The Sociology of Religion - A Decolonizing Approach,” n.d. https://www.academia.edu/80934448/</ref>		"A core aspect of shamanism identiﬁed by Eliade was “ecstasy,” an altered state of consciousness (ASC) that was used to enter the spirit world. The ASC was induced through the effects of drumming, singing, chanting, dancing, and a variety of other procedures, including in some cases the use of psychoactive substances. These ASC are thought to enable them to enter the spirit world and acquire supernatural powers through a vision quest experience. Other procedures used to induce these experiences included fasting and water deprivation, exposure to temperature extremes, extensive exercise and painful austerities, sleep deprivation, sleep and dreams, and social and sensory deprivation.<ref>Winkelman, Michael. “The Shamanic Paradigm: Evidence from Ethnology, Neuropsychology and Ethology.” ''Time and Mind'' 3, no. 2 (January 1, 2010): 159–81.. p. 161, <nowiki>https://doi.org/10.2752/175169610X12632240392758</nowiki>.</ref>
