I am trying this stuff out, but I am having trouble with the focusing part.
I always start thinking about other things while trying this, which makes the dose not work.
What do you people focus on when listening? Do you picture a solid black image in your mind?

I've seen other people talking about how they concentrate, but what I do is totally nothing. I just clear my mind and let it drift. It sometimes catches some things, but they just go away pretty fast. This works best for me, I tried concentrating in different ways but then doses have smaller effect on me

I kinda feel like you too
And about the thinking about other things-part, I especially have that when I'm alone. (I don't know why)
I read a few things like that you should count down from 1000 to 0
and from my own experience, I can say that it could help when you just pretend you'd want to fall asleep.

Okay, but that's our problem.
Clearing your mind is easier said then done for some people.
We just can't do it.

I count down from a 3 digit number. Seems to work for me the best then anything else.

You don't really need to completely clear your mind. Just get yourself in a meditative state by focusing on one thing. When you focus on just one thing, your mind is able to clear everything else out of it, which is can be very relaxing. That's basically the whole concept behind meditation, which is to reduce stress and have peace.

Since I haven't tried anything yet, I would like to ask -
if the dose doesn't work does it always mean that you fall short on the concentration part?
Or could it be you’re under dose or worst it just doesn’t fit you?
