In 2003, a declassified document released by the CIA detailed the observation of the Gateway Tapes, a process created by The Monroe Institute in the 1980s. The series of guided meditations used hemi-sync technology to synchronize the brain's hemispheres, facilitating altered states of consciousness. Participants reported experiences ranging from deep relaxation and heightened creativity to out-of-body experiences and expanded awareness. The program aimed to explore the potential of human consciousness and its applications in various fields.

Intrigued by The Monroe Institute's study of OBEs, Megan decided to dive headfirst into the meditations. In this episode, Megan provides some background on the Gateway Tapes and the declassified document, sharing her firsthand experiences with the initial meditations. Why were her feet vibrating, and why did it feel like she was floating? Tune in to hear all about her journey and insights on this episode!
