Thread: Trying Gravity RC for several weeks

(sorry for the double post but I thought this thread should be bumped back up...I want to revive it maybe.)

Over the past two months, I have been working on mindfulness in my daily life. (Or self-awareness whatever you call it) It hasn't been working for me very well and I've noticed now my practices seemed to be all jumbled and disorganized and I really don't know what I'm doing anymore for practice. I've lost a ton of motivation to practice, though I still want to lucid dream really bad. I think the reason is that mindfulness isn't for me, I've found it very hard to constantly try and keep it up.

I've been thinking of alternative awareness practices to do, and my mind always comes back to the Gravity RC no matter what. So maybe this is the technique for me? I'm mad that I stopped using this technique, but this time I think that I am more dedicated and more prepared to start using it. I know now that it will take a while to train but I know the benefits are worth it in the end.

So I'm going to start practicing this technique again, and I just refreshed my memory on it by reading Azul's post on the Gravity RC. Hopefully some people come back to this thread and more people try out the Gravity RC and we can motivate each other. We can maybe even do an experiment and see how successful the RC actually is to the normal person?

Anyways, when I'm doing this RC I'm just going to be focusing on my legs or feet when I'm walking, and then the weight of my body when sitting. So basically I'll be focusing on the weight of whatever body part I'm using at the time, that seems the most natural to me. I will also say the mantra "I'm dreaming" Throughout the day as I want that thought to carry over into my dreams.

I do have a question though. I have been doing the MILD technique before bed. With the Gravity RC, would you recommend that I continue doing the MILD, or is the RC good enough that I don't need to do any technique before bed and I can still get a DILD every night after practice? Also, I don't need to be doing any other RC's like the nose-plug or counting fingers right? And is what I'm practicing seem to be sufficient? All I'm doing is the gravity RC, DJ, and a mantra, and now I'm doing a WBTB most nights of the week. Will that, after plenty of practice, start getting me tons of LD's? Also, do I need to do meditation with this? I try to meditate a few times a week but lots of times it is a hassle and I really don't have the time for it usually. (I keep editing new things in..I have never ending questions ) With this RC you also don't need to find any dream signs right? I have never really heavily used dream signs in the past because you can only become lucid when you see that dream sign. I use dream signs a little, but not heavily.

Thank you, and I hope many more people join in on practicing the Gravity RC
