Before

Before I started the tape, my mood was relatively neutral, although I was feeling some anticipation and curiosity. Energy level was low because earlier I had exercised and I was sleepy. My libido was also low. I wasn’t feeling any stress.

During

I felt somewhat relaxed but I cannot attribute that to the tape itself. I also feel relaxed when listening to any audio, likes podcasts, music, and ambient sounds. I was lying on the floor, straight like a board and had no pillow underneath my head.

I saw generic images that I forgot a soon as the tape was over. Could not be attributed to the tapes. I regularly visualize things in my head when listening to music or audio dramas. This was pretty much like that.

I didn’t feel any emotion in partcular. I actually felt a little disappointed after the tape ended.

I didn’t feel anything in the body. Could be because I was very tired.

My focus drifted away for a bit while listening to the tape. There was a chunk that I cannot remember. I was feeling slightly sleepy before I even started the tape and I felt the same afterwards. That could be attributed to my drifting focus.

After

Overall experience was pretty meh to be honest. But this was just the first tape so I would keep my hopes up an keep myself open minded. Maybe things will improve with the subsequent tapes.

In the beginning some sounds felt scary just because of the way they were played (like the loud ocean waves). Maybe they use these sounds in this way to induce an emotion (fear maybe), but I guess I was too sleepy to appreciate it.
