- Last week we started talking about brainwaves and Integration:
• Integration of Brainwaves
Continuing that Integration theme, going into gamma brainwaves, and how they fit with the slower brainwaves. How the Watcher mentality can help to heal disassociation.

Thank you to Doug Gemmell for the amazing music!
This is one of your most important videos and really carefully presented. I remember in my college days, I used to visit an ashram frequently to learn Kriya meditation. One of the monks said a very important thing to me as an answer to a question. I noticed some of the other visitors at the ashram were very aloof and "spaced out" and the monks were very sharp, grounded and participatory in activities, chores and good communicators. The monk who was practicing Kriya for decades told me that many people use spirituality as an escape instead of integrating the post-Kriya phase into their walking lives. He said if you are doing it right you will become higher functioning and not phased out of life and that you should not try to appear more spiritual by appearing phased out all day. His ending by saying you have to accept where you are, love it and watch your breath during the day to stay in the witness mind (Buddhi in Sankhya philosophy or the intellect.) Your video is even clearer than the previous teaching and I am thankful people will get to see this on a larger scale.
Thank you Joshua what a perfect and beautiful story! Thank you so much for sharing with us and for your personal affirmation! 🤩🤩🤩🙏🙏🙏
You know, I think this is one of the best Kriya stories I've ever heard. Perfect.
@@ForrestKnutson Wow cool!
Such a noteworthy point about Kriya!
@@silverlake973 I agree! 🤩
It seems you are the only teacher that combines a sound understanding of psychotherapy, Buddhism, and Medicine (eeg, hrv) into one integrated picture, and that is why you are the most effective teacher for me. Thanks once again Forrest!!
Thank you so much Dr. Blaney! What a huge compliment! I think that's why the success rate with my students is unheard of. It's really a magical combination. 🙏🤩
Beautiful Forrest! Life affirming and accepting vs. “spiritual escapism”.
Exactly right Scott!
One of the best exposure I’ve ever heard of this phenomenon, I hope one day mainstream psychology gets closer to this.
Thank you Swirl!
We are the sky---everything else is just weather. Thank you Forrest
Wow! Beautifully said, Doug!!
Yup. Disassociation is happening big time as I’m working something heavy out. Trying to work it out.. I dare only peek most of the time. Peek for as much as I can handle and again flee.
At the same time I’ve been asking “who am I” as a practise Sri Ramana Maharsi suggests.. I wake up regularly feeling completely cut loose from my core. No ground to stand on.
And that’s why the inner voice has been telling me to keep things very simple, tiny steps. Don’t ask “who am I” for now, in the deepest sense. Build a foundation, grow roots first.. Get real close to myself in this gross form, work on acceptance, just breathing and creating a healthier relationship with myself and see from there.
Clearly I am not ready for the big work. And yet, these energies arose. And yet, so much came on my path that I was somehow able to “wing”. Because that’s what it is I’ve been “winging it”, strap in and hope for the best.
It is a mystery to me sometimes why big leaps have happened throughout my life while I’m such a beginner and so ignorant when it comes to certain things. Smh.
And.. It will be ok. Somewhere in the bigger picture that I can’t see, everything is right on time..
Thank you Forrest 🌸
A little light went off in my head when I rewatched this video. The practices of unconditional forgiveness and love play a big role for me in integration. I think that these deep down feelings I have that there are no mistakes and that everything experienced is a blessing is the result of these integrating practices. Blessings Forrest.
You are so right and that is so perfect. That's the integration process you've been doing all this time. 🤩🤩🤩🙌🙏
Forest, thank you for such a good explanatory video! I am very happy to hear and see you! 🙏🏻🥰
Thank you Svetlana! 🙏🙏
Thank you so much Forrest this is exactly what I’ve been going through. I’ve been working hard to embrace the things I haven’t wanted to look at for years. I didn’t realize how much I dissociated until a few months ago. I really want to reach integration. Looking forward to the next video thank you again 🙏
Taylor, that's fantastic! I'm so glad you're seeing it clearly! Just seeing something, bringing it into your awareness is instantly transformational. We can't help but see it forever more, and so we transform. 🙏
@@ForrestKnutson Thank you Forrest that helps me keep moving forward! Sometimes I'll start crying but I guess I've been repressing things for a long time. I've been going to therapy since November and trying to write it out and go for walks to process everything. That makes sense what you said about Timeline Therapy not working for people who dissociate. I feel like maybe my ventral vagal nerve hasn't quite been regulated yet so maybe it's unlikely for me to experience more of the dorsal vagal? I'm not sure. I watched your video that talked about getting veterans moving and getting that energy out before meditating and that's been helping! Short meditations seem to work better for me after moving. Sometimes I get stuck throughout the day and I just want to stay instead of going somewhere else.
