Good day
I'm hoping that the veterans here who have achieved Focus 10 can answer a few questions to help me out.
I tried it before years ago, stopped because it didn't work in a month. I'm back again about to attempt it with a new headset Audio-Technica ATH-M40x (Monroe Institute website says they use the M30x and the M40x is a newer version better suited to the task). Just trying to increase my chances of it working, the M40x offers a flatter, more accurate, and neutral frequency response favored for monitoring. My first few attempts years ago were with some cheap earphones that could barely produce lower frequencies.
But before I even begin I'd like to have a baseline so that I don't have unrealistic expectations (or so I can know if to even bother as there might be other things worth testing that can be ruled out on a much shorter timeframe).
What version of the audio files should I use (or would any work if used for the right timeframe). Better yet what version did you use?
How many days/weeks/months should I listen to the "Orientation, Focus 3" audio (how long should it take to achieve Focus 3 and what exactly does it feel like - how would I know I did it)?
How many days/weeks/months should I listen to the "Intro, Focus 10" audio (how long should it take to achieve Focus 10 and what exactly does it feel like - how would I know I did it)?
Are there any nootropics or drugs (legal and safe of course, stuff like L-Theanine or maybe some kind of mushroom) that you used which sped up the process, or made it work to begin with when previously it didn't work for you?
If there are any other things you would recommend related to doing this that would increase the effectiveness of the program, what would they be?
