I recently got my first prostate massager. I chose the helix classic. I think I have done 6 or 7 sessions before the one I did today. I didn't really notice much of a difference. The first couple of times I wasn't sure if it was actually touching the prostate or not. I could not really feel it that much after I inserted it. I am guessing that it takes a while for your body to become accustomed to it. I have gotten better at figuring out which positions work best for me and how I should move.
I relaxed and inserted it and I laid down on my back with a pillow under my bottom. I watched erotic videos the whole time. I'm still trying to figure out if this is helpful or not. I tried different ways of contracting and relaxing: varying the speed and intensity. Then I tried contracting as hard as I could, drawing it in as far as possible and holding it for a long time. Then I put my feet flat on the bed, and using it as leverage, I rolled my hips forward as I contracted. I have discovered that nipple stimulation helps, so I did that as well.
I got to a point when I felt something that until today I had not felt. It is strange, but when I try to recall what it felt like I have trouble remembering it in detail. I contracted hard and I held it. I felt fullness in my lower abdomen, and I felt a sensation in my whole body. My whole body felt fuzzy. My heart was going faster. There was a ringing in my ears. My vision got a little blurry. I had this feeling that something was going to happen. I felt like I was going to lose control, that I was about to go somewhere that I had never gone. I could not hold the contraction anymore and I relaxed. I tried a few times to get back to that feeling, but for some reason I couldn't. I think maybe the excitement overwhelmed me or maybe there was some fear that got the better of me. It is probably better that I ease into this anyway.
Until today I was starting to get discouraged. I believe I got a small glimpse of what is to come, and it's given me the motivation to continue.
Sounds like you may have stimulated the vagus nerve with it - good thing you were laying down or sitting down as that can lead to a drop in blood pressure, dizzy etc. Don't be scared but do be careful as its possible you might faint. In other words, plan your session in a safe environment where even if you do faint, you won't get hurt.
When I was a teenager, I often indulged in hands-free masturbation which is awesome but time consuming. A couple times I fainted and rolled off the bed onto a carpeted floor with some cushions on it [be prepared!]. I wasn't hurt and it made me realize how understanding my mom was.
In my early years of aneros use I would lay down on the bed during a session. No time for that any more - but I find sitting on a well padded chair works well - keeps it in, keeps it deep, I can wiggle if I need to and do things at the same time - like type this response 🙂 I also find that mental-erotic stimulation works well for me - reading a hot story in literotica as opposed to watching porn.
I was wondering if what I experienced was normal. I am very new to this, and I don't really feel like I know what I'm doing. I think porn might be distracting me. I will try using the helix without it. I will take a break for a day or two and try again.

Yes, what you experienced are sensations consistent with a prostate awakening.

There is a consensus of opinion that being highly aroused is a necessary component for having successful Anerosessions (see Are you "aroused"?). However, the method for achieving high arousal levels varies from individual to individual. In regard to viewing pornography during one's sessions, opinions about its usefulness is pretty divided (see Are you aroused by Porn?). Personally, I find porn a distraction during my sessions so I don't use it, I prefer to kindle the flames of arousal through reading erotica prior to a planned Anerosession. Each man needs to find out which path works best for himself.

I think this is a good idea to space out your sessions so you don't overwork your prostate and this also gives your mind time to assimilate the lessons your body is teaching you.
On the verge of something?
YES, Absolutely, you've begun a potentially life changing path, enjoy the wonders you are about to experience.
Good Vibes to You ! 
Thanks @rumel I looked in my inbox and I found your message. It will take me a while to go through it. I am glad that I am on the right path. I am also glad that I have gotten such good results early on. It seems like with each session I learn a little more.
I had another session a few days ago. Again I felt like I was close to something. It slipped away, but I was able to hold on to it longer than the previous time. I felt like I was more aware of my prostate than before. The sessions before this last one I couldn't really feel it at all. I tried vibrating my diaphragm as I breathed, and I think that might have helped. There are surprises with every session. I try to enjoy that in and of itself.