@@Celebritybeginnings775 that sounds perfect! A little movement, and short meditations. I call it Meditation Power Lifting... LOL! You can just step back and observe yourself, as well, and this works wonderfully to integrate everything into a whole.
@@ForrestKnutson Haha awesome! Thank you Mr. Forrest you've been an incredible help to me:)
Your channel is a goldmine of information, thank you Forrest 🙂
Thank you so much!
Forrestj, my teacher introduced me to your channel and told me to do HRV breathing before the techniques he gave me, and it made a huge difference and really changed the way I think about meditation. Thanks in part to your material, my self inquiry practice has started to flower and I just feel extraordinarily happy and at peace in myself for periods of time, and I've started to notice the four proofs and some other signs of PSNS activation (like beginning to salivate) when I start to sink into the nondual state. You have such a wonderful way of explaining techniques in a way that relies on hard science but does nothing to take away the wonder of these practices. That said, this doesn't exactly seem like something you would do, but I've been wondering if you have anything on your channel on drinking water? I've read some ayurvedic stuff on hydration in the past, and on the benefit of sipping water vs chugging it, but I found that whatever I read always lacked the kind of real, physiological explanation that you always bring, and I personally would like to know since I drink a lot of water and hydration is a big deal to me as an important part of health. And if there's a scientifically validated way to do it without having to pee every 10 minutes, I'd like to know.
That is soooo fantastic! ... Yes, I can do a video on water drinking. :)
@@ForrestKnutson thanks in advance 🙏
The answer is in you my friend. When we were looking for water, thousands of years ago, we would drink as much as we can when we find it. Sipping water is the new and unfamiliar thing from the modern times where we have everything in abundance. Follow the instinct that was developed inside for a thousands of years and never sip. :)
@@teogee59 Sounds reasonable, but I think that this kind of reasoning can be misleading. It might not be the same case, but in the case of food, for our entire evolutionary arc refined sugars, fats and salt were extremely rare, so if we encountered them we'd eat as much as possible. Now that these are in abundance, following the same instinct makes us extraordinarily unhealthy. Although I appreciate the response, my problem with an answer that comes down to how things were done in the past is that it doesn't take into account the fact that things have changed substantially since then, and doesn't get at the actual physiology of what's going on when the body processes water that comes in.
I still might try gulping water more, if only because of how good it feels.
@@Firecelebi completely agree with you. Do whatever feels right in the moment. We are 70% water and that is the main ingredient in our body. So things have not changed so much about the water consumption compared to the other new food items you mentioned. However, instead of looking negatively on the new food, we can use our intelligence and get the best of those without harming our bodies. At 62 I am more active than ever before in my life. Racing up to 68 times per year: from 5K to marathon and triathlons up to Ironman. I have no problem racing 3 times per day when conscious eating and rest can provide me unlimited energy resources to push further my own limitations. :)
Yes you are right, from another view, after dissociation we are still attached to something, with integration we detach ourselves from either things. And even though it might seem inadmissible in life, attachment and not accepting never is a good solution. I like to often think in terms of attachment. Hope this helps.
And Forrest great video🙏, looking forward to stone samadhi warning, pretty interested.
Thank you so much! Well said! 🙏
Another great talk Forrest! Thank you so much!
Thank you, Janna!
Forest Thank You for helping me understand the process I’m going through practicing Kriya your teachings are amazing
Wonderful, Jim!!
Thank youfor kindling the flames
Thank you Elaine!
Thanks FK for clarity. Joy
Thank you Joy! 🤩
Again can’t quite grasp this it’s like on the tip of my tongue so to speak! But I’m sure further in my journey then it will click and I will have to sift through vids from you to then take it in properly and learn more in depth about it!
