Discovery #5: Exploration, Sleep
Exploration, Sleep is based on the concept that sleep is a natural Gateway into other states of consciousness. It may be that, whether or not we remember, our nonphysical consciousness passes through this Gateway every night. The exercise helps you recall this common, natural process in C-1 when you awake.
It is important not to hold expectations. Let them go. Relax. Approach the exercise with a playful sense of curiosity and interest. Just as you opened to the wonders of the physical world when you were very young, be open now in the same way to nonphysical experience. You may choose to add to the Affirmation a statement such as, "I am wholly without expectations, and open to all experience that awaits me." During the exercise, questions such as, "Am I starting to separate?" or "Is this what I'm supposed to be feeling?" interfere with the process. There's plenty of time to assess your experiences after the exercise. Simply go with whatever happens and remember that you may perceive in many different ways. The Hemi-Sync signals fade at the end of the exercise, leaving you in natural sleep.
