I have been lurking these forums for a long time reading about everyone's experiences with the subliminals.
2 days ago I decided to try it for myself. I have used subliminals before with minor success and I have used other brain entrainment programs. Though I have not been active anything for at least 6 months. So, fresh brain to test on.
I decided to try this one, first because it was an experimental and hey, what's life without a little experimentation.
A little about me. I'm in my 40's now, I have enjoyed a lot of experiences and I generally keep a pretty positive outlook on life. At least, I try to take the glass half full approach.
I consider myself fortunate for what I have, and what I have been able to experience.
Anyway, onto my experiences regarding the past two days.
The first night, I ran the trickling stream for about two hours, however I couldn't sleep, and so I shut it off. I started again in the morning for another hour and then walked around work like a zombie.
Last night I played all three recordings straight, while plugged into my headphones. I slept better and was OK today. I have been hungrier than usual these past two days, and today I smoked up a storm (I quit many moons ago, but today I felt a bit cavalier). I'm paying for it now. But I got it out of my system.
I also got raged a bit when some guy I was with made a cocky statement towards me. It was seriously uncharacteristic of me. I hit a bar also, and while I saw some women showing IOI's, I was not interested in the least bit in any of them.
It was a mixed feeling of "you're not good enough for me" and "I'm too tired to play".
I have to be honest, I'm wiped out. Also had headaches on both days, had to pop two excedrins today to ease the dull ache and focus in my meetings.
I felt bad about the rage later in the evening when I calmed down a bit.
Again, I'm new to Shannon's subs, and to this community. I did view a lot of the user journals and saw that my experiences haven't been unique, which is actually really comforting.
I did do one thing tonight that was very uncharacteristic of me. I sat down on the train and made small talk with a gorgeous Latina.
It didn't go anywhere and she blew me off, but it was the fact that I did it, that was interesting for me. Fun.
My first post isn't very detailed because I'm typing this out from a phone (not fun for long messages).
I just wanted to say Thank You to everyone who posts here - first for giving me the push I needed to take the dive and also sharing your experiences. It sort of prepared me for what I have been feeling.
I will continue posting my updates as often as I can. I'm exhausted and I feel like I need three days of sleep. But this is exciting for me.
Shannon, I will try to provide you some detailed reports. I have a fairly virgin brain as a test subject, and perhaps that can be helpful in giving you results on how it affects someone who is using this as a first sub.
I wish everyone an amazing journey with this sub.
Best,
Duke
