Episode notes
Subspace Mind-Body Experience
- Subspace feels like a combination of being mentally light and physically heavy, like a quasi out-of-body experience.
- Thoughts focus intensely on physical sensations, making speaking and extraneous movements difficult or impossible.
Mental Flow and Presence in Subspace
- Subspace involves a mental shift into present-moment mindfulness and an almost trance-like flow state.
- It is similar to flow in yoga or other activities but includes a distinct physiological body response.
Dual Components of Subspace
- Subspace requires both a relaxed, mindful mental state and physiological changes triggered by intense body engagement.
- Hard impact play or rough sex accelerates subspace through body chemistry changes like endocannabinoids and adrenaline.
