I would say the frame of mind is the most important.
For instance, I recall not being entirely sure to purchase the crucible of the past. Then my group would nudge me a little bit to actually go for it (thx saint biceps, @IAmJonathan , I recall ).
So I purchased it, sat on the sofa, took some headphones, primed my mind not to expect results but just have an open mind as much as possible. Oftentimes that’s the most difficult when there’s a lot happening in your mind about daily life things.
I sat there on the sofa, expecting nothing, headphones on and press play. Within 10 seconds the tears started free flowing lol
(Found it here)
I recall the same “ritual” for plasma glass skin. The audio being 8 minutes sth, so in my mind I let myself completely free for the next 30 minutes, always rounding up to have more than enough time to bask in the after effects.
Again it was instantly felt, like little nanobots with little hammers working on my skin. I realised midway through the second play that two listens were more than enough.
Same for blueprint of life, one of my first ever purchases. Where I saw a timeline of life events, and order being brought to disorder. This was my review .
So the questions would remain: how can we incorporate this particular frame of mind into our daily listening habit of sometimes 10-20 audios? There’s simply no time to engage in such a relaxed way with each and every one of them.
Btw, same for one of the disco/techno events by Sammy. Just being in a relaxed state let me notice where the different energies were flowing to, and also how they tried to sync up with the music and transitions of phases in the track itself.
Tldr:
The best results I experienced were in a completely relaxed, very open and curious mindset, focusing on this one particular audio only, kind of letting myself have this experience only.
Forgot to mention: the body in a fasted state produces better results in my experience
