hearing Attention to Attention

For the first several minutes, while practicing allowing sound to be as it is, I experienced a progressive dropping in and relaxing. This went through several layers, in just a couple of minutes, and continued as I transitioned into attention to attention.
At a certain point, while practicing attention to attention, I dropped in in a different way. It's like I dropped into a different space in consciousness, that's the best way I can describe it in the moment.

This was almost psychedelic.
I experienced the relaxation, the slowing of the breathing, the sense of expansion. I kept returning my awareness to the listening.
And the experience was almost psychedelic. I don't know how else to describe it.

I once again went into this very relaxed place, only this time it was very subtly different. At the beginning, during Allowing Sound to Be As It Is, I noticed again sounds I hadn't before. When I began attention to attention, I was really glad the author said "Simply to notice that your listening is enough" because that was the most accessible way I could find into this practice. It was very subtle, almost like I was zooming out and getting a larger perspective on consciousness, and on myself.

Wow. That was such a profound experience.
I started out with Allowing Sound To Be As It Is, as the instructions said. I very quickly found myself noticing a broader variety of sounds, a subtler quality to them I guess is the right word. It was like my awareness expanded.
Then when I switched to Attention to Attention, it was like my consciousness took a right turn, once again it was very subtle, but it had a different flavor, and it was like a different dimension of reality.
