Have you ever heard of the Void State? It is a pure state of consciousness that monks have talked about for centuries. This state of mind allows one to enter a space of pure potentiality, where creativity and manifestation can freely flow. It is not something that is hard to achieve; in fact, anyone can get into this state with some simple techniques. So, what is the Void State and how can you get into it?
What is the Void State?
The Void State is a state of pure consciousness, where there is no thought, no ego, and no external stimuli. In this state, one is free from the constraints of the mind, and is able to connect with their true essence. This state is also known as the state of pure potentiality, as one is able to tap into the infinite possibilities of the Universe. It is the space where all creative energy flows from.
History of Monks and the Void State
Monks have been practicing meditation for centuries, and have been able to enter the Void State through these practices. It is said that Buddha himself reached enlightenment through meditation, where he was able to enter the Void State and connect with his true essence. Monks have found that through mindfulness and silent meditation, one can enter the Void State and connect with the infinite possibilities of the Universe.
Appearance of the Void State in Religion
The Void State can be found in many religions around the world, such as Buddhism, Hinduism, and Taoism. In these religions, the Void State is known as Samadhi, Nirvana, and Wu Wei, respectively. In each of these religions, the Void State is seen as the state where one can connect with the divine and the infinite possibilities of the Universe. It is a state where one can find inner peace and enlightenment.
As we know in It’s simplest form, the void state is an experience of complete emptiness and stillness, where the mind is completely silent and there are no thoughts or sensations. This state is often described as a feeling of oneness with the universe, where the boundaries between the self and the external world dissolve, and the individual consciousness merges with the larger consciousness of the universe.
In many religious traditions, the void state is considered to be the ultimate goal of spiritual practice, as it represents a state of enlightenment and liberation from the cycle of suffering and rebirth. In Buddhism, for example, the void state is known as Nirvana, which can be translated as "extinction" or "blowing out," referring to the cessation of suffering and the release from the cycle of rebirth.
The history of monks and other spiritual practitioners in various traditions is often linked to the pursuit of the void state. For example, in Buddhism, monks and nuns devote their entire lives to meditation practice in order to achieve enlightenment, which is seen as the ultimate goal of human existence.
The void state can also be found in other religious traditions, such as Taoism and some forms of Christianity. In Taoism, for example, the Tao Te Ching speaks of the importance of emptiness and stillness in achieving harmony with the universe, while in Christianity, contemplative prayer and meditation are used to achieve a deeper connection with God.
Despite its association with religious practice and spiritual discipline, the void state is not inaccessible or difficult to achieve. In fact, many people can experience this state of consciousness through simple techniques such as breath awareness, relaxation, and visualization.
Other manifesters and spiritual teachers, such as Abraham Hicks and Eckhart Tolle, also emphasize the importance of mindfulness and being present in the moment as a way to access the void state and achieve greaterpeace and harmony in one's life.
So no, a bunch of teen girls on tumblr did not discover nor did we make up this concept. Take it off the pedestal rn! it’s been here since the dawn of time, and will be continued to be used even if you choose to give up. so it doesn’t matter how many creators or anons lie about achieving it lol. we’re not the only ones pursuing this journey, so do some research outside of tumblr please.
Easy Ways to Get into the Void State
Entering the Void State is not as hard as one might think. One simple technique is mindfulness meditation, where one focuses on their breath and brings their attention to the present moment. This technique helps to calm the mind and enter a state of pure consciousness. Another technique is to simply sit in silence and let go of all thoughts and external stimuli. This can be done for a few minutes every day, and can help one to connect with their true essence and the infinite possibilities of the Universe.
Another technique for entering the void state is through the use of affirmations and visualization.By focusing on positive, affirming thoughts and visualizing themselves in a state of emptiness and stillness, individuals can begin to access the void state and experience the peace and clarity that comes with it.
Another technique to achieve the void state is to use delta waves, which are a type of brainwave that is associated with deep sleep and meditation. By listening to Delta wave music or binaural beats, one can easily enter into a relaxed state and experience the benefits of the void state.
Many manifesters, such as Neville Goddard, have talked about the power of the Void State in manifesting one’s desires. By entering the Void State, one is able to tap into the creative energy of the Universe and manifest their desires into reality. Neville Goddard talked about the power of visualization in entering the Void State, where one can visualize their desires as already being fulfilled. This technique helps to align one’s thoughts and energy with their desires, and enter the state of pure potentiality!
