What do you think about that?

Has anyone ever experienced it?

People who do body suspension believe that it takes them to a spiritual place while suspending. They also do this to mark a passage in there life like going into the world as an adult and more. It is believed to bring people closer to what there looking for in their life. It’s a natural high that can last from 1 day to or more. Body Suspension first came to be in tribes as a right of passage and among other things. As you may know many things today that have to do with the body like piercings and more were first started by tribes. People who traveled the world saw the tribes doing things like this and only by human nature became interested in it. So in a nutshell that’s how those things came to be here.

For me I can not wait to do this, I want to do it as a right of passage into adulthood. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time. I want to feel a spiritual connection, to feel that would make me understand so many things in my life. And what is to come in the future…

I think this is a wonderful idea actually Lenore. Native tribes in this country indeed used suspension as a rite of passage into adulthood. It was done in a more painful fashion then the suspensions that are done today from what I understand. I think before you go to do this that you should meditate deeply and prepare your mind. That way you'll get the maximum benefit from the experience...and your spiritual journey during the suspension will be greatly enhanced. I think this will be a very moving experiance for you...and you will learn much about yourself. Who knows...perhaps you will even be able to put some old demons to rest once and for all as well. I totally support you in this my dear friend!

not my current cup of tea
but who knows what perverstions will strike me

thanx i know i need to medatate before i do it i really cant wait. im gonna have pics taken when i do and post them in my profile thanx for supporting me dear. and its also tribes from all over the world.

You're most welcome darling. I can't wait to see the pics and to hear your experience of this! When do you plan to do the suspension?

im not sure when i think sometime after i move to michigan and i find someone who does it to help me out with it.

I have a friend in Edmonton who has done a few suspentions of different type...
I asked him about it and all he said was word can't describe the feeling.....
I plan to do one when i have spare money to throw about.

Well I have to say I have wonder what it would be like but I dont think I would ever try it. I would also like to skydive but not in my life time. I guess I am not living life to the max.

I experience sleep paralysis every now and again,... I don't know its probably completely different but once you get over the initial fear its ok. Its more of a mild sleeping disorder that everyone gets once and a while. It does seem kinda spiritual in a way losing complete control over everything but your eyelids.

this isnt a fear though so yeah. but i do know what your talking about and im share they really have nothing in common.

Great idea Lenore!
Personaly I havent tried it yet, but I d like to.
Just something similar happened to me while dreaming.

thanx


sure* no share hehe cant sleep right now

damn spell* not sleep lol

but yeah its gonna be a great experience. i hope someone here has done it i want to hear what they have to say and how it feels.

It's a good idea lenore. I've wanted to try it too. I've heard people talk about it and it just seems like something that i should try. I'll definately want to hear about it after you've done it. Good luck.

ok i for got to explain it when i did this

for who that dont know what body suspension is its, hanging by hooks pierced into random parts of flesh on you. theres many different ways to suspend some are suicide thats where you hang from 2 to 4 hooks from your back, superman where you look like fly superman flying, lotus where you like your medatating and much more.

it should be a great experience for u, i would not mind trying something like that myself sometime, but it would take some great preperation before i could even think bout starting cause i have lost my calm and content place that i was in.

i would love to get together with people sometime and do this as a group. ive been reading more into it today. i more i read about it the more i want to do it.

Very interesting. I would do it for the pain part more than the getting clsoer to 'god'.. I found this amazing article that should be looked at. very similar to this..

Being a fakir is not just about showmanship, it is a way of life, a philosophy. You can not learn the discipline if you are not born with the urge to explore the limits of the body.

yeah ive heard about that and saw it when i go on bmezine.com and thanx, yeah im also kinda doing it for the pain too. so yeah im doing it for a few reasons i guess.

I want to hear all about it when you do it! I was thinking about it myself and I want to be able to talk to someone who did it first hand!

http://www.bmezine.com/news/fakir/20040508.html (not for the faint hearted).. From whast i have read this method, it is to gain a OBE and a powerful trip.. Their are a few ways in this day and age that would achieve the same results.. but it is good to try everything... You are very brave for wanting to do it this way....

Thanks for the site Dhampir. I seen someone on tv once but they were hooked up to a helicopter. Just make sure you have strong skin.....lol

our skin is actusaly pretty flexiable and derable our bodies can be put through can and still be fine.

Thanks for the site! I'll have to take a look!!

*bump* i just think that they will catch on really soon so i dont want it to be lost in the depths of the RIP'ed sea.

This sounds like an amazing experience, although I haven't tried it and dont knwo enough about it to know (thanks for the link Dhampir.)

I knew that piercings where derived from tribal groups, and I think it may (as with us) be the mixture of the striking appearance and pain factor that keeps them strangely addictive and interesting. Humans tend to link with things like these.

Cant wait to read more on this. X

From what I have heard on Suspension, I would one day like to do it. I think the first time I ever saw it happen was on the television on that show with the vodoo priestess, the witch, the nauturalist and the vampire. I saw the man do it and hold that girl and I saw on his face utter tranquility. It was so peaceful. Every time I get a chance to read about it I do and so far I've liked what I read.

mad mad house i remember that show, i really liked it and that episode i loved the most i think. then on national geographic channal they have this show called taboo and somtimes they do things on suspension.

I remember both those shows! I watched every Mad Mad house ep. Only reality show I followed!

does anyone know if theres any Documentarys just about suspension?

i want to do this for the same reasons as you but i fere i may weigh to much and i cant find anywhere to do it!

nah dont worry about weight dear. many people with diff weights do it its ok,yeah the people i knew here that do this moved so yeah know i have to find others.

Sun Dances are an important aspect of our spiritual beliefs for many Natives. Suspension, when done respectfully, can be similar to that of our Sun Dances but Sun Dancing is by far more difficult, consuming, and sacrificial than an hour/2 hour long Suspension.

It's different for many tribes(the way a Sun Dance can be held) but in our Hidatsa way, it's a four day sacrifice. We go without food, water, sleep, and we either hang from trees or pull buffalo skulls through piercings made on the chest or back with slivers of bone.

The point of the Sun Dance is to pull free from either the tree or the skulls which symbolizes pulling free from the negativity in our lives. We fast and do these things for four days and four nights; it's an extremly draining, exhausting but spiritually exhilirating expierance.

wow thats interesting, i never heard of that, i should look it up sometime, thanx for the new info.

Suspension could be referred to as everything from a bastardization of the Sundance to appropriating Native culture, to an adaption of an ancient way for finding one's self spiritually.

Personally speaking as a Native woman, I feel that suspension, when done correctly and with the right intentions, can be beneficial to one's growth.

I wish you luck with your endeavors. :)

that sounds cool

hmm, I leave my body a lot. I am trying to master Astral Projection... maybe I will one day. But I have before and it took me to a wonderful valley with a water fall and it was so beautiful that it made me cry. It was something I yearn for I guess.... peace and solitude

I would really like to learn to it as I have read those posts. it sounds so great...
But have someone also a bad experiences?

its not really astral projection my dear, i guess some look at it that way.

yes some people can have a hard time too.

very interesting subject, never tried it but i wish, just had some dream paralysis too

Well, not totally Astral projection... just a state of being...grr I give up, its too hard to explain

it ok i know what you mean,
