Is There Any Point in “Trying”?
It is very easy to determine whether this method is suitable for you. You simply try it — consider it a “demo version.”
After approximately 2–3 weeks of practice, you should already be able to identify the first changes and results from working with TS — or their absence.
In other words, even such a short period is enough to get a preliminary sense of it. This does not mean that your life will be completely transformed in two weeks. However, starting around this time, you should be able to notice small but clear and observable changes resulting from the practice. For example, a few days after working through a traumatic episode, you may find that your perception of that episode has changed. A person you used to strongly dislike no longer triggers the same reaction; a pressing current problem has not disappeared, but has clearly lost some of its intensity; long-standing recurring issues that you have been looping over for years begin to feel different — and so on.
At the same time, it is important that you do not invent results, do not try to convince yourself, and certainly do not attempt to “believe” or “not believe” in TS (that is a separate matter altogether), but instead remain as impartial an observer as possible.
Tools that actually work do not require belief in their effectiveness. You now have an unusual tool in your hands. Does it work? Test it. Practice, experiment — but do not surrender to it immediately. Stay grounded and steady. Openness combined with stability is the optimal position. You simply start from where you are, follow the instructions, and after a couple of weeks observe what happens.
If after 4 weeks of practice you see no changes or results at all, you can pause the practice and return to reassessing your state after another 2–4 weeks. If you still notice nothing — then most likely TS is not suitable for you.
