Headaches and nausea, when resulting from subconscious resistance to what the subliminal is asking you to do, indicates that you're working through a major fear.
RE: PTSDRA 6G (Round 2) - Frosted - Have at ye - 02-12-2026
I have come to anticipate wonky headaches from time to time on PTRA and I've come to takem 'em as a sign there's a breakthrough about to happen. Usually day or two and then it's "victory lap" time.
I've had the occasional sesnation of nausea as well, but very short lived.

Nice.
In my experience, nausea is one of the signs of some of the deepest/earliest fears being worked on.
RE: PTSDRA 6G (Round 2) - Frosted - Frosted - 02-12-2026
@Shannon Makes sense. I figured there was somethin goin on up in the ole noggin.
@Have at ye Yeah nausea's been intermittent.
ION, my family member I'm exposing to PRA is changing positively. They catch themselves when being negative, and they express genuine gratitude towards me more often instead of negativity. It's a welcome change. You know, I remember having dark nights of the soul on OGSF and feeling disconnected from my family and sorrowful due to the lost connection and the downward trajectory of their lives. I'm glad I'm doing something about it now. It's been worth the hell I've been put through to stick around them.

Damn amazing, inspiring & encouraging. Geez!!

@ncbeareatingman Thanks! I'm sure you can resonate, since I remember something about your family being difficult at times
Day 5 of meditation challenge:
I'm going to be late for work since I woke up late, but I'm doing this regardless because I aint making any excuses. Actually now that I type that out I'm going to work lol. I'll find meditation time sometime later.
Day 5 of meditation challenge postponed until later...
RE: PTSDRA 6G (Round 2) - Frosted - Frosted - 02-13-2026
I ended up doing 30 minutes of focus meditation when I got time at work. Day 5 of meditation challenge complete!
RE: PTSDRA 6G (Round 2) - Frosted - Frosted - 02-14-2026
Day 6 of meditation challenge:
~Focus Meditation~
Time: 12 minutes
Stability: 2.5/5 | Clarity: 2.5/5 | Effort/Ease: 2.5/5 (1=straining, 5=effortless) | Dullness: 2.5/5 (1=very dull, 5=none)
Decent session. I had some time to go about my day for a bit before starting so I was less groggy. Also got some good sleep so that helped too. I'm also reading a book called "The Mind Illuminated" that gives the advice to intend for your goal rather than forcing it. I can get to a higher stage if I force it, but I'm easing back and just allowing the process of intention to work it's magic. After all it's not about training willpower, it's about waking up. You can't force one of those things.
~Metta Meditation~
Time: 12 minutes
Stability: 2.5/5 | Heart-warmth: 2/5 | Ease: 2.25/5 | Sincerity: 2.75/5
Felt some anxiety so this one was a little harder than normal. Still a productive session. Although every session is technically a productive session
RE: PTSDRA 6G (Round 2) - Frosted - Frosted - 02-16-2026
You didn't actually think I'd miss a day did you? Day 7. It's techinally almost 5 in the morning of the next day, but I haven't gone to sleep yet. Today was an unusual day, but I'm making the committment to do this and not miss a day. This session won't be quality, but it's about not missing a day.
Day 7 of meditation challenge:
~Focus Meditation~
Time: 10 minutes
Stability:1 /5 | Clarity: 1/5 | Effort/Ease: N/A/5 (1=straining, 5=effortless) | Dullness: N/A/5 (1=very dull, 5=none)
Garbage session. But it was beautiful garbage, because consistency. My brain is falling asleep cause it's way past my bedtime.
~Metta Meditation~
Time: 10 minutes.
Stability: 1/5 | Heart-warmth: N/A/5 | Ease: N/A/5 | Sincerity: N/A/5
Also garbage. Also beautiful.
RE: PTSDRA 6G (Round 2) - Frosted - Frosted - 02-16-2026
Yesterday I didn't mention it, but I was relaxing out of my thinking mind and into my body and suddenly I had a spontaneous moment where I didn't resist my childlike urges and I rolled headfirst onto the couch. I don't think it sounds very impressive to say, but my experience of it was significant. The intelligence of the mind surrendered to the intelligence of the body. I'm becoming so deconditioned that I'm becoming a kid again (in the best way). Remember when you just used to do stuff just because and there was no point? I remember it being the best time of my life.
