10 Ways to Alter Your Consciousness Without Drugs

For me altered states of consciousness is a personal thing. I have been practicing hata yoga since my tenth year (my mother initiated it) and other forms of mental yoga and pranayam for sixty years. However, I am not a proponent unless asked.
Came across this unusual D-I-Y on altered states. Let me hasten to add that I do not endorse any of it. If anything, I found my experience quite the reverse of the presenter's on some of the things.
One is about TM. I came across this through an article in The Scientific American. Did further investigation. Finally went through a formal initiation (by the father of a friend) after a course in 1970. I regularly do it.It is completely effective unlike the presenter's experience.
I also do Shirasasan. It does not alter any consciousness in me nor any extra pressure of blood rushing to the brain or any such effect.

For such that want to investigate or just read for info:
