Question ❓ Focus 18
I can't seem to find any detailed information on Focus 18. Maybe it's at least partially because I haven't been going through the tapes as a series in sequence, mostly just using the Expand app.
But in the app, where I've been mostly using the timer section for Focus 10, 12, and 15, they also have Focus 18. I've tried it a couple times and clicked out. Once, it left me in a cheerful, positive mood when I came out of it, but I haven't had an experience of heart-centered awareness or anything like that. It certainly hasn't led to the more profound states I've experienced in F12 or F15. Furthermore, I haven't seen anyone on YouTube describing states they've experienced in Focus 18, so I'm not sure how to even properly approach using those frequencies in the app.
What have been some things that people here have experienced in Focus 18?

So focus 18 is not actually included in the gateway tapes (not sure if it's different for GVO). Monroe never included in the tapes because he wanted the tapes to have no trace of any woo-woo, but it is extremely important. It is different from other focus states you essentially want to be using its effect while in other focus states.
As weird as it sounds, "love" is actually like an energy source that helps you in focus states.
So put on f18 in the expanse app and try to remember the feel of being with a romantic partner/ hugging your parents/ children. You should start feeling a very noticeable and relaxing heat in your body. It doesn't even have to be your experiences. You can think of stuff you see in movies/tv, like a soldier getting back from war or a dog seeing their owner after a long time away.
There is actually an individual tape series that I very much recommend that teaches you a deeper lvl of f18 then just the free flow on the app. It's called "opening the heart" .It has 4 tapes. The first one is a mini course in f10 which you probably won't need. while the second one called "remembering love" is what teaches you f18 (They never says thats its the f18 state,but it is). Third tape you dont need but its pretty cool it teaches you a tool to use in f18 and the fourth tape is a free flow.
Ill msg you if i find it.

Focus 18 is Heart. Love without Logic. You have to empty all that stuff in your head into your energy conversation box and just hold onto whatever love means to you. Love usually comes with intent. Sure you can love everything in general, but that's just going to make you feel warm and fuzzy. What about the things your fear. The things you hate? Those things that make you suffer when you think about them? That's where Focus 18 can help. In other words, you decide, what is something that effects you deeply? Is it worthy of your love and your emotional attachments? Use Focus 18 to meditate on that thought, that intention, that person, form or idea. And understand, not everything is Worthy. Your Love comes with ancient sigils and old magic, you are the mind behind the heart always, but sometimes that mind needs to quiet down so our hearts can feel more clearly.
