The xenon trance and self-study
People practising deep self-research (search of the I, spiritual search), know well, the more strongly the consciousness abstracts from a body, the more deeply and more intensively are experiences of the inner nature, the fuller is comprehension of its unity with the whole Universe. The altered state of consciousness (ASC) though here it would be more correct to use term “integrated or holotropic” at which these experiences are probable, is achieved by a great variety of ways.
Some of them are too long-time or are difficult for mastering: meditation, entering into lucid dream (LD). Depth of others is rather insignificant, but not less valuable: holotropic breathwork, vivation rebirthing, hypnosis, thanatotherapy. The third ones use the dangerous or forbidden substances: LSD, ketamine, psilocybin, mescaline (peyote), shamanistic drugs, etc. And finally, occurrence of others is unpredictable: out-of-body experience (OOBE), near-death experience, clairvoyance. The similar things can happen and meeting the spiritual teacher, a great yogi, jnana, through acquiring guru’s experience occurring in this case or acquiring of Shaktipath. But these meetings are rare, and it is necessary to seek for the teacher, as it is turned out, inside of yourself.
As it is, the catalyst of the altered state of consciousness in this case is one of air components. Yes! Yes! Air which all of us breath in right now. Only a small increase of this gas concentration results in feeling of contentment and pleasure in the body. The further increase of concentration almost completely separates consciousness from the body, only breathwork remains and a great travel to depths of self and the Universe.
The effects arising at deep immersing are as various as mystical and transpersonal experience, described in the relevant literature for many times. From memories of the last embodiments up to immediate knowledge of the God. The advanced researchers of themselves know, it is quite good for the rest to find out that in the altered state of consciousness the border separating unconscious is vanished and it enters the awareness. For the beginners it can appear to be frightening as on the surface of individual unconscious lies our own "dark" part superseded into the subconscious mind since the earliest childhood: these are every possible fears and suspicions with respect to the external world.
As far back as in the individual unconscious the subpersonalities used by us in the external world as masks disappear. Therefore in the ASC there often can be met a bifurcation or duplication of the personality. Further on, behind the individual unconscious lay perinatal and transpersonal areas of mentality, but they open not at once. So deep immersing means knowledge of cartography of the internal space. One of its best descriptions is given in Stanislav Grof's books.
With submission by people who already are engaged in research of this phenomenon, it is called xenon trance and it occurs at xenon inhalation, more exactly to say, a xenon-oxygen admixture. It is interesting that the xenon trance occurs with the first breath-ins and stops right after xenon supply, the usual consciousness is restored literally for a minute with pleasant residual sensations, as if after a sound curing sleeping.
The xenon is an inert gas and when getting into the body, it does not enter any chemical compounds therefore it is harmless and is removed from the body almost at once after termination of inhalation. In the studies carried out, there is used medical xenon of brand XseMed®, produced by the Russian enterprise, the only one in the world that produces a medical xenon of the highest purification. When passing to the relevant reference, you can learn in more detail about XseMed®.
The xenon trance is new, sound, pleasant and, undoubtedly, it works. But it cannot be applied as panacea or a unique means, only in the complex of integrative practice, including work with the body, mind and spirit.
