How to actually experince the Void State?
Hey yall. i wasnt in a place where i could prep posts, i was away abroad, didn't take my pc with me, and I was way too exasperated and all, but after a few days here we are. Yea, how to actually experience the void state? imma try to clarify with my own opinions and knowledge. You're free to disagree/ add more info.
Now, when you start looking for "a single formula that guarantees results and works flawlessly!!!" ,youre actually falling into the mental trap (y'all, mental trap is real. That's why you "can't" enter the void and get desperate. 😃😃) that makes the process way more difficult. striving, and constantly checking, "ughhh did it work?" THE void state, as the name suggests, is a state of emptiness. This emptiness is not ''entered'' (or experienced, wahtever u want to call it), by "doing" (means effort) something, but by ceasing to do, control, and think about everything (to use the philosophy of the loa, by knowing that desire has already been fulfilled and ceasing to search for it).
(Yea i remember suggesting this, but it wasnt for void state it was for staying awake so dont even mention that.) Listening to podcasts or counting your breaths are great anchors for keeping your mind focused on the room while experiencing sleep paralysis or WILD. But when the goal is ''achieved'', when the body is completely locked up u need to cut (cut the focus to) that anchor. Youll ask me ''but helene, how???'' The moment you feel your body becoming heavy and numb, it's better off if you try to stop focusing on the background noise, the shapes in the darkness, or the feeling of the bed. If ur mind still analyzing, thinking, "ah, whats on that podcast?" or "jeez think im paralyzed right now," you remain anchored to 3D reality. (aka physical reality.) you gotta completely release yourself when that moment comes, as if u were letting yourself fall from the top of a building or sinking to the bottom of the ocean. Stop analyzing, just fall. alrigh?
In the void, there is no a name, no physical form, no age, no room, no past, and no future. Only the fact that "you exist" remains. During that transitional phase when the body falls asleep (aka the hypnagogic phase), let only the feeling of "i am" pass through ur mind. Try to forget that youre a human being, that youre lying in bed, assume that you are merely a point of awareness floating in emptiness. Repeat these affirmations continuously and monotonously to yourself, without thinking about them, like a lullaby, or a mantra, "there is nothing here, i am nothing, only my consciousness." The biggest, BIGGEST fucking ''obstacle'' to entering the void is the mind constantly checking from behind like "oof did i get in? Ahha, i think i did! Lemme see if the darkness has deepened????" The moment you check, your ego and analytical brain take over this is the exact opposite of the void. You should have no expectations at the moment of entry. Instead of "trying to enter" the void, you should assume that it is already there. When you mentally reach it, a wave of silence suddenly erupts, and everything darkens. At that moment, you don't need to ask "did it happen?", you already know. 😵💫
Aaaand, how to not fall asleep. Big question. Normally, to fall asleep, to ''focus'', you leave your mind blank. For void, however,, you need to put your body to sleep while keeping your mind on the edge. I'll try to list some of the ''techniques'', u can choose one of them kike in my previous posts. Mental looping (ACTUALLY reminded me of one of these ancient teachings but i dont recall the name). If u just count 1, 2, 3, 4... your brain will find it monotonous and fall asleep. try to insert words in it like (i think ive already suggested this for an adhd person to prevent boredom and dozing off) "1, im in void…2, im in void…3, im in void…" or repeat your intention with each count. This keeps ur brain wakeful n alert. Orrr, imagine a hella simple, geometric shape in the darkness in front of you (for ex, a glowing blue sphere). Watch that sphere rotate, grow, and shrink. Focusing ur mind on this single point blocks the signals lead to dreaming (like drifting off). and lastly, you drift off to sleep, bizarre images start flashing before your eyes (hypnagogique state) and the sound of the podcast in the background changes. That's the moment of drifting off. Well, try not to get caught up in those images, observe from the outside like a movie. Say to yourself, "yea, my brain has just started producing dreams, im watching it."
Make ur room dim. If ur comitting this during morning, do it pretty dark. (cause, ofc, don't let morning light trigger cortisol release). Lie flat on your back (supine position again our helper). Turn on that monotonous podcast in the background and keep the volume at the limit. Close ur eyes and start practicing the sleep defying tactic you chose above. After a while, your body will sense sleepiness and test you like, (just like the sleep paralysis sympyoms) your nose will itch, you'll want to swallow, your leg will twitch. Try not to move, (I'm not gonna say NEVERRR, normally while active shifting, you can. dont stress yourself. but you gotta stay non distracted.) don't even open your eyes. Watch those urges like a cloud and let them pass!!! Once ur body passes ''the tests'', it gives up. You will feel your body incredibly heavy, numb, or as if you are sinking into the bed. You may experience a ringing, buzzing, or a wave of vibrations in ur ears. Congratsss, your body has fallen asleep and the paralysis mechanism has kicked in. THE breaking point. The moment youre sure your bodys locked, completely abandon your tactic of not falling asleep and listening to the podcast in the background. You no longer have any connection with that sound, that body, or that room.
Completely let yourself fall freely backward, (mentally, lmao) into that endless dark void in front of ur eyes. Completely stop analyzing, stop thinking, "yo did it happen?" Just savor the feeling of falling. Followin the feeling of falling, everything will suddenly cut off like a knife. The sound of the podcast (or anyhting else, whatever u were listening to) will fade away to the point of being inaudible or disappear completely. Youll feel an immense silence, weightlessness, and profound peace. You have no body, youre not lying in a bed, youre just pure consciousness. You are the Void. Once you reach the void, there is no doubt left. Since all resistance from the physical world is neutralized, apply LOA in its purest form, merely assume that ur desire has already been fulfilled, or that youre in the reality you wish to shift to, and remain in that feeling. Hope y'all succeed. Ciao. 🩷
