The Art of Floating: Unlocking Bliss Through Psychological States

 Introduction


Can the human mind alter its perception of the body so deeply that it creates sensations of floating, bliss, and other extraordinary feelings? Many spiritual traditions and psychological theories suggest that our beliefs and mental frameworks can profoundly shape our experiences. This experiment explores how entering a deep psychological state—without external stimuli—can result in a sense of weightlessness, euphoria, and an altered perception of reality.

The Psychological Foundation


The mind and body are deeply interconnected. When we assume a state that expects relaxation, joy, or even transcendence, the body often follows. This concept aligns with the placebo effect, where belief alone can create real physical changes. Similarly, deep meditative states, hypnosis, and focused visualization can cause the body to simulate experiences that feel as real as external stimuli.


By conditioning the mind to expect a certain state—whether it’s floating, bliss, or deep relaxation—it begins to interpret sensory input differently, reinforcing the intended feeling.

The Experiment: Entering the Frame of Bliss


The experiment was conducted with a simple yet profound approach:


1. Creating the Frame – Instead of trying to reach bliss or floating as a goal, I simply assumed that my body was already in that state.



2. Deep Focus on Awareness – I directed my attention inward, noticing subtle bodily sensations while keeping a neutral or expectant state of mind.



3. Allowing the Mind to Take Over – Instead of forcing anything, I simply let the process unfold naturally, trusting the mind to align with the assumption.



4. Observing the Changes – At a certain point, the body started to feel lighter, and an unusual sense of joy and freedom emerged.

Key Observations


The experience felt spontaneous and effortless once I stopped “trying” and simply assumed the state.


A distinct detachment from physical weight emerged, almost as if the body had dissolved.


A deep sense of euphoria and peace accompanied the experience, reinforcing the idea that the mind can alter how the body perceives itself.

Insights & Theoretical Connections


1. The Power of Assumption


Neville Goddard and other philosophers speak about living in the assumption of the desired state. This experiment aligns with that—when the mind fully accepts a state as reality, it begins to manifest physically.


2. The Role of the Nervous System


The brain filters sensory input based on expectations. When expecting lightness and bliss, it may reduce awareness of body weight, leading to floating sensations.


The parasympathetic nervous system, activated through relaxation and focused awareness, releases endorphins, enhancing euphoria.



3. Reality as a Mental Projection


If reality is interpreted through the mind, then modifying mental states can directly alter perception. This suggests that everyday experiences are not absolute but flexible based on internal conditioning.

Final Thoughts


This experiment shows that belief and focus alone can create deep, transformative experiences. By simply stepping into the assumption of a state, the mind and body align with it naturally.

The Multi-Character Experiment – Breaking the Illusion of Identity

 Introduction The Journey Beyond a Single Self Since around 2018, I have been conducting an experiment that challenges the fundamental way people perceive identity. While most people believe in having one fixed personality, one self, and one perspective, I have deliberately broken this limitation by creating and living as multiple distinct characters. Each of these characters has its own: Name Personality and thinking patterns Skills and abilities Moral compass (good, bad, or neutral) Unique way of interacting with the world I do not just imagine these characters—I become them, shifting my thoughts, decisions, and emotions according to their nature. They are not fiction; they are real within my mind. This experiment has not only transformed my consciousness but has also made me experience deep levels of control over my mind, emotions, and perspective on life. While others struggle to change even small aspects of their personality, I have learned to reshape my entire existence at wi...

The Promise Loop: A Love-Based Experiment Against Addiction

Casualties In today’s world, one of the major casualties of modern living is addiction . It creeps silently, whether through substances, social media, or online video games. I deliberately chose to experiment, with this experience myself to observe, analyze, and live through the process. My chosen addiction was an online video game. I allowed myself to engage deeply until I felt the grip of dependency, almost like a partner. Then, I turned this problem into the subject of my experiment. C ulture I am naturally curious. I love staying within a problem, observing it from inside, and searching for a way out. Rather than avoiding difficulties, I enter them to experience, learn and understand. This has become my culture—to treat life itself as a playground . It has been a common game that Whenever I had no pressing problem from, I created one by immersing myself and try to get  the sweat out the rain in a common struggle: video game addiction. This became one of the game in the list. ...
