I found this trick for triggering a brief trance: I'll get somewhat relaxed, then start thinking of something really complicated, like a program I'm stuck on, and I'll keep stressing my mind to think about it until my heart rate goes up. And then, I let my mind go blank. For some reason, this creates a trance state that lasts for a few seconds, complete with foreign sounds and images going through my mind.
I want to figure out how this works. My normal method of going into a trance involves arousal and relaxation, and it works for longer, but I can only do it once a day at most. I'm not sure why these methods work, but I'm guessing the increased blood flow (oxygen) to the brain is keeping it alert while it shifts into a lower state, giving you control of new areas of the mind that are normally accessible only while asleep.
I've heard about people having increased heart rates before an astral projections, so I'd like to study this further. We might come up with a method that lets people access psychic abilities quickly, and without foreign substances
I've done some more experiments, and this is really profound.
It isn't the heart rate, but the increased oxygen. And I've learned that this works even better while you're walking, because you can get more oxygen. You can have a trance effect while walking.
It works best when I'm walking inside my house. Start off thinking of anything pleasant, and try to think of it in more detail - colors, feelings, smells, etc. As it gets harder to imagine these things consistently, you'll notice your heart rate picking up. Start breathing a bit faster until your mind can handle more imaginary stimuli, and it will start producing images all on its own. Everything will become more clear and real to the point that it's like a trip. Your mind is using the extra oxygen to 'overclock' itself in a sense. Lots of fun can be had in this stage. When you start to feel too detached or tingly, stop breathing and let your mind come down. This should produce a trance effect for a few seconds - a lot of sounds and images will go through your mind that you didn't intentionally produce. This trance is how I've always used telepathy - you might make note of what you see and hear, as something important might slip in.
I first came up with this as a way of solving tough problems or escaping. It turns out our minds are normally in a stupor during the day - unable to think beyond a certain point, producing grey images with little detail. You start having arguments in your head or stressing over stupid things or having a pointless inner dialog. I think the mind can (and should) be pushed to new limits like a muscle using methods like this, if you're to escape the daily stupor.
Karma -7? lol . I ll give you one point back.
My first impression on your post was that you use your brain like your computer and trying that over clocking thing to it.
It reminded me also of the breathing techniques during practice of yoga.
The law of minimum applies here also.The smallest, required component of your system blocks out this system for running at proper speed.
I have a different idea, unrelated to the heart rate- when you use the problem-solving part of the brain you are not using the emotional part of the brain, and this relaxes you.
I used to do this on purpose when I was sad or otherwise emotionally distraught- I would read something scientific and it would calm me down.
IDK about the heart rate though.
this method focuses you on problem solving but why blocking out to learn how to relax on emotional level?
maybe trough color medi so you have access to emotional levels without distractions or asking yourself which emotion is tightening you.When you know the why its usually easier to handle with i think. go trough all color scale and just notice, not judge to hard so you get it.
I would venture to say that if an emotional problem is caused by a situation, then it would be solvable by traditional methods of dealing with them on that level; however, if the emotional pain is caused by physical problems (such as hormone imbalance) then it will be easy to deal with physically- such as the 'brain-side' switching, which is what I do (and works for me).
I know when I was a kid, and I got scared of the dark, I learned to think of stressful things like school and I'd feel better. Having your mind running can give you more confidence
But that's not what this method does. In fact it heightens emotion at the same time. It's like, imagine some of the beings out there with greater minds - they probably imagine things with lots of color, lots of precision, lots of movement - it would seem like a drug trip to some of us. They probably tackle intimidating problems for fun. Our fuzzy imaginations and problem-solving skills would surely bore them if they saw it. That's what I think this method achieves - it's like a sort of enhancement.
Right now I'm fine-tuning the method, using it at only the right moments. For example, early morning is not a good time. The best time is when the mind is going into your every-day delirium - you catch yourself reviewing movies in your head or replaying a conversation. Stupid things. Your mind has given up on important issues. So I re-focus on important things and when I feel the stress, I start breathing faster. It's like tensing a muscle. When you 'come down' from this your mind feels totally free, also like a muscle
How long it will work, if one is for sustainability, one should gain balance. The source can be identified. Sometimes this imbalance is desired, then it is up to you to find out which imbalance is most effective for you.Your switching i know by triggering the brain by light for example.