I’m listing the popular ways, but you can truly use whatever methods or non method you prefer! Whatever method you have successfully used to manifest in the past, and you feel confident about, use that for the void state. You don’t have to start a new journey when you find a new concept if you have one that works for you already.
Anyways I wanted to make this post because I get so many asks about the void state when it’s honestly one of the more simipilar forms of manifesting. I’m going to answer a lot of them here, so I don’t get them rundunatly in my ask :)!
Q: can I manifest anything, revise my entire life, manifest my sp, becoming a billionaire, become a cat?!!
A: yes you can do anything. Anything. No more can I do this questions. You know the answer and if you keep worrying about your doubts you need to work on your self concept
Q: is our desires immediate?
A: yea if that’s what you want
Q: is it better to wake up in the void or enter the void
A: that depends on you. If you hate awake methods and symptoms or whatever use a sleep method. If you don’t mind it and see better results doing awake methods, so an awake methods. For my ND people it’s better to do sleep methods imo but don’t limit yourself to others experiences either
Q: can I enter the void if I’m autistic/depressed/ have anxiety/ adhd
A: yes I’m all of those things. Why would the law only be for neurotypical people?
Q:can I shift or astral project using the void state
A: yes of course you can, you can use it for anything
Q: can I use lucid dreaming to enter the void ?
A: yes I have a guide in my pinned that covers that
Q: if you’re a master of the void state why isn’t your life perfect and bad things still happen
A: if you have this mentality you’re odd. Everyone on here is still human. And tbh once you’ve reached this place in your journey, you’re not revising every little thing in your life. We want to feel human, and have human experiences. We know we are safe and everything will always work out in our favor. Life isn’t a constant manifesting checklist to become the ultimate unscathed,unhurt god. That seems very weird and would give me cognitive dissonance. My life is already greater than most just because I found the law. Will I revise a bad test score. Yes. But I’m not revising every little thing that makes me sad, mad or is inconvenient to me.
Q: if you can enter easily why not manifest for all of tumblr
A: my reality is my reality, your reality is your reality. If it was that easy we would. When you enter the void you’re free to manifest for all of tumblr :)!
Q: In your opinion what stops people from entering the void
A: I would say procrastination. Not in a bad way, but most of the the time we see our desires in the future tense. “I cant wait to get my desires.” We can see our desires in the future, our future selves living our life shut rarely do we imagine us with them right now. More like watching a move of ourselves in the future with our desires which just keeps delaying them. Identity with the inner man, not your future self.
Q: can you succeed even with bad circumstances
A: most of us found this because of bad circumstances. Of course you can
Anyways, I just wanted to make this post bc I get so many questions about it! If you want more specific content related to the void I recommend these creators: @gorgeouslypink @sanita223 @itsravenbitch @kissmebadkarmauh @blushydior and ofc @voidsuccess
I talk about everything in a generalized way but I’m more catered to shifting! These bloggers will show you the best methods, videos, and techniques related to the void imo, but don’t over consume <3!!!

| CLEARING SOME DOUBTS + MOTIVATION FOR VOID AND MANIFESTATION |
DISCLAIMERS:
1. Strong language (i swear a lot), sarcasm ahead, tough love typa shit. This is meant to be helpful and reassuring but I'm not going to treat y'all like you're made of sugar and talk like I'm from 50 years ago. Deal with it or not.
2. English is not my first language. So, there can be many grammatical mistakes.
So, lately I see a lot of people questioning law of assumption and void like "is this even real?" "I saw this post on reddit and they say manifestation is not real" "void isn't real, it never worked for me"
well guys, rather than sending hundreds asks to bloggers, just try to manifest once in your life? It's not like you're doing this for someone else. You're doing this for YOU, for YOUR OWN SELF. THEN WHY THE PROCRASTINATION?
Secondly, use your own fcking mind okay? Why do you even listen to people who are judgemental and just always shittin around? Do what benefits you!! If reddit doesn't benefit you then delete it.
Thirdly, VOID IS REAL!! 100% tested and proven by hundreds and thousands people but you still chose to believe one of those who don't believe in void. Great, right? Also, just because you failed to enter void once or twice doesn't declares that 'void isn't real'. It's okay to doubt after a failure, it's human nature but get your shit together alright? Get right back on track because IF YOU WON'T, THEN WHO WILL DO IT FOR YOU? Only you can change your life girlie!!
