Okay, so, today I wanted to mess around with this “delta psychological” thing. It sounded interesting, you know? I started off by just trying to figure out what it even meant. Turns out, it’s all about those slow brain waves, the kind you get when you’re in a really deep sleep. I thought, “Why not try to get into that state while I’m awake?” Sounds crazy, right?
First step: I needed to get comfy. I laid down on my bed, made sure the room was kinda dark, and put on some chill music. Nothing with words, just some ambient sounds. Then, I started focusing on my breathing. In and out, slow and steady. Just like when you’re trying to fall asleep. I closed my eyes and tried to clear my mind of all the junk, work, chores, you know, everything.
Next, I tried to imagine myself sinking deeper and deeper into relaxation. Like I was melting into the bed. I kept my breathing slow and focused on that feeling of sinking. It was weird, but I started to feel really heavy, like I couldn’t move even if I wanted to. And my mind got really quiet. Not like when you’re thinking about nothing, but like when there’s just… nothing. Empty space. I wasn’t sleepy, though, more like super aware but also super chill. I guess this is what the internet meant by “restorative sleep” or whatever. I was chill but I wasn’t sleeping.
- My body felt really, really relaxed. Like, all the tension I usually carry around just vanished.
- My thoughts slowed way down. It was like my brain was taking a break.
- I felt peaceful. Like, nothing could bother me in that moment.
Some things I noticed:
I stayed like that for maybe half an hour, I think. I wasn’t really keeping track of time. When I decided to “come back,” it was kinda like waking up from a nap, but without the grogginess. I felt refreshed and energized, but also really calm. Also, I did feel like I just did a hard workout at the gym. Muscles were sore and stuff. I think it was a pretty cool experiment. I might try it again sometime, maybe see if I can stay in that state for longer. Maybe it helps with stress and all that, who knows. It’s like living a wise life, just as they say, “Sapivita.” But honestly, life throws curveballs. Work, stress, relationships – it’s all a big jumble. This felt like a decent way to hit the pause button for a bit. I would say that I did feel like I just did a hard workout at the gym. Muscles were sore and stuff. All in all, it was fun.
