Today’s post addresses some of the aspects of how Installing Inner Game works.
For you text lovers, here’s the summary:
- Experience happens in your body. Afterward you put semantic ‘frames’ around that experience. In other words you describe the experience. The way we describe our experiences shape them for us.
- Your body, brain, mind and words are all part of one looped system. What happens in one affects the whole.
- Being in your Default means being at rest in a state of possibility and readiness. There are many ways to establish it, but setting the Default as the position you “default” to and learning to prefer it over all others is what matters most.

Hi,
Thanks for the verbalization of the Soma-Semantic model that in-forms this elegant work. Another useful way to think about this is the polarity between one’s Soma-Semantic model of being in the Default when we are at one’s absolute best, at rest and ready for anything and the Soma-Semantic model of being in one’s “Anti-Default/s” in an absolutely inhibited or close down state where one is anxious and feeling awful and tracking for barriers, problems and breakdowns.
The choice is access, return to and live from the Default and all the possibility or from the Anti-Default/s with a focus on what’s not working, problems, challenges and limitations. Neither is true it’s just a profound and wonderful life-serving bias or a deeply disruptive and life-decreasing bias. Of course the decision and choice for one of the is a way of deep transformation.
Thanks for this video.
Best,
T
Absolutely T,
When first introduced to the concept and function of the Default it’s useful to learn the way it works, how you work when you’re in it, and how to access and stabilize it.
Once you’ve done that for a while one of the next steps is to learn how you do you when you’re ‘out of sorts’. This way you are able to recognize these dissonant states and make the shift back to your baseline Default position more readily – before you’ve spent three weeks in an inhibitory state.
Thanks T,

Devon…. I love this work. I have been doing inner awareness work for quite a few years. I have a question… mostly I feel I am heart centered. I’m starting to experience the energy dropping down more into the sacral area. What does this mean… it feels very powerful. I think I’ve been under the misnomer of thinking I should be coming from the heart…but I’m feeling now that it’s also important to ground it deeper in my body….perhaps combining all three areas – third eye, heart and sacral. As one body. So that my love, intuition and power are one? This feel right to me, not excluding anything or any of me. Also, I love the pic in the background. Where can I get that? In my kundalini yoga, they talk about strengthening the arc line, which is depicted beautifully in the picture behind you in this video. Oh and one more thing, I read the Anastasia material too. I saw it mention in some of the posts somewhere…. it was really great stuff!
I would love to meet you sometime…I live nearby, north of Newburgh in a town called Marlboro : ) I have a beautiful place back in the woods. I am a healer and teach meditation and spiritual concepts. Waves of peace……. Janet
Hi Janet,
I was in Rosendale just the other day and I know right where Marlboro is. I grew up on the other other side of the Newburgh-Beacon bridge.
That picture is a piece by Alex Grey called Theologue. You can order it online or swing by his Chapel of Sacred Mirrors which recently moved to Wappingers Falls (NY for those of you unfamiliar). He’s amazing as is his art. You can check it out here: http://cosm.org/
With regard to your awareness dropping –
My experience is that as people mature their awareness drops from head to heart to lower tan tien in that order (In Chinese medicine all three of those points are referred to as tan tiens, the lowest most commonly.)
Different systems do it different ways. For example, Kundalini is largely designed to bring the energy up first while Chinese medicine works to ground it first. However, both systems are really working to create a looped experience which ultimately brings the energy through the entire system in an ongoing cycle. In Chinese medicine this is called the microcosmic orbit.
In Carlos Castanada’s books, don Juan refers to these positions in the body as assemblage points. As in – it’s the point where you assemble your identity. One of his primary teaching tools in those books is shifting Carlos’ assemblage point so that he becomes open to an entirely different kind of energy and experience. When you shift your assemblage point you gain access to a massively different kind of awareness – as i’m sure you’re experiencing.
As your awareness drops what will occur is that you will have access to all three of the tan tien positions. From the lowest chakra/assemblage point/tan tien you will be most stable and powerful. The beauty of the lower position is that you have even greater access to the upper assemblage points as well AND the physical carriage to hold and channel their gifts.
For me, stabilizing the Default is in large part to help make you a clean and clear conduit for a force greater than yourself. That’s where the second and third states of the Human Operating System come in. The second state being what I call Connection which is really referring to a state of grace or connection with Love/God/ The Universe. So there’s your second chakra.
