Yeah, this is my 3-step process: 1) 100% conscious focus: fingering, note analysis, etc.; 2) get hand-locked and deaf for a while while my conscious self struggles with my now-involved subconscious self; 3) take a trip to my "special place" and just enjoy the music while auto-benny does all the work for me.
