Re: Just got my Kasina and I m loving it but....
If one allows it, a mind machine can shake loose lots of random memories and imagery. This for instance is one of the reasons that people experience vivid dreams during the first exposures (and beyond with intention). This 'feature' can help you to connect with the sources of anxiety or the basis of self image assumptions. Again, the intention to explore unconscious concepts helps to bring them to the surface in a more constructive manner.
It is the case that one can use color associations as triggers for memory events. During a session you would free associate using the color imagery as a trigger.
A mind machine session can be an 'active' experience and this is often of benefit. That means that instead of just zoning out and going along for the ride (which is fun too), you can also keep the 'observer' part of your consciousness aware. The observer is just that, a viewer of the imagery, not a 'creator' or a 'judge'. Deemphasize the judge during this period and let the deeper parts of your mind act in the creator role. The observer takes note of experiences for later processing.
The above technique is common to many meditation practices. Where it benefits from using a mind machine is that now you have cascading triggers, both novel frequency information enticing unique brainwave patterns, and visual stimulus which can bring forth interesting correlations.
Thus, explore many sessions, especially those in meditation categories. Alpha is an awake but relaxed state. Accept each one for the journey and information it provides. Some sessions will be more fruitful and personally gratifying than others. Use those until the well runs a bit dry so to speak.
Hope this helps,
