Still not getting that breakthrough

[Fiendish]

Well I've been looking at IDoser for quite a while and it's a pity so far that I've had no success yet. I own Alcohol, Condition, Content, French Roast, Ginko, Kava, Nitrous, QuickHappy, Serene, Taurine and Yerba Mate. All but nitrous are free, and I bought Nitrous so they are all the real thing. I don't think I've tried all of them, but I haven't had a breakthrough any time I've tried to dose. Just looking for some help and ideas.

I don't think I'm immune seeing as once I felt really flat (physically, like a pancake) for a split second in one dose early on so I don't think that's it. It could be my headphones (Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000) but they seem to be pretty decent so I doubt it's that either. I haven't really attempted to dose consistently. It's been a bit sporadic. Every now and again I'd try to dose. Did people who had trouble getting it to work have to dose often and regularly to hit their breakthrough?

Also, if there's anything (tips, techniques, recommendations, anything) that people can throw my way. Please do. (I don't want to buy any new doses until I can get it to work though.)

Thank you.

Yes thank you for directing me there but I have already read through that twice. I'm looking for some more detailed answers from the users.

Just a few pointers :-

1) Are you relaxed before and while dosing?

2) Are you listening to the entire dose? Listening = 100% concentrating without getting diversions

3) Are you lying on the bed like an immovable rock or moving a little bit here and there while you dose?

[Fiendish]

I'm relaxing a bit but im probs better off to relax a bit more...

I'm certainly sitting through the entire dose but I do find my concentration wonders off. I've tried counting down from a large random number and just focusing really hard on the sound but I always lose it.

I move a tiny bit but I guess I should not move at all.

I decided to give myself a better chance and I bought condition. I'm lying on my bed typing this with a que of condition then nitrous ready to go. Once I finish this, I'll give myself 5-10 min to just think and relax. I'll try and get those unneeded thoughts out now and calm myself right down. I'm going to make sure I don't move at all and I guess I'm also going to try and make sure my attention stays on the dose. Thank you for the help. I'll let you know how this goes. I'm really hoping for some results.

[Fiendish]

Well I certainly put myself in the best situation. I had perfect pitch blackness with a cover going over my eyes but giving my nose easy breathing. I wasn't cold or hot and I didn't move at all apart from a few foot twitches. I basically put on condition and nitrous in the one que and didn't really get any results. As I said, my foot twitched a few times and I also had a few tingles a bit like a bug was on my skin but nothing else. I chucked on quick happy cause it's short to see if anything would happen and still nothing. I'm pretty disappointed but I really want to get it to work so I'll keep trying. Any more help would be great.

[spiritguy]

Tell me one thing, are you thinking about the effects/expecting results while you dose?

[Fiendish]

Well I have to say I get to the point where I'm waiting for something to happen. I've tried quite a number of times now and still nothing.

[spiritguy]

I mean to say, we are not supposed to think of any results while dosing as it disturbs our mind.

[Fiendish]

I guess I'm just finding that difficult because I still haven't gotten anything. What is your preferred method of remaining focused?

[thomthoms6]

I have basically had the exact same thing happen to me, no results and I'm doing everything according to the guide. Let me know if you find a way to get it to work for you.

[Fiendish]

Will do, still looking for any suggestions from people

[spiritguy]

Take each instruction mentioned in the guide. Compare and analyze where you went wrong in the dosing session. Try to improve the next time. And practice a lot.

Do not think that you are doing everything right. If you think like that, there's no scope for progress.

Listen like a musician. Love the dose sounds. Do not expect any results. The results will come in course of a time.

[Fiendish]

I've been over the forum guide and the official guide many times. I feel like I'm doing it to the best of my abilities however that last part about loving the sound of the dose could help me. Thanks, I'll post progress soon. I think I'll dose again tonight. Do you have any suggestions for doses that I have to try?

[thomthoms6]

Do you have any suggestions for doses that I have to try?

I ask myself the same question, maybe some doses work, maybe some don't, the best way to find good doses that appear to work from the community are found on the user experiences. Check it out, and let me know of anything you find that helps you.