In any case, Installing Inner Game is designed to create those shifts and stimulate the lower chakras. One of the reasons I do it in this order (from lower to upper) is because that’s the way Nature did it; Old brain and primal instincts first, then emotional limbic system, then prefrontal neocortex and executive functions. If it’s good enough for Nature it’s good enough for me ; )
Make sense?
Peace in,
Devon
Ya, perfect sense…………. thank you! I’m feeling such a huge sense of excitement. : ) Stimulated………
Hi,
I feel that the new or other assemblage points are critically useful distinctions and more importantly experiential reference points for deeply orienting from a new whole-form place. It would be wonderful to hear more of your thoughts about this.
In addition, before coming to the IIG I engaged with embodiment practices that come from Aikido and mindfulness traditions along with Ontological practices such as declarations of one’s future. The centered position in the body or the lower tan tien allows one to have optimal whole-body leverage. Of course the singularity of the soma-semantic representation of one’s Default is more singular than first centering whole-body then from there declaring something.
I would enjoy hearing more of the understanding of why the lower-tan tien allows more structural well-formedness.
Best,
T-genic
Hello Devon,
Thank you for this work. I, like Janet, have been on the inner-awareness/healing path for many years both personally and professionally. Your product came along at a most auspicious time…I appreciate how you guide awareness and encourage naming the inner experience of harmony and allignment. So simple, but so not part of the North American upbringing! RELAX!
Again, similar to Janet, my typically heart centered awareness has dropped down. I agree it feels powerful, very tangible, and honestly not always “comfortable”. I bring this up mostly because I suspect I may not be alone in this. Perhaps some reassuring words about integration etc. would be helpful.
Also, I want to pay you. I’ve been traveling and lost track of the financial portal. All the best in your work. I’ve been spreading the word.
Lecea
Hi Lecea,
I answered both yours and Janet’s question above. Let me know if you have more thoughts or questions about it.
And while it might be uncomfortable at first, stabilizing your Default and integrating it into your experience will actually lead to a deeper kind of satisfaction than is possible without it.
The Default position is the Cadillac of personal comfort. This is true largely because when you’re moving from this lower position you’re actually moving from your center of gravity – the place most well suited to be the seat of your awareness. Also, from the lower tan tien, you’ll experience all of your senses at once rather than in sequence which is how it is for most people. Instead, you’ll be in a constant and beautiful convergence of sensation and awareness.
As for paying (and spreading the word) – thank you, I appreciate it. You can get to the page here: http://www.gogratitude.org/devon/choose.html
All my best regards Lecea,
~Devon
Devon,
I understand the soma semantics theory. But how does that explain out-of-body experiences. You said your body is very important in every experience you have. Are you discounting OOB experiences? Or are you simply speaking from your personal experience?
Nagi,
I’m not discounting OBE’s. Rather, my experience is that even OBE’s are body based. In other words, the sensation of being out of your body is still being processed in your body and neural systems.
That said, my attention is constantly on what it means to exist as a pure frequency. Or to put it differently, what would it mean to continue being conscious even after my body dies; How do I maintain persistence and integrity of awareness without a body?
What I’ve found is that all of my experiences have only been deepened by an increased depth of somatic and neural awareness.
As for explaining out of body experiences – I’m a model agnostic so I don’t actually believe anything. That said, I find Bohm’s model of the holographic nature of the universe to be extremely useful for explaining things like OBE’s.
Namaste,
Devon
Lecea and Nagi….
Yes! I’m so happy you posted…. and I feel it’s because we have worked with Spirit a lot….although our true power/grounded power center is lower. ie…… the healing womb, wisdom, inner world is second chakra stuff. And Nagi, I also wondered about out of body…but figure that is another thing all together : ) I’ll stop now… it’s not my forum lol. Sorry : ) It’s just that I get so passionate about all of this and am so grateful to find a place where people get it.
Thank you ; I to am so much happier and more peaceful than I have ever been, for finding this avenue, A much better state of being. I am happy to find others that understand and are connecting in the same or similar way.
I am so Grateful.
Thanks for you comment Zanne – I’m ecstatic to know that you’re benefitting from it!
Gratefully yours,
Devon
Devon,
Thanks for your blog addressing my question!
Are there any subliminal messages happening in the background in IG that we can’t register in our conscious mind?
What is next beyond IG with your behavioral software?
Love, Dr. Mel
My Pleasure – did it make sense? Was it useful?
There are no subliminal messages happening in the background. I think the unconscious/subconscious mind model is largely outdated so i don’t use it except on rare occasion. And I’m fairly convinced that subliminal messages don’t work at all. Rather we use soundscapes and a bit of hemi-synching and bioaccoustics to ramp up the effect of the work we’re doing. More of that in version 1.2.
