Re: Side effects of using Kasina?
It would not be uncommon when you first use the Kasina to try several sessions in a day. It is human nature that enthusiasm for new purchases causes one to overindulge at the beginning. Depending on the sessions you choose and their content they can be stimulating.
Your sleep schedule can shift if you use the Kasina during the night. This is temporary in the vast majority of cases. Many of us longer term users can use an AVS device any time of the day, and generally prefer to meditate at night and in the early morning. On most days I meditate twice a day but always at least once for 20 minutes. Not always with an AVS device but longterm on average 4 days a week with one.
In designing sessions, I have used the lights for many hours at a time. I do feel that my eyes are fatigued after this, especially with the DeepVision glasses. Of course this is on the far extreme.
You will have to gauge your light sensitivity when you first try out sessions. There is a wide range of tolerance among individuals. We have never had a report after a suitable adjustment period that the Kasina is not bright enough. We do often get reports from new users that they need to turn the brightness down at first. You will need to experiment to find the settings that are right for you.
I encourage you to try some of the SpectraStrobe sessions first to get a feel for the 'nature' of the Kasina experience. Then some AudioStrobe adjusting the colors to experience the effect of each setting. Then some KBS sessions from the Sirius folder. It is a sampling experience at first until you get a feel for what you like. A 'get acquainted' period which encompasses at least a few weeks. Then we can talk about developing a plan, if you have a certain intent in mind.
The real deal, is that few people have to worry about using the Kasina too much, but in fact too little. Slow and steady is the best pace for true lasting change. It is again human nature, that most people don't persist enough to really 'break on through to other side'. The 99% vs the 1% is a real phenomena in many human endeavors besides just areas of finance.
Hope this helps,
