Tag: Techniques of Ecstasy
Techniques of Ecstasy refer to a set of rituals, practices, and methods employed by various cultures and spiritual traditions to induce altered states of consciousness. These techniques, ranging from rhythmic dancing, fasting, and meditation to the use of psychoactive substances, aim to transcend the ordinary state of being, often in pursuit of spiritual insight, healing, or communion with the divine. Such practices have been foundational in shamanistic traditions, mystical rituals, and certain religious ceremonies, offering participants a deepened sense of connection to the self, others, and the universe at large.
