sensations should be noticeable but not overly distracting.
Tune the Ene rgy Vi be at the highest level that is comfortable;
the skin sensations should be VERY noticeable.
As the V ibe pro gress es and yo u get accu stomed to the sensat ions,
you will likely need to increase the Tuner so t hat it remains proper ly
calibra ted. Enjoy the SHIFT i n your st ate of min d to Calm or Energy !
