Thread: Mancon's In Depth WILD Guide

And the moment I notice that, I go back to manual breathing, and that stops. So I don't know if this has any relevance, but do I need to stop this, or what should I do with it? Is that drifting off too far anyways? Any help is appreciated.

Just read this great guide, and found I'm having similiar problems. I tried counting breaths but kept falling asleep so I tried some basic maths. Here's what happened last night once I reached the illogical thought stage and tried to stay aware:

1+1 is 2...1+2 is 3...2+3 is 5...5+6 is 7...7+8 are rabbits...er 7+8 is 15...7-1 is 6 which is trying to kill five...

Lol that's all I remember, though an earlier attempt I got to the HH stage which had someone screaming in my ear...usually it's just whispers

There's a mental game I sometimes play, taking a six letter word and trying to make as many words out of that. I think I'll try that as maths isn't my strong point and I'm guessing the awareness achor needs to be something interesting enough to stay aware for.

I laughed so hard at the rabbits. From there, you can just observe your thoughts, if you'd like. That's taking most of a passive WILD approach at it.
