- Duration: 37 minutes
Before
After listening to the tape the previous night, I quickly fell asleep around 11:30 pm, but I only slept for three hours and got up around 3 am. Was there any correlation to the tape? I can’t say. Anyway, since I had a lot of time now, I decided to work on my website and this page here, and then, because I’m impatient and I coulnd’t wait till night, I decided to get do the next tape.
Before listening to the tape I was feeling a little hungry so I had a couple pieces of KFC chicken tenders. I don’t know if the increased sodium had any effect on my session.
I had no stress but I was feeling a little low energy due to lack of proper sleep. My mood was neutral.
During
I started out quite relaxed but halfway through the tape I started fidgeting and felt difficulty breathing. But as everything else so far, I can’t attribute it to the tape.
In terms of mental imagery, I saw generic images just like I did during the previous tape. I think we can call it day dreaming as I have a habit of doing that.
I felt frustration because of the difficulty in breathing and my inability to remain still. Just like the previous tape it was difficult to focus.
After
Overall experience was better than the first tape, maybe because there were actually some tasks to do. I’d rate it a 3.
The unique thing in this tape were the guidance suggestions telling me to mentally do things, like putting all external emotions and perceptions in a box and leaving it behind temporarily, and to relax my muscles and go deeper inside my head. Although I didn’t really understand how to do it. I guess it’s like putting pressure on the accelerator. Nobody can really tell you how much pressure to exert; it is something you figure out on your own. Maybe I’m supposed to develop some intuitive understanding of this.
But the weirdest thing was that my body was doing the complete opposite. I mentioned the fidgeting and the difficulty in breathing. Instaed of my body calming down, I was getting more anxious. It’s one thing to not to be able to do what the audio is suggesting, but my body (or consciousness) was doing the complete opposite.
