Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

Hi @Shannon

Past a few loops of OF ultrasonic and I notice that my eyes get very heavy and tired (but mainly just around my eyes nowhere else really)

It’s been like this since the beginning of my OF usage hasn’t really improve much yet but I’ve been pushing through (mainly play it on the iPhone at 14/16 to 16/16)

I don’t really notice the tiredness while listening to masked or hybrid (even at past 6 loops)

The interesting thing  is I have been noticing a lot of benefits and effect from OF just curious why this onset of tiredness is still presenting itself

That most likely means that approaching the specific level of awareness that Ultrasonic alone approaches triggers some resistance, which is using significantly more energy, but is still being overcome.  When the resistance is over-ridden, the tiredness goes away.  Using Masked doesn't trigger that resistance, and using Hybrid overrides it immediately.

Hi@Shannon

According to your definition of what is going on does that mean that I should focus on exclusively using hybrid moving forward (as opposed to masked or ultra sonic)?

Semi-related question: depending on the situation I have been using silent ultrasonic some days and hybrid other days. Is that ok or should I stick to the same format all the time? At this point the question applies to the upcoming LTU6.

I design these programs to be safe, useful and effective.  If that usage pattern works for you, then by all means, use it.
