Before we discuss how to induce bliss, we need to be clear about what we are talking about. Bliss isn't the same thing as pleasure. Of course, it's pleasurable, but we need to distinguish between positive emotions and pleasurable sensations. Here, bliss refers only to emotional states. The cerebellum is reputed to be a pleasure center, a possibility that Shakti users can investigate for themselves. Although positive experiences will have components of both pleasure and positive emotions, the emotional component has a different basis than the 'sense of pleasure'. Religious ecstasy doesn't rely on pleasurable sensations, and pleasure can be induced by means (such as sex or some painkilling drugs) that do not necessarily involve feeling happiness or even well-being. When we speak of bliss here, we are only referring to emotional states. The procedures described on this page can evoke positive emotional states, running the spectrum from just not-feeling-bad through feeling a sense of well-being, all the way up to real bliss; ecstasy. A lot depends on what you, as an individual, are prone to. The experience of bliss has been induced using the amygdaloid signal. For some. a mild to medium positive state can be induced by applying the amygdaloid signal to the left temporal lobe. However, really extreme bliss is more efficiently elicited through an interhemispheric intrusion. This is the name given for the process that occurs when activity in a structure on one side of the brain becomes so active that it's activity spills over to the same structure on the opposite side of the brain. Not all structures are equally likely to behave in this way. The easiest structures to work with in this way are those that have the largest commisures. A commisure is a bundle of nerve cells that connects a structure that connects it to it's counterpart on the other side of the brain. The largest commisure in the brain is the Anterior Commisure, which connects the amygdala on each side of the brain to it's opposite. Interestingly, this structure is larger in women than in men. One of the procedures described below has only been used with a few women, and was effective in these instances. But, because it relies on the Anterior Commisure, different in men and women, the procedure should be described as 'untested' for males, and 'less-well-tested' for women.
When the negative structure is active, the positive structure on the other side of the brain becomes quiet. This is what happens in the first phase of these sessions. When it's activated in the second phase of these sessions, the result is a sudden burst of activity in the positive structure. That feels good. CAUTIONS: 1) You need to be sure that you do not have a 'reversed' structure. 2) These session designs rely on stimulating the amygdala on both sides, as well as both the frontal lobes and the temporal lobes. Undesirable effects, should they occur, can be un-done. The choice of signals and location depends on which procedure you use. If you've used only the amygdaloid signal, then you can use the hippocampal signal, to un-do unwanted effects. Apply it to the frontal lobes, both sides. If you have used both signals, then you can un-do unwanted effects by applying the Event-Related Potential signal to the cerebellum. Cerebellar activation can attenuate limbic, particularly amygdaloid, activation. The 'un-do' procedures are described here as a safety precaution only. Unwanted effects are low-probability events, provided that test sessions have been done beforehand, and the session is completed. 3) DO NOT STOP HALF-WAY THROUGH THE SESSION.
1) Minimal - Can be done with mono headset. -- Untested With Shakti, tested with Shakti Helmet TWO PHASES 1) Apply the Amygdaloid signal over the RIGHT temporal lobe. Ordinarily, this should elicit negative effects. Apply the signal from between 20 and 30 minutes. 2) Immediately afterward, as part of the same session, apply the same signal to the left temporal lobe. 3) Alternate the order of presentation with each session. For the first session, begin with the frontal lobes for the following session. Always do the right amygdala first, followed by the left (Unless you're 'reversed') Alternate lobes, not sides.
2) More complicated -- Requires Stereo headset -- (Less-well tested for women, untested for men) TWO PHASES, 20 to 30 minutes each
Alternate the order of presentation with each session. For the first session, begin with the frontal lobes for the following session. Always do the right amygdala first, followed by the left (Unless you're 'reversed') Alternate lobes, not sides.