As for what’s beyond IIG – - IIG is actually part of a larger project called the Human Operating System. My primary intention has been to establish a universal language so that practitioners from various fields of health and consciousness have some common terms we can use beyond the nightmarishly lame DSM-V or the other very insular systems out there.
The system I’m creating uses the fastest evolving technology in the history of life as its model – Computer science and the Internet.
It seemed time to take a page out of that book so that we could start collaborating rather than coming up with thousands of new disciplines and being at the mercy of isolated and fad-driven self-improvement, health and healing technologies.
I developed a place where people could come together on furthering that aspect of this work and am just now getting ready to launch the next version of that. Details to follow soon.
Additionally, what comes next are much shorter installs as well as installs for all three of the major states (Default, Connection, Purpose). Also we’ll be putting out an audio for a behavioral application installer so that other people can create push-button-simple apps that anyone can ‘download’. As I said, I’m building this around the software model and want to make it so that we can begin brining in developers from lots of disciplines.
Have you seen the Matrix? The part where Neo downloads kung fu – that’s where we’re headed.
Big Love right back,
Devon
Thank you, Devon. I have installed “inner game” just 3 times in different days, and each time I am aware of something that I wasn’t in my previous experience. “Behaviorist” is a word that I am not very fond of, because I associate it with Pavlov and I definitely don’t feel like becoming one of his ‘dogs’. In the other hand, Neuro-linguistics is something that I like and that is why I gave Inner Game a chance. The experience so far is interesting, specially the physical senses which seem to be enhanced during and after the installs.
Thanks for being with us during the experience.
Hey Danska,
It’s an honor to be with you through the experience. And what a delight to hear that Neuro-linguistics is something you like. NLP is a dirty acronym for a lot of people. As for Pavlov – I find that I’m equal parts Pavlov’s dogs and Shrodinger’s Cat.
Cheers,
~Devon
Dear Devon,
Your work is unmistakenly brilliiant. I have listened to IIG once and was astounded at what you have done, and what it can do. You’ll understand my comment when I give you a bit of my history. Yet, I was concenrned at the concentrated focus on the “individual”. I am pleased you now mention the “Human Operating System” and the state of connection. Without this the work is just another “fix” without sustainability and purpose.
Thirteen years ago my entire sensory intgegration system collapsed, I was a left brain dominant person at that time and never developed binocular vision. High level toxic stress in working environment caused the collapse. My “recovery” required connecting to esoteric therapies and therapists to put mysself back together. I am a right brain dominant person now, and it is living in this place you call default that has created-manifested the new integrated neural networks that gave me my function back. I am currently at the 3rd stage (purpose) which you have not presented yet. I would like to add that my internal internet was doomed to collapse because my right and left eyes were competing, my vision was competing with my auditory, competing with my other sensing systems. I was taking literally back to conception, and all my circuitry was returned to the newborn state. My hoistic consciousness held me as the pieces did what they needed to restore me and draw experiences to me to hardware the new communications systems. Everything you commented above is exactly true to the experiences of my return journey. It is easier for me to stay in the “default” state than it is to connect to the outside world. The intensity of competing patterns out there is very challenging to my sensitive vulnerable circuitry. Yet I trust it implicitly, and watch it strengthen. My ability to function in the midst of intensity is valuable feedback that tells me the thing I am doing-experiencing is an alignmente and confirmation I am on purpose. As the left hemisphere has become my library available for key word searches to pull up information I need in the moment. The missing-weak piece for me at the moment has to do with timing. The left and right sides work at different paces. They are only in sync when I am in my deepest default state . . . which is an altered state similar to that of shamans . . . it is an interesting state to live in this dream way and still access the technical-physical side of life that gets the nitty gritty tasks of life done . . . in a timely manner. Needless to say I operate much slower than the world around me, yet love that I “do” what is often thought of as humanly impossible. QUESTION: how does this work support the strngthining of timing and timing awareness? Have you explored this? Thanks a bunch for this work you do. I am happy to share with you that your work has the capacity to do the synchronizing and integation work that it took me several years to do. My purpose seems to be to bring awareness to how important and essential nature of this kind of work in “deleting” competing useless programs while simultaneously supporting the sustainable functioning patterns that create the life we always dreamed of having but were powerless to engage. Specifically strengthing the subtler senses such as kinesthetic sensing so that the simultaneity of senses collaborating becomes a reality that both respects the vision and auditory but isn’t shouted into “invisibility” and non-existence. These veautiful subtle senses are what bring the beautiful wisdom, light, and beauty of children out “into the light”.

