Hey there,

WILD is a difficult technique to master. I also think it depends a lot on your own physiology, how your body goes to sleep, how quickly it goes to sleep, how deep it sleeps, and what not. That means that for some its easier then others, and for some its just hard.

Still, with confidence and perseverence, I think (hope) that just about anyone can master it.

But there's several important factors there. Don't get impatient, don't get frustrated, don't worry too much about it, don't give up. All of these things will work against you.

Additionally, yes, make sure the conditions are as easy as you can make them. Trying it while being ill is probably not a good idea, trying it while there's a lot of disturbance or noise probably isn't either. Trying it while you're pressed for time, again, probably not such a good idea.

All that said, here's how I try to look at it. Every attempt is a succes, even if I don't WILD, simply in that it teaches me a bit more about my body going to sleep, gets me more used to and aware of all the sensations I can expect to go through, and sets my intention. If I fail tonight, that just paves the way for tomorrow. And tomorrow I'll be a little more prepared.

Just my 2 cents,
