How to WILD

[BillyBob]

That pain technique is not "the way to WILD." It is just an example of how to use an anchor to keep your consciousness up. Other anchors could be anything: Passively noticing your breathing Turn on some white noise Make the room colder/hotter than usual Buy something that vibrates and tie it to your leg/let it vibrate there as you fall asleep. The reason I used pain as an example is because even the person that has almost zero willpower will be able to hold onto it as they slowly drift off. The pain method will NOT work for everyone. As someone in this thread mentioned, some people have a low tolerance for pain and will not be able to properly fall asleep due to it clouding the forefronts of their mind's (much like normal 'long' WILD methods do with breathing/etc). __ There were two things I wanted you guys to take out of this tutorial: the five step process. Sleep beforehand Get up for a little while Calm your body/mind Use an anchor Fall asleep And a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanics of "WILD." If pain doesn't seem to work for you, try low volume white noise. If that doesn't work, use your breathing. With any anchor you use, use it passively.

Thats cool, becouse only now, as we see the generalization, we may create our own modules within the process of wild. Could you please help me, answering something? There are techniques, which require mental action from one performing them. Such as visualization techniques. As they work for some people, is it becouse they are performing the visualization passively? I have read about many people, who simply create a scene in their head and move directly into that scene. I think I am understanding something wrong. Could you please tell me your opinion on this? Thx.

I tried last night. I got up after maybe 4 hours of sleep and went to the rest room. After a minute I want back to bed with my leg under my other leg. I found concentrating on somthing internal like pain hard and got nowhere. I figured out pain is not a good anchor for me, I may try a ticking clock. Good idea; is that a common anchor?
