Guidelines Virtual Retreat

A Monroe Institute classic for more than 40 years, Guidelines® is second in a series of consciousness exploration retreats designed by Robert A. Monroe. In this powerful five-and-a-half-day program, you’ll discover how to go within, deepen your intuitive channels and access your inner guidance.

Continue exploring Focus 15 and Focus 21. Guidelines builds upon skills you gained during Gateway Voyage. It advances your exploration of Focus level 15 (“No Time”) and Focus level 21 (“The Bridge")—that elusive state between the physical and non-physical. Focus 21 is also the state where out-of-body experiences can occur.

Receive guidance on multiple levels. During this deeply meditative journey, you’ll discover how to cultivate a lasting, trusted relationship with your “inner-self helper”—and receive guidance from your higher self. You’ll also learn to seek guidance from other intelligences and forms of energy!

Go beyond the ask. Seeking inner guidance goes beyond the ask. It requires you to set clear intentions and strengthen your manifestation skills. You’ll have many chances to hone these skill sets during Guidelines. When you’re ready, you can shift your role from receiver to sender by sharing healing energy with others. 

Benefit from the halo effect. Guidelines participants report a greater sense of confidence in their ability to access inner guidance. Most experience related benefits called the “halo effect”:  expanded intuitive abilities, profound inner wisdom, enhanced manifestation skills, greater appreciation of self and feelings of peace and trust in life. 

Use technology to enhance your experience. Special Hemi-Sync® audio guidance technology supports your consciousness journey beyond your physical body. So do phasing signals derived from our sophisticated brain mapping technology.  

Register early. This advanced program is available only to graduates of Gateway Voyage and fills quickly. To hold a spot, please make your reservation early!