Also I have this weird parallel where I feel like a black hole and the sun. I'm polarized between who I used to be and who I'm becoming. The body part of me doesn't think, enjoys the moment inherently, everythings awesome. The head part is compulsively thinking, the thinking is charged with negativity at an unconscious level (it's conscious due to PRA), it's constantly trying to find value in things because it doesn't inherently feel valuable.
Day 8 of meditation challenge:
~Focus Meditation~
Time: 10 minutes
Stability: 1.5/5 | Clarity: 1.5/5 | Effort/Ease: 2/5 (1=straining, 5=effortless) | Dullness: 1.5/5 (1=very dull, 5=none)
Lots of mind wandering. Sleep hasn't been great lately and I had gone down a rabbithole and into a thinking mode before meditating. Again, it's important to keep the structure and then build on it later. Survival of the habit is the goal. Me allowing myself to do other things because I didn't feel like meditating first thing in the morning was my way of not learning to hate meditation. I seem to have picked up this intuitive sense around these things at some point running these subliminals. If I had to point to a sub that caused it, I'd guess LTU6.
~Metta Meditation~
Time: 10 minutes
Stability: 1.5/5 | Heart-warmth: 2.5/5 | Ease: 2/5 | Sincerity: 2.5/5
Not really productive. Same reason as above. Was pleasant, even if not technically productive.
As an aside I feel really good today despite being on low sleep. Thanks PRA! Anxiety, guilt and shame are being replaced by a deep felt sense of warmth and saftey :-)
RE: PTSDRA 6G (Round 2) - Frosted - Frosted - 02-17-2026
Man, I wish I could be running AM7 stage 0 right now, but I don't want to leave my family member hanging. I thought about buying them PTSDRA or something else, but I'm not confident they will be consistent with it on their own and they're not yet in a place where I feel like they can be fine on their own.
Day 9 of meditation challenge:
I'm not gonna bother measuring cause both session were garbage. I'm not getting enough sleep and my hearts not in it besides. I did the 20 minutes though.
RE: PTSDRA 6G (Round 2) - Frosted - Frosted - 02-18-2026
Day 10 of meditation challenge. 20 minutes focus meditation after work. I really didn't want to have to because I'm low on time and I want to wind down so I can go to sleep to get up for work, but I'm not the kind of person who misses a day. Session was alright, not as bad as lately. Decent amount of mind wandering. Not much good focus besides. It's been like that ever since I lost my hyperfixation boost. Soon enough I expect I'll get energized about it again and because I'm building the habit now, I'll have the scaffolding to actually benefit from those bursts rather than constantly stopping and starting randomly and never getting anywhere.
Jealous of the people who get to use AM7 right now. You guys enjoy ;P
RE: PTSDRA 6G (Round 2) - Frosted - Frosted - 02-19-2026
Day 11 of meditation challenge. 20 minutes of focus. Again garbage, again I need to get proper sleep. At this point it's just barely better than going through the motions. But I've made a commitment so the issues isn't the meditation it's the sleep.
Had a dream at 4:45am that was very vivid and at the end I was left with the words "energy vampire". I was then woken up to a song called "Sleepless Paradise" by Mount Tyrant. Something about it struck a chord with me. Could be an uncanny coincidence or some kind of "message". I don't usually believe in that stuff, but it did seem weird from my subjective experience. Either way I'm filing it away as something interesting and I took some lessons from it regardless if it were a coincidence or supernatural. In the end who cares? The lessons don't care, and that's what's most important.
The biggest lesson I took from it after a long time thinking about every angle and steel manning everything was that I should avoid complacency and self deceptive avoidance patterns. After all, that's what "Sleepless Paradise" is about. Losing yourself as you lie to yourself about dissolving into a comfortable avoidance of your potential. There's also many more interpretations, but this is the one that seems to be the most helpful for me right now.
RE: PTSDRA 6G (Round 2) - Frosted - Have at ye - 02-20-2026
I often get particular songs stuck in my head when running subs, it's usually a reaction of my subconscious trying to find expression.
