I had been listening to the beginning again when it starts to tell you to relax. But this time after concentrating on my breathing, in about 10 seconds, I blank out again. Then, I start to hear the words again in the SECOND playing of the file (I have my mp3 player set to loop, though I usually just listen to the file once), just blanking out during the rest of the induction, deepener, suggestion, awakening. I actually think I heard some of the suggestion from the first time though.
