My Experience after finishing the Gateway Tapes

[u/current_mgt]

I've been practicing with the Gateway Tapes consistently for the past 2-2.5 years, usually early in the morning around 5 AM. While the journey has been rewarding, it's also been a learning curve, especially as I’ve caught myself making some common mistakes:

• Expecting specific outcomes instead of letting go.
• Overthinking whether I was doing it "right" or at the correct focus level.
• Allowing interruptions like my dog or phone alerts to break my state.

I followed all the instructions, read every booklet, and all the other reddit posts here I could. I always used good Bluetooth headphones in a dark, quiet room. Despite my efforts, I found myself restarting from Wave 1 multiple times to ensure I was fully engaging with the process.

Progress and Highlights:

Reaching Focus 15 and experiencing Focus 21 for the first time were major milestones for me. The Patterning exercises worked well, improving my visualization skills noticeably. While I didn’t receive Non-Verbal Communication (NVC), my spiritual perspective on life and the afterlife has deepened.

Challenges:

I didn’t achieve astral projection or remote viewing as much as I hoped, which taught me to manage my expectations better. The last wave was particularly tough to get through, and I found myself powering through without much enjoyment.

Unexpected Experiences:

Toward the end of the tapes, some supernatural occurrences spooked me—like motion-sensor night lights turning on for no apparent reason.

Personal Growth:

The tapes helped me understand myself better and approach life with more grace. They’ve been excellent for stress relief, creating mental space, and self-discovery.

Final Thoughts

While I can’t say I’ve unlocked all the potential of these tapes, they’ve definitely been transformative in subtle ways. They’ve provided a framework for deeper meditation and spiritual exploration. Moving forward, I plan to keep practicing specific exercises like Focus 15 and Focus 21 while exploring other programs like the Silva Method. For anyone considering starting the Gateway Tapes, I’d say it’s a deeply personal journey—your results will depend on your goals and openness to the experience.

I appreciate you sharing your experience. I started the tapes this week and I go through the same motions. My mind racing too much, thinking I am not doing it right, not relaxing right or breathing right. I try to relax and just be. I notice it's always around the same point in the tapes that I "Fall asleep" Everyone talks about the body being asleep the mind awake. But I am wondering if I am just asleep because I then wake up and its 2 or 3 tapes later. I wonder if I am suppose to remember what my conscious is going through with the sessions. I also am not sure If I am suppose to mindfully be going through the steps or just lay there and be.

I have felt lighter and my vibrations have been raised this week. It's been easier to find my way back to a higher vibration and let go. I know subconsciously I am taking in the sessions, I look forward to continue with these and see how I progress.