Now, look this is on you. If you want to have your dream life, you can have it right now but you choose to waste your time reading anonymous's success stories rather than making your own. Why don't you take it upon yourself? AND JUST DO IT? WHY NOT? IF THEY CAN THEN WHY CAN'T YOU? WHAT'S STOPPING YOU? The method is not the problem, swallowing or staying still is not the problem. It's you!! If only you could have some faith in yourself, then you would be living your dream life rather than crying over your shitty life right now. Believe me or not, but only you can change your life. ONLY YOU! No one will do it for you, not even your favourite goddess blogger. (Also, they have their own personal life so please stop spamming asks and disturbing them with your stupid annoying questions which has been already answered millions times. Yes, they've been answered millions times!!!)
All you have to do is change your mindset , affirm and get that dream life. THEN WHAT'S STOPPING YOU FOR FCKS SAKE? YOU CAN'T EVEN DO THAT MUCH? IT'S JUST SO EASY. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO OVER COMPLICATE IT? Manifesting is just like breathing = Natural, easy and effortless. But you still choose to over complicate it and then be like "Why it's not working, pls help" Listen gurl, the bloggers don't know what is going through your head 24/7, only you do. Only you can point out your own mistakes and work on your self concept.
I mean I get it, really. Your whole life, you've been told that ONLY hard work can make you achieve great things but suddenly you get to know that you're the god of the reality and that you can get THAT BIG ASS MANSION, MERCEDES AND KIM TAEHYUNG IN YOUR ARMS JUST BY AFFIRMING. Yes it's hard to believe sometimes but shouldn't you be happy? That all you have to do is sit back and relax. Shouldn't you be happy that you don't have to work 24/7 to earn good money? SHOULDN'T YOU BE HAPPY THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS JUST CHILL?? Yes, you should be but you silly goose choose to procrastinate.
"The cost of procrastination is THE LIFE YOU COULD'VE LIVED" (LET THAT SINK IN)
So what are you even waiting for? You already know how void and law of assumption works then why are you lurking on Tumblr 24/7? Why don't you take a break and show up on Tumblr with your own success story? Just go and get THAT LIFE BABY. TRUST ME IT'S SO EASY. Once you get it, you'll understand how stupid you were to procrastinate.
So the conclusion is, chill and relax babe and get that dream life. It's just so easy. You don't need to stress over it. It's just so fun and effortless. You can have a great journey ahead but only if you put some efforts in. i Hope to see y'all spamming some good ass success stories, alright? Good luck y'all <3
— ONLY YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE —
DISCLAIMERS:
1. Strong language (i swear a lot), sarcasm ahead, tough love typa shit. This is meant to be helpful and reassuring but I'm not going to treat y'all like you're made of sugar and talk like I'm from 50 years ago. Deal with it or not.
2. English isn't my first language. So, there can be many grammatical mistakes.
Yes, you read it right. Only you can change your life not your favourite goddess blogger then WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU ASKING THEM TO MANIFEST FOR YOU? GURLLL REALLY? DO YOU THINK THEY'RE ABOVE YOU? DO YOU THINK YOU'RE LESS OF A GOD JUST BECAUSE YOU'VE NOT ENTERED VOID YET? GURL, you have your whole life ahead you. If you will let some limiting beliefs hold you back from achieving the things you deserve, then that's it. It's done. You're never going to get your desires or desired life and YOU WILL HAVE NO ONE TO BLAME BUT YOURSELVES!!
Now now, do not come for me. I said what I said and I mean it 100%. (And I'll prove it below)
Tell me honestly, why haven't you manifested your desires by now? Why? What's the reason?
— LACK OF PERSISTENCE? LACK OF DISCIPLINE? LACK OF FAITH? OVERCONSUMPTION? PROCRASTINATION? LAZINESS? LACK OF DETERMINATION? INABILITY TO ACCEPT A FAILURE?
So now, who's fault is that? Start taking accountability for your procrastination and lack of persistence. Because if you won't, then you will not be disciplined enough to achieve your desires.
All i want to say is— TIME WON'T STOP FOR YOU! Rather than wasting your time thinking about how others are lucky to enter void at their first try, start affirming and PERSIST IN THEM, BELIEVE IN THEM!! BECAUSE SWEETHEART LISTEN— L I F E G O E S O N ! ! ! STOP WASTING YOUR LIFE LIKE THIS!! AND START WORKING YOUR ASS OFF. and by working, I do not mean to go and start taking action in real life, NO.
