Stress Relief

[Shannon]

Hi all,

I've been listening to Stress Relief for the past couple of months. I put the ultrasonic version on before I go to sleep. However, I notice when I use the tickling stream version (which I can hear), I feel relaxed within 5 minutes. 

I don't feel this relaxation effect (or any effect) when I listen to the ultrasonic. Still, I'm using that one because I find it difficult to sleep when hearing a sound. 

So I'm wondering: how can I be sure ultrasonic subs are working for me when I don't feel an effect? The tickling stream version of this sub definitely work for me but listening 8+ hours/day to a version that produces hearable sound is a challenge...

Alright, so what you're experiencing is that one format is affecting you better than another because of the volume difference.  Masked format is much quieter subliminalized audio than Ultrasonic is at the same volume because the Mask is the thing you set the volume by and it is hiding the subliminalized audio.  An ultrasonic track will present the subliminalized audio to your subconscious mind at the same volume as the masked track is presented to the conscious mind.  

The quieter the subliminalized audio, the deeper the levels of awareness are required to detect, decode and execute it.  That means different formats "hit" different levels of your subconscious mind, which gives you options for achieving results with one that you may not to achieve with another, as you have observed.

The good news is, ultrasonic can be turned down in volume until you find a similar volume as the subliminalized audio of the masked format.  The bad news is, I don't know how to guide you in terms of how much you'll need to reduce the volume of the ultrasonic to make it the equivalent of the masked track.  Maybe start off by halving the volume of the ultrasonic and see how that goes for that day, and then reduce the volime 1 click each day until you get to the effects of the masked track?

Basically when the ultrasonic produces no apparent effect, but the masked format does, you have a subconscious fear response trying to resist execution of the ultrasonic track.  Usually this would suggest fear of being told what to do, losing control of oneself, etc.
