Are you wandering along the KSMO path, reviewing the protocol so diligently, yet all-too-easily distracted by each new and shiny sensation along the way? Starting each session with the best intentions, only to find yourself lapsing into--shall we say--pre-KSMO patterns, or second-guessing the protocol for no real reason, or just ... accidentally spacing out?
Then we may just have something in common! Wander this path with me, and let's try to keep each other out of the deep woods and away from the evil witch's house.
Not to worry; if we really get lost, there are many good KSMO elves here to rescue us!

Posted 11th January 2009 at 07:39 by moregasm
Long before I discovered KSMO or anything remotely like it, I was driving along some interminable Western highway trying to relax my tired legs. Somehow, I relaxed them just right, and my whole lower body sort of floated into a very sexual place! I had no idea what it was or how it had happened, and at the time, I perceived no abdominal or prostate component to the feeling. I often tried recreating the feeling, with mixed results, but I say "mixed" because it was sometimes quite good! There was no breathing pattern involved, just a certain kind of leg-muscle relaxation.
Well, I had forgotten about the whole thing for years, when I got on board the KSMO cruise liner (I know, terribly mixing up my forest path metaphor!), and my early echo effects immediately reminded me of those relaxed-leg feelings. Not the same, mind you, but similar enough to bring back the memory.
It seems that was my first trouble, because I was so curious about that old sensation that I kept trying to return to it and then put it alongside the new KSMO sensations, and so during KSMO I often ended up drifting away from the sound altogether, floating along wondering what would happen. Naturally, I had also found the Aneros device at about this time, and as I'm never one to under-do things, I had begun the Aneros practice too, so I ended up throwing in Aneros-type technique while supposedly doing a KSMO session without the device yet not making the sound, and wondering how to connect it to that old feeling, etc. Very confusing!
And so it was for months, wandering among all these new shiny things for several weeks at a time and then getting too busy and taking month-long breaks. I had a lot of fun, plus (I think) a few mini-O's, but when I inevitably began to wonder when I might "get there," the fact that I knew I was off the path made it hard to keep confidence!
Finally, a month or two ago, I returned to these forums for some idle late-night browsing, and after reading many posts--by mog and Laly and Ambient and others--I got excited about really learning KSMO "for real." I decided to put away the Aneros and forget that "old feeling" to let my body and nervous system learn the KSMO response without distraction. As Jack says, once I get to a good level with KSMO, I can start to play again. I'm looking forward to that, but now I feel I can wait.
Rereading the PDF file and listening to the mp3's was interesting. I had forgotten far more than I'd thought! But it seemed so simple, if I would only follow it!!
So here I go, following it for a few weeks now. I chatted this morning with Jack and Laly and got my current main question answered (more on that later). This is my second day off in a row; I'm rarely able to wait through that second day, but it's gotten very late now, so I will resume tomorrow. I do still often practice before bed while very tired, and it definitely makes my sessions less effective, so I am vowing that tomorrow's session will be at an earlier time of day. Somehow. Despite the other four people in the house!
Well, thanks for joining me.
Enjoy yourselves!