Much love and many blessings to your work.
Hi NancyAnn!
Thanks so much for writing! Your story is profound. Though I’m fairly certain that you must have seen this already, I’m compelled to put it up for anyone perusing the blog that hasn’t.
It’s Jill Bolte Taylor’s story of having a stroke and losing the functionality of her ‘left brain’ for a while. She describes some similar experiences as you did above.
http://www.ted.com/talks/jill_bolte_taylor_s_powerful_stroke_of_insight.html
I also love that you said, “They are only in sync when I am in my deepest default state . . . which is an altered state similar to that of shaman”.
That synced state is exactly the state that I’m working to bring people into with the Human Operating System. I want the ‘non-ordinary’ states shaman experience, to become the ordinary reality of anyone who wants desires it. As far as I’m concerned this state is part and parcel of what it will soon mean to be human.
As for time – well, I find the people who are able to most deeply embody this work are more ‘in’ time rather than through time. In other words, they will be experienced by other people as forgetting about time altogether. ; )
That said, once you are able to stabilize any of the first two states (Default or Connection) it’s relatively easy to add a time program on top of that which will help you get places on time or meet any of your other time needs or desires.
Blessings to you as well NancyAnn,

Walking the Wolf-friendly dog and the Wolf while accessing, re-accessing and stabalizing the Default. I had a wonderful walk in the rain, in the beauty of nature. This was the first time going on a “wolf” walk. I wolf and a wolf-friendly dog. I accessed the Default to be fully present to my full experience and to the subtlest of movement, change and instantaneous shift with the animals.
I accessed and left my Default for a fleeting moment when thinking about something and not being fully in the experience. I re-accessed the Default and returned to being more deeply present alive and awake to the experience. I stabalized the Default and had a moment to moment experience seeing, being part of the experience that I was sharing with these two animals that are completely present and that inspired me to be more fully in my Default.
I’d be curious to hear your thoughts about the Default and engaging with animals. I know there are leadership, somatics and horse experiences. I was imagining the IIG and walking a wolf experience as a training for the deeper acuity that is fostered when accessing the Default and being fully in nature and with animals.
Best,
T
Hey there Tivo::
Funny you should bring this up. I actually came to this work while/through working with animals, mostly dogs. I am not sure what specifically you meant by walking the wolf, whether you’re speaking metaphorically or literally, but both are interesting.
Three things for me to address here: one is the extraordinary benefit of accessing default in order to really be present to animals. There is so much distortion going on in the way people show up, understand, make decisions, and then act in relation to animals, that is just not in the way when people are accessing their default. Dogs are not baby, furry humans. They are not innocent or guilty, vegetarian or carnivore, predator or prey. they are themselves. The filters that we have set get in the way of our ability to really take others in, on their terms: animals and people alike. But isn’t this true of everything? Accessing default makes everything better, or at least more what it is.
Second to this point, humans aren’t the only species of animal that can get off track. I have been working with animals for almost thirty years and have studied/learned almost every training approach out there. Here’s what I’ve decided to operate from: Any animal, when operating from their default position, operates optimally. Installing any behavioral ritual or protocol into any other neuro-somatic format will result in vague and unreliable performance. Meaning, you may get a behavioral result, but is that really useful? And how valuable is the performance of a behavior in relation to how an animal makes decisions, or organizes themselves out into the world, which are the real determinants of behavior, in my opinion. So, this is all to say that I decided about 7 years ago to bring the animals I work with from dogs and cats to lizards and emus to default first. Any behavior set we decide to teach from there is clean and simple. The trick is learning how to track for this in other animals…
The third point for me, which is also my favorite, is the connection part. I mean, isn’t that really the point? It’s one thing to think it’s cool that an animal exists, but it’s a whole other game to develop a relationship with them. This is it for me. I just know that accessing default gives me a much deeper and more powerful experience of being connected. I love the possibilities that unfold from there. Rapport, depth, true collaboration: real love and deep respect..
The last thing I’ll tell you is that for the last three years, I have been training twenty-somethings to self-operate as awareness and facilitate the default/connection awareness in dogs as dog-walkers in manhattan. Daily exposure to a functional application of this work is inordinately valuable… no matter how you do it. And if dogs or wolves are a way back for you, then heck yeah. It can be amazing training for them and for you.
Thanks for the cool comment.
