Day 6

I did two 1-hour sessions of OptiMINDzation.
Made some new breakthroughs.

The first session I concentrated on the beats and pulses with my eyes closed for a full 1 hour.
I remove all forms of distractions and follow through as much as possible.
After that, I realize that my mind was less scattered and more directed to the present task at hand.

For the second session, I engage myself in daily activities while listening to the CD.
It was just to make use of the time while I busied myself with mundane things.
As a result, I didn't have the same clarity of mind as I have for the first session.
Therefore, in order to make the
OptiMINdzation
work for you as much as possible, you have to focus and devote some uninterrupted time for it no matter how short the session.

Day 5

Committed to 1 hour of optimindzation session before going to bed.
Again, nothing special happened.
After the session I went to finish a book but concentration was lower than what I expected.
Will continue the process until some significant results are obtained.

One thing that I want to point out is that anyone can be an affiliate for the OptiMINDzation CD Volume I. You can register by clicking at the "OptiMINDzation Affiliate Program" at the sidebar. Many had trouble finding the affiliate page when they go to Stephen Pierce's Page for OptiMINDzation so I set it here for your convenience. Note though that it is only ethical to recommend a product that has been used yourself. Dishonest endorsements can only hurt your reputation and will work against you.

IQ Test Score

Someone on the warrior forum suggested I do an IQ test to measure my progress before and after brain entrainment with the OptiMINDzation CD.
I agreed and used IQtest.com for the assessment.
I scored 116 points.
Imagine my disbelief when I found out that I could not take a similar test with different questions on that website.
I'm sure the accuracy of this assessment will be horrendous if different tests were used for "before and after" and I'm searching for reputable IQ tests websites on the web for this reason.

Day 4

I used the OptiMINDzation CD today for only 20 minutes at night.
My sincere apologies to you guys reading this for not being very consistent in the application of the OptiMINDzation CD.
After sessions of using this product, it is very clear that Stephen Pierce was right about feeling thirsty during brain entrainment. My mouth felt relatively dry after the first 15 mins of entrainment and that seems to be the case every session.
Also, I've heard of other people feeling "zoned in" or being able to "feel their brain" and other interesting but vague sensations. Can anybody clarify that with me? I don't seem to have any of those feelings yet and I'm starting to doubt these testimonials.

Further updates will be published here.

Day 2 and 3

I 'm combining Day 2 and Day 3's posts together, here's why:

Day 2

Today I decided to use the OptiMINDzation CD more heavily.
I was late for class and so only made use of it for 20 minutes in noon because I couldn't commit a full hour for it after waking up. After my last lecture, I returned to my hostel and dropped dead and slept at 4 til 9. Before going to bed (10 pm), I made up for the time lost by doing a full hour of OptiMINDzation. Again nothing obvious was noticed in performance and mental clarity. However I did feel that my ears strained a little. It could be because of the set of headphones I use. Also, it's easy for me to dose off into sleep as the beats/pulses played are uniform and has very little variety in it. After all, they are just beats.
Try listening to a monotonous newscaster for a full hour at night and you'll know what I mean. Another thing I realize is the rate of beats changes as the CD is being played. It builds up in speed and then slows down again. So, the rhythm wasn't the same from beginning til end.

Moving on, I worked pass my normal bedtime and lost my chance to fall asleep. Everytime I do this, it's hard to sleep and my insomnia kicks in. From my experience, it is no use trying to go to sleep after 2am as I'l just lay there in bed wasting time. The ending is always the same when that happens. Sleeping is impossible until 6am and by 7am I would be extra tired and will die into slumber when I lay on bed. And believe me, that happened many times.

So I decided to go for another hour of OptiMINDzation and again I find it hard to concentrate on the beats from beginning til end. But I made it through anyway. Maybe this is how brain entrainment works. To train yourself to focus on monotonous beats until eash beat is distinct and registers itself clearly to the mind.

Read on, you'll see why I'm telling you all this.
The rest of the night can be summed up as follows:
4 am :"No use going to sleep now"
5 am :"Might as well work a little."
7 am :" Don't Fall Asleep!"
8 am :"Off to class."

So there I go, a complete 12 hour period of sleep deprivation. (9pm of 18th Oct till 11am of 19th Oct) It is usually impossible for me to concentrate in class when that happens. However, I was surprised to find that I was capable of paying attention and focusing on the teaching. This has never occured before and I thought it must be due to OptiMINDzation.
In fact, I went on absorbing the lessons into my head and it lasted me until 11am, of which I took a half an hour's nap and went through the entire day until I return to my hostel at 10pm.

Now, although my mind was able to work during the morning, my body was drained.
I could feel aches at various areas of my body and my eyes strained.
Not to mention a mild headache as well !
All symptoms of sleep deprivation were present, but my concentration was not compromised.
That's why day 2 and 3 are linked together because I did not retire to bed at all !
Yet, it's amazing that I took only half an hours worth of sleep before going through the rest of the day without brain entrainment. I was too busy the rest of the day to commit myself to even a 20 minute session to OptiMINDzation and thus, put in only 10 minutes instead during the night. I have to admit I'm not very consistent in training my brain for this two days.

But, I was pleasantly surprised at gaining some early results after using OptiMINDzation.
Will continue this and see how it goes.

