Wow, i am surprised this thread is still going. I just got an email to tell me someone had replied to my message - why i didn't get an email for all the other replies over the last few months I don't know.

Well, I haven't been using HS or anything else for most of this year and it hasn't made any difference either way, I am still tired and anxious. I tried Awakened Minds but only kept it going for a couple of months until I got bored with it, after promising such miraculous results it did nothing of course. Maybe I will try it again but I don't hold out much hope.

Reading through this thread again, some questions remain unanswered.

How do I know when I have "finished" a level of HS? It is supposed to be when it no longer feels as "powerful" as it used to, but it never felt powerful in the first place.

Falling asleep may be a sign or resistance but it is certainly also a sign of getting up at 6am and trying to meditate when you are shattered.

I have no doubt that meditation works, but I have serious doubts that HS and similar is meditation. Many people have said they do HS as well as other things like Sedona Method so how do you know which ones are responsible for any effects you may feel? Maybe if you listen to HS while sitting upright, focusing on your breathing or whatever then it has some effect, but is it you or HS that is doing it? I have a feeling it is still true that there is no easy solution and results come from your own effort.
