I am back from Nepal and my retreat there, which turned out to be quite intense (but excellent). Thanks for the tip about the nose pinch. I am going to try doing that regularly and see what happens.
A question for you: have you ever tried using virtual reality as an aid to lucid dreaming? I read that studies have shown that it can be quite helpful. I’m intrigued.
I like the idea of connecting illusory form practice with reality checks. Now that I’m home again I will try that.
Another question for you that I also asked NightHawk: do you know anything about using virtual reality as an aid to lucid dreaming? I read that studies have been done that show VR can be quite helpful in that regard. It sounds interesting…
I have not tried VR yet, its on my bucket list. I do believe it can help, Andrew has said it does. I think it may require habitual usage to really show strong effect though, not sure if one time usage would be groundbreakijg, but again, I have yet to try it.
I have. It didn’t seem too, but I should try it again as I come to it with more experience.
No. This is a good question to bring up during one of the Q+As I think. I have a VR device but I’ve just used it for gaming. Not sure how in can be used in a spiritual context. I’d be interested in learning more too. I know Andrew did a podcast on this, I have yet to listen to it. https://nightclub.andrewholecek.com/courses/interview-series/lessons/the-relationship-of-virtual-reality-to-lucid-dreaming-with-jordan-quaglia-8/
I did try to look for some VR apps that would provide an AVE experience (audio and visual entrainment), I did find one app here, but otherwise the selection is very limited.
There are plenty of interesting meditation apps on VR though. Tripp is a popular one. Here’s their website: https://www.tripp.com/ . I did their trial and found it really intriguing. I don’t think this type of meditation is for me personally though, I find the beautiful visuals too distracting. Everyone is different though and a lot of people love this app.
Thank you for introducing yourself. May find what you are looking for and may it contribute to your well being. I appreciate knowing of your history with Buddhism for through it Andrew’s creative genius is placed in context and is helpful to those of us largely ignorant of these and just about most related issues.
Hello,
Is this where I introduce myself? I am just signing up and am not sure of the protocol. Thank you. Tory