So thanks Forest I’m sure this WILL be valuable and sooner rather than later but if not then it will be there when needed so on that note
Nuff love n respect my friend
Atma namaste sir heartfelt gratitude for this amazing teachings..so clear in explain such a great subject ..its like step back and observe yourself..this is not me ..i am not this body i am not the thoughts iam not the this emotion...i am a spiritual being a child of God connected with God one with God and one with all...being a child i am always growing making mistakes as a lower self and evolving as higher self.. wow sir really no words to explain..mind blowing. God bless much love to family and the spiritual team 🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤
Perfect Vimala, as usual! I'm so glad you liked this. God bless! 🤩🤩🙏🙏
@@ForrestKnutson Thank you so much for your kind reply sir..and the reading also amazing...you have mentioned something similar to this in one of your earlier video..regarding the monk... God bless much love 🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤

Very helpful, ty
I like seeing things like time line & parts !!
Whaow Thank you so much love from Sweden 🙏❤️💃🏻🎶👍😂
Thank you Mannie! 🙏🤩🙏
II am very indecisive most of the time. I think I experience dissociation when I procrastinate, before deadlines. I binge watch Netflix shows, or check Instagram or reddit all day, where a part of me knows I should be working on something important. But these two parts are separated from each other by boundaries. The desire to procrastinate and the feeling that I should study/work, both are very strong. When two opposing desires arise in mind, how does it figure out which is good for me ? In case of procrastination before exams, it's pretty obvious that I should work hard throwing away the lazy/scared part. But when it's not that obvious, how does the brain know which part to throw out ?
You are perfect in every single moment. Your mind labels your actions as: procrastination, binge watching. Unless you go to the bottom of everything you do, you will never be able to go out of it. Once you are at the bottom, there is only one way out, and that is flying up in the air. Enjoy your life and never regret anything that you did or you are doing right now. That is how the power will come to you. Right now you split your power into doubting your self about what you are doing and doing it. Just do whatever you do with the entire power that is inside of you. That is the best medicine. Once you allow that to happen. The power will push you back to what you really should be doing, like a ball that you try to push down in the water but it will ultimately jump out when you release it. Just try it and have the courage to try!
I tried the timeline therapy and its surprisingly sometimes where you end up. Also, sometimes it gets complex with multiple directions. For instance when having a stiffness in my neck or feeling very sleepy; I ask myself the direction; let the timeline run and sometimes the stiffness or sleepiness just disappears. Its pretty amazing; thank you for letting us know these tricks.
With gamma waves (binaural beats) I experience something like 'being above' emotional feelings. Your talk seems to confirms this. How do you look towards binaural beats? Can it speed up to find the higher self? What about the various Hz (frequencies); is this different per person; could using binaural beats condition you falsely (meaning not in tune with your own nature)? Just being curious; what are your thoughts?
Great video! Would love to hear more about parts therapy!
Thank you Sabrina, I will demonstrate that for sure. I just need a good person to demonstrate it on!
The hard part is looking at my wrongs. It is very painful. I feel guilty and bad. I have to think this will be ok and look at it. It reminds me of an oyster that walls off painful icky stuff and after the healing has created a pearl. We have to be ok with creating pearls. Pearls of wisdom for ourselves by healing and when we look at the overall we can see beautiful gems.
Well said Kyle! I think I'm going to release a video with a simplified timeline therapy technique to go with this. Try floating back to the beginning of time. Before it all and look towards now. Now how do you feel?
@@ForrestKnutson I feel good. I sense myself and I sense floating in a sort of a sea very euphoric
@@kklyve perfect stay there as long as you like and float back to now when you are ready.
@@ForrestKnutson I think I feel better. It seems refreshing.
@@kklyve perfect
Wonderful 👌
Thank you 🙏
You should do a video on the chinese text “the secret of the golden flower”
You have infused so much inspiration in me Forrest. Im currently meditating 1 hour twice a day because of your kind help. Just wondering what your thoughts are on number synchronicity? Its happening so much I cant ignore it anymore.