Best.
Thanks for this further explanation Devon, I finally “Get it” and understand that the incredible feeling I often experience in tai chi and chi kung is my default state.
Moving chi through your body is a great way to bring your Default State to life – to add dimension, movement and energy to the neuromuscular configuration.
Right on Mark!
~Devon
Hey Devon. Hey Everybody. Fantastic comments.
I love the reference to The Matrix, because I’ve been telling my friends that this is like choosing the red pill.
I get a really antsy sensation in my legs while listening. So much energy radiates from them, I can barely lie still. Like Neo’s eyes hurting, could it be I’ve never really felt my legs? Crazy.
AND…can’t wait to to see how being in my default effects my mountain bike racing ~ Woohoo!
Warm fuzzies to all.
‘Could it be I’ve never really felt my legs?’
Amazing. And I can’t wait to see how being in your Default effects your mountain bike racing! Actually Andria, being in your Default and doing strenuous activities – like mountain bike racing – is one of the best ways to strengthen the literal and metaphorical muscles of your Default.
The more intense the situation you are able to maintain your Default – the more anything less intense will be a cake walk.
Rock On!
~Devon
Thank you for your reply and your enthusiasm, Devon!
As very young athlete (swimmer), I learned not to feel my body to avoid feeling the pain of pushing myself. Now, daily, I learn new information about my body and muscles. Yesterday, I hit a roller on my skies, launched myself, and thought ‘W-t-(heck)! Where did all that power come from?’ Wheee!
This’d be a great secret weapon for mtb racing, if I weren’t telling everyone about it. I’m already finding measurable increases in performance within my default state. Those who are open to it are gorgeous, and the naysayers are hysterical.
What a ride.
That was from Andria
Hi Kiela,
I love your comments and experiential insights from working with and engaging deeply with animals including humans. The walk was with both a literal and metaphorical wolf given my fasciantion with them and with this work.
I grew up on a ranch with up to five dogs at a time. The relationship and self-connection back then is a reference point for accessing my Default. I really appreciated that the work is similar in applying it to animals as it is to humans. It’s a reminder of how critical the well-formed structure is essential across species. The optimized body structure is the home, support and stabalizing refrence.
I’d love to here more about the wonderful work you’re doing with the dog owners. I’m sure the work extrapolates into many of the other domains (self-relationship, relationship with others, Purpose, etc.) With animals the two states/postions you mentioned were Default/Connection. Does the state/position of Purpose only related to humans and not animals? Is there a third state/position in animals that is similar to Purpose? I’m curious now.
Thanks for the accessing your Purpose while generating the synergistic soundscapes to the IIG and sharing what’s possible from there.
Best,
T
Hi Devon & Everyone,
I really learned a lot from this video explanation and from everyone’s comments. Thanks so much! I can not even begin to tell you how everything is changing in my whole being! I listen every night for 3 or 4 nights in a row and sometimes in the morning before work. Once in a while i will skip a day just to see how well i can maintain the flow state “on my own” It is becoming easier and clearer every day. Now I am learning to recognize my shifts by the slight changes in muscle tension and sometimes even BEFORE i have time to associate a thought or label to the shift. This gives me a chance to reconnect to the default flow without straying too far off my perfect path. I even notice that its starting to become very natural to just suddenly readjust and relax without any cognizant efforts at all. It just happens and then i realize i did it without thinking to do it…..(does that make sense?) I love IIG! This is an amazing project! I get so excited and i am also directing everyone who will listen to the link you sent us.
Also to Janet: I visited the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors last year for Alex Grey’s birthday party and it was amazing. Please visit if you can get a chance. His artwork will open so many channels of energy for you. Happy Enlightenment Everyone!!! and ………
……perfect peace
Love,
rainey

Rainey – this is EXACTLY how it is intended to work. Perfect. I couldn’t be happier to read your description. For a while people work to reset into it. And then eventually, they’re in it so much that they begin to notice what pulls them out of it. Then, as soon as they start getting pulled from their Default – they are adjusting and maintaining the integrity of their own perfection without a thought.
Thanks for the inspiration!

Where do I buy the “Install Inner Game” program? I’ve been researching it like crazy, but I can’t find a place where to download this program.
Hi Andrew,
I believe you can get it at the following address: http://www.gogratitude.org/devon
I look forward to your experiential insights.