1. Make yourself a routine (which is what I'm doing for you right now but anyways). Listen to subliminals or listen to brown, white noise or litteralyyy any music (yes, you can also listen to your favourite song which calms you down). Just anything to calm you down, to relax you, to put you in a good mood.
2. Start AFFIRMING and do not let negative thoughts take over. (Once you start affirming, leave the old story behind because GURRLLL THAT'S NOT YOU ANYMORE!! ALWAYS PERSIST IN THE NEW STORY) You can either do a challenge (like 10k or 20k affirmations) or just affirm robotically for 10 minutes every hour. Saturate your subconscious mind with good and positive affirmations.
3. You can also do the self hypnosis thingy by konniesreality (it's optional)
4. Also, do any meditation or Yoga Nidra at anytime of the day you feel comfortable (It would be better if you do it right before entering void). In my opinion, yoga nidra feels much better (ALSO, DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN ENTER VOID WITH YOGA NIDRA MEDITATION? HEHE) It will clear your mind in minutes. It also relaxes your body. But everyone has different choices, so do whatever feels good for you because that's the major point.
5. At night, set the fucking intention and just go for it.( You can do any method which seems suitable for you) YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE!! TRY TO PUT SOME EFFORTS ONCE IN YOUR LIFE GOD'S SAKE. IT CAN IMPROVE YOUR LIFE OVERALL SO MUCH.
I'm rooting for you baby, I know you can do it. You just need a little hard push and that's what I'm here to do. So listen to your desires and most importantly, listen to yourself. You can do this!!
Good luck y'all <3

Secret to the void
---------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Well this should have been the basics to the void but as y'all love to overcomplicate things the basics took place of the secrets. What i mean is that the points i am about to tell y'all aren't some fancy stuff, it's just some simple rules and if you follow that there is no goddamn power in this world which can stop you from entering the void. Just do as i say and BOOM you are -
"In the void".
So here we go MF'S :
The problem
Before i start with the method i want to clear few things. These are the normal cause or the problems people face which leads them to the failure to void.
Y'all really think about it 24/7 that eventually you get to a point where you start doubting it .
Void isn't anything external it's within "YOU", it's "YOU". The void is simply pure consciousness where you are GOD that's why whatever you affirm, visualise or believe becomes true.
Another misconception is that you have to work on your self-concept or you have to assume that "void is easy" not at all honey you don't have to do all this, like why would you assume something which is already a fact.
The sky is blue it isn't green, purple or brown because it's a fact we don't have to assume it .
The sun rises from east because it's a fact.
We live on earth not on saturn or jupiter as it is a fact.
We are humans not animals or plant Do we have to assume this ?
Then why would you assume for the void, it's already a fact It is Easy. You don't have to assume it baby .
The solution
Now as we talked about the problems let's get to the solutions. Well to get into the void you only need one thing and that is "Peace of mind" yeah that's all and you can get it by following ways:
Step-1: Lay down and relax your body, imagine you are here for a body massage and they told you to relax .
Step-2: Now i would recommend you to listen to a meditation although it's not compulsory but to calm your mind it's the best thing you could do, it can be a guided meditation, frequency or some calming music. Personally i like to listen to this meditation ( do check out the comments for fun ) when you listen to it calm your fucking mind down if any thoughts come let it go and if you find it hard , just focus on your breathe.
Step-3: Do this meditation until you feel totally calm, when there are no thoughts in your mind start affirming 'I am void' and repeat it again and again make sure to only focus on affirmation . Within 2-3 min you will get the floating feeling but again don't focus on it (its still okay if you don't get symptoms, you will still get into the void).
Step-4: BOOM you are in the void yah it's that easy honey! Now affirm for your desires and there you go live your motherfucking life.
Step-5: Now as you know you have manifested all your desires either you can check them out or go to sleep ( i went to sleep as i am a lazy fucking ass lol! :)
How it really works?
I know it was easy af . Now it works because you listened to the mediation and it calmed your mind and that's all you need to enter the void once your mind is calm and you affirm for void your mind instantly got you and takes you to the void. Whereas on the normal days there are millions of thoughts going in your mind or maybe in the background which you don't realise and hence you never end up going there.
That's why i say you never need a good self-concept, persisting, living in the end or assuming to enter the void. Because void is your "GOD STATE" and do you think to enter your 'God state' you need to do any of these NAH! so now shut the fuck up and go do what i said and the next thing you'll have is your dream life bruhh!!!
