keep on laughing

warning, stuff ahead that certain people may find to be TOO MUCH INFORMATION about Mikey...if you think that's you, please go here instead. If you're curious, but unsure, the first paragraph is pretty safe, but I'm not liable for any TMI if you put 2+2 together.

Now that they're gone. Tonight, while watching television, I started to giggle manaically over some random joke. It felt good to laugh after being stressed out all day, and I thought it would be fun to keep it going. I used a visualization technique that I've developed and kept laughing, spurts of giggles that made life seem so wonderfully happy for about 15-20 minutes. There was a lovely afterglow effect too. Sort of like when you were a kid and spun on the sit and spin until you were about to puke, but fell off just in time. (Anyone who has not experienced that can't understand, but it's a wonderful feeling when you're six.)

The trick in question was something I worked out in.......another part of my life in order to extend another pleasurable feeling. Here's where the curious, but suddenly over informed ought to leave. It allows me to concentrate on that feeling and get it to continue for much longer than normal. (Yes, I'm talking about sex here, but I'm not getting more explicit than that so it's pretty safe from here on out. As I mention in the first paragraph, the technique seems to work for any intense feeling you might have. Yes, I really was giggling like an insane man in front of the television tonight...no going back and reinterpreting.) If you've practiced guided meditation...or other things of that nature, this probably won't be too hard to try out. I also make sure I'm in a space where I remember that everything in the universe is interconnected. I'm curious as to whether it would work for someone else, but pretty sure somebody holding that truth for themselves is going to have an easier time.

What I do is close my eyes at the moment the feeling starts and imagine that it's a little orb of light directly above the center of my forehead. Concentrating on the orb, I move it around in a counterclockwise direction nine times (pretty quickly, but not so fast that you lose "hold" of the orb.)

At the ninth swirl I experience a pretty large "after-shock" of the feeling. At that point I can keep swirling, a bit more slowly and get several more aftershocks.

It's sometimes hard to keep the circle going, and if my concentration is off, I've had it fail. (which is almost the reverse feeling of when it does work...like I've been blocked, but it works more times than not. I also noticed that as long as 30 minutes after stopping, I've been able to concentrate again and create another aftershock, albeit a minor one.

I call the technique widdershins. This is partially because I've always loved that word since first discovering it in my foray into Wicca, but mostly because it sounds more mysterious than counterclockwise.

For those of you who still feel that I've given TMI and could have concentrated on the technique just using the giggles for an example, I did think of that. The thing is that I don't think the gigglathon tonight would have happened if I hadn't first practiced and perfected it...elsewhere where the feeling is incredibly intense to begin with.
