Hey Guys,
I used one of my "jump ahead" times (only was tempted and gave in 3 times) to listen to LF6 CD with the volume so low (did i hear "owls"???) just to test the "subdued volume method" and yes it "pulled me into a very relaxed state"...
Although that said, I currently still have the volume at a medium setting. I do like many of the sound scapes and if I find I am "growing tired" of them I "rethink" my attitude and I find I can appreciate them again...
Currently, I am on LF8 and am going with LF8 for another month just to "get back" to the initial 60 day plan (I did LF9 in one month though I listen to it still at bedtime as my wife is on LF9 still)...

.
So in effect I will be each level "intermixed" for a good stretch as our (my wife and I) journeys progress...
For the most part I have not had much "overwhelm" in these early levels as observed by others I have read on this forum. At this time I do find I perhaps "fall asleep" (even in the chair) most times (could be the early morning workouts) and "come to" in the few minutes before the end of the track..
I will endeavour to add an extra hour of sleep as people on this forum have suggested but all in all the "amazing relaxed body" after every session is the "max" and "tuning" the meditation "awareness" will come in time..........no hurry as the important thing is this journey will be a "well travelled round trip" in the years ahead as ALL the levels will become "destination points"..

Oh ya Gus BTW (Bushmaki) you have had a profound edge from "day one" when i first visited this forum..........

shine on
