Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Paraliminals, Paraliminal Resets, Paraliminal Walkabouts, Natural Brilliance, Sonic Access Addicted to the Paraliminals

Thanks for all your replies. I appreciate it.
Since I posted my initial note, I have listened to less paraliminals a day. About 3 or so (it was closer to 5 previously). I guess my worry of addiction comes not only from the frequency of listening, but of my seeming beginning dependency of them to deal with certain life situations. I find myself wanting to listen to them, say, before I have to go see my parents (whom I have an awkward relationship), or meet someone if I worry about the outcome of the meeting. I guess I am worried about possible addiction because I see similar patterns of usage as when I was addicted to marijuana. I used to rely on pot to handle certain situations. For certain kinds of situations, it wouldn't feel right if I didn't first smoke pot. And I see myself doing something similar with the paraliminals. Presumably, the effects of the paraliminals should be more like a "cure" more than a "fix". But the way I am using them, I am afraid that it may even be negatively contributing to the potential long term effect of them on me.

That's what I mean by relying on them. I don't want to be in a situation when, say, if I misplaced my ipod before an important meeting, I feel even more nervous than usual, because "oh no, I didn't have my paraliminal boost", I will now definitely fail". Etc. Etc.

That was qute verbose, and not particularly articulate. Hope in so many words, you understand what I mean. Thanks.

Some people get the same reaction from partners when they start meditating daily.

I do suggest this, more than three Paraliminals a day is overkill. It's telling yourself you don't trust yourself to do it on your own. Becomes a bit like a baby's security blanket. If you're on holidays you can manage 5, occasionally.

I think if you lie back and listen to more than 3 Paraliminals a day on an ongoing basis you need to ask yourself what you are really avoiding? You're not actually putting yourself into situations where what you developed with the Paraliminal to that extent every day. Is listening to 3 Paraliminals better than playing WoW or similar? I don't know for one person it WoW can be an addiction that is unhealthy and causes them to withdraw from the world and their environment. For another it opens them up to the world around them.

How much are you using the Paraliminals and are you afraid to use them a little less. Is time listening to Paraliminal more important than time with your girlfriend. I think those are the things you need to consider.

I love Paraliminals but don't listen everyday. I can go without listening for months and then decide I need a hand. That's when I use a Paraliminal again for two or three days. Sometimes a week but then I stop.

Hi, lovefungus,
Your reply was plenty articulate. Your paraliminals problem is much clearer since you gave some specifics. Having been young in the '60s and '70s, I recall a teacher friend who smoked pot before leaving for school in the mornings. He claimed he needed it to face his classes.

Having just spent a day with close relatives during which I was aware of the dysfunctional relationships in my family (although they wouldn't acknowledge it), that would be something to tackle with my Sonic Access Relationship CD. I've only had the program one week, and just using the Success CD for a problem I have with clutter and disorganization.

Good luck. When you have paraliminals success with these problems, I'd like to hear about it.
