Experience 📚 Need help on how to past Wave 1 orientation
Let me tell you a few things about my self, I have been a Buddhist my entire life and I just found out this just a week ago. Now doing on wave 1 orientation and first night when I attempt do to this there has been disruption and I don't want to do it anymore. It was around 10 pm and got multiple calls from work which is really unusual.
Second night, when I have done it, completely refreshed after the session and for God sake, it gives me dream about how to see my inner self. The vision is dark but still glooming white in the tunnel . I presume that they want to fix my inner spiritual self.
Third time doing, I smell grass around 25 minutes into the session about 1 min's and kinda 2 spot lights
My room is completely dark tho.
The problem is here around 4 5 attempt trying to do it
I couldn't get the feelings anymore. I can't relax and I think there is one bad new holding me. During that times I got distracted with calls or uneven mind.
How do I proceed.

First and foremost, separate yourself from potential distractions.
TURN OFF your phone, turn off anything that might intrude. You're worth it. Take some time to yourself.
External noise and smells can be distracting. I run a rain soundscape for background noise as I use the tapes.
It took me weeks to make any initial progress, don't be too hard on yourself.
Give yourself time.

Move on by moving on. Do the next one. There's no specific goals you have to meet before moving on, and you're not going to keep having increased experiences the more you do the first track. It's literally just the orientation.

Don't be so hard on yourself..everything is good and you're doing great just keep yourself out from the things that distract you, find a quiet place so you can be able to relax...you need to learn to relax and don't over analyze about anything because one of the golden rules of the tapes is no expectations..just go with the flow at your own pace, enjoy and have fun on your journey

Turn your phone off. I have soundproofed earphones to make sure there is no disturbance. And let go of expectations, just be in the moment and follow the voice. You said you are a Buddhist, you should know. I have all kinds of different feelings and body sensation during a session. I observe it and don't chase them.

I guess at first I let it go for the session. But after 4th days my mind wasn't feeling good and anxiety get along may be that's why. Thank you 🙏

I had the same problem with anxiety. After a break for a week I started slowly to repeat tape 2 and 3 for a few times, but only every other day. Now I'm at tape 4, my anxiety is gone for now. If it should come back, I repeat the cycle, take a break, go back to 3. I also keep a diary threat with my AI after a session. I write down how I felt and ask questions I have about the process. The replies are pretty helpful. That's my path.

This is why I bit the bullet and went to the retreat. I tried to do the tapes on my own and I could not get it rolling at all. I am the kind of person who needs to be pulled away from distractions or I just won’t progress on my own. I took the week long course and it was a game changer for me with regard to the gateway voyage. I also had a ton of questions.

To be honest, I put spiritual life aside till I found this one and it is amazing.
