Music and Trance.

The recipes for a party can vary from person to person.  With the recent holidays, indulging in various substrances and foods had been there.  Celebration call for a feast.  All that partying can end up in a massive hangover.  Weight loss too but that is another matter.

Some alcoholic brevages once is a while is okay by me.  I am not an heavy drinker but there is a few alcohols that I like.  Until recently, my main choice was vodka.  I still like it.  I just expanded on that side just before the holidays.  Absinthe and Saké got their way in my repertoire.

To get a high, I don't always goes for a drink.  In a workshop, I was able to experiement on a few techniques of relaxations.  It was similar and different from the class I took in college.  Similar because there was a few techniques that were on both.  Different because there was a few techniques that weren't the same.  One technique I got in the workshop was "Shaking".  I think it was what it was called.  We were standing up and were shaking without moving around.  At first, it was a short time.  The second time, it was a bit longer.  The last time, it was the longest and I think it was around 10 or 15 minutes.  There was music to it.  Each time, there was a different music.

The one music I responded the most was rattle and drum.  It was intense and I kind of had a high.  At the end, I was in a trance like mind.  It was something really taking.  Nothing else existed except the music.  The music was monotone.  It didn't changed beat.  It was only following the heartbeat.  But, as I was in a trance, I was hearing subtilities.  It was as if my mind was hearing a tape with malfunction or different speed to it.  I can't explain it better.  It just happened.

I was really on a high and I wanted to stay there.  I was in a bubble and it took me a few minutes to return to reality.  I wasn't ready for the music to stop.  I was ready to go on a bit further, longer in time.  I was and am tempted to repeat this.  I want to see if I can replicate this sensation.  It was my closest experience to a high that I ever get.  I didn't even got any "help" from alcohol or any other substances.
