Vishen Lakhiani explains how brainwave frequencies can shift your consciousness and happiness. He teaches his Six-Phase Meditation, which moves through compassion, gratitude, and forgiveness before three future-vision phases, and recommends radical forgiveness as a practical biohack for a longer, happier life.
Chapters
If you take action on some of the things that I'm about to share with you, you will add as much as 5 to 25 years to your lifespan. And I kid you not. A lot of this is studied by science. A lot of this stuff is validated. Now, the first experiment has to do with biohacking the mind. So a lot of people do not think about the mind as something that, you know, that you want to actually hack. But what I learned from Dave Asprey in our experiments with 40 years of Zen is that consciousness is hackable, and that the way modern science is evolving is so interesting. You can actually study up to 50 different frequencies in the brain. So a lot of you may have heard of alpha, beta, theta, delta. Have you guys heard of that? Turns out that's really, really, really basic. We've gone so much beyond that. I spoke to the author of the book God in youn brain, Dr. Mark Walcolm. There are at least 50 different frequencies which are being studied right now. And you can reverse eng these frequencies to change the way your brains function. So I do this. JJ does this. Dave does this, and 40 years of Zen is one of those things. Now, you do not have to do 40 years of Zen. You could easily use this with the Muspan, which is a very affordable device. There are numerous devices out there. But what I did that I found had the biggest result was this. I want to show you something really interesting. So if you can see that image there, that's jj, Dave, and me actually looking at my brainwaves. That's what my brain waves look like. So by learning what brainwaves correspond to, what states you want, what corresponds to creativity, what corresponds to intuition, what corresponds to. Now, this is weird, but the ability to alter and bend reality, you can induce those states at will, and then you can do more with life. So I actually learned how to function intuitively in a waking state. I learned how to make my meditation go really deep. And all of this through hooking my brain up and then studying these brainwave patterns. Now, as I mentioned earlier, I can guarantee you that one of the things that you can do immediately without any expensive machinery is radical forgiveness. Radical forgiveness is the big thing. Radical forgiveness was the key to the healthiest brain state. So you learned that technique yesterday. It's also clearly explained in my book, the Code of the Extraordinary Mind. Radical forgiveness is one of the biggest things that you can bring into your life. Forgive yourself or someone else that hurt you every single day, and in a moment, I'll show you How I'm going to give you guys a simple audio you can take home for free that will guide you through this. Now the next thing that I worked on this past one year is refining my own meditation practice and being able to go into really deep, powerful states of meditation. So how many of you here have tried my six phase meditation? Quite a number, right? How many of you here do this on a daily basis right now? So a little bit less so. But you guys are probably the smartest, wisest people in the room. Those who raised your hand, stand up please. See, look, look, look what I mean, right? All five of you, all ten of you. Now the sixth phase. I believe I've been teaching meditation for ten years. Nothing comes close to the sixth phase. It isn't me who invented it. Rather I looked at all the latest research on meditation and I put it together into one 20 minute hack. Do you know that most people who study meditation stop? They do not continue because they buy into so many bullshit rules about meditation. From you having to clear your mind to you having to breathe in and breathe out or chant mantras. A lot of that is outdated. I believe in science, I believe in what scientists are saying works. I believe in empirical evidence, studying it yourself. Six phase does this. There are six different levels of your self, your consciousness that you can level up on. That science shows has the greatest contribution to well being. And the six phase takes you through this, through the most effective way in 15 minutes. So the first one is compassion and kindness. So in the first two to three minutes of the meditation, you learn a simple exercise that helps you create compassion with all of humanity. Now when you do this, you find that over time. And over time, I mean within a month, within two, within three months, your idea of yourself changes. You start to give a damn about the rest of the world. Your affinity to your religion or your tribe or your race or your country starts fading away and you develop an affinity with the entire human race. You become more humanistic. And that's the first thing that happens in phase one. Then you go on to phase two. Phase two is about gratitude. Science has shown that gratitude is, has the single largest correlation with human well being than any other character trait. So you then go into gratitude. Stage three, you go into forgiveness. We've already spoken about that. Now all three of those states have to do with blissipline, with the idea of disciplining yourself to be in a state of bliss throughout your day, right? But then you go to phase 4, 5, 6, which is based on future dreaming. So phase 4, 5, 6 is about developing a vision for your future and the impact you want to have in the world. Phase four is basically thinking of your having a vision for your life three years ahead. Phase five is having a vision for how you want today to unfold. And phase six is feeling supported. Phase six comes from religious and spiritual traditions where you have this feeling of being supported by a higher power. Now we string it all together and in the book Code of the Extraordinary Mind, I included a bonus chapter where I explain this entire process so we won't go through it. Now.
