Self-Induced...

Is it possible to put oneself into a "coma" like state by somehow staying in whatever focus level that they're in?

  Shocked Why?!  Shocked



OK, I can't do that, just leave it at a one word answer.

But truly, why would you want to?
Or are you asking if one could do it accidentally?

In my experience of several  'types' of these explorations of consciousness, I've never fallen into a coma. I've never had even a body part, like a hand or arm, 'go to sleep' / get numb while I was 'out.'
I 've accidentally been jarred back into my body by a loud noise outdoors nearby, and I can say it's much rougher than just being jarred awake from sleeping.
But I never thought of myself as being in a coma while I was out.

Hi Inventech5,

It's complex, from what I know, it's possible to stay many hours in a focus state.  But soon or later, the meditator would receive huge signals from its physical body and would be pulled back by it (it needs water, or food, or to go to toilet, or anything else)

I guess that with enough determination, the meditator would be able to ignore those signals... and eventually his body would die.  

My guess number 2 is that with enough practice , the master meditator would be able to control the dying process by putting the body into hibernation state... but  soon or later, the body would die.

Why are you wandering about that?

The idea just popped into my head, so I thought is was worth asking.  Wink

I have read that some meditation practitioners in some cultures have been able to accomplish this feat, at least in the past. They meditated until their deaths, even controlled the preservation of their bodies (mummified) at death.
