First experience with Spatial Angle Modulation (sound / Monroe).

I received a few cds yesterday but one of them was the wrong one. I'm waiting for the right one. 

I had another cd, called Essential Mediation. It's a free flow meditation, or with no goal. You just get into a meditative state, passively.

It has verbal instructions by Peter Russell (some in the beginning, and a few throughout the recording), some music, very easy, in the beginning and the sound of rain falling, often throughout the session... very relaxing sound.

Well it works quite strongly. Surprisingly well...  you never hear the sounds - the technology used for the effect - but they act on you anyway.

It produced an easy, smooth relaxation, nothing too deep, and at points Russell says it's ok if you lost the thread, if you drifted elsewhere mentally, don't worry it's fine, it's normal.  And in one instance I had just noticed how I had drifted and just at that moment he says something like that!  

Throughout the cd he repeats, now and then, to not try anything, not seek a result, just let things happen.

I stress again how I felt something distinctive, no cd has ever worked that well so far. It produced a nice relaxation, an ease, that I didn't have when beginning. I drifted off a few times and usually I'm more focused and controlling my thoughts, with a bit of tenseness.

This was interesting. I feel like trying again. Find out how far it can take me

Second experiment today. I was sitting a bit, instead of lying on my bed. He advises against lying on a bed (or just lying down) as it can make you more drowsy.  I must have lost the thread quite a bit yesterday because I didn't realize how much he put the emphasis on being aware of your body, just aware without trying to change anything.

This time I recall it lol

it relaxed me gently, but I was feeling a bit uncomfortable in the neck, so it -the lack of comfort- probably reduced the effect.

I still phased out. At times I thought of doing something like use the remote to turn the tv on only to realize I was lying for that meditation exercise! lol

Well, sitting..
