Episode notes
Ecstasis Unifies Altered States
- Non-ordinary states move us beyond ordinary waking consciousness and include meditation, flow, and psychedelic experiences.
- Jamie Wheal calls this ecstasis, a shared destination across diverse practices with similar neurophysiological signatures.
A Shared Neurobiology Of Peak States
- A common neurobiological signature links flow, meditation, and psychedelic states across practices.
- Wheal describes this shared 'genome of flow' as a Rosetta Stone to translate different routes to similar experiences.
Match The Method To Your Needs
- Choose the doorway to altered states based on risk tolerance, time, and goals rather than ideology.
- If you have time and want low risk, practice respiration and contemplation; be patient for results.
