This will be a long post, sorry in advance.
I received my Procyon last Friday and have since experienced several sessions ranging from Quick Energy to the Night Voyage series and I am thus far thoroughly impressed.
I suffer from anxiety and severe insomnia and have tried everything from breathing exercises to benzodiazepines (Xanax, Valium etc) to help. The drugs worked the best but I stopped taking them as I started to become heavily dependent. Several months and very little sleep later I find out about mind machines and decided to take the risk considering the awesome return policy and the fact I cannot find hardly anyone talking down about them.
So, my first night with the Procyon I tried the 60 min Night Voyage as a test drive. After about fifteen minutes of sitting there thinking "What is everyone going on about" my body sunk into complete relaxation and this was my last conscious thought. I seriously have amnesia for about 30 to 45 min of the experience and only came around after the the session had ended. I thought I had some how turned it off by accident but no, it was indeed 2:30 am and I made my way to bed and fell asleep within 10 min. The following evening I repeated the process with the exact same outcome.
In the days that followed I have tried several other sessions such as Creative Visualization that really don't seem to do much. However, the experiences seem to become more profound the more I use it. The last few nights for example, determined not to space out during my Night Voyage session, I tried the 35 min. I was completely conscious throughout the session but seemed completely detached from my body. I don't think I have ever been so relaxed in my life, however I still had trouble falling asleep. When I did I was not up every hour like I normally am though. I hope my experiences were not placebo effect, and if they were I hope it continues
I read a previous post suggesting doing Creative Visualization everyday and it may help with my anxiety so I am going to give that a try for a few weeks and I will post my results if anyone is interested.
On a side note I almost forgot about, during and after some of my sessions it sometimes feels like my brain is squirming around in my head and I have a mild headache. It almost feels like the neurons are firing and even creating new pathways but this is only my wild imagination I am sure. Are headaches normal for a little while or even a side effect after/ during a session?
Thank you for reading...
