Notes
Connection Techniques are one of three different Connection Procedures
"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.[2]
Grof speaks of various "mind-altering techniques," like breathing, drumming, dancing, fasting, social and sensory isolation..." that can induce connection (or Holotropic States, as he says).[3] He also speaks of "systematic spiritual practice" like meditation, concentration, breathing, and movement exercises,'[4] but separates these from "mind-altering techniques' which are presumably not systematic and not spiritual?? Perhaps this is Grof attempting to assert a Eurocentric boundary. See "The Sociology of Religion: A Decolonizing Approach" for more on this Boundary Problem.[5]
George Harrison's early albums appear to be experiments in using music as a technique to facilitate Connection Experience in self and others.
