spiritual experience, therefore, is associated with lower rates of resistance.
Higher consciousness or enlightenment is related to a very low wave
and tone. Endorphins are produced. The inner dialogue is dropped and
the observer becomes dominant. As the mind quiets and perceptions change,
we transform our patterns of thought and behavior. Carlos Castenada
popularized the concept of internal dialogue, the constant conversation
we have with ourselves. Contrary to the notion of internal dialogue
is the role of the observer. The observer watches and participates in
real life with detachment and peace of mind. The observer is a place
of freedom. We have peak experiences that alter our lives.
The uncontrolled patterns of mind disappear as the left and right sides
of the brain become balanced. For example, the everyday state of being
for most people is a place in consciousness called Beta, a high vibratory
rate ranging from 14-19 hertz. In Beta, we experience stress. One might
repeat patterns of words, “How will I do it?” or “Oh,
no I'll be late!” mentally or verbally. The body reacts to
the stress by tightening, and the tension becomes part of the repetition
of the cycle. In the lower vibratory rates of Alpha, Theta and Delta,
we experience increasing quiet, greater relaxation, meditative calm
and sometimes peak experiences. Endorphins are produced, and the observer
state dominates. Delta is used for repairing the body and mind.
Petteway teaches a method of lowering the waves into alpha, theta, delta,
and often into expanded states of consciousness. A calm state is induced
through this work so that internal dialogue and stressful patterns are
discontinued. One's life potential is amplified through the clarity
of a focused mind. He offers techniques to make the leap of consciousness
toward creativity, a successful career, improved health or a higher
state of being. Participants are taught three types of breathing which
relax and oxygenate the body while lowering vibratory rate. Massage
and postural assessment are used to induce patterns of physical rest.
CDs created by Robert Petteway use tones and waves to balance and lower
one's vibratory rate. Analysis of one's lifestyle and environment
is employed to reinforce the changes made in the workshop and accelerate
growth.
Petteway explains changes that take place in his seminar, “Most
participants come in with a Beta vibratory rate of about 14 hertz, which
is high. We can reduce the rate of tension down to 1-5 hertz in the
workshop. Most people can hold about 7-9 hertz (a theta state) on their
own after the workshop. This is a huge change. We take pictures before
and after, and sometimes they look as though they have had a facelift,
simply because the stress is no longer there. People are capable of
learning and applying this in their lives.”
