5 Types of Meditation to Deepen Your Mindgasm Practice
Meditation is not one thing – it’s a journey with many paths. Here’s how to expand your practice beyond the Source.
Introduction: Beyond the Session
You’ve discovered something powerful with Mindgasm: the ability to create pleasure through focus, breath, and awareness. But what if I told you that the state you reach during your best sessions – that flow, that presence, that mind-body connection – isn’t exclusive to Mindgasm?
Mindgasm IS meditation. And like any meditation practice, it can be deepened, refined, and expanded through complementary techniques.
Between your Mindgasm sessions, other forms of meditation can help you:
- Sharpen your focus
- Deepen your body awareness
- Expand your capacity for presence
- Learn to access meditative states anywhere, anytime
Let’s explore five types of meditation that will enhance your Mindgasm journey.
1. WALKING / NATURE – Meditation in Motion
What it is
Instead of sitting still, you meditate while moving – bringing awareness to each step, each breath, the environment around you.
How it helps Mindgasm:
You learn that the meditative state isn’t fragile. You can access it anywhere. Plus, stored tension in your body releases through gentle movement.
Walking Mediation
Walking meditation uses movement as the path to presence. Practice ultra-slow barefoot steps indoors, noticing every sensation, or walk outdoors until rhythm takes over and your body leads. Both approaches teach the same skills as Mindgasm: body awareness, sustained attention, letting go of control. Movement becomes meditation.

Forest Bathing
Slow, mindful walking in nature. Let the forest “breathe” you. Notice the light, the sounds, the smells. This practice activates your parasympathetic nervous system – the same state optimal for Mindgasm.

Camino de Santiago
The famous pilgrimage trail across Spain. Weeks of walking, simplicity, and raw nature. It’s an experience that maps perfectly onto the Mindgasm journey – both take you to places words can’t reach. You have to live it to understand it.
Many walkers describe entering flow states where mind and body merge, where the rhythm of steps becomes meditation, where something shifts inside that you didn’t know needed shifting. The same transformation happens in Mindgasm – just through a different path.
We’ve captured this parallel in an immersive audio experience:
Ultreia – A Camino Journey.
It’s not a hiking guide. It’s a meditation on walking, presence, and the internal pilgrimage we all make when we stop running from ourselves. Let it remind you that Mindgasm isn’t just a technique – it’s a journey inward, one step (or one breath) at a time.
2. LOVE MEDITATION – The Heart as Gateway
What it is
Meditation focused on opening the heart, generating compassion, gratitude, and connection – to yourself, others, the world.
How it helps Mindgasm
When you approach your practice with self-love rather than achievement-seeking, everything shifts. Lesson 6 works because you allow pleasure, not because you force it.
Pairplay
If you have a partner, practice Mindgasm together. Not performing for each other, but being present with each other. This vulnerability is a form of meditation.

