A couple mornings ago, I woke up early (5:30-ish) for work. Actually I take that back, I didn't fully wake up, and so what I decided to do, without even thinking, I had my MGMT CD, in the CD player nearby, and headphones, and I just hit play; before I was even upright, and just laid back and listened. And I remember hearing the music, and it sounded like it would if I had a mild high. My theory is that, because it's very early, and since your noggin isn't at full capacity just yet, everything is still very lucid, so you can focus on one thing, as if you were high.
So if you're curious as to how it may feel like to be high, without actually doing so, I recommend that exercise, of immediately listening to music upon waking, and just laying there, relaxed.
A couple pointers, I recommend listening to music that you know all the words to (if there are lyrics at all), and it may also help if you wake at an hour where it's still dark outside. I also recommend not making too much movement. DO NOT STAND UP OUT OF BED. If you must, have your music ready by the bedside the night prior. It's very important that you trick your body, and brain to remain as dormant as possible.
I am actually very curious, as to anyone to who is going to try this, how their experience goes. So please by all means leave comments. I do read them.
Much love,
talk to you later.
Hmmm... very interesting experiment!! Thank you for sharing!! I have found that just before falling asleep and right upon fully waking up are very powerful times to experience A LOT of things! I've had some very profound insights come to me during these times. Never experimented with music during this time though. Have you ever practiced or gotten into lucid dreaming? That's some amazing fun! As for getting high, I don't know if this will be able to compare.. because one of my favorite things about smoking is to then go out into nature, plant my bare feet into the earth, feel the sun shining on my skin, breath in the fresh ocean air. So staying in bed will be disappointing to my stoned spirit. But for meditative purposes I will try it!
ReplyDeleteoh yes, i have experienced lucid dreaming. although none that i could really control in any practical way. iv'e experienced them right when i was in limbo, about to wake up, but still asleep, mostly. actually when i had a really bad sleeping schedule in december, and january, i had a hard time telling the difference between reality, and my lucid visions.
ReplyDeleteyes, the music in the morning is a much much milder effect. if and when i get high, i tend to dance and babel. and my friends tend to think i'm crazy, but really i'm just fully open to spirit, and let it take full control over my skin blanket and bones. it's quite exhilarating. i'll have to try what you do, i do live near the beach right now, so it'd be quite the waste of a beach if i didn't :)