Wow…where to start?? I am a Medical Intuitive for many, many years. I remote view and remote influence; kind of like x-ray vision. Years ago I entered into what you call the ‘Default State’ for 5 precious years. I called it a ‘Oneness state – a Unity state where the mind is liberated and I was able to experience life with unbelievable clarity, understanding connection and power. The trance of separation was gone. I awoke as if from a dream to a world that made perfect sense and that manifested my desires effortlessly. I Knew myself and sensed the rightness of things, even though things sometimes seemed be going in the wrong direction. Everything felt divinely profound and at the same time entirely full of ease. I constantly laughed at my own foibles and forgive the shortcomings of those around me. I was totally free from the machinations of my mind.
At that time there were no instructions as you are so graciously putting out. Neither was there info on how to stay aware of when I was out of the state along with the somatic breadcrumbs you figured out. I fell pretty hard from this state without those pieces of the puzzle with practically no hope until I came across you.
I believe because of my unique journey and my range of experience, ‘Spirit’ came through me and I wrote a viable and scientific book (although seemingly wild explanation) for how our genetics got set up and humanity has had such a somewhat wangy time of it thus far -http://OriginalSexBook.com (it’s about original ’sin’ and the birth of violence on earth) and would love your opinion on the material. I can send you the pdf. My work has felt unfinished until I came across what you are doing as I had no soulution to offer readers at hand. Now I do.
Your work is so unbelievably profound to humanity. In the ‘Default state’ anything is possible. I can imagine people working together in this state to make some pretty interesting changes. I am so happy and grateful to see what you are doing; words cannot express.
Having this state and knowing how not to lose it is the absolute most important task any human being can do. It’s an egoless state of pure power. I believe it is our natural state; tapping into the vast unused resources available. Solutions to problems come easy in this state with practice.
So many blessings and gratitute,
Madalyn
I’m guessing that this isn’t what you want to hear; however, I believe in honest feedback. I tried three times to listen to the recording and I couldn’t get through it each time. I was too focused on how much I didn’t like the sound track as well as the male voice on the recording. It just doesn’t work for me. I’m glad to hear that it is helping other people, though.
Hey Elys,
Honest feedback is always appreciated. And that guy’s voice – i know! Try living with it!
Anyway, thanks for taking it for a spin.

I have read a couple of comments about how people have had problems with the voices or sounds recorded on the inner game program. Interestingly enough, I used to have that problem until I realize that when the ’self-defeating’ part of my personality really wanted to defeat me, it made sure I hated the sounds and voices of any ‘personal growth program’ that was carrying the very information I needed to hear the most. Since realizing how I sabotaged myself in the past I have not had that problem again. – Frederick Zappone
Hi Devon,
I have a question about the getting in the default state. When I listen to the track, I don’t feel like I am in the default. I am really relaxed- which is nice-, but I am easily distracted and not completely in the moment. When I’m in the zone when playing sports, everything is much clearer and I get the sense that everything is possible. I don’t experience this when I listen to the track.
Do you have tips or thoughts about this?
I have no experience with meditation or anything alike, so maybe I just need more practice.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge,
E
Hey E,
Here are some of my reflections in supporting you to go directly, more easily and readily into your Default.
Start with what’s working: you say that you are able to relax…when relaxed orient there, go deeper, direct yourself for this to go deeper, for this to be easy and you may want to pull in the experience of flow that you have with playing sports.
Expect for the Default to be connected to your experience of flow and focus and be with the experience as it defaults. Right after an experience you may want to listen again if you haven’t to the installing Default video here. There’s alot of suggestions there that you can choose from the orientation of this is a fit/match with me going deeper.
Let me know how this serves you and supports you going deeper.
Best,
T
I’m not sure if I’m adding this to the correct thread, BUT…
I tried installing inner game for the first time on Thursday night -I didn’t doze-off, but I definitely experienced a different level of consciousness.
I listened again on Friday after my early-morning yoga practice …then I went about my day. At about noon’ish I noticed that I felt as if I was cooperating with -rather than struggling against / fighting with my body -for the first time ever (or, at least that I can recall). It was the coolest feeling of being “at home” in my body …it was like I was “one” with it: I’d spent my entire life up to that point feeling as if I was trapped in a body that was too “this” or “that”.
I listened again Friday night …and then again this morning. Presently, I experience my “self” (my “centre”) to be located in my centre of gravity point (located in my pelvis) -but I experience that place as being infinitely vast (despite the fact that on the physical plane, it’s “within” my body) …actually, it kind of feels like I AM that place of infinite vastness.
I’m truly thankful Devon ^.^ THIS EXPERIENCE ROCKS!!!