Make Love to Yourself
Before your next session, spend 5 minutes simply appreciating your body. Not what it can do, but what it is. Touch yourself gently, non-sexually. This is self-love meditation.
Pet an Animal
Spend 10 minutes with a cat or dog. Not distracted petting while scrolling your phone – conscious, full-attention contact. Notice the texture of fur under your palm. The warmth. The rhythm of your stroking movement. Watch how your thoughts quiet, how your mind settles into just this. Hand, fur, breath, presence.
The animal doesn’t think about the past or future. It responds from pure presence, right here, right now. This is the state you’re learning to access in Mindgasm. When a cat purrs under your touch, that vibration is a form of meditation – for both of you.
Always available for you in the Mindgasm App:
Ambiences – Studiocat Purrs
An ambient journey that lets the sound of purring guide you into deep relaxation. It’s designed to help you drop into that same state of presence you feel when connecting with an animal – warm, safe, fully here.
Festivals
Music festivals, ecstatic dance, tantric gatherings. These spaces teach you that pleasure, presence, and connection can be communal experiences. When you’re moving in a crowd of dancing bodies, boundaries dissolve. You’re not performing, not thinking – you’re just being in the collective energy.
It’s the same principle as Mindgasm with music: kinetic energy meets pleasure-focused meditation. The music doesn’t create the experience – it amplifies what’s already there. Your body knows how to move, how to feel, how to open. The rhythm is your guide, your inspiration.
This is collective love in action – strangers sharing presence and joy without words. And that openness you practice in the crowd? You bring it back to your solo sessions.
3. CREATIVITY / FLOW MEDITATION
What it is
Meditation through creative expression. When you’re fully absorbed in painting, music, or craft, thinking stops. You enter flow.
How it helps Mindgasm
Flow states and Mindgasm states are nearly identical neurologically. Training flow in other contexts makes accessing it during sessions easier.
Mandala Painting
Draw or color mandalas. This isn’t about mysticism – it’s about pattern and focus. Simple shapes forming complex patterns: circles, lines, symmetry repeating outward. The repetitive work quiets the mind. Discover how paying attention to small details forms a bigger picture, both on paper and in your awareness. Notice how after just a few minutes, you’re gone, fully present. That’s the state you’re cultivating in the Mind Expansion practice in Lessons 6-9.
Art / Painting / Woodworking / Knitting
Any craft that requires focus and hand-work. Working with wood, clay, paint, wool – your hands know what to do, and your mind gets out of the way. This “body knowing” is what happens in advanced Mindgasm.
Mantra Singing/Speaking
Chant “Om” for 10 minutes. Or any sound. The vibration in your body, the rhythm, the breath – this IS the Eternal Flame in audible form.
Garden Work – Focus on Living Plants
Tend to plants. Observe their growth patterns. Nature operates on the same principles as pleasure waves – organic, unpredictable, alive.
4. MINDFULNESS – The Art of Pure Awareness
What it is
Mindfulness meditation teaches you to observe without judgment – your thoughts, sensations, emotions – without trying to change them.
How it helps Mindgasm
This is the foundation of everything. When you can observe the subtle sensations in your body without grasping for them, your Mindgasm practice transforms.
Vipassana Meditation
Vipassana is an ancient body scan technique where you observe sensations without judgment. It combines beautifully with Mindgasm.
Try the Afterglow Meditation.
This simple example shows how any meditation technique can enhance your Mindgasm practice. Different styles, same tool: focused awareness.
Eating Meditation
Take a single raisin or any other food. Spend 5 minutes exploring it with all senses before eating it slowly. This teaches the kind of sensory attention you bring to your Source.
Stillness Practice / ZEN
Sit. Do nothing. Just be. For 10 minutes. No technique, no goal. This is where you discover that pleasure doesn’t require effort – sometimes it just is.
5. MINDGASM – Yes, It's Meditation
What it is
You already know this one. Using breath, muscle awareness, and mental focus to generate pleasure waves from within.
Why it's on this list:
Mindgasm isn’t separate from the other meditation types – it contains all of them. It uses pleasure as the anchor for your attention – and that’s what makes it special. Your mind naturally wants to stay with something that feels good. You’re not forcing focus through discipline, you’re following reward. This transforms meditation from something you should do into something you want to do, while training the exact same skills every meditation tradition has taught for millennia: presence, awareness, and the art of letting go.
Understanding Mindgasm as Meditation:
5 Commonalities
What connects us: Mindgasm shares fundamental principles with traditional meditation – both emphasize present moment awareness, teach surrender over force, strengthen mind-body connection, guide personal growth journeys, and reward consistent practice with long-term benefits.
5 Connection Points
Different paths, same destination: While traditional meditation seeks stillness through mental quiet and Mindgasm reaches it through pleasure waves, both lead to deep peace and presence. Both recognize energy as transformative, value breathing’s power, offer measurable progress, and benefit from community support.
5 Differences
What makes Mindgasm unique: Unlike traditional meditation’s passive calm, Mindgasm actively engages your body in pleasurable sensations. It provides specific physical guidance, uses pleasure as natural motivation, offers tangible feedback, and integrates sexual energy as a tool for awareness rather than treating it as distraction.
5 Mindgasm Meditations for When You're On The Go
Practice anywhere: Meditation doesn’t require a full session. Try these quick practices throughout your day: Focus on your Source for subtle sensations. Do three gentle flexes and notice the echoes. Find complete stillness and let awareness drift to pleasant tingles. Take a conscious break and let sensation find you. Choose one point in your Source and give it 30 seconds of complete attention. These micro-practices train the same presence you cultivate in full sessions.
The Core Truth: It's All the Same State
Here’s what ties all five types together:
Meditation is the state where you:
- Stop trying to control experience
- Become fully present in this moment
- Observe sensations without grasping or avoiding
- Let go of the “doing” and enter “being”
Whether you’re sitting in Zazen, walking through a forest, painting a mandala, or riding a pleasure wave – **you’re accessing the same fundamental state of consciousness.**
The techniques differ. The state is one.
How to Use This in Your Mind Expansion Journey
During the Break or Repeat phases of Mind Expansion, choose one meditation type to explore:
- Feeling mentally scattered? → Try Mindfulness (Vipassana or Stillness)
- Feeling physically tense? → Try Walking/Nature (Forest bathing or Macro photography)
- Feeling disconnected from yourself? → Try Love practices (Self-love or Pairplay)
- Feeling stuck or blocked? → Try Creativity (Mandala or Mantra)
- Feeling ready to integrate? → Return to Mindgasm with fresh eyes
The goal isn’t to master all five. The goal is to recognize that meditation – and therefore the skills you’re building in Mindgasm – extends far beyond your practice sessions.
You’re not just learning to have better orgasms.
You’re learning to be fully alive.
