Please read this before your first session, and follow it each time you listen.
This guided recording is intended to take you into a deeper level of relaxation than you have experienced before — toward the Sichort State, or toward a deep letting go of your own. Do not try to concentrate on the voice, or to follow the words closely. Listen, and let yourself be carried by what unfolds.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Set aside a full hour, free of interruption. Disconnect the telephone, settle any pets or children in another room, and tell those around you that you need privacy for about an hour.
Listen through a pair of good-quality headphones.
Recline if you can, or lie down. You may want a light blanket for added comfort and warmth.
DURING THE SESSION
Give your attention to the opening instructions. They prepare you for entering the relaxed state. After that, let go. Allow your mind to drift, and let thoughts come and go.
You may lose awareness altogether, or afterwards feel that you simply fell asleep. Either is fine, and neither is a failure. Losing awareness there is natural and normal.
Do not look for a dramatic or unusual experience of consciousness. That is not what this recording asks of you. What it does is loosen something inward and raise the activity of the subconscious — and that happens whether or not you were aware of it at the time.
AFTER THE SESSION
The recording closes with instructions for coming up out of the relaxed state. When you come up, do not get up immediately. Your body may still be going through a rejuvenating process. Take your time, and allow yourself to receive the full benefit.
REGULAR USE
The more often you listen, the greater the benefit. Regular use defuses the negative effects of the stress carried in daily life. It may take several sessions before you notice any benefit.
Recommended: once a day, three to four times a week.
WARNING
Do not listen to this recording while driving or operating machinery.
