First Successful Dose with Ganzfeld Mask [Hand of God]
Posted: Tue Jun 26, 2012 11:11 pm
So, I was at my friend's place today, and we we're just hanging out, swimming in her pool, so on so forth. Starts to get a bit later, and we're in her basement, passing a 'cigarette' back and forth, and it reminds me that I've been playing with the free version and free doses. So, for conversations sake, I mention I-doser, asking if she's ever heard of it. Well, apparently she's not only heard of it, she has it. So I tell her how I've been trying out the free doses, and haven't had any luck yet. I explain that every time I try to do a dose I just start to drift off.
Well, she had the solution. Apparently, she had the same problem when she started, and had done some digging around. She had found out about something called the Ganzfeld effect (I've been reading about it since I got back, and I'll have to try that soon too =P). She had the brilliant idea to try and use one of these masks (Basically a pair of goggles, or a sleep mask that creates an undifferentiated visual field). Using the mask, she was able to cut off all visual stimuli without closing her eyes, thus not dozing off during the dose.
She decides to demonstrate, so I lay down on the couch, put on her headphones and mask, and she puts a dose on. I had no idea what she was putting on, but she assured me it wasn't Gate of Hades, so I just rolled with it. Now let me set the scene:
I have nothing but my swim shorts on still, it's dark out, and it's getting a bit chilly, especially in her basement. As the dose starts, I don't feel anything for the first few minutes. Then my hands and feet start to pulse in sync with the dose. My right hand and foot would pulse when the sound came from the right ear, and vice-versa. Slowly, both sides start to pulse, and I start to feel my hands and feet getting warmer. As the dose goes on, the pulsing works it's way up my arms and legs, and I feel like there's this bright energy emanating from my heart. My hands and feet are no longer cold, and the pulsing is now all throughout my body. The couch starts to feel like it's shaky so slightly that I almost can't feel it, but it's there. The energy in my core is spreading through my chest, and down my arms and legs, and I'm not cold at all anymore (In fact, my arms and legs are starting to feel hot). The energy keeps building, and it's all over my body now. It feels like every cell in my body is a live-wire and the couch feels like it's shaking a bit more than before. I'm so hot I feel like I should be sweating, but I'm not. I start to feel light and heavy at the same time, and then, probably about a minute or two before the dose ended, my entire body feels like it's been packed too tightly and my soul might burst out and fly away of it's own accord at any moment. Finally, the dose ends, and for a minute or so, the feeling lingers, and then it's gone, and I'm instantly cold again.
So, yeah... I'm a believer now. I-doser is the real fucking deal. Hand of God was amazing, and now all I have to do is make myself a Ganzfeld mask to keep the doses from putting me to sleep before they can take effect. I found a print-off mask online, so I'm gonna whip it together quick and try alcohol on my pc.
