Hey Shannon I've got a little dilemma I've seemed to run into. Originally I thought playing the ultrasonic subliminals at a louder volume was giving me nausea. I'm pretty sure that what I feel is anxiety. The two kind of go hand in hand, so it's hard to tell for sure. However, I played the masked subliminal version and I had the same anxious nausea type feeling. So at this point I can't tell if my mind is just playing tricks on me or what.
Is it resistance to the subliminal? I was thinking it was more fear of change. The thing about this is I think on my first run through of Alpha I lowered the volume too much to get rid of the anxious feeling thinking it was just the ultrasonic frequency itself. I think this was a sneaky attempt by my mind to avoid exposure to the subliminal. I feel like I did benefit from alpha, but I might have hindered myself by making the volume too low accidentally.
I re-calibrated the volume last night and made sure I didn't lower it. This morning I felt different waking up. I'm not sure if this is just all the programming catching up from the past couple of weeks, or if the volume adjustment really improved the effectiveness.
I'm not going to lie, I do feel uncomfortable when listening to it. I might just tough it out and ignore it. I'd rather do that then lower it again and compromise my results. I'm fairly convinced it's all psychological and it is not the ultrasonic being played too loud. It's at a comfortable level when I calibrate it with the masked, enough where I can hear it through my whole room.
I know you said somewhere in the forum that the sub is more effective when it is louder or something like that. Is there any reason for this? Or is it similar to how in a room of crowded people the loudest person is heard above all the rest. If our minds are chattering away then I'd think we would need a strong powerful and audible stimulus in order to overpower those thoughts that shape our beliefs.
