During yesterday's chat I was reminded of the experience of Jill Bolte Taylor, a brain scientist who analyzed the effects of her own stroke:

Watching her intriguing and wonderfully articulate talk again, I was struck by her description of her dips into "right-hemisphere consciousness"—because it is very similar to how I was feeling after one of my marathon Aneros sessions (blog title "Fifth session—wonderful and bizarre"). Yet more evidence of how all things are connected…
Also during yesterday's chat I was starting to get onto a mini-orgasmic high, and after it ended decided to pop in the Helix. Well, during the ensuing session I think I definitely reached a new plateau…
It started out innocently enough: some music, some erotic pictures, some dim lighting… usually the first 30 minutes or so are not very intense, just some (mostly involuntary) contractions while I explore the sensuality of the human body with my mind.
Soon though I started to feel the little tickling sensation around my prostate that wanted to become something more. I focused my awareness on it, and by doing so it began to blossom… mini-Os, then dry-Os… At some point there was no further use in looking at erotic material, as it was all absorbed into my mind and there was much more it seemed I was able to do with it there. My eyes shut (or turned back into my head, I'm not sure which) and I was adrift in pre-orgasmic waves of pleasure and erotic thought.
