I know the instructions say to use these while awake, but with most programs, you can achieve SOME benefits by using them while asleep. I understand what you're saying about the long meditations. This is one reason why I really don't use the Sonic Access cds that much. Lovely meditations, but there is only so much time in a day, and I tend to gravitate to the shorter paraliminals instead.

I also have the Seeds of Enlightenment--and I doubt there's a more awesome meditation set out there. But I've had to put them aside until after the holidays. Which is fine--they'll keep. \:\)