That is beautiful! Yes, synchronicity is a wonderful thing, and it's a perfect sign that your outward and inward life are integrating and coming in line.
Thank you so much🙌🙂
Thank you 🙏 I am eagerly looking forward to the next dive on this with you!
I have gone through your channel looking for a demonstration of the om japa, I have watched a couple of things that you have described. However, I feel like I am not performing it correctly (this may be because my learning style is show me and I will mimic I suppose?)
Do I chant out loud to each chakra while focusing my attention on the specific chakra I am chanting into? And must I chant out loud for it to be effective? Can I chant "Om" in my mind with laser focus of attention on the chakra? I do not live alone, and my family currently does not share the desire so to speak. Thank you again, so much Forrest.
This is fascinating 💫💜
Janine! That is so wonderful and I'm so glad you're getting so much. If you go to my website you'll see the Big Bliss Training. That's where I really go very deep into this process and how it directly affects the brain. 🤩🙏🤩
It's okay to begin saying the OM out loud, and then eventually we want to say it mentally only. You just put your mind into the chakra, and then while you are there chant OM directly into it. As if the sound is a little bomb detonating in the chakra.
@@ForrestKnutson beautiful!!! Thank you sooo very much! I will be heading to and checking the website out, much appreciation 🙏🤗
@@janineplamondon8893 wonderful! 🙏🤩🙏
❤️🙏🏻
Hi. Can you please recommend a book for better understanding kriya and rhe concept of "trauma in the heart"? A blog post or sth like that would do too. For some. Reason I miss the point in videos.
Your videos are refreshing like a fresh breeze..Forrest I have been hearing sounds like a beep sound in my ears especially left one..what does it mean?
That's your nervous system. People who go into an anechoic chamber start to hear these internal sounds as well. Your concentration has gotten so deep you don't need the chamber and you hear the humming of your nerves. So if you keep listening it will deepen into eventually the sound of OM.
@@ForrestKnutson that's great ...thank you Forrest😃🙏
I'm not sure if anyone will understand this,but everything Forest is saying I'm witnessing. Not just with this video but every video I seem to watch, seems to pertain to my progress. I feel as though (I'm not mad) that I'm being guided. I seem to be doing these things in stages without actually knowing I'm doing them. Does this make any sense to anyone? Does anyone else experience this?
I've had a number of students mention this kind of synchronicity. Synchronicity is something that happens much more often the closer that you get to the right brain. 🤩🤩
Whoa, I tried to perceive my life as a whole and immediately 2 things caused me pain and the problem seemed to big for me to handle on my own, it stressed me out. I think I need TLT asap haha.
That's very good, Victor! Try this, float back on your time line to the Beginning of Time, and look along your time line to now. Now, how do you feel? Sit back there for a bit, before it all began.
@@ForrestKnutson Forrest! Thank you for the speedy reply! 🙏🏽 When I went to the beginning of time I felt a huge relief in my heart as if pounds of worry suddenly vanished. Should I go back to the present time in my timeline?
@@victorgerardmelendez6323 that is so perfect! Yes, go ahead and come all the way back to now, easily and effortlessly.
@@ForrestKnutson Omg thank you! Just being able to have that feeling of relief is amazing. I will watch the vid you made about NLP and try it once again. 😊
@@victorgerardmelendez6323 perfect!
Have you ever had an experience where it feels like your skull is going to break open from pressure and there's a really loud noise in your ears (like a jet engine) and there are entities you can see? I pulled myself out of that state once because I was freaked out but I want to go back.
That's the 1st Knot, when I talk about Lahiri Mahasaya's 3 Knots. The loud noise is the OM vibration. The entities are archetypal projections in the Download Stage.
@@ForrestKnutson Ok thank you that's something for me to think about.
Amazing as always. What nlp book you recommend ?
