I bought on Amazon. Actually, I’m sure some companies that picture the frames which look like pinhole glasses, not hi-tech ones, are losing sales), ease of use, great results. I would not want to be without this. One of the year’s better purchases so far. Amazing trip. Love it.

|Gets the thumbs up,
I had been wanting to buy a mind machine after some time dabbling around with software that creates binaural beats. I had used in-built screen flashing in another program, but really wanted to try out a machine so after some deliberation I purchased the Procyon.
In general I am very satisfied with the machine. I think you’ll only get something out of this if you come to it with an open mind (my wife said go ahead and fry your brain!).
As another reviewer mentioned the device itself does seem cheap; you might even think it is a walkman from the late 80s, but don’t let that detract from what it actually does.
The presets are o.k., but once you feel comfortable with the machine you should try to create your own presets. This is where the major problem is with the machine: the software.
The presets are good, but just when you think you are getting into one, you can have quite a drastic shift in tones and lights which has made me jump on a number of occasions. However, this ‘jump’ soon dissipates as your mind seems to latch onto to the new frequency with surprising ease. You can of course program your own presets, but the software is not the most user friendly (procyon makers, could you make a programmable interface a-la gnaural??).
The other major grumble is having to plug external source music through the aux if you want to listen to music at the same time….
Apart from what might seem to be some negative comments above, I do feel that this is a great machine to enter into if you are curious about AVS machines. Recommended.

|A unique, fun, relaxing meditation game,
Leela is a new way to learn and play with kinect.
I bought a book on Chakras (7 energy centers that rise up your torso to the crown of your head) many years ago and have always been moderately interested in meditaion.
This game from Deepak Chopra and Curious Pictures is pretty amazing.
I played the demo 3 times last week and seemed to feel a little better. So I purchased the full game and am pleased with the variety of activities to unlock.
The control method works well, the menus are easy to navigate. I found I play more calmly and in control with each time I play.
The Presentation Sound and Visuals are very well done and will help your breathing, relaxation, and put you into a flow state if you let it.
I will break down what the game offers.
There are 2 main branches to the game, Play and Reflect.
Play’s Movement section is broken down into 7 chakras each with seven levels. Each level adds a new element to play with.
The movements you perform to control the visual game onscreen are exersises to help open your Chakras. (you will be rotating and bending hips, chest and sholders, and expanding your arms and pushing gently outward, depending on the level/chakra).
The 2nd section of Play is Sequence. Where you perform a series of Movements to open multiple chakras.
The 3rd is Mandala in which you create a personal mandala image to help guide you back to meditation.
Reflect contains: Stilness, Oracle and Ambient
Stilness has 7 guided meditations with Deepak’s voice and some visuals and music.
Breath Practice has 7 different meditations that help you control your breathing with onscreen visuals that actually match your breath in your lower middle and upper torso.
Finally 7 silent meditation lengths are available from 2 minutes to infinite. They also each offer 7 sound choices and no speech.
Oracle contains quotes from Deepak that arises after you’ve reflected on something.
Ambient lets you listen to the music in the game with backdrops from various parts of the game .
So there is plenty to do, and I look forward to making this a daily routine.
If you are curious about meditation, and/or playing a game in a relaxed new innovative way, I highly recommend Leela. It is extremely well done with wonderful music, psychedelic trance inducing visuals and is a nice introduction to chakras and meditation.
It’s just what I’ve been looking for in the back of my mind all these years.
**It’s been almost a week now of daily leela and I must say I feel more calm overall, especially right after a meditation of course. It really seems to work if I breath with my movements in the Play section as well.

|Fun Play but Meditations Not as interesting…,
Leela is a mixed bag but not a bad one. It depends on what you are looking for. It could be better in many ways but I applaud it as one of the first dedicated uses of the XBOX kinect to enhance spiritual practice. I hope that others follow and use this platform for interactive guided meditation as well as disciplines like Qi Gong, Tai Chi, Reiki and other healing forms of body work.
The first thing you need to know about this program is that it has three major sections. After you create a personal mandala (you don’t have a full creative palette here and it is hard to make the game freeze on the exact shape you want), you are invited to either PLAY or REFLECT. If you want to relax do not enter PLAY. All of the “games” listed under the chakras will quickly tense up the part of the body required to move the game pieces and as you go up in level produce more and more adrenalin. One section, the one on INTUITION reminded me a lot of the tunnels in Mizuguchi’s “Eden” and blasting rocks and gems in the POWER section did not connect me with my personal power, only my rail shooter skills. Still, this has to sell as a game and the games in this section are reasonably fun if not spiritually enhancing.
As noted the games are fun, but for those of you who own Chopra’s Wild Divine or Journey, this game does not contain anything like those calming visualizations and does not allow you to control the game via relaxation and breathing techniques. Beyond knowing what your chakras are and what they do, you won’t win the games by using your body to “gently flow” the game piece as suggested in the instructions. A jerky movement is required to quickly pop the game piece on a particular course, especially at the higher levels of each game. Not one of the six chakra games I’ve played so far has left me feeling relaxed or meditative. Even at the second level (there are 7 levels of play for each charka) of the second Chakra game, the “gentle sway” of my hips that was supposed to guide the game piece around a circle, quickly turned into exaggerated side lunges to get it to move any distance at all.
The REFLECT contains STILLNESS and an ORACLE that opens once you reach the third level in all REFLECT offerings. This area doesn’t have games. It is made up of breathing exercises and guided and unguided meditations. I found that most of the exercises didn’t provide me with more than I could do on my own. You get to pick from several types of droning music while watching three bars expand and contract with your breathing. Kinect watches your breath which is cool but there is a bit of hesitation here and there that makes the feature more annoying than useful. Wearing a tight fitting top would probably help this. Be sure to note the time stated on each breathing level as there is no bonus or penalty for right or incorrect breathing. You simply sit for the amount of time indicated when you first enter the level. It is also useful to note that most people don’t like to meditate in glaringly bright light. Kinect is light sensitive so you have to pump up the lumens to get a good reading, especially for those of you with darker skin. I also found that most of the dialog and guided meditations I encountered moved too fast or went on too long.
I found the “ORACLE” to be more of a thought for the day or affirmation generator. I didn’t find what it generated to be that meaningful in terms of answering my question. I wasn’t able to get into the AMBIENT section yet, but from I’ve seen I assume there will be additional audio files available there. I’ll report back when I finish the levels and provide more details.