Day 1

Day 1

After opening the package, this was what I found.
The Stephen Pierces' Mental Maneuvers was not a ring-binded manual but instead was a stapled 7-page report that looked photocopied. The OptiMINDzation CD and the Bonus Speed Reading CD were packed in a plastic jewel case that left me feeling much to be desired. The Bonus Speed Reading CD has value although it's not the most impressive programme IMHO.
And the OptiMINDzation CD once played, were rapid and continuous beats/pulses to the human ear. It felt as if the beats changed in speed on several occasions but that could be just me.

I read the instructions and decided to go for the full-blast of 60 mins.
I dranked enough water before the session as recommended and focused on the pulses and beats. I used it for 60 mins after opening the package and again 20 mins before going to bed.
So it was 80 mins in all. 60 mins in noon and 20 min before bed.
I dozed off a few times during the session but that has nothing to do with the disc.
Unlike what other internet marketers have said, it does not sound like a rotating helocopter blade or a thousand bees swarming at you. Just beats played at rapid speed.
"Thud thud thud thud thud.... " at probably more than 10 beats per second.

Nothing amazing happened.

That's the truth so far.
The back of the package says that:
"20 minutes later, you are now dialed in to your explosive mental assets. Turn off your CD player and experience the real difference of your mind optimized in peak state."
I guess it's still too early to tell.

I won't dismiss the claims that the CD works as how I dismissed the delivery.
Stephen did say I need to give it some time for it to work.
So I'm going to keep using it at least 60 mins daily, religiously and report back.

I Screwed Up

I screwed up, guys.
Here I was waiting for the OptiMINDzation disc to arrive and then I realize there was an error in the mailing address.
It appears that the mailing address belongs to the hostel cluster below my floor.
When I checked, the order has already arrived, waiting to be picked up.
Therefore, I can't really be sure of the arrival date.
So to be fair, my comments on late delivery really isn't valid.
Anyway, I started the first day testing it and this is what I found...

OptiMINDzation Testimonials Scrutiny

This is a testimonial I found used to promote the OptiMINDzation CD.

"Used my CD today and it's phenomenal! Only used
it for 10 minutes because of a looming deadline.
Met the deadline and went out and walked. Walking
is one of those "I should but no time now." And
just did it after I finished teaching my TeleClass.
Yea! Thank you.

Best, MaryJo

P.S. I could feel the integration between the left
and right brain and the integration between the
top of the brain and the body. Amazing. We do this
kind of integration with Brain Gym. I'm just thrilled!"

MaryJo Wagner, Ph.D.
The Learning Doctor
"Helping You Help Your Kids Learn"
Marble, CO

In the testimonial, I was given the impression that the testimony was given by an M.D. when the name "Dr. MaryJo Wagner" was called. But in true life, it was just someone with a Ph.D recommending the product. If it was a true medical doctor providing the testimonial, it would certainly be weighted heavily as his/her own name and reputation as a medical practitioner is put on the line to make such a claim.

So do look carefully at the testimonials for vague impressions.

Warmest Regards

Slow Delivery Explaination.

After sending a ticket to enquire about the slow delivery, I was sent this email:

"As explained on the website, it takes 2-3 business days for the product to ship, then based on your location, it will take 7-10 days for the CD to arrive. "

So please consider your location when ordering to know what to expect in terms of delivery.
And do send in the support ticket early if in doubt as there is a time-lag in getting answers from the support staff after issueing the ticket.

Delivery Issues You Should Know About

It's been over a week now and I haven't receive my OptiMINDzation CD from the mail.
After checking with the support staff I was notified that the package has already been sent. The status of the delivery , however, could not be tracked. I have also heard of other purchasers who are still waiting for their CD, wasting idle time they could have used in training their brain. It must be noted that I live in South East Asia and thus international delivery might take longer, although I have not expect it to take this long. (It is noted on their thank-you-for-your-order email that I should allow for 2-3 business days for delivery.) Because of the difference in time-zones, any support related email is only answered during their working hours. So, please note that it is not 24-hours support.

One of the more serious concerns as a result of this situation is the time we get to try the product before the next CD is sent. If you go to Stephen's Pierce OptiMINDzation CD page, it is stated that they will send subsequent volumes of the whole 12 CDs series one month after the order continuosly for a full year! That's 12 CDs in all and recurring charges for the whole year. Of course, we can cancel them if we choose to not continue our order. But the fact remains that we need to give the OptiMINDzation Volume I CD enough time to work before we can give it the chance to prove it's effectiveness. In a way, it is not helping in making our buying decision and we are pressed to make them.

Another note, getting EEG scans is very difficult. I so happen to be in the vicinity of my campus and I have requested use of the EEG scanning facilities for this testing purpose. I have not gotten any replies yet. Even if I am able to use the facilities, I am uncertain about the cost I have to pay to get the EEG scans done. (Anybody able to do this cost-effectively and easily, please leave a comment as I'm curious how it is done.) Therefore, the chance of we exercising the 2nd Money Back Guarantee "DOUBLE YOUR MONEY BACK WITH DELIVERY COST GUARANTEE" is quite improbable, for 2 reasons:

Firstly, we could't get the EEG scans done.

Secondly, the product works as advertised and a refund isn't necessary.

Thirdly, the product overdelivers and getting a refund is highly ridiculous and sinful.

Anyone with opinions relating to the product or have any request on how I should test the product before you make a buying decision, please let me know.
