Excursion 2: Setting the Stage
The Conductor, composer and writer behind Mindgasm, offers a glimpse into the subtle art of personal space curation in his blog post
Craft your personal haven for a deeply satisfying session.
This excursion is an invitation to infuse your surroundings with elements that resonate with your individuality, enhancing your journey.
Take this detour before plunging into the community’s depths, and let the ambiance you create be the bedrock of your exploration.
I wish I knew how much your mental desire for sexual pleasure fee into physical enjoyment. Best tip would be that the feeling of the prostate is easy to find but difficult to interpret, so believe what you’re feeling.
Try not to think you've failed or beat yourself up if things don't go the way you want. Take a break and come back to it another time. Don't force something that's not gonna happen. Take your time.
Asking Experienced Mindgasmers
"what is something you wish you knew when you started this journey? What is your number one tip for a newbie?"
Quoting Harrington Emerson: """As to methods there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble.”""
A key to success is belief in yourself and what you feel. Even if at first you think there’s a “fake feeling”, or a “fake quivering”, would it matter, so long as you enjoy it?! Fake away, onward and upward!
I wish I had known just how important mindset truly was on this journey. You can want this all you want, but you have to go into this all with a certain child like wonderment, inquisitive mind and awe. Not trying to force any experience, it just won’t happen that way.
#1 Advice: Remember back to your first time ever masturbating. You had no idea what awaited you, so you let things happen naturally. Approach Mindgasm the same way.
If things start to happen, continue doing exactly what you did. Become an observer. You'll be tempted to control and change something. "if I do more of this it will cause more of that.." but that won't work.
Just give pleasure a space to evolve on its own. It naturally will grow, if you do that and just pay attention to it.
You're responsible for setting the stage - then hand over to the main actor pleasure. Enjoy the play!
Mindgasm is like an adventure. Enjoy all new techniques, all new feelings and all new possibilities ! Be open! And sometimes it‘s like doing a Jigsaw Puzzle: from time to time you find a new piece 🧩 and …. more and more is possible. Enjoy the unexpected! 🏜 Explore! 🧭
Addiction
"You never really know you are addicted until you try to quit."
In the final episode of “your brain on porn” by the incredible Youtube channel “FreeMedEducation“, you get to find out if your old porn habits count as an addiction. If this turns out to be true, don’t be disappointed. You already did the first steps, you became aware, and you are 6 days into recovery. Use the momentum, use the awareness and keep going!
