I know this is an old thread but it seems strange to me that no one ever answered it. To me, the answer is really very simple: you are either relaxed enough during the paraliminal session or you're not. Paul's induction is designed to bring the vast majority of us into a very relaxed state but for those who are NOT becoming relaxed enough from the induction, I would suggest to prepare yourself BEFORE you turn Paul on. Do a brisk exercise session; play some meditation music; do the paraliminal session before retiring---if necessary COMBINE these that I mentioned and lower the volume of the tape to the point where you can still hear Paul's words clearly if you focus on them but also to where you could drift off when thoroughly relaxed. Also remember that the reason for listening to the paraliminal in the first place is so that the inner mind can resolve issues--issues that the conscious mind gets in the way of! Allow the recording to do the work by getting yourself relaxed AHEAD OF TIME!--- Mike
