About
Blow Your Mindfulness
An encyclopedia for the curious and courageous, The Book of Highs catalogs the hundreds of ways humans can alter consciousness, minus drugs and alcohol.
Drawn from cultures around the world, here are positive techniques-Self-Hypnosis, Alterations of Breathing, Fervent Prayer, Spinning. And here are "negative" techniques-Self-Flagellation, Sleep Deprivation, Fire Walking. Methods derived from religious and mystic traditions-Transcendental Meditation, Tea Ceremony, Tantric Sex. Methods that use devices, from the domestic Metronome Watching, to the state-of-the-art Brain-Wave Biofeedback, Electrodermal Activity (EDA), Ganzfeld Effect, and Psychedelic Bathtub.
Whether you're looking for a life-changing adventure-like Skydiving-or something to do every day, just to change things up-like Zen Morning Laugh-The Book of Highs will get you there.
Modern mindfulness meets '70s nostalgia in this fully revised classic, packed with over 250 activities to transcend the limits of ordinary consciousness without drugs. Part encyclopedia and part self-help, it's perfect for readers looking to explore the untapped potential of mind and body. Edward Rosenfeld is a writer, editor, and technology consultant based in New York. A founding editor of Omni magazine, he has written three volumes on neural networks, edited An Oral History of Gestalt Therapy, and penned the libretto to the opera Huxley's Last Trip. As psychedelics became illegal, he originally wrote The Book of Highs in 1973to focus on ways to alter consciousness without drugs.
