Does this mean i have to sleep with the ticks of the clock all night? or it would be enough to listen to ticks of the clock while i am reciting my affirming statement in tune with the ticks of the clock in awake state.
My husband doesn't like the sound of the ticks of the clock, so i downloaded some ticks sound to my ipod to listen to it before i go to sleep. but i don't know if i am missing something and doing it wrong.
any piece of advice would be appreciated.
Thanks for your help and guidance.

Unfortunately, the ticking sound of the clock should be there all night. You see, you program your mind to repeat it in tune with the clock, and for as long as the clock ticks, the repetition will continue inside your head.
Maybe it will also work without a clock, but it won't be nearly as effective in my opinion.
you could try to place the clock underneath your pillow, you only have to hear the sound of the clock ever so faintly, or on the floor next to your bed.
Or convince your husband to mindbeat with you
Double the results !
