Wow that sounds really cool!
So let me get this straight: I lay on bed and try to fall asleep with my arms pointed up in the air. Once I drift into sleep, my hands with drop to my sides.
What confuses me though is what is the purpose of my hands dropping to my sides? Am I trying to startle myself completey awake or is the purpose of my hands dropping to my sides is to waken my mind enough to absorb the hypnosis file as I play it while trying to sleep?
Also once I'm in this state of trace, can I let my mind drift or do I have to focus and visualize every word of the file?
