But they are able to regenerate, which is why when you take days off, you start seeing the effects of them again. The rest period is necessary for continuing on, but the progress is not lost; we still make positive progress with each cycle of listening to rest. In the beginning, it will most likely be the most obvious and difficult. Over time, with many cycles, I theorize that the effects will come to flow into a continuous state of calm and freedom from fear.
Numbing and covering fear is not useful for removing it. We are removing it.
That is good
My third night off last night. I have been feeling so exhausted, yesterday I slept 3-4 hours in the day and I still had to go to bed at 9 pm as I was just so fooked, I didn't do anything to make me exhausted either. It is not a normal feeling either, so it must be in relation to the program. I guess it is working on things without me consciously realising.
Spending a few nights with my girlfriend from tonight, pretty sure I am going to start using the sleep phones from now on in her presence. Mainly as I only want to focus on myself, I don't really want to think about what the program is doing to her etc. Maybe when we live together, but for now I want to just focus on myself.
For the sleep phones, I will be switching to Hybrid track and I will just use that track when I use sleep phones in the presence of my girlfriend. Then when sleeping alone, I will use the ultrasonic track through phone speakers. Obviously, if that is okay to switch between them like that.
Looking forward to hitting play for the start of round 2 tonight!