Quick note:Do share your success stories with me i would love to read them :)
I love y'all
✨XoXo✨

Hey girl I love love love ur posts smmm like they helped me so so much. I’ve known about the void for around 4 months and I struggled at first because I realized I was so scared of the void and change and that resulted in me getting super lazy and attempting like one every 2 weeks but I got over that so anyways I’ve always wanted to wake up in the void so ur command ur subconscious post is my holy grail and I’ve been attempting it for a small amount of time but every time I do it I’m like “omg I’m 100% guaranteed no doubt abt it gonna enter tonight” (I use the konnies reality sub) anyways every time so far I end up waking up in the morning not really remembering falling asleep and it’s hard to put into words but I think I just fall asleep so fast that I don’t have time to do the command for ten minutes. Also I know this sucks and ur not supposed to like have a deadline but I have try outs for a sport next week and I’m super nervous and I have a breathing disorder so I can’t run at all well and that’s something I’m changing in the void so… Any tips?
tysmmmmm ily 💕
Heyy babe , omg tysm this means a lot to me<33. I love you way more ♡.
I know right, I love that post sm myself :^). Ok Hun, since you wanna wake up in the void state , I'll advise you towards that. I'll know you like the " commanding subconscious" post , I'll start with that one , first.
Firstly, the sub is awake when we are sleepy and relaxed, basically before bed. Because our conscious mind can't interfere with our Manifestations.
Before bed :
Pro tip : You can still wake up in the void Affirming even after falling asleep while Doing it. You can affirm for 3 minutes, remember our last thoughts of the day our sub starts to work on. Your last thoughts should be waking up in the void state.
1. Become relaxed and centred.
2. Take some deep Breaths
3. When you are totally relaxed, start commanding your subconscious
You could say ,
- Subconscious I will wake up in the void state tonight .
- Subconscious wake me up in the void at 1am( if you want a timeframe or choose a time when you want it to happen , anything is possible).
- Subconscious I will wake up in the void state tonight .
But I'll share the methods to get in an hypnotic state of mind to plant suggestions .
- Roll your eyes upward
- Breath in and out 4 times
- Start to imagine Yourself , going down a stair case. And say to yourself with each step you going deeper. Once you in a trance state. Start giving yourself suggestions :
" Tonight I will wake up in the void state aware ", " I wake up in the void soon as I fall asleep aware " .
Eye fixation -
"For example, you can simply tell yourself you are feeling more relaxed and that your eyelids are feeling heavier, using your internal dialogue. You could imagine them closing and getting heavier during the straining process. You can imagine them closing and imagine how much more relaxed they’ll be when closed. You might remember times when you have been drowsy or sleepy and your eyelids felt heavy and wanted to close". - The science of self hypnosis, Eason Adam.
How I enter the void
okok so i know in my pinned post i used to have “don’t ask me about the void i don’t use the void for manifesting” but now that i’ve actually entered it my life was changed. like literally, i redid my whole life.
i was honestly a negative nancy about the void because i had a bad self concept when i first tried entering it but now that those are gone here’s how i do it 😋
i firstly wait until i’m pretty tired but not too much so i don’t fall asleep
so this is definitely optional, i’ve entered the void without it but i usually do it if i’m in a bad headspace beforehand.
i use this meditation and i usually never finish it because i enter the void as it’s playing, it seriously works so well
(i also affirm that i am the void and i am pure consciousness throughout the whole meditation)
but if i don’t enter the void during the meditation, i lay down on my stomach so i’m seeing nothing but pitch black and saying void affirmations. i make sure my eyes are looking down but they’re still closed, idk why but that helps with dissociation
i also make sure i’m in control of my breathing
and then usually i’ll feel cold then i feel like i’m floating and everything disappears.
and once i realize i’m in the void i affirm my desires and leave
and that’s it!
(i’ve already manifested my dream life when i went to the void for the first time, so it’s not much)
hey guys! ive been on a break but ive been working on some things and i have a lot of exciting things planned coming up but anyways, i wanted to share 2 things with you guys that i came across.
