I’ve had my Helix Syn for about 2 months now, and whilst I’ve not hat anything mindblowing yet, my early sessions seemed quite promising. Definitely experienced P-waves, and a few times caused some trembling sensations in my extremities (mostly arms/hands).
But it seemed to regress after the first couple weeks. I think a lot of it is mental – I feel like if nothing significant (I.e. Light P-wave) happens in the first 20-30 mins, I get frustrated and *that* seems to be the nail in the coffin. And no amount of relaxation beforehand seems to get around this. I’m a little annoyed in all honesty that I am not moving forwards at all, but the feeing of stepping backwards is such a mood killer.
Have people experienced this kind of stall, and what did you do to navigate it. I know that it will take time and there’s no magic solution, but tips for managing expectations would be really appreciated. It’s clear I’m getting in my own way, but I don’t know how to effectively combat that.
Also, when learning the technique, I’m a little lost on how active I should be. On the one hand I’ve been told to relax completely, let the toy drive. On the other, people say tensing the prostate is key. One thing that has gone right is that I feel a lot more able to work my prostrate when I have nothing inserted – kegals were never something I really got in to before, but I really have gotten good at them I think – but not so much with the Helix inserted. It’s like I can isolate the prostate without it in, but when it’s inserted it’s much much harder to isolate the prostate. I end up clenching my butt/sphincter too, which seems to kill any growing P-waves. What are you doing? Read more »
