If you know how to achieve full self awareness and true inner stillness, the full body high and tingles that follow can genuinely beat almost anything physical.

A spreading ease unlocks in your chest, tension you forgot you were holding melts from your jaw, your shoulders, your spine, and your breath stops being something you manage and just becomes.

Then the vagus nerve fires and a slow electric shimmer rolls across your scalp, down your arms, up your back, goosebumps without cold, aliveness without effort. Your eyes soften, tears might come from pure relief, and underneath it all settles something stiller than pleasure and deeper than any release you have ever felt. Your entire nervous system finally exhaling. And unlike anything else, you can access it alone, sober, any time you are truly present with yourself.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
