Andrew perhaps one option with these sorts of recordings is you do have the option to listen to them wide awake and fully alert to see if there is anything untoward ? I certainly did the first time I heard it as I wasn’t at all sure what to make of it.
Listening to it a second time, I fell asleep early on the recording and woke when expected. If nothing else and it might be there is nothing else, they are by their nature very relaxing for me.
They tend to follow a regular pattern of relaxed spoken words, counting backwards from 300 and often one set of speech in one ear and a second set in the other.
I remember getting from 300 to 290 this morning and woke up some time later. The last minute is spent bringing you out of your relaxed state to make you fully alert.
Separately the Havening technique review below. There is nothing in the second recording about Havening.
