Episode notes
INSIGHT

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.
INSIGHT

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.
INSIGHT

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.
