So, I'v been trying to use a couple of WILDing methods (kingyoshi's, Billybob's breathing and third eye) They all don't work for me because I can't clear my mind and wait/focus on breathing, and i'm pretty bad at passive awareness but I can probably work on that. So I recently read about these so called external/pain anchors. It seems these would work well on me because I can just go to sleep. But I have some questions (obviously) The first is what I should use? I don't really know how noticeable/painful it should be. The next is what I should do when I'm using the anchor. Should I just have it or should I be thinking about it directly? |

From what I know about anchors you do not want to be thinking about them too directly, just use them to pull you into consciousness before you pass out. As for how painful, just remember you're going to have to go through a dream with that pain so don't make it too bad (sometimes things don't hurt as bad when unconscious, but I'm not sure about this as I haven't really used this anchor). I don't know what you should use for the anchor, but a dull pain is preferable to a sharp one, maybe try a weird position with your legs or something? If you do that don't cut off circulation. |

Anchors are kind of unintuitive. The idea behind them is that you focus on something and eventually you'll wind up in a dream. |

so lets say i have a like closepin on my nose (just a example), would I consciously be like "closepin on my nose, closepin on my nose, closepin on my nose) or would I just got to sleep and let my subconscious do the 'thinking" |

You wouldn't say words in your head, you'd just notice it. |

Well, you want to try to notice it 100% of the time. While you're doing it though you'll occasionally find that you accidentally quit noticing it. When that happens, just go back to noticing it like you were before (if you were counting instead of doing the pain anchor you'll find you've stopped counting). |
