It’s shifted a bit over the years.
a) During listening. I can notice emotional shifts, sometimes a centering of focus. The novelty of a new program seems to really grab my attention
b) Medium is actually an hour or two after my initial loop. This is the point where the script starts interacting with my existing beliefs. The start of the alchemical process of those emotions meeting. Sometime with the subtlety of oil and water. Slight recon becomes noticeable here. I have to make sure I acknowledge it otherwise it starts building then getting back to it later is like tackling a mountain.
c) Significant marked effects is usually at least 3 weeks of exposure after the 5 day washout. This is when I start doing stuff automatically and really have to reflect on myself to see if I’ve overlooked any massive changes. This is the point where stuff has integrated and no longer clashes with other internal beliefs. Without that clashing it’s easy to be like “this isn’t impressive, I’ve always done this or felt this” .