Thank you! I would start with these:
NLP books:
Magic of NLP Demystified: amzn.to/2O7g81m
The Essential Guide to NLP: amzn.to/2TIKX2y
Time Line Therapy: amzn.to/2UFcYV1
Time Line Therapy Made Easy: amzn.to/2W5d8p6
Hi Forrest, this is a bit of a random question as a newbie to meditation..but is it less beneficial to do guided meditations or should we just be sitting in stillness? I get irritable sitting too long and prefer doing more of a walking "meditation " around my park or in nature..which is best?🙏
Walking is great! As you walk, try to make the exhale a little bit longer. Then a few minutes of sitting meditation each day, following one of my HRV-RB videos. That's guided by watching the lungs. That's the best way to start. :)
@@ForrestKnutson Thank you so much friend..I will definitely try this out 🙏
i know this is out of subject but..
i always had this question wandering inside my mind, which is.. when i watch anime show, i always like a specific character over the others, always, like i may be drawn to this specific character, i thought every one sure like the exact character i do, but i realized that ppl actually don't.. there are those who like characters in a show that i didn't pay a slight attention to
and i wanna know what and why each individual drawn to certain personalities traits, i wanna know why im drawn to this particular character in an anime show "it doesn't mean that i dislike other characters it just that one particular is more of deeper feelings and deeper liking"
i ask you because a soul master has deep understanding of human psychology so i wanted to hear the answer from a soul master such as yourself, mister.
Like attracts like. You will like the characteristics that remind you of yourself. Either that which you already have, or that which you are working to have in your life and in your personality. 😉
@@ForrestKnutson ahh, that's amazing, but does that mean when i dislike something, i dislike a trait i don't want to have in me, or one that i wanna get rid of?
@@thepromisedday6781 that is usually the case it reminds us of something in our lives either now or in the past that we dislike. Most of psychology is wrapped up in projection.
@@ForrestKnutson im so so glad to know what i just did through your words mister Forrest
its so amazing that i may have "or working myself to gain" those traits that i like on other people i see whether in life or in fiction.. im so glad of it. amazing! thank you for this
Any chance you can do a video on how to control your body temperature since my thyroid problem hot flashes have been a major issue and I would love to be able to control them as much as possible
Hi Steve! I'm not a doctor; I worked with nutritionist for years. Good oils! To support and promote the body's ability to self regulate your hormones. Avocados and runny eggs. Up to 12 eggs a day as you re-load good cholesterol into the body. No oil from a bottle, as it has been exposed to air; no fried foods. That's what I would recommend.
@@ForrestKnutson got ya I will try the oils I was hoping that you had some insight on how certain monks and I believe that his name is wimhoff are able to control their body temperature or at least not let it bother them
@@themoffitdunsterconnection7605 if you use my video on the rescue breath you can activate the dorsal vagal which will help to put you into a freeze response. This is very helpful however you will still need to address the deficiency in the body. Linus Pauling said that every dis-ease comes from a nutritional deficiency.
@@ForrestKnutson ya I can agree with that I like to call it the sickness I was born to get because it was given to me by the universe so I could touch other places in space and time I was able to see things others couldn't and I was locked inside my own body but nobody else could understand what I was trying to communicate and at certain times I would leave my body for a week at a time and only one in 100,000 men actually Get this type of issue and thankfully since my birth the universe was preparing me for it the only real down fall has been the hot flashes and trying to reestablish my emotions that I used to enjoy and now don't seem to have
How'd you get so good at this?
A lot of study and experimentation, study and experimentation. Lol!
Can you please help me understand what is happening to me I am able to hold to my center were my body and mind and my heart are all just perfect and it usually takes me a full day of meditation and then I can keep it for several days and then I for some reason go to bed and sleep for 12hours or more and I wake up and it's like I have been completely reset from my connection
Well I am currently thinking your video just might be what I am doing but I am not sure so I will be trying this but if anyone has experienced this before I can use some help
Habits and patterns are always difficult to overcome, so when we reach a certain state we'll need to get there over and over again to make a lasting imprint on the psyche. You are in great company. We all need to repeat over and over again. I hope that is encouraging.
@@ForrestKnutson okay so repeating it over and over and it will begin to stay longer I was thinking that I missed something because I have been teaching myself and it is like the deeper the sleep and the longer I sleep the more I return to the old me and I have to almost wake up and find out who I am dealing with for the day
@@ForrestKnutson I had a thyroid problem that was creating storms that would make me disassociate from my brain all together I was awake but I was not able to move or communicate with other people because they couldn't understand me and I am wondering if that is my problem is I have to find out how to undo it