Something that I've been looking into is hypnosis. Hypnosis is basically hypnotists guiding you into a deep state of consciousness where you are suggestibile to what they're saying right? So wouldn't it be plausible that there is a way to guide you into the void state in a guaranteed way. Hypnotists should have ways to deal with more stubborn minded clients and I feel like their methods would help those struggling to enter the void through meditation. That's basically what was in my head as I was doing my research when I came across this video which I think will really help a lot of people:
Basically it's meant to take you into a deep trance and basically make all future trances deeper and easier to reach, which I feel like will really help people attempting the void through meditation as it's meant to make reaching deeper levels of consciousness easier! I might be getting ahead of myself here but remember when the void was first introduced and it was just laying down and affirming till you reached. It worked for a lot of people but then the people who couldn't enter, including me, all started looking into other methods and made it so complicated. But if everyone could just do this hypnosis and gain the ability to enter a deeper state of consciousness easier, then we could just go back to the basics and everyone could become those success stories where they just meditate for 15 minutes and enter. I always say that meditation for the void isn't compatible with everyone because some people struggle with tapping into deeper states of coniousness and focusing but this could ppssibly be a solution to that.
Another thing I came across is this video:
There's a comment whom I'm pretty sure entered the void state but the music is a bit unsettling but you can try it out.
Personally I really want to hear people's experiences with the first video and I really hope people will acctually try it. I genuinely feel like this could help a lot of people's journeys so please try it out and let me know!!
I want to share a technique for the void! I don't remember what it's called but it works wonders.
It's called the sslid method for lucid dreaming in case anyone wants to do more research on it!
Ahh tysm , I was tryna find the name for it ♡. Your a life saver :^).
Ok, guys so I researched the method soon as I saw this ask and came across this entire guide on it. I'll copy and paste it here, so everyone can see<3.
Link to the original post
SSILD (Senses Initiated Lucid Dream) lucid dream technique :
" SSILD is a modern lucid dreaming technique. It is easy to learn, highly effective, and produces consistent results over period. I developed this technique in 2011 in order to teach lucid dreaming to fellow dreamers on a Chinese forum. The first written version of the technique was published under the title “太玄功”, which literally translates to “A Very Mysterious Technique”. This is rather fitting because at the time no one had the faintest idea why it worked. Despite this lack of theory, the feedback on the technique was overwhelmingly positive. Within just a few months we gathered many hundreds of success stories"
The core component of SSILD is called a “Cycle”. Each cycle consists three steps:
Focus on Sight: Close your eyes and pay attention to the darkness behind your closed eyelids. Don’t strain your eye muscles though. Your eyeballs should be resting, totally relaxed. If you don’t see anything that’s only normal. Do not attempt to spot visuals by moving your eyes around.
Focus on Hearing: Further relax your eyes and shift your attention to your ears. If the room is quiet enough you might be able to hear some noise inside your head or the sound of your heartbeat. However, if you can’t hear anything it is okay to listen to external sounds too
Focus on Somesthetic Senses (Touch): Direct your attention to your body. Feel it and see if you spot any unusual sensations such as tingling, heaviness, lightness, spinning sensations, and so on. If nothing like these can be felt, you can also try to feel the weight of the blanket, your heartbeat, temperature of the air, etc.
The repeated stimulation on the senses enables SSILD to condition our mind and body into a subtle state that is optimized for lucid dream to occur naturally. We should keep this in mind so we don’t make the common mistake of “trying too hard” during the cycles. Beginners usually want to see things, hear things, and feel things. When nothing unusual happens they become discouraged or even desperate. Avoid this mistake at all cost! One should not expect to experience anything phenomenal during the Cycle. In fact, it is better to expect NOTHING at all will happen.
The Steps :
Go to bed early, preferably before 11pm. Set your alarm to wake up after 4 or 5 hours.
Get out of bed and stay awake for 5-10 minutes. I suggest you visit the bathroom, rinse your mouth, and walk around or stretch a little bit. Try not to become too awake though.
Return to bed and lie down in a comfortable position, preferably different from the one you usually use. This is to prevent you from falling into sleep prematurely. However, if you are the type of person who requires extra effort to fall asleep, you may want to use the usual position instead.
Perform the “Cycle” quickly, repeat 4-6 times. This serves as a warm-up exercise so each step should be very short, a few seconds should be sufficient.
Perform the “Cycle” slowly, repeat 3-4 times. This step is the most important one. You should take extra time during each step. Thanks to step 4, at this point you should have become sufficiently relaxed and you will find focusing on the senses become much easier. For example, your eyes will feel more relaxed, and you may get visuals such as lights, colors, or movements. You might also notice that the external sounds seem to be fading into the background. Do not get excited though. You should observe quietly and after a while move on to other senses. As far as timing goes we are flexible, but in general each step should take no fewer than 30 seconds.
