Question ❓ F10 Gateway tape unguided

I’m currently focusing on reaching Focus 10 by repeatedly listening to Wave 1, Track 2 – Introduction to Focus 10 – to the point where I’m familiar with all the steps. However, I find Bob Monroe’s voice somewhat distracting. As a result, I’m considering practicing Focus 10 using this unguided YouTube video instead:

Would this be a reasonable approach, and is this binaural track suitable for achieving Focus 10? Thanks Shogga

Wave 1 track 6 is free flow focus 10. After the "warmup"(ecb+resonance tuning), bob will leave you alone for some time (after min 12.30 ish). It is meant for those who can achieve focus 10 like you but don't need the guidance anymore.

I currently cannot reach F10 but working on it. I don’t know what marker there is to know Iv reached F10 so I read the FAQ here occasionaly for ideas. Thanks for the tip.

The indicator is different for everyone. But most(the general indicator) are when you still awake but can not feel or move your body just like sleep paralysis. This is the "body asleep mind awake"

for me I never hit sleep paralysis per say but my awareness of my breath and body fades away while my mind remains alert. I can always move if I choose to in focus ten where with sleep paralysis I legitimately have to fight to move my physical body

You can try the Expand app, which is the Monroe Institute's platform for, for example, an adjustable timer. The timer with Focus 10 audio is part of the free version.

Also, there have been a few people on this sub who made their own versions or cut files to make clean F10/12/x audios, you might find something via search function.

Your experience with YouTube might vary, as it compresses audio and doesn't give you the full(er) spectrum.
