Get High Now (without drugs)
Get High Now (without drugs) | James Nestor
13 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
Get High Now is an illustrated, mind-blowing magic carpet ride of more than 175 ways to alter human perception and consciousnesswithout drugs or alcohol. Culled from science, physiology, spiritual practices, and the audio visual arts, these "all natural" highs playfully and safely explore the mind-body connection to entertaining and illuminating effect. Accessible and well-researched, each entry introduces concepts such as lucid dreaming, optical and auditory illusions, controlled breathing, meditation, time compression, and physical and mental exercises, explaining the ways in which they affect our minds and bodies and how to do them. Readers follow the author and his "HighLab" testing team through mind-bending and sometimes hilarious investigations, such as how to lull the mind into hallucinatory states with audio loops; why multiple bee stings lead to euphoric states; what cheeses to eat to induce psychedelic lucid dreams; how to control your breathing to create an out-of-body experience; and many more. Including solo, tandem, and group highs, Get High Now features hundreds of ways to calm or stimulate the senses and open new windows to experiencing the world.

Half of these exercises have NOTHING to do with getting high (Parkour? Sitting near a waterfall?). Other exercises stretch the limits of what getting "high" even means (yes, you'll see colors if you rub your eyes, but is that really the same thing?).

However, some of the other exercises probably work. I haven't tried them yet. Either way, this book is unique, funny, and gives you something fun to do in your spare time. I recommend it.

Hypnogogia is the "no man's land" between wakefulness and sleep. By the way, I'm reading this at the laundromat and getting some strange looks. I can't wait to read it on the train!

8little_paws Ok, this is entertaining! 6y
Suet624 I might have to try this. 6y
