I started to listen to the last CD of Awakening Level 2 a couple of weeks ago.
It seems that now I am more able to keep focused on my breathing during meditation than I was before. I am not sure if this was because I had moved to the next CD or if my concentration got better due to the time that I have been in the program (16 months). I probably said this before, but in case you don’t know, the levels of the program subsequent to Awakening Prologue contain 4 CDs each, which progressively take you to lower brainwave patterns as you move through them.
I think it is actually a permanent improvement (and not just a temporary effect from changing CDs), because I have been able to concentrate more easily on my breathing in the last several meditation sessions.
Another thing that I noticed is that I am not having that deep relaxation feeling that I used to have every time I moved to the next CD when I was in Awakening Level 1. Now I almost don’t feel anything different when I change CDs.
I still feel deeply relaxed during meditation, but the difference is that now this deeper relaxation comes more toward the end of the section, after I got a chance to concentrate really well on my breathing. Before, this used to happen in the beginning of the CD without any effort on my part.
I still feel more energetic and probably calmer and happier than I was before starting the program.
Those euphoric periods that I used to have in the beginning are not happening anymore. It seems that after a certain time you get used to these side effects.
I still have upheavals that are probably related to the CDs. As I probably mentioned before, I am feeling more emotional, but the intensity of this feeling seems to be stable since I started to feel this way during the use of the program.
Another difference worth mentioning is that, in the previous level, some sessions seemed to last forever and I got angry and agitated during some of them. Now the sessions don’t seem to last long and I usually feel relaxed during the whole period, sometimes I even repeat the second part of the CD, which means that I sit for 1.5 hours.
